Stealing Sheep
Stealing Sheep are an all-female electro-pop trio from the UKl formed in 2010. Their style is an amalgamation of psychedelic pop, folktronica, disco and post-punk, often featuring three-part vocal harmonies and synth-heavy beats matched by a theatrical, DIY aesthetic.
GLO is their latest album which draws profound inspiration from their hometown of Liverpool and the eclectic musical influences that surround them. A kaleidoscopic journey that nods to the playful style of Mermaid Chunky, Katy J Pearson, Cosmo Sheldrake, Bethany Ley, Pip Blom, Thala & Laura Groves.
HANAH
HANAH is a producer and singer currently based in London, who has spent the best part of a decade developing an utterly distinctive sonic sensibility. Merging intimate-sounding loops with her euphonious vocals, HANAH’s debut EP Watch the World in Detail EP (released in March 2021 through Saffron Records), was a narcotic and often surprising listen. Lyrical fragments were repeated with a mantra-like simplicity until they revealed the kaleidoscopic meaning within. Declared “a triumph” by Clash Magazine, the EP had shades of Hiatus Kaiyote and early-James Blake, yet HANAH’s distinctive timbre remains wholly her own.
HANAH’s most recent EP ‘Colours of Now & Then’ was recorded at XL Recordings last summer and released on Saffron Records. In the face of the EP’s gravity-defying sound design, which depicts the void of grief with bracing viscerality, HANAH’s voice offers a beacon, a way forward, reminiscent of Eartheater. ‘Colours’ attests to the potential for healing, notably in lead single ‘Solo’, which has received over a million plays on Spotify. She celebrated the EP’s release with a well-received headlining show at the famed Windmill pub in Brixton.
It has been a busy time for HANAH having supported Rozi Plain in December 2023, Louis Culture on their European tour in April 2024, LA Priest in May 2024 and Fabiana Palladino in June 2024. HANAH has been played on BBC Radio 6 Music, BBC 1, BBC 1 Xtra, NTS, Worldwide FM, Balamii, SWU, Soho Radio, and has guested on tracks with Louis Culture.
