Seeland - Under Abraham’s Mind (LoAF)
There’s always something to be said for a genuinely great, daring and different cover version. Whether it’s Sonic Youth’s take on Madonna or Serafina Steer covering Brian Eno, hearing a magnificent re-imagining of a familiar song can be a thrilling and surprisingly affecting experience.

Ursine Vulpine - Fenrir (Idle Hands)
The debut EP from Ursine Vulpine, otherwise known as 19 year old Freddie Lloyd, is both mature and beautiful. Encompassing a vast array of sounds and influences, all of the many instruments which from this scenic endeavor are expertly played by the man himself. Atmospheric to the last, each song portrays a miniature world in which everything has been expertly designed and cultivated. Put simply, its bloody marvellous, and addictive to boot!
