Covered Court
Spill Gold
The Amsterdam based duo conjures up vivid, spiralling stories with their eerie, persistent songs; from the frenetic steel drum solo on ‘Mercury’, the relentless, post-punk urgency of instrumental ‘Sevens March’ to the snake-charming synths and haunting vocals on ‘Sirens’, Spill Gold urge you to lose yourself in dreams and pour out the best you’ve got, streaming and unrestrained. Let it out and get drenched bathing in it.

Say Sue Me
“Vibrant and catchy instrumentation” – Pitchfork
“…jangly indie-pop, handclap-rich girl-group classics and the lightly rumbling sounds of early surf-rock. At once stylish and timeless…” – NPR

Mich Cota
The language of sound has always been in- grained in Mich Cota’s identity. As a two-spirit woman, raised by a native father and a white mother in Southern Ontario, Cota began composing small melodies on the piano from the age of three to create her own sacred space in an intensely religious home. Inspired by her countryside surroundings, she would ingrain herself in nature, imagining herself in a place free of theology and restraint.
NOVA TWINS
“No matter what mood you are in, every single track is a banger and in this neo-feminist age of unapologetic dominance, Amy Love and Georgia South ask all the questions and have all the answers” – AFROPUNK
“Nova Twins are all about that bass: the lurching, griding, seismically distorted, FX-mangled sound that propels the music of this young London duo….” – The Guardian
