about

Independent Music Sampler #154

Aldora Britain Records proudly presents Dear Nicola..., an eclectic collection of 25 independent and underground artists from all around the globe. This release is dedicated to Nicola Black, a much loved member of the Aldora Britain Records Community who passed away recently. She was undoubtedly one of the very finest Scottish singer-songwriters of recent times and will be greatly missed. Thank you for the music, Nicola.

This week, The Other Hit return with a slice of 70s funk rock sound. We also welcome back the shuffling Americana country of Garrick Rawlings, the modern indie psychedelia of Andy Salter, and the quirky pop rock of Tenderhooks. Nasoni Records introduce us to The So-Called's rockabilly punk rock and Maestro Maya's cosmic space gaze, and M&O Music return with the expansive and atmospheric psychedelia of Edenya.

As always, please download, listen loud, dig deeper with your discoveries, and support Aldora Britain Records and independent music.

Tom @ Aldora Britain Records
