There's something about Lisa Marini's voice that speaks directly to your soul. Her Tea, Toast & Jams release, Songs After Midnight, feels like it's already listened to your inner thoughts, reaching into even the coldest of hearts. These are songs to entwine with, to melt alongside and, for a little while, trust enough to become one with. ‘Veins of Dust’ is the track that hits hardest. Take a listen if you're curious. Though fair warning - curiosity may result in feelings you thought you’d buried deep.

Harvey Mason makes cool, slightly abstract electronic tracks that aren't quite dance and aren't quite chill out. Filled with little kinks and quirks - it feels uplifting yet melancholy at the same time. If you're "looking forward" to Christmas getting on with it and "out the way" - so you can look forward to some sunshine away from here ... we think Harvey's Tea, Toast & Jams release 'Halfway to Somewhere' might just do you the trick! Keep the faith!
