In 2021, lengthy after their tenure as the home band of a south London open-mic evening, Speakers Corner Quartet reunited for a present on the venerable Barbican venue, joined by a who’s who of the English capital’s experimental pop, R&B, and jazz worlds. Sampha, Tirzah, Mica Levi, Shabaka Hutchings, and Kae Tempest had been amongst them, and people artists and extra return with the quartet on its debut album, a swirl of jazz and hip-hop uniquely imprinted by every rotating visitor.

The Stools: R U Saved? [Feel It]
The Stools are a punk band from Detroit made up of childhood associates Will Lorenz (vocals/guitar), Charles Stahl (drums), and Krystian Quint (bass/vocals). The trio shaped in 2016, recording to tape on an previous boombox. After issuing a string of EPs, cut up data, and singles, the Stools are releasing their first correct full-length, R U Saved? The album fuses dirty blues riffs with high-octane rock’n’roll, clocking in at a brisk 23 minutes.
