Norwegian singer Dagny has released Side A of her debut album 'Strangers / Lovers', with the full LP landing in September. With the concept of the record that of a story, the idea stemmed from the vocalist going through 250 songs that she had written over time, many documenting the ups, downs and in-between of her life spanning a decade.
Leeds trio PEAKES follow-up their AA-side release 'On The Other Side / A Sacred Place' with a new track dubbed 'We'll Talk'.
