Atmos Bloom have been on our collective radar here at DKFM for some time now. The Manchester UK based two-piece have been responsible for some pretty luscious dream pop tracks. Their self-titled debut EP from 2020 set the bar high, so when I heard that Curtis Paterson & Tilda Gratton were set to release their debut album, I had to check it out. Flora sees the duo honing their bedroom […]
When you think of the UK shoegaze scene there’s only a few names in there that merit being dubbed legends. Amongst that righteous few you’ll find Presents For Sally.

Doncaster's 93MillionMilesFromTheSun have been responsible for some of the most effervescent sounds of recent years. The self-titled debut (2008) and Northern Sky (2011) brought them to our ears here at DKFM, and we have been enthralled by their sonic explorations ever since.
