NEW FROM PROPER MUSIC FARA
TIMES FROM TIMES FALL Two years on from their 2016 debut, this supremely talented quartet of women are ready to unveil their second album, Times From Times Fall – a celebration of their homeland packed with self-composed tunes and songs primarily drawn from the words of Orcadian poets. “One of the most exciting new bands to come from Scotland in the last few years.” – FOLK RADIO UK FARA MUSIC
MAGGIE ROCHE
WHERE DO I COME FROM Where Do I Come From is a collection of songs by Maggie Roche (1951–2017). Maggie was at the centre of the long- running and much-admired group The Roches, created with her sisters Terre and Suzzy. Where Do I Come From is a 32 track 2CD set of Maggie’s songs, spanning her entire music career plus four unreleased tracks. STORYSOUND RECORDS
BIXIGA 70
QUEBRA CABEçA Urban Afro-Brazilian grooves, empowered horn-driven melodicism and massive dance floor inspiration. One of South America’s most exhilarating musical propositions. Bixiga 70 has always been a reflection of the streets where they live. The band played their first show in October 2010 and released their debut album a year later. Eight years on they are still the same 10-piece collective, honing and shaping the music, evolving towards the sound on Quebra Cabeça. GLITTERBEAT RECORDS
HAZEL DICKENS & ALICE GERRARD SING ME BACK HOME:
THE DC TAPES, 1965–1969 These newly unearthed recordings from bluegrass trailblazers Hazel Dickens & Alice Gerrard are a raw, unfiltered listen to the duo at the height of their collaborative energy. Sing Me Back Home: The DC Tapes, 1965–1969 is out now on Free Dirt Records. “This exceptional disc is nigh impeccable” – FOLK RADIO UK FREE DIRT RECORDS
FOFOULAH
DAEGA REK The London based Afro-dub ensemble Fofoulah, have followed-up their trailblazing debut album with an even more shapeshifting and adventurous recording: Daega Rek (The Truth). Slippery sabar beats, dystopian electronics and echoing, shamanic chants ratchet up both the dub quotient and the dramatic tension. A soundworld that is both earthy and urban, futurist and rooted. GLITTERBEAT RECORDS
EMILYN STAM & FILIPPO GAMBETTA
SHORELINES Canadian Emilyn Stam (piano, 5-string fiddle) and Italian Filippo Gambetta (diatonic accordion) – have put together an album of original compositions rooted in Italian and North American music traditions. Their diverse experiences contribute to the duo’s open and curious perspective on instrumental folk music resulting in a transatlantic musical collaboration that is truly exciting. BOREALIS
ASHLEY HUTCHINGS
PARADISE AND THORNS Hutchings’ new double CD and LP Paradise And Thorns is all about love and its consequences. Disc One: ‘Gloucester Docks Revisited’ – adds more detail to the unfolding relationship Hutchings depicted in the original album and brings into focus other scenes not previously described. Disc Two is Hutchings’ personal selection of love songs and stories demonstrating the many faces and types of love and what it means in different contexts. TALKING ELEPHANT
AUSTIN LUCAS
IMMORTAL AMERICANS Co-produced by Lucas and Will Johnson (Centro-matic) and recorded/engineered by Steve Albini, Austin Lucas’ seventh studio album, Immortal Americans was written after a tumultuous period that found Lucas getting sober, supporting his partner through a battle with cancer, and breaking up with his long time record label. Immortal Americans is a clear-eyed album for murkier times, rooted in stripped-down heartland rock songs that find the artist reflecting upon the changes in both his hometown and himself. CORNELIUS CHAPEL RECORDS
TALISK
BEYOND Winners of the 2017 MG Alba Scots Trad Music Awards, Glasgow based band Talisk are, undeniably, one of the fastest rising bands on the UK folk scene. Recorded by Andrea Gobbi, mastered by Grammy Award winner Brian Lucey and co-produced by Mohsen Amini, the 2018 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards Musician Of The Year, Beyond, the band’s second studio album, is a worthy successor of Abyss. TALISK RECORDS
FRANK NEWSOME
GONE AWAY WITH A FRIEND Rev. Frank Newsome sings a more than four-century-long American tradition into the present on his debut album out now on Free Dirt Records. Newsome’s arresting a cappella hymn singing is a sonic ancestor to bluegrass and gospel. In fact, bluegrass master Ralph Stanley worshipped and sang with Newsome. FREE DIRT RECORDS
IMAR
AVALANCHE Glasgow’s hottest new folk property, 2018 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards Horizon Award winner, Ímar returns with their second studio album Avalanche. The album comes just months after their success at the 2018 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards.

COURTNEY HARTMAN & TAYLOR ASHTON
BEEN ON YOUR SIDE Courtney Hartman & Taylor Ashton present twelve tracks of ephemeral charm on their quietly stunning debut. The record is an intimate dialog between two musicians who are committed to refreshingly honest music making, and who push one another to greater heights. “Gorgeously woven duets” – POP MATTERS FREE DIRT RECORDS
