Punk-funk provocateur Betty Davis' 1974 sophomore album They Say I'm Different features a worthy-of-framing futuristic cover challenging David Bowie's science fiction funk with real rocking soul-fire, kicked off with the savagely sexual Shoo-B-Doop and Cop Him (later sampled by Ice Cube). Her follow up is full of classic cuts like Don't Call Her No Tramp and the hilarious, hard, deep funk of He Was A Big Freak.

Beverly Glenn-Copeland returns with Laughter In Summer, a deeply moving new album created alongside his wife and collaborator, Elizabeth. Written during Glenn’s journey with dementia, the record stands as both a love letter between them and a testament to resilience, memory, and devotion. Recorded at Montreal’s Hotel2Tango with producer Howard Bilerman (Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Vic Chesnutt), the album captures performances in a single take, featuring contributions from a choir of Canadian and American voices including Helena Deland. Songs like “Let Us Dance (Movement Two)” and “Children’s Anthem” embody the spirit of collaboration, while pieces such as “Harbor” and “Middle Island Lament” draw from personal and ancestral histories. Laughter In Summer carries the same transformative power that made Keyboard Fantasies and Transmissions modern classics, offering music that uplifts, heals, and connects across generations. It is a vital release from a visionary artist whose creative voice only deepens with time.

Curacao aka Aqua Blue Vinyl. Beverly Glenn-Copeland began his musical career in the 1960s, when he studied classical singing at Montreal's McGill University and performed at Expo 67. A pair of self-titled, multi-genre albums released in the early '70s showcased his powerful voice and songwriting talent. In 1986, while living in rural Ontario, Glenn-Copeland taught himself to use digital synthesis and recorded the album that would ultimately alter the entire course of his career. At the time, he self-released Keyboard Fantasies via a 200-copy cassette run, selling just a handful while the rest waited in storage. In 2015, a Japanese record collector emailed Glenn-Copeland about selling the remainder; and a new generation had unearthed his art. In 2021, he released the remix album Keyboard Fantasies Reimagined, which featured reimagined versions of the album's songs from contemporary visionaries such as Arca, Blood Orange, and Kelsey Lu. His multifaceted body of work surrenders to the beauty, pain, and great capacity for healing that courses through life; in it's unguarded sincerity, it invites you to share in it's courage. Glenn-Copeland's new album, The Ones Ahead - his first collection of new music in nearly two decades - deepens these explorations, casting searching light into how all of us must dissolve the harms of this world and carry each other forward into the next.Track List

Horrorful Heights marks a formidable new chapter in The Bevis Frondas deep and storied catalogue, showcasing the enduring creativity of songwriter, guitarist and frontman Nick Saloman as he moves into yet another decade of recording. Long established as one of the most distinctive voices in British underground rock, Saloman continues to refine the bandas signature blend of melodic psychedelia, wiry guitar epics and sharp, emotionally attuned songwriting. Horrorful Heights offers one of the most approachable entry points to the bandas world in years: a record that gathers their core strengths into a cohesive, vivid set. Recorded with long-time drummer Dave Pearce and guitarist Paul Simmons, alongside new bassist Louis Wiggett, the album moves fluidly between jangling psych-pop, heavy-lit guitar workouts and pastoral comedown reveries. Wiggett also brings a surprising new colour to the Frond palette, contributing pedal steel to aoBest Laid Plansa? and aoMomma Bear, a? recalling early-70s country-tinged British rock from Bronco or Cochise. Though unmistakably eclectic, Horrorful Heights presents a focused portrait of The Bevis Frond in 2025 - vital, tuneful and unburdened by nostalgia. Saloman describes the collection simply: the best songs head written in recent years, arriving unforced and instinctive. The result is a late-period peak from one of Britainas most quietly influential underground bands.

The work of BIG BRAVE is ever-expanding. The trio's singular masterful sculpting of sonics into songcraft tucks layers of vulnerability into frenetic storms. In grief or in hope is an innovative vision of electro-acoustic sound and emotive storytelling, an endless bounty of overwhelming distortions and devastating beauty. In grief or in hope marks a shift for BIG BRAVE towards denser guitar-oriented compositions. With longtime touring bassist Liam Andrews (MY DISCO, Aicher) joining guitarist/vocalist Robin Wattie and guitarist Mathieu Ball in the studio for the first time, the pieces are keenly layered with a rich tapestry of harmonics and tonal intricacies. The trio's instinctual progressions made more vivid through live recording, harnessing the gargantuan and storied sound of their performances. Wattie writes: " All that I could reflect on was grief and hope; death and life; cause and effect; shared experiences of being a human person."The tenth album for the ensemble, in grief or in hope pays homage to their past while looking into their future. Standout "the ineptitude for mutual discernment" expands on lyrical themes first explored on 2015's Au de la where "verdure" echoes melodies from the title track of 2014's Feral Verdure. These references to their past serve as potent reflections on BIG BRAVE's evolution as artists. A sonic whirlpool of string instruments surround Wattie's commanding vocals as she shifts from spectral undulations on pieces like "what may be the kindest way to leave" to the direct, spare declarations of the title track. The ambiguity of mountainous chords on "an uttering of antipathy" are coupled with autotuned phrases emphasizing the protagonists' isolation inside the fray. Together the trio shift deliver emotional momentum that vividly describes the complex and deep feelings of struggle, pain, and transcendence. In grief or in hope transmits that sense of humanity with every gesture.
