INJURY RESERVE ANNOUNCES DEBUT LP
Injury Reserve is art scene shit stirrers and with the release of each new video we’re witnessing it in real time; just one of the many reasons influential A&R Kyambo “Hip Hop” Joshua signed them to their new label home. The new single and video for “Koruna & Lime” directed by IR member Parker Corey, who directs all the groups videos, might be their most impressive visuals to date. Taken in one shot, the M.C. Escher-esque cinematography explores impressive camera use and angles solidifying Corey’s excellence as a director on top of being an already admired producer. The song itself features additional scratching from A-Trak that Corey interestingly explores through the camera lens.

BE GOOD share RnB inflected wonky-pop single ‘God of Nowhere’
Self-described as ‘awkward pop music for midnight walks and dancing in the nude’, Oxford quartet BE GOOD’s sound is silky smooth, whilst maintaining just enough rough edges to stay warmly endearing. The band formed after vocalist Ash Cooke and drummer Charlie Clarke met at a ceramics club, and then bonded over nights listening to rap music in a South East London flat. Relocating to Cooke’s hometown Oxford they enlisted James Cunning (synths) and Patrick Burley (bass), to start a band in response to small-town suburban boredom. Naming themselves after 96-year-old chemistry professor John B. Goodenough, they started releasing tracks in earnest – early singles came out via boutique labels Kitsuné and Communion.
