Group Listening
Group Listening is a new project from Stephen Black (Sweet Baboo) and Cardiff based experimental musician, Paul Jones. They debut release on PRAH recordings, Piano and Clarinet: Selected Works Vol. 1, is a collection of ambient work from the like of Brian Eno, Arthur Russell and Robert Wyatt arranged for the aforementioned instruments.

Rocheman
Rocheman is a London stage music composer and sound designer. Five years in the making, his eponymous debut album careens a hazy path through post-punk, new-wave and electronica. Rocheman's sound both fights and embraces the bedroom production aesthetic; this is neither entirely digital or analogue, clinical or DIY. Rather it is a multitude of alien textures, parallel world harmonies and "other voices" beckoning our baritone protagonist from off-stage. Theatrical references are apt as Rocheman finds inspiration in the stylised, uncompromising works of David Lynch, Wong Kar-Wai and Apichatpong Weerasethakul. The result is pop music with a weight of grandeur and orchestral ambition, all tempered by a homespun gauze.

Fun Fun Funeral
"The brightly coloured songs of Fun Fun Funeral are beautiful collages, always with a little glue overlapping. Bold song writing, dense lo-fi arrangements, a dark and happy poem. With their specially crafted samples, scraped and scratched strings, high voices, percussions, the duo exhibits original pop songs of yesterday and tomorrow." Bongo Joe Records
