Ukrainian six-piece The Erised unveil their first EP, due for release early 2015, via forward-thinking, South London based label Med School.
The band creates elegant electronic timbres led by frontwoman Sofia Sukorukove, whose sublime vocals drive her own pop-oriented solo project Sonya and here deliver the emotive narrative of the music in powerful and absorbing fashion. The band also features two Med School favourites; Detail and Hidden Element, who have both previously featured in the label’s renowned ‘New Blood’ compilations.
Lead track ‘Pray’ is indicative of the quality and class abundant on the record. Passion-filled lyrics, cleverly crafted hooks, and graceful instrumentation inspire an immediate emotional connection with the story behind the song, driven by Sukhorukova’s incredible vocal range.
‘A Way To Forget You’ exhibits an equally heartfelt tale before ‘The Keys Are In My Hand’ and closing track ‘It's Over’ highlight the band's talents within the electronic sphere. Clinical drums and exquisite synths compliment the vocal delivery whilst guitars shimmer in this finely balanced EP.
The band is the latest to sign to Med School, the twisted sister of the irrepressible Hospital Records, home to the likes of London Elektricity, High Contrast, Danny Byrd, Netsky, Camo & Krooked, Nu:Tone and Logistics. Since its conception in 2006, Hospital’s little sister has aimed to take people deep into the realms of electronic music, championing emerging talent, and pushing a unique palette of sounds. 
There are truly no constraints… from the electronic delicacies of Bop and celestial classical timbres of Keeno, to the deeper-informed tones of Anile, song-writing prowess of Etherwood and the precise engineering of new Australian producer, Royalston; Med School champion all types of forward thinking music.

This debut EP from The Erised certainly represents the label’s furthest step into new territory, embodying the abundance of raw talent that this exciting new act possesses.

A Buck Ramble Christmas: Festival of Lights 

A lost rider and a singing companion are swept into the oldest story ever told.

After a desperate ride through a midnight storm, Buck Ramble and his faithful tenor companion arrive on the outskirts of Bethlehem just as the angel appears to the shepherds. They were never meant to be there—yet somehow they are. Their arrival shifts the story, and the angel turns to confront them. If they want the world to remain whole, they must remain and make it right.

What follows is a sacred western journey seen through the eyes of a man and his horse who never expected to witness a miracle. They follow the angel’s command to Jerusalem, where the Festival of Lights fills the Temple with fire and song. There, in the arms of an old man named Simeon, they behold the Child who would someday call Himself the Light of the World.

The encounter changes everything. They ride back not with answers but with peace—carrying a quiet flame that was never theirs to earn. The final songs are not about what happened, but what remains: light for the weary, mercy for the broken, and peace for every stranger still out on the road.

Part Christmas album, part biblical epic, part sacred western myth, Festival of Lights is the story of a man and his horse who stumbled into prophecy by accident—and stayed long enough to be transformed.

Summary Themes:

Doubt & faith

Accident & providence

Smallness & glory

Light carried through darkness

The gentleness of redemption

The way God works in ordinary men

Tone:

Cinematic, reverent, frontier, mid-century hymn, sacred Americana, biblical poetry, quiet emotional catharsis.

This isn’t just a Christmas album.
It’s a pilgrimage.
And somewhere in its journey, the listener finds themselves in the story too.
