Arriving in a locked-down UK in 2020, Australia-born Kim Ven makes warm indie pop music, flavoured with folk and americana. Kim is an uplifting and empathic songwriter, writing about self-discovery and the impermanence of youth, influenced by Maggie Rogers, Leon Bridges and Lana Del Rey. 

A modern take on 60s romantic pop, Why Didn’t You Call? tells the familiar experience of being left hanging by the person you like, but still waiting by the phone for their call. “I've realised that I deserve a love better than that, and I hope anyone who listens realises that too” says Kim.

Why Didn't You Call?

Wherever I Go

Winlaton (win-lay-ton) is the third single released by the Ilfords since their 2022 rebirth.

Our David on Winlaton: 'Winlaton was written during deep lockdown. Nothing was open and late night running was the only space I had to myself. I suppose it reflects on what methods you can try to use when you feel lost. On one late night trek however, I realised I wasn’t just lost mentally at that time but geographically as I’d managed to run all the way to Winlaton.'

Produced, Engineered and Mixed by Ady Hall and Lee McCarthy of Sugar House Productions
Recorded at Catalyst Studios, St Helens
Mastered by Nick Watson of Fluid Mastering

The Likes Of Us

Sad Boys is from Ritual Forms' debut album, Nighttime Economy out now.

Lyrics: 
So, you ran away from life
Well, wasn’t that nice, wasn’t that nice?
And all the people disappointed me
But I’m not surprised, not surprised 

Tell me why I should believe you?
Is it your pride, your pride?
Can you think of no one,
other than yourself?
Open up your damn eyes

Open up your damn eyes
Open up your damn eyes
Open up your damn eyes

So, how does it feel to be the best?
Is it that nice, is it that nice?
 Looking down at all of the rest
Was it worth the price, was it worth the price

Of the sad souls, the mad souls, the bad souls
Open up your damn eyes
The old ones, the young guns, the poor sons
Open up your damn eyes

Open up your damn eyes
Open up your damn eyes
Of the sad souls, the mad souls, the bad souls
Open up your damn eyes
The old ones, the young guns, the poor sons
Open up your damn eyes

Did you get what you came for
Do you care
Did you get what you came for
Do you care
Did you get what you came for
Do you care
Did you get what you came for

Of the sad souls, the mad souls, the bad souls
Open up your damn eyes
The old ones, the young guns, the poor sons
Open up your damn eyes
The faded, the jaded, the hated
Open up your damn eyes
The undones, the lost sons, everyone
Open up your damn eyes
