Brown Horse return with their third album Total Dive. Their strongest and most grounded work to date, it showcases a new level of skill and assurance in the Norwich, UK band’s thoughtful lyricism and musicality. Leaning away from the playfulness and eclecticism of their previous works, Total Dive sees Brown Horse step forward into the darkness with a cautious optimism. With songs from each of the four members (Patrick Turner, Nyle Holihan, Emma Tovell and Rowan Braham) the writing charts a world of small revelations and painful changes. As they move confidently between searing noise and delicate reflection, they take time to note the beauty and agony of the mundane; the death rattle of a vending machine, headlights flashing in the eyes of a road-killed fox, the heather-pink of a winter sky. The new album is the clearest expression yet of Brown Horse’s unique sound - somewhere between the stark country rock of Uncle Tupelo, the raw intimacy of early Cat Power, and the haunted landscapes of Magnolia Electric Co., while embracing the self-possessed noisiness of alt rock trailblazers like Built to Spill and The Breeders. Bolstered by the playing of Norwich drummer, Ben Rodwell, and the vocal harmonies of Leeds-based musician, Neve Cariad, Total Dive is the sound of a band coming fully into their own. These are songs inhabited by wide Norfolk skies, thousands of shared miles on the road, the noise of heartbreak and humour, and the echoing silence of long hours spent in strange in-between places.

with support from Glass Beagle
Everyone wants to hear more from Glass-Beagle. Their debut EP, Spring Sword Chatter, showcases their uniquely mangled mix of country, folk, power pop, and rock 'n' roll. One year later, they released their sophomore EP, Early Riser, which peaked at #48 on the NACC Top 200, and was included in Steven Hyden of Uproxx’s list of favorite releases of 2025. The Chicago-based alt-country outfit is led by songwriter and guitarist, Nathan Zurawski, and powered by Michael Conway on pedal steel guitar, Bayden Fraley on bass, Jack Tekiela on guitar and Joe Torres on drums. With a blend of fuzzed out guitars, singing pedal steel guitar and Zurawski’s abstract yet personal lyrics, the band roots their sound in something both nostalgic and innovative.
