The soundtrack of the last month of the summer was quite a tedious process as we had to go through a lot of releases to select our top 15 favourite ones. It might have just been the long and very hot UK summer but most of the new music we listened to almost seemed not interesting enough. That’s why the releases we finally picked, are all very very special.

When reality brings Tom Waits out of his lair, then it is certain that things are not at all quiet in the world. And if his surfacing wasn’t enough, his collaboration with Massive Attack was the cherry on top of this month’s soundtrack. ‘Boots on The Ground‘ the new single that Tom Waits and Massive Attack have released, was inspired by the discontent towards the killings by ICE agents in the US.
In other news, this monthly playlist has two beautiful debut albums by Haunted House and Theo Vandenhoff. Atmospheric downtempo, and witch house elements dominate the sound of ‘Haunted Houses’ and are complemented by ethereal vocals. The band has said about this release: “It is not just an album, but an act of listening to what remains when humans leave.” Melancholic synth melodies, theatrical vocals and bass riffs that hark back to the heyday of 1980s’ Belgian post-punk, characterise the sound of ‘Saviour of the Spilled Blood’ by Theo Vandenhoff.
Last but not least, SUNN O)))‘s return with a new album after seven years dispels any doubt about the significance of this moment in time. Needless to stress the fact that this album will disturb the space/time continuum while you are listening to it so just let your minds travel to places in the meantime.
We hope you enjoy this playlist as much as we did while preparing it!

The sound of the beginning of 2026 is one that feels at odds with the global energy of shock and terror that is unveiling. Whether through landscape-inspired soundscapes or driven by an excitement for sonic experimentation that sees no boundaries, the bands that make up the soundtrack of this month are definitely worth your attention. A special mention is due to Backengrillen for releasing one of the bravest albums we will probably hear this year. Merging punk with free jazz, this band does not see any boundaries between genres; instead, it breaks and blends them to create a new sound in the spirit of the punk bands of the 80s.
We also welcomed the release of the new album by Bragolin, a post-punk band loved around the world. Building on the success of their signature sound, the band has offered another dancefloor pleaser album, and we can’t wait to listen to it live at some point. Finally, we really enjoyed the new album by Blackwater Holylight, which is full of psychedelic rock magic!
We hope you enjoy this playlist as much as we did making it, and no matter what you do, do not buy into the global hysteria of terror that is being spread!
