madder lake deep

The two Andy Bell released albums in 2025 and both excellent (and of course, couldn’t be more different 😀) Erasure’s Andy dropped Ten Crowns his best solo album to date imo, and Ride’s Andy released ‘pinball wanderer’ full of his trademark guitar work #FavesOf2025

People Of Substance

Produced by The War On Drugs’ Adam Granduciel, Craig Finn’s ‘Always Been’ is his strongest solo effort so far. Brilliant from start to finish
