Lanu – Roosevelt Blues & Acoustic EP
Lance Ferguson, aka Lanu, will be releasing his third single, ‘Roosevelt Blues’ from his wonderful ‘Her 12 Faces‘ LP just before Christmas. The interesting thing about this release though are the four purely acoustic tracks which accompany the main song, all re-worked from the album and all featuring the vocals of Megan Washington.

Nostalgia 77 – Sleepwalker
Ben Lamdin’s live band, Nostalgia 77, released their ‘The Sleeping Walking Society’ LP earlier this year. We loved the album, and particularly the (kind of) title track ‘Sleepwalker’ (that features Josa Peit on vocals), which we’re pleased to report is being released as a single, along with a couple of remixes (by Lanu and Ambassadeurs) [...]

So, is ‘Her 12 Faces’ just a distracting side project or a solo tour-de-force? (Note to [...]
