Bristol indie-folk songwriter Myer U Clark announces new album Tinderbox, due 26th June via Broadside Hacks Recordings, and shares new single and video Healers today. Produced by Jack Ogborne at The Crypt, it’s a whimsical love song built on wiry guitar and Clark’s self-styled “musical jank” — shambling, carefree and recalling The Go-Betweens and Aztec Camera.

With its cast of crows and references to wild rain and leaden skies, Natalie Wildgoose’s ‘Rural Hours’ is music for the high moorlands and windswept hills. The loose structures and unorthodox arrangements of her songs remain, but they are brought into focus by a small ensemble. Her songs are intentionally ephemeral — part of their appeal is the charged silence they leave in their wake.
