about

Independent Music Sampler #156

Aldora Britain Records proudly presents Up To The Minute, an eclectic collection of 25 independent and underground artists from all around the globe. This release's title comes from a recent book about the legendary Bessie Smith. The collection is dedicated to the memory of Lester Sterling of The Skatalites.

This week, we welcome back a number of familiar faces. Capital Sons serve up their classic rock-powerpop crossover, This Circus Life bring the melodic indie folk pop, and John O'Sullivan gives us some baroque orchestral folk rock. There is singer-songwriter country blues from Linda Sussman, lo-fi alternative Celtic folk from Andrew Ferguson and Bethesda Boulevard, and rumbling surf rock adventures from El Borko. We have the flowing big bang jazz of the Mace Francis New York Nonet, the rhythmic avant synthpop of Milito (who also contributes the cover artwork), and the modern alternative bluesy strut of Ged Wilson.

Suburban Toys return with their energetic indie ska punk, Nasoni Records introduce us to Ghosts Of Jupiter's colourful neo-psychedelic rock, and H27 deliver their heavy classic hard rock. Joel David Weir closes this compilation with a retelling of a traditional Scottish tune. As always, please download, listen loud, dig deeper with your discoveries, and support Aldora Britain Records and independent music.
