Music by Bergman: Lankum

Lankum have gained worldwide acclaim for their engrossing albums and captivating, often euphoric live performances. Their last album False Lankum, further developed their psychedelic take on folk music, and cemented their reputation as one of the most unique and talked about groups to emerge from Ireland in decades. 

Comprising brothers Ian Lynch (uillean pipes, tin whistle, vocals), Daragh Lynch (vocals, guitar) alongside Cormac Mac Diarmada (fiddle) and Radie Peat (harmonium, accordion, vocals), Lankum channel a diverse set of influences and histories to create a beautifully rare thing: a songbook from and for the people.

Music by Bergman: The WAEVE

On their eponymous debut, The WAEVE—aka Blur guitarist Graham Coxon and former Pipettes member Rose Elinor Dougall—become the latest act to dip into this disenchanted stream. Far from the urbane chatter of Blur’s greatest hits, The WAEVE reflects the turbulence beneath the soil of Great Britain: an album of pastoral disquiet and itchy post-punk edge.

Fresh off of the release of their self-titled debut album, The WAEVE are sharing the video for LP cut and latest single ‘Sleepwalking’.

Music by Bergman: The Brian Jonestown Massacre

The ever-evolving musical vehicle for notorious psych-rock musician Anton Newcombe, The Brian Jonestown Massacre has endured numerous phases and iterations since arriving in the mid-’90s, becoming something of an independent institution in the process.

The Brian Jonestown Massacre have returned early next year with their 20th studio album, Your Future Is Your Past. 

Music by Bergman: The Delgados

In 2005, The Delgados got fed up with being a band more respected than listened to and decided to put an end to a decade of bittersweet indie, of lyrical devastation, melodic preciosity and guitars that fought against angels. We understood the decision, but it hurt us to be left without the woven vocals of Emma Pollock and Alun Woodward, without those songs that were both painful and comforting. Fortunately for us, the quartet has decided to make a comeback and begin to reap the rewards of a cult following that has now put them where they deserve to be, at the top of the Glasgow music community.

Music by Bergman: Patrick Wolf

He is known for combining electronic sampling with classical instruments and his loyal fanbase, the Wolfpack. Wolf’s styles range from Electronic Pop to Baroque Chamber music.

Back in November, Patrick Wolf returned with his first new music in a decade, a single called “Enter The Day,” which is set to appear on an EP called The Night Safari, arriving April 14. Today, Wolf is back with another song from the EP called “Nowhere Game.”

Music by Bergman: Cub Sport

2019 saw Cub Sport undergo a transformation from local indie band to global pop powerhouse. With sell out dates across 4 continents, and a community and message that is impacting lives worldwide, the prolific independent Brisbane group are forging their own path to global acclaim. The energy around Cub Sport is fearless and captures the uniquely vulnerable writing and vocal delivery that saw the group reach new heights on their 2019, self-titled album Cub Sport.

Set for release on 7th April, they have announced their new album ‘Jesus At The Gay Bar’, sharing new single ‘Keep Me Safe’.
