Shakey Graves
Americana
Across his career, Shakey Graves—a.k.a. the performance moniker of Austin, Texas-born Alejandro Rose-Garcia—has intentionally created thrilling musical adventures tailored to each fan: burning CDs and putting them in personalized decorated bags; building intricate scavenger hunts that send fans in search of unique tapes; and Bandcamp-exclusive releases.
"The fans and musicians that really resonate with me—and the inexplicable ways that I find things that I like—are usually entirely through randomness and chaos and accident," Rose-Garcia says. "I've always been on this quest to make people feel like my own music is a choose your own adventure."
In 2024 Rose-Garcia celebrated the ten year anniversary of his And The War Came album with a special 10 Year Anniversary Edition release featuring never before heard demos and b-sides from the recording process and inviting fans to enter the long-since abandoned Music House.
His story continues to unfold, but Shakey Graves Is Still A Gentleman From Texas.
The Man The Myth The Meatslab
Folk
The Man The Myth The Meatslab is a new project from Jamie Clarke.
Taking inspiration from Bon Iver, Japanese Breakfast, Alex G and a chance encounter with a physics professor called Gerald Womack, TMTMTM’s music is a soundtrack to life’s small but important moments.
His first release, 'Home Run', arrived in September 2024 on wave of demand from a growing TikTok audience. This was quickly followed by ‘The Chronicles of Gerald Womack’, his debut EP which was recorded in its entirety on a £20 Akai mic that he found on ebay several years earlier.
Now signed to NY-based label Mutual Friends, TMTMTM released his first single of 2025 ‘Infinite’ on 14th March with his latest single 'Crushed' arriving on 11th April.
