"Well at least nobody could ever accuse us of releasing too much music!" quips Greg Carmichael on the release of their latest EP 'The Empire of Lights', "but I think our fans know by now that we?re a little obsessive about only releasing music when we have something ready that we really love." The four tracks on their latest release visit familiar themes for longtime fans, from the western shuffle of '8,000 Miles' to the reggae flavours of 'Alisio', the upbeat joy of 'Back to Back' to the laid back groove of 'Other People'. "We hope there?s something here for everyone," says Miles Gilderdale, "we're very lucky that over the years we've found fans that just get what we're doing, so we can wear our influences on our sleeves and not have to try and fit into any one style." With over 35 years of recording and touring, the band's longevity may be due in part to that spirit of never trying to fit in, but to just make music that they love.

Syncing Not Swimming present JAMES ADRIAN BROWN Plus special guests Keith Seatman + Secret Self Visuals by Kino Jult VJs Wednesday 5th November £10.00 in advance James Adrian Brown is the former lead guitarist of the alternative rock band Pulled Apart By Horses. After achieving chart success, touring the world, and releasing four critically acclaimed studio albums with PABH, James has begun paving a new path in instrumental electronic music and composition. Brown’s solo work is heavily electronica-based, utilising analogue synths alongside tape machines, piano, strings, and immersive ambient atmospherics. His focus lies in the analogue process of capturing and creating sound using physical hardware. He has received support from the likes of Gideon Coe on BBC 6 Music and Chris Hawkins, who championed him for creating “massive electronic soundscapes in a Mogwai kind of world.” James was also featured on BBC Radio 3’s Unclassified by host Elizabeth Alker. Taking inspiration from artists such as Boards of Canada, Rival Consoles and Thom Yorke, Brown is exploring, evolving, and pushing his songwriting into bold new sonic territories. His debut album is set to be released on the revered UK electronic label Castles In Space, marking a significant new chapter in his journey as a solo artist.

Sugaray Rayford is a man with a message and a larger-than-life voice to deliver it. In collaboration with producer and songwriter Eric Corne over the past three albums, the soul-blues powerhouse has developed a sound that blends classic soul melodies and funky R&B grooves with raw blues energy. Their first project together, Somebody Save Me, earned Rayford a 2020 Grammy nomination, followed by Blues Music Awards for Soul Blues Male Artist and B.B. King Entertainer of the Year. His follow-up, In Too Deep, garnered multiple honors, including the Blues Music Award for Soul Blues Album of the Year. Rayford's latest release, Human Decency, continues his focus on music with purpose. Its title track serves as a reminder that similarities outweigh differences, and that beyond divisions of race or politics, there are only hearts and minds.
