Grimm Grimm
London-based singer-songwriter experimentalist Koichi Yamanoha has been operating under the alias of Grimm Grimm since 2013. The project is an outlet for his fragile, haunted, otherworldly forays into baroque folk, uneasy easy listening, futurist lyricism and electroacoustic oddities with foggy melancholia.
Born in Tokyo, Yamanoha's first solo record, “Kazega Fuitara Sayonara” (Good Bye When The Wind Blows), was released in late 2014 via Kevin Shield and Charlotte Marionneau’s Pickpocket Records in collaboration with Honest Jon's. His debut album, “Hazy Eyes Maybe”, was released by ATP Recordings in 2015 and tracks from the album were used as soundtrack for the Aaron Brookner / Jim Jarmusch directed
documentary film “Uncle Howard”.
Yamanoha released his third studio album, Ginormous, on 28 February 2020 on Tip Top Recordings. The album was mixed and co-produced by Marta Salogni and featured Paz Maddio and L titia Sadier.

Dog In The Snow
The moniker of Brighton-based, Scottish-Thai musician Helen Ganya Brown, who experiments with existentially-driven lyrics and off-kilter sounds to create a layered musical landscape. Helen’s debut album for Bella Union is Vanishing Lands in which she explores environmental ruination via her monochrome dreams. The record, the follow-up to 2017’s Consume Me, sits somewhere between dream-pop, art-rock and electronica. She has also toured as a session musician with post-punk band Fear of Men and alternative collective Lost Horizons, founded by Cocteau Twins’ member and Bella Union boss Simon Raymonde. Helen also produces and presents a fortnightly radio show on Brighton's Slack City, entitled Mixed Tapes, which highlights the work of musicians of colour.
"Brown has the priceless ability to move between deeply immersive and atmospheric explorations into
terrain where her voice results in stirring and explosive charges." - Long Live Vinyl

Lorcán
After making his debut in 2020 with a series of home recorded singles, Lorcán is making an impact on the Bristol music scene. His music traverses the space between dream pop, ambient and indie rock. His songs are worlds of contrasts, with mellow baritone vocals against crunching drum machines and crisp ethereal synths twinkling over jangling vibrato guitar. Lorcán’s music captures the transience of lived experience, celebrating both the mundane and the dreamlike aspects of life.
