A sense of rootedness is at the heart of Anna B Savage’s third record You and i are Earth, a record that is as much about healing as it is an unbowed sense of curiosity, and, more simply, “a love letter to a man and to Ireland.” Following on from her critically acclaimed records A Common Turn and in|FLUX, You and i are Earth manages to convey a sense of intimacy, while also being open-ended. Sounds of the sea and bright-eyed strings coax us on opening song Talk to Me, a study in tenderness, which brings us to a place of the elemental. It is a charged signifier that sets the tone, “I don’t think I feel nervous because of the intimacy of it,” says Savage, “the thing I feel nervous about is that it is so delicate and subtle, and the attention economy has made us desire big shiny things that will whisk us away.”

Daudi Matsiko's debut album 'The King of Misery' is a hauntingly beautiful exploration of depression, bipolar disorder, and finding hope in that experience. “Absolutely glorious” - Lauren Laverne / BBC 6 Music “Rarely do you find and hear people like him, there are no other Daudi’s that I know” - Gilles Peterson / BBC 6 Music
