New music from Tom Emlyn. The whimsical Svengali is in the comments!

Been a really great two weeks for Tom supporting Tom Robinson (who subsequently played Starsick on 6 Music) at the Acapela Studio and then Van Morrison at Swansea Arena. Hard work pays off!

Very well deserved after an already brilliant year for him!

Still a few tickets available, too!

Passing Craze by Tom Emlyn music was released this May. Preceded by four singles, it was Tom's first ever vinyl release and our 6th as a label. It's always a great buzz for us to release new music, particularly in this format!

The album is available to buy from our online store now. Go get yourself one of these limited edition copies!

Thanks to everyone who supported the album and to Beast PR for help with the PR, which resulted in a live session with Huw Stephens and some really lovely words from a whole load of reviewers 👇

God Is In The TV Zine. “Passing Craze is a masterclass in inciteful songwriting.”

Buzz Magazine Wales "Fuzzy, rangy psych-rock goodness"

Obscure Sound “Passing Craze is a consistently captivating full-length output from Tom Emlyn.”

Apricot Magazine “Tom Emlyn has assembled something genuinely cohesive from the scattered gems of years.”
