Northling drop the second single from their upcoming EP 'Wild'.

Formed in 2017 as an improvisational collective, Northling draws inspiration from the ever-changing landscapes of Lancashire, encompassing its coastlines, lakes, and fells, where the shifting seasons can unfold within a single hour. This rich diversity is reflected in their cinematic indie-electronica music, which effortlessly transitions from melancholic to euphoric, from darkness to light, and from desolation to celebration.

Since their formation, Northling's music has garnered support from respected platforms such as BBC Radio 1 and BBC 6 Music. They were also the first band to release on Reflections, earmarking their distinctive sound on the label back in 2022 with their EP Tycho.

'Hallowed Ground' is the band’s third EP, the second to be released through Reflections. ‘Wild', with its synth arps and urgent, rolling drums reveals another side to the band, one that's more forthright and energetic. Throughout the track, vocalist Joe Spencer’s lyrics explore the modern detachment from wildness and the urge to escape into nature, a call that is answered by Charlotte Rumley’s haunting declaration of “into the wild we go...”. With its specific sentiment and phrasing, this vocal part of Rumley’s was lifted from a different demo to become the focus and inspiration behind the writing of 'Wild'.

Northlings's new EP 'Hallowed Ground' is due September 4th on Reflections.

Northling illuminate Reflections with their latest EP Hallowed Ground. Formed in 2017 as an improvisational collective, Northling draws inspiration from the ever-changing landscapes of Lancashire, encompassing its coastlines, lakes, and fells, where the shifting seasons can unfold within a single hour. This rich diversity is reflected in their cinematic indie-electronica music, which effortlessly transitions from melancholic to euphoric, from darkness to light, and from desolation to celebration.

Since their formation, Northling's music has garnered support from respected platforms such as BBC Radio 1 and BBC 6 Music. They were also the first band to release on Reflections, earmarking their distinctive sound on the label back in 2022 with their EP Tycho.

Hallowed Ground is the band’s third EP. “It starts...” so, with the opening lyric of ‘Lights’ the first track on the EP. This ephemeral track builds on the delicacy seen in previous releases; the deliberate absence of the band’s signature dynamic drums, instead replaced with rhythms suggested by plucked guitar and pulsing samples, deftly suggests the cinematic tone of the rest of the EP. ‘Lights’ is another track borne out of a series of studio sessions; testament to the band’s skill as a writing collective.

‘Wild’, with its synth arps and urgent, rolling drums reveals another side to the band; more forthright and energetic. Throughout the track, vocalist Joe Spencer’s lyrics explore the modern detachment from wildness and the urge to escape into nature, a call that is answered by Charlotte Rumley’s haunting declaration of “into the wild we go...”. With its specific sentiment and phrasing, this vocal part of Rumley’s was lifted from a different demo and became the focus and inspiration behind the writing of Wild.

The title track ‘Hallowed Ground’ sees the collective digging deeper into the cinematic elements of their sound; featuring beautiful strings, ethereal guitar lines and Northling’s signature haunting vocal harmonies. The song was written in a series of live writing sessions in the bands’ studio: “the main string motif and ‘Hallowed Ground’ lyric emerged early in the writing process, steering the overall emotion and sentiment of the piece.” (Spencer).

The final track featured on the EP is Bones. Expanding on the electronic components of the band’s sound, this piece takes an amorphous and progressive form with a bed of looped samples. Slow-burning and profound, a sampled voice muses “the message comes through... everyone is on the crust of this star... it’s very beautiful”. This recurring spoken motif is framed harmonically by affecting piano chords and delicate guitar melody, with the piece gradually building to a climax in which the two voices of Rumley and Spencer melt into one another over the driving groove of Dopping’s live drums, in true Northling fashion.	

If their music seems indefinable, that’s because it is. The band draw on a wide range of musical backgrounds - from electronic to jazz to blues to soul, and the result is a melting-pot of sounds, samples and influences as powerful and diverse as the northern landscape they’re inspired by. “There’s this progressive nature to a lot of the music we write,” says Spencer, “it never really looks back, it's always moving forward and ending in a different place to where it began.”

After a seven-year hiatus, French electronic artist, Croquet Club, AKA Jeremy Villecourt, releases new single, ‘Solace’. Originally featuring as the opener to the second side of Anjunadeep’s esteemed Deep 14 compilation album, ‘Solace’ now sees its full release on Reflections. 

After cutting his teeth as a producer making soundtracks for global brands, Jeremy transitioned to working on his solo project, ‘Croquet Club’ in 2011. It wasn’t long before Anjunadeep reached out to sign his music, leading to a string of releases (‘Awake / Cardigan’, ‘Jacuzzi EP’, ‘Only You Can Tell’ and ‘Love Exposure’). Championed by the likes of Ferry Corsten, Lane 8 & Jaytech, these releases quickly solidified Croquet Club’s status as an Anjunadeep fan favourite.

In 2022, after letting the alias rest for several years, Jeremy returned to the studio and conjured up his new single ‘Solace’. The track is imbued with emotion, and it sees Jeremy’s delicate vocals sat atop a repeating piano, complemented by evolving synth lines.

Jessie Marcella returns to Reflections in October, with her latest ethereal track ‘Luminescence’.

Jessie’s always been drawn to deep, emotive soundscapes. She’s classically trained in the clarinet, and felt particularly drawn to the likes of Sigur Rós or Ralph Vaughan Williams, even as a child. Marcella’s love for dance music and breaks began when she studied digital music production at college, and her music production course at university, which reignited her passion for classical and ambient music. Her work cleverly weaves neo-classical and dance music, creating a tapestry of work that is so uniquely Jessie. 

In June 2022 released her debut solo EP ‘Untitled’ on Reflections to showcase the ambient side of her artistry and her ability to compose music that uplifts and subdues at the same time. The second part of her Untitled series was a continuation of the first project, where she produced 4 more ambient compositions. Jessie has seen an incredible trajectory since her first releases on Reflections. She has pulled in over 3 million streams across her releases; has garnered support from the leading likes of Sian Eleri and Jaguar on BBC Radio 1 and can boast Bicep as one of her biggest fans. 

'Luminescence' is an uplifting, evocative track featuring live strings that were recorded by Up North in Manchester earlier this year, infusing her trademark electronic sound with a distinct human touch.

The ‘Luminescence’ EP features 4 evocative and emotive tracks that seamlessly traverse the lines of neo-classical and ambient music, exploring the transformation of our planet and our environments caused by human activity. Each track in this collection represents an element of our ever-changing world. In the accompanying visuals, a delicate, ethereal bubble depicts the soul of Mother Earth. She endeavours to preserve her pure essence and keep herself intact, but ultimately she can only bear witness to the inexorable pace at which her surroundings change.

Since first meeting, Brighton-based songwriter Elle Limebear and instrumentalist-producer Cephas Azariah quickly found common ground in their artistic passions, developing a friendship and going on to collaborate across various musical avenues.

A storyteller at heart, Elle’s music combines her commanding yet ethereal vocals throughout her songs, telling tales to accompany people on their journey through life’s highs and lows, whilst inspiring them to look beyond their current challenges. With over 175 million streams and a Billboard #1, Elle’s music has taken her across the world, accompanied by Cephas Azariah as part of her touring band. Here, their joint efforts during sound-checks began to effortlessly take shape, noticing their natural synergy and curiosity to merge their distinct worlds in a creative space, their new project came to life.

Indian-born, British composer and producer Cephas Azariah returns to Reflections after a string of highly respected singles and EPs, including an ambient rework of Cubicolor's ‘Machine Keys’, from their debut LP on sister label Anjunadeep. Having scored music for Channel 4, PUMA, Soho House and soundtracked dozens of films, Cephas only began to reveal his own compositions in late 2021, embracing the paradox between traditional classical composition and his own cultural roots, he has amassed an outstanding 10 million streams to date.

Intended to soundtrack the everyday, ordinary and mundane moments of life, the pair utilise Elle’s voice as an instrument, exploring textures, range and gentle tones. Laid over the soft foundation of Cephas’ delicate, emotive compositions of twinkling pianos, synths and soaring strings, arranged to serve as a soundtrack and invite people to slow down, to embrace the beauty in our everyday moments.

The first single ‘the healing song’ is a testament to this intention, created to be the antidote to some of life’s rough edges, whether that’s repeated work patterns or the strains of home life. These repetitive strain injuries happen not just for our physical bodies but our mind and soul as well. A musical balm can be useful to help slow down and recover, this song is an ointment for that.

"This is a song of mental rest and mindful healing through sounds that enable you to 'be still’.”

- Cephas

The first single from Cephas Azariah & Elle Limebear, ‘the healing song’ is out now on Reflections. The new EP ‘if I can be honest’ is out now.

Jessie Marcella - Mother (Slowed + Reverb)

"Healer's Burden," a track from "Solitude's Radiance," explores the profound responsibility of trying to heal others who may not be ready for change. With compassionate synth-wave tones, healing pads, and empathetic melodies, the music gently envelops the listener in a narrative of caring deeply yet facing the harsh reality of resistance. The song articulates the weight of wanting to light the way for others while recognizing that each person must choose their own path.
