A guide to electronic essentials, Shoplifting with Blondeshell

Label Focus: Fat Possum

Rough Trade Essential: Electronic

“A highly listened-to genre which has seen exponential creative growth. The influence of electronic music has long permeated the music world, from its early adoption in the 1980s, heard in the synthesizers and drum machines of much-loved bands such as The Cure, Depeche Mode and New Order.”

Shoplifting With Blondshell

“A hotly anticipated album of 2023, Partisan signed Blondshell (Sabrina Teitelbaum) has firmly caught our attention as an artist on an upward trajectory, making a bold introduction of her developed sound and character with the release of her self-titled debut.”

On The Rise: Anjimile

“In 2021 Anjimile signed to 4AD and in 2023 continues to explore what it means to be a Black trans person in America on his new album The King. The striking record openly examines the savagery and agony of 2020’s racist police brutality across a body of work that expertly realises the relationship between art and artist.”

On The Rise: Coach Party

“Formed in 2016 and signing to Chess Club in 2019 (whose roster also includes fellow On The Rise inductees Sinead O’Brien and Phoebe Green), years of touring and 3 EPs have brought the indie rock quartet into sharp focus. You could almost view the impressive constant gigging as a steady but intended simmer, the arrival their full length debut later in 2023 the band’s cue to finally let rip.”
