RELEASES
Scrimshire will release new album ‘Paroxysm’ on 26 May. Out now is new single ‘Unforgotten, Unforgiven’, of which he says: “This is dedicated to the politicians who have forced refugees into life-threatening decisions. Pushing people into the hands of traffickers, into small boats and too many beneath the waves of our seas. Who force the lives of men, women and children into more danger, in the hope of escaping war, poverty and persecution only to meet more cruelty and persecution. It won’t be forgotten and it won’t be forgiven”.
Jain has announced that she will release her second album ‘The Fool’ on 21 Apr. Here’s the title track.
Psykhi has released new single ‘Dry’.
