Peter Bruntnell
Rolling Stone once declared Peter Bruntnell to be, “one of England's best kept musical secrets”. England has successfully managed to keep Peter Bruntnell a secret for all this time, even from itself. “Maybe this will be the album to finally give him the worldwide superstar recognition he deserves!”, enthused every other Peter Bruntnell album review from the last 20+ years, with an admirably unwavering optimism. “If we lived in a just world, Peter Bruntnell would by now be in the middle of his third or fourth global arena tour, his biggest worry working out how to courier his latest armful of Grammy awards back to the UK so his butler could have them installed in the west wing of mansion by the time he got home,” said a feature in The Guardian in 2016, intent on letting the cat out of the bag, but failing miserably. Needless to say, we don’t live in a just world and Peter Bruntnell is still having to get by without a butler. Although perhaps the curriculum is to blame for this failure to ignite mass awareness, with not one teacher in the past two decades known to have heeded the call from NME to teach Peter’s songs in schools. New album 'Houdini And The Sucker Punch' has garnered all the predictably pleasing praise of previous albums, with a handful of writers suggesting that it’s on a par with Peter’s 1999 alt-country classic Normal For Bridgwater and has also found itself featuring in a number of End of Year lists, including Mojo Magazine’s Top 5 Americana Albums of 2024.

Joana Serrat
For Dripping Spring, Joana Serrat's fourth album in five years, Joana travelled from her home in Vic, Barcelona to the Texas Hill Country outside Austin. There she teamed up with Israel Nash at his Plum Creek Sound studio near the town of Dripping Springs. For the recording sessions Nash & Serrat corralled a stellar crew of musicians: Joey & Aaron McClellan, (Midlake, BNQT, John Grant, Israel Nash), Eric Swanson & Josh Fleischmann (Israel Nash), Dave Simonett (Trampled By Turtles) and Dennis Love (Futurebirds), as well as Nash himself providing additional guitar and backing vocals. Israel Nash produced the album, with Ted Young (Grammy award winner for The Rolling Stones) on engineering and mixing duties. Dripping Springs is out now via Loose and you can order it here: smarturl.it/drippingsprings Joana sets out on her UK tour playing dates throughout January and February with both Israel Nash and The Delines, including shows at London Oslo and Manchester's Deaf Institute.…
