Coming May 1st - Soften The Blows, the debut LP by @above.moi.

above me is a project defined by guitar driven pop songs reinforced with drum machines, sampled beats, dreamy synths and strange sound design treats.

Lauren, me, Galine, Andy and Peter from April Magazine at the last Seablite gig.

Seablite and I go way back. I've been a fan since day one. I booked their first show, we shared a rehearsal room for years, I was probably the first person to hear their first demo. Getting to reissue their first album was such an honor and will forever bond us. I will always be their biggest fan.

❤️❤️❤️

They’re the best!!! ❤️

Had the BEST time in Bristol catching my LA shoegaze faves @modottiband.bsky.social on the first night of their UK run. You NEED to see them when they hit your town, and bring your £££ because their merch game is STRONG ❤️‍🔥

Best people best jams.
