Samantha Martin & Delta Sugar – A Beautiful Buzz
A live like we don't do anymore. With A Beautiful BuzzSamantha Martin & Delta Sugar deliver their first public testimony. In the winter of 2022, six months pregnant, the singer takes the stage. From this situation is born this unstoppable live performance, worthy of the great revues of the 1970s! It sounds vintage on every level.

Ellen and the Boyz – Sexy but Sad
It's all in the vivid expression of Ellen Wallace because it's the themes scuttled by the Franco-British that give substance. Violence, emotional dependence, mental health, damaged bodies, toxic relationships… nothing festive. They offer an idea of the intensity of the lady and the rage that inhabits this particular tone of voice. Musically, the thing moves between punk, post-punk, noise and everything that expresses raw anger.

Pond – Terrestrials
By their own admission, the Australians felt a sudden desire for this new album – the eleventh in the studio – to plunge back into the 80s, those of post-punk, new-wave and an underlying gothic rock. Nothing outdated or passive on the program, however, quite the contrary.

The Luminanas – Live in Beaubourg
Beyond the one-off event that it “relates” here even without its video component, namely a collaboration with the contemporary artist Smith two evenings in October 2025, this Live in Beaubourg reflects the desire of Lionel and Lumiñana to leave the framework of the strict concert, foreshadowing other “liberties” such as carte blanche in Sète at the end of August.

Alex Amen – Sun of Amen
Between country and folk, the Texan by origin and Californian by adoption has clearly refused to choose sides. On arrival? A first album whose tones, those of his voice as of this pedal steel or this National which like to intrude into the decor, give it a feeling of lightness which can prove deceptive.

Graham Coxon – Castle Park
This new album from the renowned guitarist, who cut his teeth with Blur, is not really one and yet, we welcome it as one of the most exciting new releases of this early summer. Recorded in 2011, as part of the sessions for his album A+E (2012), Castle Park remained in the musician's vault, due to Blur-esque over-activity… This gestation period gave Coxon the opportunity to refine the titles, produced by Ben Hillier, while respecting the initial project: a raw record, in line with a classic mod sound, with this ultimately irresistible pop-rock touch, carried by Coxon's falsely accurate voice.

Swim Deep – Hmm
Two years after the noticed There's A Big Star OutsideSwim Deep seems to have made the most of its dream-pop adventure, taking the sap from it to better nourish what comes next. This new opus, nicely titled Hmmcontinues a broad and airy rock momentum, alongside a certain Bill Ryder-Jones on production.
