Johnny and Lillie Flynn have announced “Beam Cottage,” their first collaborative album, due 6th November via Transgressive Records. Produced by Charlie Andrew, it features new songs, covers of childhood favourites as well as reworkings from Johnny’s catalogue. Listen to “The Ghost of O’Donahue”, a song written in Ireland almost 20 years ago but now cast in a meaningful new light.

Tiarn is a gorgeous sophomore record by Australian ambient-folk producer, composer and multi-instrumentalist Hana Stretton. Like its predecessor, it comes alive off the record, a living and breathing tapestry of sound. Where Soon found its focus on the Australian bush, this latest project casts its gaze on the endless shores of the Pacific Ocean, where Stretton’s boundless textural explorations reflect a world suspended in blue. 

Mama’s Broke’s Amy Lou Keeler and Lisa Maria discuss “Reunion,” their latest album, one of stark emotion and stunning but subtle playing. Born from Nova Scotian roots, Appalachian tradition and Eastern European influences, their deliciously dark folk resists easy labels. The pair talk origins, co-writing, folk as political expression, and the collective feeling that keeps their collaboration fresh after a decade on the road.

Rowena Wise’s “Bad Things Feel Good*” expands on her impressive debut with quiet sincerity and intimacy as calling cards. She moves between swooping maximalism and spine-tingling closeness, juggling contradictory elements. The mess has been transmuted into something beautiful, with a skillfully directed emotional sting—the bigger picture without losing sight of small details—the perfect soundtrack to contemporary emotional life.
