Amidst the Shades album review Ruby Hughes' captivating Dowland tribute is steeped in delicious melancholy

She's more vocally demonstrative than some, colouring each word individually: when in Dowland's Flow, My Tears she sings of fear, and grief, and pain, we're left in no doubt that these are three different but equally terrible emotions. And yet she, Nordberg and Brinkmann hold all this in balance, maintaining a persuasive sense of line and focus so that the expressivity registers not as indulgence but as communication.

KAVARI: PLAGUE MUSIC EP

KAVARI's music sears like a controlled fire, destroying the underbrush to make room for the new. That was literally true of the Glasgow-based producer's 2025 EP Only Pleasure in Flame, a collection of slash-and-burn field recordings that sucked the air right out of your ears. The Scottish sea air has produced a number of maverick electronic musicians- Rustie, SOPHIE, Hudson Mohawke, Proc Fiskal-and in recent years, KAVARI's prolific, sound design-forward work is arguing the case for her induction into the pantheon.

Tickets have become status symbols': from Harry Styles to Taylor Swift, why is live music bigger and more expensive than ever?

Selling out a venue such as London's O2 Arena used to be considered a high point of an artist's career. Now, selling out just one night there might seem a bit underwhelming. Raye and Olivia Dean will play six nights apiece at the 20,000-capacity hall this year; Dave is playing four, Ariana Grande is playing a whopping 10. Harry Styles, never one to be outdone, last month announced a staggering 30 dates at New York's Madison Square Garden,

Danny L Harle: Cerulean review an earnest homage to early 00s bangers or a poor imitation?

It is billed as Danny L Harle's debut album, which it definitely isn't his actual debut album, Harlecore, came out in 2021, although in at least one sense, Cerulean is markedly different from its predecessor. It's the weighty guestlist, featuring Clairo, Caroline Polachek, PinkPantheress, MNEK and more, a reflection of Harle's ascension into the major leagues of pop production: he's worked with Polachek before, as well as Florence + the Machine and Dua Lipa (who also features on Cerulean), among others.

Gaute Granli: Rosacea

"I just make stuff until it sounds right," said Norwegian experimental musician Gaute Granli in a 2021 interview, when asked about his creative intentions. His answer is both evasive-what would it mean, when crafting deliberately confrontational art, to release something you think sounds wrong?-and an accurate description of a practice shaped by enigmatic instincts. Granli's curious new album Rosacea has a nebulous atmosphere all its own.
