This is the age of post-factual lies, which is reflected in Mesh's album title "The Truth Doesn't Matter" and a dark undertone that occasionally seeps into their new songs. What remains entirely true is the fact that the UK duo has a nearly uncanny knack for writing electronic hits that are as elegant as they are captivating. "The Truth Doesn't Matter" bursts out like a sparkling firework while subtly referencing three decades of electronic music spanning from GIORGIO MORODER, YAZOO, and DEPECHE MODE via GARBAGE and MASSIVE ATTACK to more contemporary artists. At the same time, Mesh always maintain their easily recognisable and unique musical identity as well as the trademark sounds that they have cultivated since their beginnings in the early nineties. With "The Truth Doesn't Matter", Mesh climb yet another rung on the ladder leading to electronic music heaven. Each song wriggles it's way happily into the brain and sticks around leading to spontaneous whistling of melodies and the public singing of extremely catchy chorus lines. You have been warned: "The Truth Doesn't Matter" is highly infectious and leads to a happier life!

Laura Veirs returns with Temple Songs, her first album in four years-and the first she has written, recorded, arranged, produced, and performed entirely on her own. "I didn't know if I would write songs again," says Veirs, who spent the intervening years building a backyard studio, getting married, blending a family with four teenagers, deepening her visual art practice (painting), and expanding her music teaching. "Turns out that period was a gathering phase. When I made the commitment to recording the album myself, the muse caught me again and it came together very quickly."

For more than a decade, Mama's Broke, the Canadian duo of Amy Lou Keeler and Lisa Maria, have forged a style carried across landscapes rather than tied to one. Their forthcoming 12-song LP Reunion follows years in near-constant motion, bringing their folk-without-borders approach to small clubs, DIY spaces, and everywhere in between.Reunion reflects a world coming apart in plain sight, tracing fractured communities, the erosion of shared ground, and the growing awareness that the systems we were taught to trust no longer hold or deliver the promises they were meant to keep. The songs don't preach or prescribe; they reflect, holding up a mirror and leaving space for something else to take shape.Sonically, Reunion moves with quiet intimacy. These are the kinds of songs shared around campfire flames or in small, attentive rooms, where every detail matters. The arrangements are delicate and stripped back. There's something in their harmonies that lingers, quiet and haunting, hard to shake. The effect is timeless: it feels less recorded than remembered, as though it's been carried here, passed between voices, and held close. It's the sound of something older than the room it's played in, something that, once heard, feels like it's always been there.
