Media regulation is partly about protecting individuals and groups from powerful organisations and the wealthy, but it is also about protecting democracy.

Body Type – Tally
This band from down under were first brought to my attention by THE VPME back in 2019 and featured on The Moon in Top Moon Tunes 2019 Volume 5 and then subsequently in Top Rock n’ Roll 22 and 23 with tracks from their first and second LPs. With this third LP they have upped the ante in terms of song quality, and it is top notch rock n’ roll from start to finish.

Seamus Fogarty – Ships
I was made aware of Mr Fogarty via KLOF (when FRUCK) with the release of his second LP back in 2017 and a track featured on A Best of 2017 in The Moon. His 2020 LP did not manage to float my boat as much, but this new LP is brilliant. Back in 2017 KLOF described him as an “Irish alt-folk and electronica alchemist” and it is more accurate with this release.

Paper Wings – Mountains on the Moon
Paper Wings is a folk duo based in Nashville composed of longtime friends and co-writers Emily Mann and Wila Frank and I came across them when the Spotify algorithm played them after I checked out the new Mamma’s Broke single thanks to KLOF – who have also featured Paper Wings on one of their Monday Morning Brew playlists. This is their third LP and it is gorgeous with some strong lyricism. Back in 2023 Ms Frank also released a solo LP of cinematic folk called Black Cloud.

Jessica Lea Mayfield – Miss Obliteration
This is Jessica Lea Mayfield’s 5th solo LP but I only first came across her with the release of her 2025 EP Choose Myself, with the wonderful Something Good featuring Rhet Miller a highlight on Uneasy Listening 2025. I don’t know how I came across her, but she has featured on NPR Music site a lot in the past. This is her first new LP since 2017 and it is similar to the laid-back rock and roll with great lyrics of her 2025 EP. From 2020 she also released a few singles, and with the 2025 EP, they make a rather good 9 track playlist. This year she has also released with Delour an easy listening re-working of Weezer’s second LP Pinkerton and back in 2015 she released an album of Elliot Smith covers with Seth Avett.
