Suki Waterhouse 'Memoir Of A Sparklemuffin'
£31.99
The new album by Suki Waterhouse is a masterful slab of exuberant, emotionally vulnerable pop with hooks galore. It features her hit songs “OMG” (15 million plays on Spotify), “To Love” (15m plays), “My Fun” (5m plays in the first two months), plus 15 brand new songs.
Memoir of a Sparklemuffin comes on the heels of multiple hit songs: “Good Looking” hit #1 on the viral chart in 2023 and recently went platinum, and her songs have thrived on streaming and social-media platforms. Her 2024 touring built a rabid, young fan base who bought massive amounts of merch at every show.
Suki Waterhouse’s music sounds like a collage of her inspirations, experiences, and emotions stitched together by honeyed vocal delivery, bright-eyed melodies, and evocative storytelling. It doubles as a mirror image of her life as a consummate creative, artist, actress, model, and mother, yet it also breaks the glass to unveil raw truth.
She leans on an ever-evolving sonic palette to convey what she’s feeling—whether it be folky Americana, nineties alternative, turn-of-the-century indie, or handcrafted otherworldly pop. You’ll hear Suki’s longing in a swooning chorus, fearlessness in a crunchy chord, elation in a danceable waltz, and wonder in a soft coo befitting of a lullaby. She faithfully followed a lifelong passion for music to her 2022 full-length debut, I Can’t Let Go.
Adorned by “Moves” and “Melrose Meltdown,” it incited widespread critical applause from Variety, Nylon, NME, The Line of Best Fit, and more. Between headlining shows and touring with Father John Misty, “Good Looking” surged online, generating nearly a billion streams, going RIAA platinum, and paving the way for the Milk Teeth EP.
Simultaneously, she absorbed inspiration from a season of change earmarked by unforgettable moments a la gracing the stage of Lollapalooza 2023, performing on multiple continents, becoming a mom, and closing out the Gobi Tent at Coachella in 2024. Everything just set the stage for the gold-certified songstress to assert herself as a versatile, vibrant, and vital presence on her 2024 double-LP, Memoir of a Sparklemuffin.

En Esch's corrosive new album decimates both standards and dance floors alike. Anyone familiar with industrial luminary En Esch and his essential work in groups like KMFDM and PIG knows he is no stranger to political statements through his art. Now, on his first LP in eight years, Dance Hall Putsch, Esch decimates your standards and dance floors with vitriol.
With carefully-sown and complimenting features from fellow KMFDM alumnus Raymond Watts, Guenter Schulz and Mark Durante, plus Vas Kallas (Hanzel und Gretyl), Mea Fisher and Erica Dilanjian (Lords of Acid), Hope Nicholls (Pigface) and more, Dance Hall Putsch delivers everything an industrial fan could want.
From opener "Get Lost," with its categorically punishing industrial-metal riffs to the slicing EBM electronics of "Yum Yum Beauty & The Nasty Thief," it's all here and in no less than four languages throughout.
En Esch's signature rasp is often contrasted by the sparkling vocals of his female counterparts, and the album is lush with brutal honesty, humor, and even a bonus En Esch-lullaby. "I began work on Dance Hall Putsch in the early days of Covid-19. I was trying to create an upbeat, rather positive and very danceable album to leave the pandemic days behind us. Then it happened that a war began near where I live with tens of thousands of civilians killed and wounded so far.
Everyone was caught by surprise and it influenced me, especially lyrically. "This current conflict is just 500 miles away from Berlin, and while that does not make it more horrific than other wars, it is very close to home. From living with this 'war next door,' the album turned out much more sinister than originally planned.
It became a rather political album that reflects on the senselessness and nastiness of all the current wars around us. It's always the innocent and those who hold no power that suffer the most.
Their fate isn't always death, but many times indescribable and long-term suffering. We must not forget them or turn a blind eye. "I’m very pleased that I had the opportunity to collaborate with different and interesting colleagues here.
Thanx everybody for your interest in my musical works and for your love and support." -En Esch

Comprising the Brothers Kinnon (Chris on vocals and guitar; Jeff on drums), riff-master Sean Casey (guitar), and classically educated bass player Enzo Figliuzzi, the Canadian/California-based band has played with everybody from the Dirtbombs to the Kings of Leon, making SXSW best-of lists numerous times, and hanging out with Andrew Loog Oldham.
Lions in the Street began their career by signing and then walking away from the troubled TVT Records (NIN, Pitbull, Little Jon) and Nickelback’s 604 Records (Carly Rae Jepson), getting blacklisted.
After years in the wilderness—working as a garbageman, surviving cancer and serious workplace injuries—they are back rocking with next album produced by Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, Greta Van Fleet, Brandi Carlile, Rival Sons). Yet, despite experiencing the best and worst of the of old music business—from hanging out with Todd Rundgren, Bob Ezrin, and R.E.M.’s Peter Buck, to seeing an A&R guy almost fired just for going to see them play—the band somehow kept going, releasing music piecemeal.
For example, Lions in the Street released an EP in 2013 on British legend Sandy Roberton's label. Roberton ran Blue Horizon, the English label that launched the 60s British Blues rock movement with John Mayall, Fleetwood Mac, and Rory Gallagher.
Now the streaming platforms revolution has given Lions in the Street a new life an audience, allowing them to release largely-unheard music—finally finished and remixed/remastered.
Lions in the Street began their career by signing and then walking away from the troubled TVT Records (NIN, Pitbull, Little Jon), Nickelback’s 604 Records (Carly Rae Jepson), and legendary manager Allen Kovac (Motley Crue, The Cars, Blondie, The Bee Gees), earning them a spot on the music industry’s blacklist.
Years in the wilderness resulted—working as a garbageman for almost a decade, surviving cancer, serious workplace injuries, and almost deadly car accidents, and going back to school. "This is rock with a direct line back to the nasty blues, jump tunes, and country boogie that birthed the whole damn genre.
Untamed, direct, and bristling with hairy masculinity, Lions in the Street play rock like the cause it is…that is when you do it right." – Jambase - LITS’ upcoming album Moving Along captures their trademark swing and swagger.
The title track, mixed by Rick Parker (Beck, BRMC, Scott Weiland), is a menacing, harmonica-driven vamp "worthy of Mick and Keith at their sticky-fingered best" (Jambase.com). “Moving Along” is also the lead track in the upcoming Paramount film “Cassino In Ischia”, starring Prison Break’s Dominic Purcell.
Never to rest on their laurels, Lions in the Street are also putting the finishing touches on a live album and a record they made with multi-Grammy-Award winning producer Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, Greta Van Fleet, Brandi Carlile, Rival Sons).Tracklisting:

Two Times UK Blues Award winner Mississippi MacDonald presents his third album on APM Records. ‘I Got What You Need’ is a statement from a troubadour coming into town bearing songs of soul searching, of spiritual uplift, and of tunes to groove to. Equipped with a powerful voice and stinging guitar Mississippi MacDonald lays down his marker.
MacDonald continues to be an excellent interpreter of southern soul and two more songs from the stable of Memphis studio and publishing house Ecko in Hard Luck and Trouble and the title track prove this. So too the band’s take on the R&B classic We’re Gonna Make It which in MacDonald’s hands really swings. Sinking is an epic ballad in which to lose yourself completely. The gravelly gospel tones on If I Could Only Hear My Mother Pray Again and the imploring emotion on Your Dreams have MacDonald stretching out vocally. Two self-penned instrumentals pay tribute to the greats; 3.35AM, to one of MacDonald’s prime influences Freddie King, and Soul City One to the in-house studio sound of Stax.The album is rich in variety, vibe and soulful energy. It’s MacDonald’s Blues and a whole lot more. As guest artist with the Take Me To The River All Stars in 2024 featuring the legendary Hi Rhythm, MacDonald performed on stage at Red Rooster and was filmed in session with Eric Gales and Jools Holland.
MacDonald and band will perform at the UK Blues Challenge on October 8th and he will be a special guest of Visit Mississippi in Liverpool in October when they unveil the first ever Blues Trail Marker outside The Cavern Club alongside Clarksdale veteran Super Chikan.
MacDonald speaks quietly but makes music with real gravitas. He is a rising star since winning Traditional Blues Artist Of The Year and Acoustic Act of the Year at the 2024 UK Blues Awards.
“Mississippi MacDonald represents the next generation of great guitarists who hail from the UK….wholly authentic, he’s earned the right to claim the name”
