Sylvia Rose Novak weaves together heartbreak and apocalyptic imagery on the gripping, steel-laden “Waiting On October,” the latest single from her forthcoming album Bad Luck (out May 8).
Sarah Rachele’s last album ‘Scorpio Moon’ had a richly layered augmented band sound, but the follow up ‘Scorpio Sun’ which is due out this year has ripped up that design and started afresh with the emphasis on the raw, the personal and the stripped back.
