Artist of The Week is Domi Hawken

Our Artist of the Week is Domi Hawken.

Following her acclaimed debut EP ‘Sociable Pariah’, London’s dark-rock poet, Domi Hawken, unveils ‘The Moment I Need You The Most’, the first taste of her upcoming EP, ‘Water and The Wine’.

Unravelling like a psychological thriller, the track explores obsession, shifting between desperate longing and manic fixation. It was inspired by Leonard Cohen’s poetic introspection and Led Zeppelin’s raw energy.

The track’s production mirrors this descent, building from calm verses into frenzied crescendos, punctuated by gasps of silence. A self-directed VHS music video adds to the track’s unsettling, lo-fi aesthetic. “I wanted the music and video to reflect instability, drama – almost spiralling into madness,” she says.

With ‘Water and The Wine’ marking the first of two EPs in 2025, Hawken cements herself as a compelling force in London’s indie scene.

Artist of the Week is Bible Club

Our Artist of the Week is Bible Club.

Bristolian post-punk outfit Bible Club introduce their sophomore EP, Umbra, with its title track offering the first glimpse of the project. A bold evolution from their debut, Umbra blends post-rock, post-punk, and shoegaze into an intricate soundscape, delivering a politically charged critique of societal stagnation.

“Umbra captures the stark awareness of a world stuck in disarray”, the band states. Built on interwoven guitars shifting between stark asymmetry and powerful unity, the track conveys a sense of disillusionment with contemporary life.

Listen to ‘Umbra’ here:

Produced by Dom Mitchison, Umbra marks a creative turning point. “We focused on our songwriting and explored a more developed sound with a core concept”, the band explains. The studio process deepened their artistic identity, pushing them into more ambitious territory.

Since 2021, Bible Club has emerged as a leading voice in Bristol’s alternative scene, drawing influence from CAN, Electrelane, and Spacemen 3. Their intense live performances, shifting from contemplative to chaotic, have built them a strong following.

Artist of The Week is Isolated Youth

Our Artist of the Week is Isolated Youth.

As the release of their highly anticipated debut album ‘Miserere Mei’ draws closer, Isolated Youth offer a striking preview with the album’s bold title track. Under the mentorship and production guidance of The Horrors’ Faris Badwan, the gothic post-punk quartet continue their ascent with a sound that is both raw and atmospheric.

‘Miserere Mei‘ is a feverish collision of jagged guitars, driving basslines, and the icy, haunting vocals of Axel Mårdberg. Inspired by Nina Simone’s ‘Sinnerman’ and Arvo Pärt’s ‘Miserere’, the track translates these influences into a visceral soundscape, exploring themes of guilt, spirituality, and personal transformation.

Listen to ‘Miserere Mei’ here:

Isolated Youth channel their surroundings into haunting, danceable anthems, blending The Chameleons’ introspection with Siouxsie & The Banshees’ raw energy. Axel’s falsetto and William’s intricate guitar lines craft a sound both nostalgic and modern.

Under Faris Badwan’s mentorship, Isolated Youth’s ‘Miserere Mei’ fuses post-punk urgency with raw vulnerability. Co-producer Max Hayes (Primal Scream, Rolling Stones) hails it as “a real rock album”, distilling their electrifying live presence into the studio.

‘Miserere Mei‘ is out now on all streaming platforms, their album ‘Miserere Mei’ is set for release on April 4th.
