Or Sobre Blau

Or Sobre Blau is the duo of Andreu G. Serra (aka Ubaldo) and Kiran Leonard. Their new record, "Making Friends" (STROOM, 2026), is a huge leap forward in ambition and focus, darting between misshapen free blues, chamber folk, blasted-out drone feedback, and whatever the two can throw at each other or find lying in between, "Making Friends" is a reflection on a decade of friendship, and a vivid document of an eclectic, sometimes chaotic, and inspired musical dialogue.

Rowan & Friends

Rowan and Friends began on the 30th of March 2022 when Rowan Evans started his monthly residency at the Golden Ball Pub in York.

Since then, many different musicians have played with him and he has played with many different musicians, but his core principle stays the same: “I write songs and sing them with my friends”.

Popstar, Superstar

Popstar, Superstar is a new project co-founded by Reuben Pugh of Troutflies and Islay Wolstenholme of LULA. The driving force behind the band is a love of lo-fi, analogue music, Bringing together Pugh’s signature eerie, matter of fact lyricism and LULA’s emotive storytelling and Americana Influences. The Band hopes to release their debut EP in late 2026.

Fakie & Friends

“Piano was my first instrument, I remember I had some kind of charity shop small scale keyboard with the digital bossa groove. I feel like I owe all of what I play now to that little keyboard.”
