A note from this shelf

Strumming through sun-soaked shores and shadowed interiors: Darren Hayman resurrects his long-sold-out ukulele dispatches from the North Devon Coast, the perfect companion for a rainy British summer holiday, while Never the Bridle delivers a determined 25 minutes of lo-fi self-reflection on motherhood and anxiety, armed with eBay guitars and a Hello Kitty tin of picks. Sophie Noel brings 60s art-pop bops laced with environmental guilt, and Zane Alexander sings lo-fi acoustic songs of identity and displacement across French and Spanish. Jack Hayter offers wistful, Brel-influenced ballads with a haggard voice Pitchfork calls "world-beaten."
