s the first artist on the list westside cowboy westside cowboy don t throw rocks posted by breaking more waves blog at 19 27 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday 31 december 2025 breaking more waves favourite albums of 2025 whilst breaking more waves blog has slowed to the point of being defunct i hope there s still a space for yet another end of year album list amongst the multitude of end of year lists this one only being finally decided at the end of the year as i ve said with previous end of year list posts by now if you re a music fan you re probably sick of these things by now and don t want to read pages of descriptions of why they are my favourites so instead i ve just listed my top 25 of 2025 here there s also a handy spotify playlist you can find by clicking the link below which allows you to listen to 1 track from each of the albums unfortunately there s no track from kif productions brilliant ambient collage still out as this is only available via bandcamp the only comment i will make on this year s list is that in the past i ve often really struggled to determine my number 1 it s often a toss up between 3 or 4 records which have shaped my year this year was different lux is such an incredible record it exceeds everything on this list by a long way it deserves all the critical acclaim it is getting i can say with a high degree of certainty that it will be in my top 5 at the end of the decade it s a truly astounding body of work from a truly exceptional artist you may remember that her album motomami a totally different record from lux also topped my end of year list in 2022 if you haven t heard lux yet you are missing out if you want to keep in touch with my musical recommendations whilst the blog is essentially dormant don t forget i still publish a new music weekly playlist updated every friday or saturday which you can find by clicking here and i am also on instagram at breakingmorewavespics i still do maintain a twitter x account but can see a point soon where i stop using this that s at bmwavesblog here s the link to the breaking more waves top 25 albums of 2025

facebook share to pinterest labels albums of 2025 rosalia tuesday 13 may 2025 preview and recommendations great escape festival 2025 it s that time again when new music fans and the music industry in the uk descend to the south coast for the annual multi venue music festival known as the great escape in brighton i guess i m part of the furniture at the festival now having attended 17 of the 18 events since the very first one in 2006 along the way i have witnessed a number of now high profile artists in their infancy playing tiny venues from adele playing to about 100 people at the red roaster café in the early days of the festival to more recently the controversy courting kneecap in 2024 2024 s edition of the festival was an odd one with many of the artists scheduled to play withdrawing in the days leading up to the event due to the festival s partnership with barclays bank who hold financial ties to companies whose weapons components and military technology are being used by israel in its attacks on palestinians this led to a lot of frantic rescheduling of shows and updating of the timetable by the organisers which to give the people doing the work credit they did an excellent job at with punters being kept informed of the changes by the constantly updating app the boycott by artists did achieve its aim and this year the festival is no longer sponsored by barclays however the horrendous number of deaths in palestine show no sign of abatement on the ground at the festival last year most punters i spoke to fully acknowledged the sincerity of those withdrawing but questioned what the boycott would ultimately achieve except for enabling artists to feel better about themselves if barclays pulled out 1 year on the withdraw of the artists doesn t appear to have resulted in even 1 life being saved to date as barclays have not changed their business partnerships or ties 2025 s edition of the great escape minus the corporate sponsorship of barclays appears to be business as usual with one change this year s event has now expanded to include live music on the wednesday night as well as the normal full days on thursday to saturday whilst traditionally there has always been a number of unofficial showcases on the wednesday night this year the festival has added a number of official great escape gigs as part of the ticket offering once again there are 100 s and 100 s of artists playing great escape not only at the official showcases but also at many of the free alt escape events that occur at the same time if you are a first timer the festival can feel almost overwhelming with the choice of artists so as a way of help breaking more waves is offering you a handful of recommendations of acts to see so let s dive straight in with 10 recommendations for trying to catch clashes and venue capacities permitting luvcat already named as one of breaking more waves ones to watch 2025 here and winner of the northern music awards breakthrough act of the year award luvcat gives you murder ballads about poisoining your husband being in love whilst making a sex tape and other twisted dark pop tunes that are way more interesting than the norm luvcat lipstick sunday 1994 formed from members of xylo and viva brother sunday 1994 make beautiful chiming guitar pop that pays reference to the likes of the cranberries or the sundays sunday 1994 rain oreglo mixing jazz with rock influences they ve signed to gilles peterson s brownswood recordings and have been tipped as the next jazz band to do an ezra collective if you want something away from all the indie guitar bands and something a bit more noodly at great escape oreglo could be your thing oreglo peck cliffords poetic and gritty cliffords are another band that were on the breaking more waves ones to watch list gearing up to release their 2nd ep this irish band make big music and life affirming anthems belted out by the highly charismatic iona lynch the cliffords bittersweet tara nome doyle tara nome doyle is a norwegian irish singer songwriter based in berlin her current album ekko released on the 11th april is a collection of gorgeous indie folk chamber pop mixing violin and piano and clocks in at just 30 minutes long this means if she ditches the first instrumental she could play almost all of it in her scheduled half hour at the unitarian church on saturday night tara nome doyle the overgrown path zimmer 90 around 10 years ago when music blogs like this were everywhere germany s zimmer 90 would have undoubtedly been receiving plenty of blog buzz they d have been on a label like kitsun and songs like what love is with its wholesome soft electronic dance feel would have no doubt been number 1 in the hype machine charts however it s not 2015 but 2025 that doesn t however mean that zimmer 90 are not worth your attention they are zimmer90 what love is westside cowboy this april westside cowboy beat 1000s of other entries to win the glastonbury festival emerging talent competition and bag a 5 000 talent development prize and a slot on the woodsies stage at the festival surely enough of a recommendation on its own nice swan records westside cowboy i ve never met anyone i thought i could really love until i met you goodbye goodbye are playing 5 shows at this year s great escape including some alt escape ones so there really is no excuse for not catching them at some point they haven t released any music yet save for a live bootleg cassette of one of their gigs via bandcamp which they state none of us own a cassette player so don t even know if it s any good however i saw them last year at mutations festival and they were certainly a band that showed some promise so if you want to check out one local brighton band goodbye are my recommendation ruby duff if you like your pop a little bit quirky a bit experimental and a bit cartoonish ruby duff might just be the one for you her exuberant sounding tune belong here sounds like it belongs on radio ruby duff belong here chloe qisha yet another breaking more waves one to watch for 2025 chloe qisha does knowing sassy cool as f ck pop chloe qisha sex drugs existential dread posted

listening festival 2025 are you listening reading s annual multi venue music festival returns to the berkshire town this weekend breaking more waves has been a regular attendee to the event our records show us first visiting in 2013 which appears to have been the first since then except for 2024 we ve been every year despite being a firmly established event are you listening doesn t always get the praise or recognition in the media it deserves perhaps it s because the likes of similar but larger multi events such as great escape dot to dot and sound city have a greater corporate involvement and can garner more publicity because of it having said that this backfired for great escape last year with its sponsorship from barclays leading to many artists pulling out as they didn t want to be associated with an event where the main sponsor and partner had ties to israeli companies particularly those involved in the arms industry are you listening really does deserve more acclaim than it gets not only for its music a mix of national touring acts and more local berkshire oxfordshire artists but the way its curated each venue has a slightly different tone if you hit up sub 89 you ll probably get a good does of sweaty visceral indie rock memories of the huge queues to witness idles there in 2018 are still vivid in the memory whereas if you choose st laurence s church you ll probably get something a little more unorthodox from vocal acapella groups to synth punk to jazz also between 2013 2023 it s worth noting that are you listening raised 79 576 for reading mencap sadly after 10 years reading mencap had to take a step back from the partnership bidding a fond farewell as the post pandemic fundraising landscape has changed considerably you can read more about this on reading mencap s website here now to the music this year s big hitters at are you listening include the likes of previous breaking more waves ones to watch big special coach party and album of the year top 10 band sprints however here are a few selections of artists a little further down the bill who also deserve your attention joshua idehen formerly of benin city joshua idehen has collaborated with the likes of kojey radical the comet is coming and sons of kemet a poet and a musician he already has a significant back catalogue but if you ve not heard of him before why not start with the track mum does the washing joshua s explanation of the world the way works which will both make you laugh and think then follow on to a variety of smooth grooves that have found favour on bbc 6 music joshua idehen mum does the washing ak dk drums synths textures rhythms motorik punk psychedelic dance experimental these are some of the words that we ve used in the past to describe ak dk who produced one of our favourite albums of 2017 with patterns harmonics their 2024 release strange loops was also a lot of fun strange loops by ak dk man woman chainsaw one of the artists that featured on breaking more waves ones to watch list for 2025 man woman chainsaw have hints of early black country new road with leftfield rock songs that veer wildly from raucous guitars to soaring violins with enough breakdowns and tempo changes to keep you guessing throughout the set man woman chainsaw the boss ziyad al samman according the are you listening website ziyad al samman is inspired by hours of listening to prince pulp gorillaz and egyptian singer amr diab that on its own should be enough of a recommendation but it turns out that after watching his video for his song ya habibi he looks like a lot of fun as well honeyglaze with two albums under their belt 3 piece honeyglaze produce the sort of introspective bedroom indie that has a strong sense of conscious honesty and rawness they have a certain languid unapologetic charm that impressed us back in 20021 here so they are on our list of possibles for are you listening 2025 honeyglaze tv tickets for the festival friday warm up party in
