Jonny Nash

The music presented on this compilation, “Framed Space” consists of a selection of works from the first three years of Melody As Truth.

Jonny Nash presents his sixth solo album, a "personal folk" album that blurs discernible songs into ghostly, dream pop memories, coming across like Durutti Column, Brian Eno or Grouper.

Ekster is Dutch for magpie, and the Antwerp label has lived up to the name, scratching intriguing baubles out of the loam of the experimental underground. Active since 2013, the label has worked with some names you might recognise—TCF, DMX Krew, Ssaliva. There's a chance you encountered Ritmische Bezinning by cofounder Hiele, a suite of hyper-fresh electronica and one of last year's highlights. But Ekster's curatorial skill is best showcased on their EXO compilations, which feature a host of names—many of them unknown—and present a sly, fleet-footed vision of ambient music.

"Blind Sighted Faith" is the breakthrough debut from gifted British quintet The Dunwells. The up-and-coming band is one of the most exciting groups to emerge from England, quickly making waves for their impeccable harmonies, compelling passion and exquisite songwriting. Their sound is reminiscent of The Eagles and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Concord Records has announced a world-wide agreement with indie label Playing In Traffic to re-release this smash hit.

Angst and anarchy fuelled indie, and it soon rose from its underground beginnings, to find global success with the likes of the The Stone Roses’ ‘Fools Gold’ and Happy Mondays’ ‘Step On’. Indie reached dizzying heights during the ‘90s when Britpop took over the official UK charts - allowing Mancunian band, Oasis to rise to the fore with indie anthems such as ‘Supersonic’. The noughties were a time of renaissance, with the rise of transatlantic super-groups such as The Killers and The White Stripes, which paved the way for the noughties’ nu-wave of revolutionary indie bands such as Mumford and Sons, Kasabian, The 1975, The Libertines, Bastille and Razorlight.
