MEMORIALS (London UK, Fire) channel the spirit of free jazz to create cosmic journeys into psychedelic rock, far out folk and wild analogue electronics, drawing comparisons to Broadcast, Portishead and The Velvet Underground.

The duo of Verity Susman (Electrelane) and Matthew Simms (Wire, It Hugs Back) formed in 2022 just before the release of their film score work, with two soundtrack albums released on the same day in 2023 - Music For Film: Tramps! and Music For Film: Women Against The Bomb. Their music is incredibly varied yet retains its own distinctive identity and is produced entirely by the two in their own studio, utilising analogue recording techniques, reel-to-reel tape machines and vintage effects. Continued offers to perform live around the world have allowed the band to discover a new creative focus outside of working to film and 2024 has seen them sign to Fire Records to release their much-anticipated debut album.

HENRY LEE (Köln) heißt die Band der Kölner Künstlerin Elisa Henriette Metz, die Instrumente aus Glas baut und alle Songs grundsätzlich auf dem Bass schreibt. In Zusammenarbeit mit dem Berliner Produzenten Jakob Lebsanft sind zwei Studioalben entstanden: 2022 erschien Henry Lees Debutalbum „TV in the Corner“ auf dem eigenen Indie-Label tétégé records. Im Herbst 2024 folgt das zweite Album „Epiphanies“, das sich mit eleganter Vielschichtigkeit zwischen College-Rock-Träumereien und experimenteller Popmusik bewegt.
