Solo alias of Melbourne based multi-instrumentalist Sam Jones, previously found playing with Flying Saucer Attack, Minotaur Shock, Crescent and Third Eye Foundation. A brilliant mix of electronic and acoustic textures, plaintive vocals and eccentric British humour, The Balky Mule has garnered comparisons to people like Hood, Pram, Syd Barrett and FatCat labelmates Songs of Green Pheasant.
The debut album by St. Gregory Orange is out now for the very reasonable sum of £5. We could tell you it's amazing (because it is) but look at what other people have said about it:
'We could do with more individualists like St Gregory Orange.' 8/10 This Is Fake DIY
'A unique sort of mad-professor' Sheffield Music
'A 20 something Adrian Mole doing Four Tet' 4/5 The Beat Surrender
'A slow motion dream' 3.5/5 Manchester Music
So go on take a chance and if you like tell your friends
thanks for adding guys. love your stuff, made me happy; which i didn't think anything coming out of wakefield could anymore. but i think that was because of snooty fox lol.

Charlie Parr is from the same Duluth music scene that spawned the likes of Low and Haley Bonar, and his music delves deep into the back roads of American folk music, there’s hints of Robert Johnson, Nick Drake and Will Oldham in his playing, and a true from the heart power and clarity that is simply stunning. This guy is the real thing, and you can hear it in every note he plays, which would also explain why the people at the superb End of the Road festival ask him back every single year!
Neil McSweeney plays beautifully considered and perfectly restrained music that will delight fans of Low, Adrian Crowley, Nina Nastasia, Mark Kozelek, and Jason Molina.
Deftly fingerpicked folk loveliness from a local favourite - Michael Rossiter perfectly executes traditional folk as well as his own material, sings from his heart and gets the perfect sound from his guitar.
Yep, pretty much looks like I'll have to miss the single launch Jamie, playing in Sheffield myself, but good luck! Enjoy spam

GREAT ESKIMO HOAX Somewhere between the spasmodic mathpop of Youthmovies & the synth-drenched quirkiness of Cats in Paris lie West Midlands trio Great Eskimo Hoax, with vocals at once melodic & shouty cutting through carefully textured guitars, keys and insistent drum pulses.
MINNAARS Intense, danceable, epic: that Forward Russia's Tom Woodhead has been working as their producer gives an idea as to where they're coming from, but Minnaars add to that sound an incredible variety through the use of loops, unpredictable structures & duelling synth & guitar.
THE BLACKBIRD APPEAL Whispered vocals & thick, fuzzy guitars at the front; along with drums cranking the tempo up at the back, eking slices of pop out of a shoegazey-haze.
