This week on The Other Woman


A brand new track from Lanterns On The Lake starts us off this week. Their second album Until The Colours Run is out now and has been knocking our socks off. The newly renamed (and signed to Sub Pop) Lyla Foy makes an appearance ahead of her London show on the 10th, which is definitely in The Other Woman’s diary! There’s a trip to Batley just outside of Leeds to hear from up and coming blues-folk artist Jasmine Kennedy, an experimental soundscape from Atom Eye (which received a great reaction from you) plus an introduction to hip hop artist Lizzo and much, much more.

All available to listen again to right here.

This week on The Other Woman


Within the first ten minutes of this week’s show we hop from France to Brazil via London and that sets the tone nicely. Edith Crash kicks things off with the gorgeously sexy Inonde, followed by a new track from Bon-Bon‘s EP She Don’t Want To Know added to amazingtunes.com especially for us. Bella Union signees PINS and Leeds’ Slowcoaches make sure things get a bit dirty half way through and then Wales songstress and guitarist Cate Le Bon and Californian gloom rock merchant Emily Jane White set us off in a completely different vein. We especially like this pic of ClB inspecting the under sole of her show!

You can listen again here.

This week on The Other Woman: Torres

Torres

The Other Woman is a weekly radio show on Amazing Radio - you can listen again to the show here.

San Fermin are a new discovery here on The Other Woman and to start the show with such an uplifting enchanting pop tune is a treat. Carrying on the pop goodness we feature Rose Elinor Dougall and the latest ear worm from Brooklyn trio Au Revoir Simone.

We dip into some Canadian traditional fiddle with April Verch and feature special guest Torres - the Georgia, via Nashville singer, songwriter and rockin’ guitarist was over here on tour and we caught up with her next to some vending machines and a sliding door. Expect some lovely session tracks from her too which we recorded at CMJ in New York.

This week on The Other Woman: Julia Kent

This week on The Other Woman on Amazing Radio we started with a London duo Post Louis whose vocalist Stephanie Davin will have you swooning at the very first verse. We dipped into Dum Dum Girls new album for a new single too, plus we played Samantha Crain too ahead of a one off London show in December. Gothic songstress Emily Jane White made a turn with her new single Keeley which is typically haunting, plus Potty Mouth made an appearance with Drip Dry – classy!

Emily Barker tour interview - Dear River


While Emily Barker and The Red Clay Halo are on their biggest tour to date, here is the Australian-turned-UK-resident chatting about her biggest album to date, working with one of Scotland's finest producers and life on the road. I recorded one of my first ever sessions with Emily Barker when The Other Woman had a home on London's finest Resonance FM. That was back 2006 and in the intervening years she's become an award-winning composer, musician and stunning songwriter.

Wilsen in session and interview

Tamsin Wilsen in action
I've raved about Wilsen before - in fact it was on The Other Woman on Amazing Radio at the beginning of the year that we had a chat, her first radio interview as it was. Since then she's released a stunner of an album, Sirens, and has been building a following and a band in New York (she's British). It's the voice and the effortless whistling which grabs you initially - I was so glad to find this picture of Tamsin mid-whistle, it's awe-inspiring! The album floats easily between intricate folk melodies to sudden bursts of folk rock which such ease, it was a joy to catch the band live at CMJ Music Marathon in New York last week. Amazing Radio recorded a session with the band which you can hear below, plus my interview with her for The Other Woman.
