Mustafa leads the playlist this week along with new tracks from Potter Payper, The Lemon Twigs and more...
Mustafa
Air Forces (Regent Park Songs)
Toronto storyteller Mustafa sets his folk-style poetry to undulating productions, bringing the city’s darker side to life. Air Forces revolves around a Sudanese tribal chant, and tells a compelling story.

BB Sway
I Found Out When The Day Had Come (Sexy Lizard Records)
BB Sway’s music exists in a dream state, bedroom pop on a sedative drip. This new single arrives in time to wring out the last drops of summertime.

Red Moon
Dreamer (Decca)
New on Decca, Red Moon appears intent on redefining the word ‘epic’. This blustery intro to her upcoming EP feels like it’s been piped in from a fairytale far, far away.

AG Cook
Beautiful Superstar (PC Music)
Staff at a certain tech giant presumably love that AG Cook named his new LP Apple, but the PC Music supremo’s euphoric electronica isn’t just for Silicon Valley. This is a gem.

Golden Rope (Speedy Wunderground)
