New Bristol Music: 19–25 September 2026

Crystal Clear and Clearance team up for Sofa Sound Rollers’ two-track Clear The Air / Peace Sine. We have singled out ‘Clear The Air’: its crisp, pressure-filled drum and bass sound makes it an immediate way into the pairing, with another side waiting on the full release.

‘The Rain’ is one half of treetoad1000’s Gateway // The Rain pairing and our independent track pick from it. This recent discovery deserves a listen alongside the week’s new music; follow the link for both sides of the release.

Bristol trio Master of Go fit three sharply titled songs into Repent EP: ‘Who Will Be?’, ‘Middle Lane’ and ‘Doctors Are the Enemy’. We like the compact shape of this locally recorded rock release and will be following what the band does next.

Jimi Needles takes on ‘Back To Life’ for the Disco Weapons collection. His edit offers a route into the wider set: start with this version, then explore the other selections on the release page.

‘Masticate’ is our pick from DoE’s Something 2 Do. It works as an entry point to the larger project, inviting listeners to move from one track into the rest of the record.

Redbox Transmission pares back Envis Ronin’s ‘I’ll Never’ for this Stripped Mix. The single-track edition puts the alternate arrangement in focus and gives listeners another way to hear the song.

‘Sintra’ is our pick from Pattern’s Yokohama EP. Hear it on its own, then explore the full EP for the surrounding tracks and a fuller picture of the project.

Nile Robinson’s ‘Women Fly’ forms part of Water Memory. We have picked out this track as a doorway into the wider record, which is there to explore from the release page.

Fearful pairs ‘The Craft’ with ‘Side Effects’ for Yamatai Records. ‘The Craft’ offers an early listen to the forthcoming two-track release and a reason to keep the full pairing on your radar.

Roxane Barrow’s The Last Dance is a seven-track album, with one song available ahead of the full release. That first track offers a glimpse of the larger project while the record is open for pre-order.

LP’s ‘Wind It Up (Dream Dealers Version)’ offers an advance listen from Sneaker Social Club’s forthcoming iPhone Grime. The version credit makes this particular take on the track the one to seek out before the full album arrives.

The Cindys have shared two tracks from Love Century ahead of the full album. Take the early songs as an introduction to the record, then return for the rest when it arrives.

Mesh revisit ‘Trying To Save You’ in a specifically labelled Single Version, following an album version released in March. It is an opportunity to hear how this version stands alongside the earlier recording when the single arrives.

R+R’s ‘Some Good’ shares a forthcoming Three Stripe Records pairing with ‘Acid Off A Way’. Both sides make this a release to keep on the radar if you follow the label’s Bristol catalogue.

Smith & Mighty’s ‘Anyone / The Dark House’ brings two titles together on Three Stripe Records. This forthcoming listing is also a welcome reason to revisit one of Bristol’s foundational musical names.

‘Liver Pencil Case’ is our pick from The Tit Mice’s The Complete-ish Tosstool. The playful title stands out in the collection and offers a route into the larger release for curious listeners.

Amity’s Trax 004 puts Mulholland’s ‘Identifi’ alongside Elpac’s ‘FILES’. Each producer gets a side of this compact two-track pairing, making the whole release worth exploring.
