Jagwar Ma in June
Anticipation for Jagwar Ma’s debut record Howlin has reached fever pitch at EYOE HQ. The band have been responsible for two of our favourite songs in recent times with The Throw and Man I Need (Come Save Me is brilliant too) and the record should be one of the year’s best.

These New Puritans - Fragment Two
The trail to These New Puritans’ new album starts here with Fragment Two, a sombre, lilting tune big on prettiness and guile. For a bit of bonus reading take a glance at their interview with Pitchfork about that new record here:
