Pollyfromthedirt Releases First EP ‘The Dirt Pt. 1’

      "Authentic, independent, and proudly self-made..."

      19 · 11 · 2025

      Darlington-bred artist Pollyfromthedirt releases his debut EP, ‘The dirt pt. 1’.

      Taking his name from his mother, Polly, and the affectionate nickname for his hometown, The Dirt, Pollyfromthedirt’s six-track EP serves as a tribute to his personal journey, infusing an eccentric Northern charm through a chaotic mix of sounds and textures.

      ‘The dirt pt. 1’ features the lead single ‘There’s no such thing as England,’ along with previously released tracks ‘Cherry Seeds,’ ‘Darlos Cowboys,’ and ‘A Weekend in Majorca,’ plus two new, unreleased songs.

      Pollyfromthedirt handles all aspects of engineering, mixing, and mastering his music himself. His intense performances tackle both major and minor upheavals in life and love, resulting in music that feels both rebellious and gentle, playfully critiquing British culture while meandering into a shadowy, ethereal realm.

      Listen in now.

Hen Ogledd will unveil their new album ‘DISCOMBOBULATED’ on February 20th.

This quartet brings together talented artists from various backgrounds, with Dawn Bothwell, Rhodri Davies, Richard Dawson, and Sally Pilkington collaborating in a freeform yet cohesive manner.

The new album has emerged, with sessions for ‘DISCOMBOBULATED’ recorded alongside producer Sam Grant at Blank Studios in Newcastle.

Scheduled for release on February 20th through Weird World, Hen Ogledd – derived from the Welsh phrase for ‘The Old North’ – seems to create something greater than merely the sum of its individual components. “There’s something about Hen Ogledd that’s not like a typical band,” remarks Richard Dawson. “It’s something… different.”

The new track ‘Scales will fall’ is captivating – a highly organic song that skillfully navigates the edges of folk, post-punk, and post-rock, while resisting confinement to any specific genre.

Referencing the Durham Miner’s Gala before evolving into a horn-infused rhythm, ‘Scales will fall’ genuinely takes listeners on an adventure.

“Perhaps Hen Ogledd is more like a family than a band,” shares Sally Pilkington. “There’s something quite special about incorporating children’s voices into the music.”

Listen to ‘Scales will fall’ below.

Tracklisting:
1. Nell’s prologue
2. Scales will fall
3. Dead in a post-truth world
4. Clara
5. End of the rhythm
6. Amser a ddengys
7. Clear pools
8. Land of the dead
