SUMMARY:Nick Hakim
DESCRIPTION:Nick Hakim sits somewhere between an analytical philosopher\, mystic poet\, and abstract painter. To hear him speak of music is to encounter someone who fully understands its power\, who has been moved by its magic and seen its miracles. He’s devoted to music as both an ancient artform and eternal medicine. To hear him play music is to feel these truisms in live time. It’s a spirit that the New York-based songwriter has carried in his music—both as composer and collaborator. From early LPs like 2017’s Green Twins and 2020’s Will This Make Me Good\, to his new album\, I Can See\, Hakim has pursued the truth in every note he’s written\, every lyric he’s sung. His truth\, though\, is more akin to the abstract and intangible than the factual—more Borges than George Washington. It’s a cosmic assuredness that manifests throughout I Can See; a belief that the good in the universe is good for a reason. \nI Can See is a defining statement from an artist who has yet to put out a record that is anything but. And yet\, Nick Hakim’s fourth solo LP is a different experience than his previous efforts. It’s bolder\, stronger\, more confident. Hakim is more intimately attuned to his vision\, and there’s not a note on the album that’s out of place. Nick Hakim might shudder at anyone calling him a healer\, but this is certainly music for healing\, for taking a breath and facing the world with confidence\, lucidity\, and joy.

SUMMARY:Josiah and the Bonnevilles
DESCRIPTION:Josiah Leming has paid his dues. As a teenager from East Tennessee\, his devotion to music led him to hit the road\, where he lived in his car and played for anyone who would listen. That took him all the way to a major record deal when he was only nineteen. When that ended\, he refused to give up and became an indie artist\, relying solely on the music and his undeniable gift for crafting relatable songs that led to a devoted fan base he calls the Bonnevilles. He appreciates them so much that he includes them in his artist name. “They’re the reason I’m able to make music\,” he says. \n2024 saw Josiah and the Bonnevilles reaching new heights\, completing a headlining tour of thirty-three sold-out dates followed by a slew of international stops that proved his global following. He has become known for raw emotion and a profound connection to his audience. This newfound attention has led to much anticipation for his new album — and As Is lives up to the expectations. \n  \n“I knew I had a responsibility to try to become a better writer\, a better artist\,” he says. “One day that feels like a blessing\, and the next it feels pretty intimidating.” Instead of reproducing his popular sound from the self produced “Endurance”\, he decided to expand it. “I think it would have been hard to keep my excitement to go out on the road with another kind of acoustic record.” His tenth studio album finds him going more electric than ever before\, even as he unplugs from the digital world. “I feel like a grizzled old veteran at this point\,” he says\, even though he is only thirty-six. “I’m desiring quiet\, a work space away from the internet…I felt like it was important to pull back this last year and try to understand what’s on my heart.” What he found there resulted in an album focusing on joy\, sorrow\, and working-class issues that feel very of the moment in a time when so many Americans are struggling to make ends meet. \nLeming comes by his empathy for working people honestly. He’s one of nine siblings\, born and raised in Morristown\, Tennessee\, right in the heart of Appalachia. He taught himself piano when he was eight and was writing songs by thirteen. As a child he was intently aware of his community and intensely proud of his people\, something he thinks about even more in these trying times. “I look at my I look at my folks in East Tennessee and very few of them seem to be winning in this new world\,” Leming says. “Being a regular person\, working\, trying your best. I think that’s something to be proud of.” \nHis records have always been intensely personal. But on As Is he wanted to step away from being the main character and instead use vignettes to express essential truths he has learned. “I want anyone to be able to put it on and not think about me when they’re listening. I want them to be in the emotion.” Because of this he made a conscious choice to not include himself on the album cover. \nLeming chose ten tracks from ninety-six songs he has written over the last year and a half. As Is features the most co-writes he has ever recorded. “I love writing alone\, but I wanted to bring in some trusted partners on this one\,” he says. The resulting list features some of the most acclaimed songwriters working today. There’s Nashville powerhouse Natalie Hemby\, a two-time Grammy winner who has written for everyone from Lady Gaga to Miranda Lambert; Joel Little\, a Grammy winner who has written with Lorde\, Taylor Swift\, Noah Kahan\, and many others; Scott Harris\, best known for work he’s produced or written for artists such as Shawn Mendes\, Dua Lipa\, and The Chainsmokers; and others. \nTo help him find the sound he hoped to achieve\, Leming brought in Konrad Snyder as a co-producer. Snyder has engineered or produced some of the best work to come out of Nashville in the last decade\, including tracks by Kacey Musgraves\, Stephen Sanchez\, and Noah Kahan. “It was an amazing partnership with Konrad\,” Leming says. “I never had to touch a computer or a piece of gear; he’s a whiz with all that stuff. I’m usually so hands-on with my stuff\, switching between setting up\, tracking and editing but on this record I got to just perform the songs.” \nThe songs on As Is feature Leming’s vivid sense of place\, precise yet poetic lyrics\, and emotion that is always longingly expressed by his vulnerable vocals. This collection is more up-tempo than most of his work\, which is something Leming and Snyder strived to make happen on about half the songs. “I was thinking a lot about the energy\, of having a couple songs that can amp up people at live shows\,” he says. \nThis power is especially apparent on songs like opening track “Good Boy”\, which boils toward a rousing breakdown\, “Carolina Heart”\, a tune Leming calls “less existential and my attempt at a feel-good song\,“ and “Going Gone”\, a nostalgic track about the passage of time. “Mountain Girl” is a foot-tapping harmonica-led tribute to Appalachian women. There’s the jaunty rock of “Redline”\, and a song called “One Day at a Time” that is sure to resonate with anyone who has ever struggled with addiction\, depression\, or a lack of confidence. Leming’s fans often cite his storytelling abilities as one reason they love his work\, and that takes center stage on the title track\, a spoken-word song. “Where It Starts” is a meditation on how heartache can lead to great art. \nThe first single is the powerful “Hell Without the Flames\,” the album’s darkest track that also showcases some of the best lyrics and vocals of his career. \nThey all make for a collection of songs that take the listener full circle. “There’s all these kinds of love stories\, and it walks through many variations on heartbreak\, ultimately landing on home\, acceptance and overcoming that hurt. I just want people to be able to see themselves in the songs.” \nThat’s what it’s all about for Leming. “The only goal for me is to make something real\, and honest\, and that can get them through the day\,” he says. “I gave everything I have for this album. I laid it all on the table\, which is what I always want to do.” As Is proves to be all of that\, and more\, a milestone for one of our most authentic and resonant artists working today.

SUMMARY:Jack Savoretti
DESCRIPTION:Last year\, Jack announced a series of special shows\, including a one-off night at London’s Royal Albert Hall\, which sold out in under an hour. He will also play already sold-out headline dates at De Montfort Hall in Leicester and Liverpool Philharmonic\, alongside an intimate BRITs Week for War Child performance at London’s Emerald Theatre\, all taking place ahead of the album’s release. \nThe Autumn 2026 tour will open in Athens on September 25\, before travelling through a further ten countries across Europe and arriving in the UK on October 21 to play Plymouth Pavilions. The UK and Ireland leg includes 15 dates\, with shows in Glasgow\, Dublin\, Belfast\, Cardiff\, Gateshead\, Manchester and more. \nJack Savoretti’s ninth studio album\, We Will Always Be The Way We Were\, is a bold return to his musical roots\, recorded at Eastcote Studios in West London. \nMarking 20 years since his debut album Between the Minds\, the record finds Savoretti reconnecting with the raw storytelling and cinematic soul that defined his earliest work. Written and recorded with his long-time touring band\, the album celebrates the craft\, camaraderie and creative freedom that have carried him through two decades at the forefront of British songwriting. \n“This is a full-circle album\,” says Jack. “It’s going back to my roots\, to the neighbourhood where I first started making music – with the same friends and musicians I met around Ladbroke Grove and Portobello Road. It’s the album I always wanted to make when I was starting out\, but didn’t yet have the courage or experience to make. Now I do.” \nJack’s current single\, the title track from the album\, has just been added to the BBC Radio 2 A List and the beginning of the month saw him performing the track on Graham Norton.

SUMMARY:JOACHIM COODER & ADRIANO VITERBINI
DESCRIPTION:There is a somewhat quiet giant making their way around America\, Europe\, and a few other territories that isn’t always noticed\, but when he’s there\, there is no way to ever overlook his music. Joachim Cooder is one-of-a-kind. That is all there is to it. He plays a variety of instruments\, writes songs that seem to come from a slightly different universe and is unforgettable once seen and heard. Cooder has a handful of recordings now\, and every one is absolutely unforgettable. Which isn’t hard to understand once it’s clear what kind of musical discoveries he’s had in his life\, and one he continues to chase with the kind of energy of a champion athlete. One of Cooder’s true calling cards is how his music is able to float in air. He is not tied to the tyranny of a snare drum or any one instrument. What the man is able to do is a blend of percussion\, strings\, vocals\, and other wonders without names into a breathing animal all its own. This really is popular music for people beyond popularity. People that live in a time of their own. \nJoachim Cooder grew up surrounded by music alongside his father\, legendary guitarist Ry Cooder who took him on the road at an early age on the drums\, playing both live and in the studio. These touring and recording projects allowed him to share stages and recordings with Johnny Cash\, Ali Farka Touré\, V. M. Bhatt\, Steve Earle\, John Lee Hooker\, Dr. John\, Nick Lowe\, Mavis Staples\, The Happy Mondays\, and most notably the award winning project The Buena Vista Social Club which has sold more than eight million copies worldwide and entered the book of Guinness World Records as the best-selling world music album of all time.

SUMMARY:Hey\, Nothing
DESCRIPTION:hey\, nothing—composed of best friends Tyler Mabry and Harlow Phillips—has built a devoted following with their richly literary emo-folk\, marked by indelible vocal interplay and unflinching explorations of addiction\, toxicity\, trauma\, and family struggles. \n  \nInspired by Stephen Chbosky’s coming-of-age classic The Perks of Being a Wallflower\, the duo has sold out runs of headlining shows and earned praise from outlets including NPR Music\, Alternative Press\, Pigeons & Planes\, Stereogum\, Brooklyn Vegan\, and even their hometown Atlanta newspaper. \nBarely 21 years old\, hey\, nothing has spent much of 2025 deepening their connection with a devoted fan base through passionate\, story-driven live shows—equal parts poignant and playfully humorous—at both headline performances and major festivals like Bonnaroo\, Lollapalooza\, Shaky Knees\, Austin City Limits\, and All Things Go\, solidifying their unshakable identity and a growing community of die-hard fans.

SUMMARY:Singular Artists Presents TopHouse

SUMMARY:Bec O'Malley
DESCRIPTION:In 2024\, Bec O’Malley went on a hike in the Peak District with his friends. He’d taken his acoustic guitar with him and decided to film a quick video of him covering Dylan Gossett’s ‘Coal’ while out on the misty paths. In the short clip\, the young musician forgets the words a few lines in\, but there was something about it that connected with those who saw it on their algorithm. Perhaps it was the unpolished charm of the video – mistake left in\, cut off before he could try again – or his resonant vocals that hit in even just a few seconds\, or a combination of the two. The likes quickly poured in\, more so than for any other video he’d posted on TikTok before\, igniting interest in this unknown talent. \nO’Malley’s name may have been undiscovered when that video was posted\, but by that point\, he’d already been playing music and writing his own songs for years. Growing up in Stockport\, he first picked up a guitar aged 12\, learning the basics from his cousin and fleshing out the rest from YouTube tutorials. A few years later\, his interest turned from simply playing others’ creations to working on his own\, first in bands with school friends\, and then on his own. Along the way\, his sound evolved\, pulling in new influences and building the foundations for the music he makes today. “I was doing the indie stuff for so long\, and I was just getting bored of it\,” he explains. “I started listening to more of the modern side of country – Zach Bryan\, Morgan Wallen\, those guys – and it just revamped it in my head.” \n  \nRather than jumping on the bandwagon of the surging popularity of country music in the UK\, the genre is something that’s always been around O’Malley. He comes from an Irish family where music was always playing around the house and at family gatherings\, and “they’d always play all the country music – a bit of American country\, Irish country”. \nThe 23-year-old’s material\, though\, is a balance – one that draws from a world of Nashville skylines and pick-up trucks\, but also from his lived experience in the UK. Instead of parodying the language and topics of his American counterparts\, he puts his reality front and centre\, writing about things he and the people around him have seen or been through. “You don’t see many trucks around here\,” he laughs. “It just wouldn’t feel right to [copy US country] – it’d feel like role play.” It’s an approach he sees as having a unique allure to it: “No one in the States is going to sing it from a perspective that I’d sing it from.” \nSonically\, too\, he merges two disparate parts – country and indie – and\, rather than be seen as someone predominantly in one lane\, he wants to be known for his distinctive blend of them both. A love for The La’s\, Sam Fender and Oasis have fuelled the indie side of his writing\, with the latter band in particular having a huge impact on him – not just musically\, but in attitude and ambition\, too. The Gallaghers’ hometown of Burnage is just down the road from Stockport\, and their influence seeped into O’Malley’s surroundings early on. “You see Oasis and how big they got when they’re from just down the road\, and it’s like\, ‘If they can do it\, why can’t I?’” he reasons. \nWhile posting on social media\, O’Malley also built up his following and learned his craft the old-fashioned way\, too. During his university course in Liverpool\, he’d return to Manchester on weekends to play in the city’s Irish bars\, sometimes playing multiple sets in a day. Those venues proved the perfect performance classrooms as he battled rowdy crowds and learned how to get them on his side. “Sometimes you’ll get people who are quiet\, but then as the night goes on\, everyone gets a bit more pissed and scream and shout\,” he says. “We’ve learned how to deal with them – and have a night with them\, as well.” \nSince those days\, he’s been invited to play at Manchester’s Neighbourhood Festival\, support Weston Lonely and was scheduled to support Jeff Lynne’s ELO at their farewell show at BST Hyde Park\, until Lynne’s medical issues meant the gig had to be scrapped (more high profile bookings are set for 2026\, with appearances at State Fayre\, Kendall Calling\, Country Calling Festival and Highways’ Songwriters Round at Royal Albert Hall in the offing). By November 2025\, O’Malley had booked – and sold out – his first headline gig at Manchester’s famed Deaf Institute. These bookings would be impressive for any emerging artist\, but become even more so when you consider that they all came without O’Malley releasing a single song. \nFor a long time\, the rising artist’s tagline has been “singer with no songs out” – a slogan that gets more powerful when witnessed beneath ever-growing follower counts. Soon\, though\, that line will have to change – first\, following the release of his debut single\, ‘Let You Go’\, and later\, with the arrival of his first EP. “It’s the end of an era – although I might just change it to ‘singer with one song’. When the Grammy comes\, I’ll just say ‘singer with a Grammy’\,” he quips. \nAlthough only just officially released\, ‘Let You Go’ has already had a big impact on O’Malley’s journey. The first video he posted online of him playing the track was the first clip of original material to really take off\, racking up over 900\,000 views. Every day since\, users have asked him when he’s releasing it. \nAs a first single\, it captures the heart of O’Malley’s songwriting – inventive storytelling that’s woven into a sound that feels both familiar and fresh\, all delivered in his gravelly northern drawl. “I’d be crazy to ever let you go\,” he sings\, a line that’s spurred fans on to use the track in wedding videos. In reality\, the track takes on the perspective of a stalker\, detailing their thoughts as they watch from afar. \n‘Let You Go’ highlights the storytelling that sits at the core of O’Malley’s engaging lyricism\, something he grew into on a writing trip to Nashville. “When I was first writing songs\, I was all about melody\,” he explains. “Getting more involved in the country scene makes you think about words more\, and I spent a bit of time out in Nashville\, and they’re all so clever with lyrics and how the story flows from start to finish. It made me love the story side of it.” \n‘Two People Talking’\, a stomping earworm rich in detail\, picks up on another angle of that way of writing – rather than putting the musician in someone else’s shoes\, it twists his personal experiences into a tale shot through with wise takeaways. “Hearts get broke when hopes get higher\,” he warns at one point. “It’s saying\, ‘Don’t get your hopes up too high because it’s not happened yet’\,” O’Malley says. The mellower ‘See It From Here’\, meanwhile\, paints a picture of romantic sunsets and peaceful road trips. \nAs O’Malley properly kickstarts his path and becomes a singer with some songs out\, he’s keen to maintain the balance he’s already found: “I love the stripped back side of music where it can just be a fiddle\, guitar and some vocals\, but then I love the poppy side of things too\, so it’s about finding a good middle ground. I don’t know where it’s gonna go\, but it’s about putting out the songs that feel the most me and seeing what happens.” One thing that is certain\, though\, is that he’s driving forward with an unlimited sense of ambition. “The goal is to be the biggest artist\,” he says confidently. “I just want to play big shows.” With songs as strong as the ones in his arsenal\, reaching the big heights seems inevitable.

SUMMARY:Sarah Julia
DESCRIPTION:Sarah Julia’s music is an exercise in tenderness\, bound by sisterhood and defined by a haunting\, piercing vulnerability. Their deeply introspective brand of indie folk is forged from a shared childhood: the product of overlapping memories and a communal formative soundtrack that presents itself in the pure vocals that cradle each other in harmony as they delicately address love\, heartache and family. \nFrom a young age\, they developed a shared love of music – trading album recommendations for the likes of Bon Iver and Ben Howard to expand on the Cat Stevens and Jim Croce their parents raised them on – before they individually began dabbling in making music themselves. \nBut it wasn’t until a significant change in their family occurred that they began intertwining those efforts\, seeking a shared catharsis in songwriting. \nWhat emerged was their debut EP How Do We Go Back To Being Normal? – an audible snapshot of a period of their lives enveloped in grief and change. Interwoven with confessional\, diaristic lyricism and elegiac harmonies\, their mystical take on folk quickly garnered them a cult following. \nHow Do We Go Back To Being Normal?’s follow-up Only Making It Worse\, released in 2025\, builds on these golden foundations. Somehow richer and more devastating than its predecessor\, their second EP sees them delve into a slightly poppier soundscape while affirming their entry into a canon of female singer-storytellers spinning gold from the ordinary fabric of everyday life\, recalling elements of Phoebe Bridgers\, Adrienne Lenker and Joni Mitchell.

SUMMARY:Cardinals
DESCRIPTION:Live from The Button Factory || Fri\, 20 November ’26 \nCardinals\, the five-piece hailing from Kinsale\, have been crowned “the next great guitar band to emerge from Ireland” by Rolling Stone UK and have also won high praise from NME and Stereogum. \nAfter selling out their Spring Tour to celebrate the release of Masquerade\, the band are back touring this winter\, taking it up a notch with bigger shows and bigger production. \nIt’s clear that Masquerade marks a new era for Cardinals. The making of the album has revealed something new of themselves\, opening them up as a more collaborative entity – as evidenced by closing track As I Breathe\, written just one week before they entered the studio. While much of the record’s lyrical content deals with the trials and complexities of navigating life\, the album ends on a tentatively hopeful note with the striking line “Even as we fall / I have learned the world is small / And I proceed.”

SUMMARY:Jamie McIntyre
DESCRIPTION:Jamie McIntyre started playing in pubs\, always with his eye on one day performing his own songs to people. \nIn 2024\, the singer was selected by Gavin James to join him as support in Paris on his European tour as part of Three’s City Stages initiative which also led to him working with Imelda May and performing at Electric Picnic\, followed by performances with Liverpool songwriter Jamie Webster on his sold out shows at 3Olympia in Dublin and The Telegraph Building in Belfast. \nThat summer\, he wrote an ode to his home county “Over Galway Town” which became a viral sensation with over 6.5 million streams and brought his music to far flung places across the globe. \nThis was followed by EP’s “Chapter 23” and “For Folk Sake” featuring fan favourite songs “West is Home” and “Gra” as well as “Melbourne” and “Outside The City” – all written from deeply personal experiences tied back to his love for Ireland in some way or another. \nA sold out debut run of shows across Ireland and the UK rounded off 2025 and this year has followed that trajectory with the release of new single “17 Again” and a UK & Ireland tour with U.S. indie folk band\, the 502s leading in to his own sold out Irish tour firmly putting Jamie McIntyre on the map as one to watch in 2026.

DESCRIPTION:Meet lavender\, a winsome London-based duo consisting of Oskar Rice and Adam Jackson. You can hear the confluence of their weirdly disconnected musical worlds merge on these songs. \nTheir influences\, which range from American Football to Burial\, Steve Reich to J Dilla\, are mixed up in a minestrone of sounds. The songs\, with these vivid textural patterns\, gossamer-thin layers of audio competing and commingling to create these magical\, melody-rich results. Big fans of sampling\, it’s hard to pinpoint exactly where they begin and Adam’s voice or Oskar’s beats end. And that’s how they like it. Multiple plays reward the listener as the music unravels and gradually reveals its secrets.

SUMMARY:Waylon Wyatt
DESCRIPTION:Waylon Wyatt is a 19-year-old folk-country artist from Hackett\, Arkansas\, known for his raw\, red-dirt take on Americana. He began writing songs as a kid\, often after long days working construction with his father. Waylon recorded and produced his debut EP Til The Sun Goes Down in the rec room of his childhood home. The EP has amassed over 225 million streams and two of its standout tracks “Arkansas Diamond” and “Jailbreak” have earned RIAA Gold certifications. \nDrawing inspiration from modern trailblazers like Tyler Childers and Zach Bryan\, Waylon has cemented his place as a “rising country star to know” (GRAMMY.com) and was named one of VEVO’s 2026 DSCVR Artists to Watch. He has played sold-out stages worldwide\, headlining major U.S. venues and delivering standout performances at Stagecoach\, Cavendish Beach Music Festival\, and FairWell Festival\, as well as joining Zach Bryan at London’s Hyde Park. Waylon continues his global momentum with appearances at C2C Festival across Europe\, CMC Rocks in Australia\, select North American dates supporting Sam Barber\, and major festivals including Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo. Waylon’s highly anticipated debut album Dustpiles will arrive in July alongside an accompanying headline world tour. \nWaylon says of the tour: “The Dustpiles World Tour is the biggest and best one for me yet!! Gonna be traveling far and wide across this giant moving sphere. So much is in store for the Dustpiles Tour!!” Dustpiles is a deeply personal collection of songs exploring love and loss\, revealing Waylon at his most introspective and vulnerable. Widely recognized for his acclaimed songwriting\, the project also marks a creative turning point for the artist. For the first time\, Waylon steps outside his comfort zone to collaborate with a diverse group of songwriters and producers\, including Carter Faith\, Joe Becker (Sam Barber)\, Tofer Brown (Tim McGraw\, Old Dominion)\, and Anderson East (Miranda Lambert\, The Red Clay Strays\, Ty Myers) to name a few. \nWaylon shared the project’s latest single “But There Was a Time .” Built around slide guitar\, dark acoustic textures\, and Waylon’s raw vocal delivery\, the track explores the feeling of reconnecting with someone who once meant everything to you\, only to realize the relationship may not have carried the same weight for them. LISTEN HERE

SUMMARY:McGrath
DESCRIPTION:Following the striking introduction of debut single “Rotha”\, McGrath continues to establish himself as one of Ireland’s most distinctive emerging voices\, pairing vivid storytelling with sharp wit\, emotional honesty\, and a singular vocal presence. \nOriginally from Donegal and now based in Belfast\, McGrath was first discovered performing in a local pub\, where his commanding voice and sharply observed songwriting quickly turned heads. \nSinging songs about drinking stout with his father\, the arrival of the horsemen of the apocalypse\, and the endless turns of “Rotha Mór an tSaoil” (‘The Great Wheel of Life’)\, McGrath balances humour\, melancholy\, and poetic insight in equal measure. \nHis voice and sharp-witted lyricism caught the attention of George Ezra\, who invited him to open for him in 2025\, while a coveted slot at Dublin’s renowned Ruby Sessions further cemented his reputation as a compelling live performer. With festival appearances across Paris\, Manchester and London\, and more new music planned throughout 2026\, McGrath is steadily building momentum as one of Ireland’s most intriguing new songwriting voices. \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Dylan John Thomas
DESCRIPTION:Forty million streams and 60\,000 tickets can’t be wrong. The numbers don’t lie\, and nor do the tunes – impassioned songs of love and regret\, faith and fatalism\, rejection and connection\, realism and idealism. \nAfter selling out six nights at the Barrowlands\, Dylan John Thomas is Scotland’s worst kept musical secret. From pavement to arena\, the DIY artist who did it all for himself\, all the way to a sell-out homecoming show at Glasgow’s 14\,300-capacity Ovo Hydro. A self-taught\, multi-instrumentalist\, mainlining the old-time rhythm of Johnny Cash (“boom-chicka-boom…”)\, the high-picking melodies of Simon & Garfunkel\, the lyrical poeticism of Leonard Cohen – but all retooled with a twentysomething’s freshness\, rigour and vigour\, and the ardent fandom to match. Boom-chicka-BOOM. \nHis second album\, Nothing Here Worth Taking\, was recorded at Magic Box studios over the past year with Scotty Anderson (The Snuts). Entirely written by Dylan\, with most of the instruments self-played too\, the 10-track set is a rousing\, carousing blast of brass\, blues\, banjo\, piano and classic\, retro-futureproof\, singalong songwriting. \nThat spirit is there in vivid form on lead single ‘Got You on My Mind’. The first song completed for the album\, it’s a banjo-and brass-driven anthem. “I got into banjo two years ago\, just after the first album came out\,” Dylan explains. “We went on a wee trip round Scotland\, and I took it with us. We were just kicking around\, playing all the old folk songs. And by the time it came to recording this album\, I’d written a couple of songs on it.”
