After a move across country back to the south east where he grew up and then some time setting up his analogue studio, Milk City Studios, Scott is back with another tour, Acoustic Songs and Stories, a run of intimate shows in some incredible venues across the UK and Europe

In 2026, Scott will be playing the best of his four solo albums as well as some new material and stories, bringing the banter along with two beautiful vintage acoustic guitars. Scott continues to build a loyal following, not through chart dominance but through the strength of his songwriting and stage shows - honest, unsettling, and deeply human, bringing us into the original landscapes he creates onstage

“These 11 songs are haunting, dark, and poetic in a Townes Van Zandt or Mark Lanegan kind of way. Opener “I Must Be Lonely” is one of the best loneliness songs I’ve heard in an age - slow, spare, sombre, and really beautiful. There’s dramatic goth-Americana, wounded blues and gorgeous folk (We Were Young Together Once), all recorded alone at night with De La Cour playing every instrument bar the fiddle.” - MOJO

Often compared to everyone from Alex Chilton to Brian Wilson, Nick Lowe to Martin Newell- Stoltz is a pop chameleon. His constant reshuffling of the deck finds him in a constant flux of creativity. If You Don’t Know Me… weaves through his brand of sardonic and playful humor and vulnerable, introspective late night musings. The lead off track and first single from the album, “Competitive Bastard” is a groovy reflection of a musician throwing his hands up at the music industry and the notion of working for exposure and opting instead to make records for his own entertainment.

Effortlessly cool and completely self aware, Stoltz has settled into his era of zen-pop eccentricity.
Long a favorite of MOJO, Brooklyn Vegan, and John Dwyer… Stoltz is also a onetime Echo & the Bunnymen rhythm guitarist and currently Robyn Hitchcock’s West Coast drummer. Stoltz is also now the host of legendary radio station KEXPs weekly Bay Area Music spotlight show, “Vinelands”.

If You Don’t Know Me, Buy Now will be released in May 2026 on LP & CD by Agitated Records in UK & Europe and Dandy Boy Records in the USA.

Elated to be welcoming Seamus Fogarty to the Outsider Artists roster for bookings in the UK & Ireland

The power of Seamus’ artistry, a chance meeting on a Pembrokeshire coastline and good-willed forces from as far as Kilkenny to Billericay have led to this partnership beginning – roster additions do not get more wholesome than this

The Irish-raised, London-based Alt-folk alchemist will release new album ‘Ships’ on March 6th via Scottish label Lost Map Records, in partnership with Swedish label Sing A Song Fighter

Packed with poignant and funny slice-of-life vignettes touching on everything from Geoffrey Chaucer to DIY coffins, and existing in a wonderful new sonic realm where songs and stories coexist peacefully with fragmentary electronics, drones and field recordings, ‘Ships’ is his most expansive and uplifting collection of music to date

2026 bookings are hastily entering the diary, drop a line if you have interest

Cindy announce 2026 shows in France plus a UK exclusive London appearance

Feb 11 Rennes, Antipode
Feb 12 Paris, Le Cirque Électrique
Feb 13 London, Chats Palace

Cindy is a key part of the San Francisco/Bay Area dream pop, fog pop, lofi scene. Led by NYC-originating songwriter Karina Gill, the steady stream of releases has earned sincere support from the international press community who have vividly championed the writing and sound.

The songs are hazy but with intent – this is nostalgic pop-craft with lyrical backbone that has opened doors for Cindy to tour and appear at festivals in the UK, Europe and USA, most recently with DIY recording icon, Linda Smith.

The current Cindy touring band includes members Will Smith of Now, Staizsh Rodrigues of Children Maybe Later, and Oli Lipton of Now and Violent Change.

Cindy will tour the EU & UK in 2026, while making progress back home in San Francisco on the eagerly awaited fifth album.

//

“Many songwriters would do well to learn from such a simple, elegant example” – Uncut (8/10)

“Cindy’s songs are short and sweet, with feeling coming first and song structure second. Who cares about a chorus when the mood is this divine?” Pitchfork

“Cindy’s songs [are] held together by the most delicate of bonds, they feel like they could scatter to the wind if a single piece falls out of place. But, handled with care, they still sound beautiful.” – Bandcamp – Album of the Day

“[Cindy] balance Velvets minimalism with an evocatively British-style introspective indie […] delivering sultry, deadpan one-person girl group melodramas” – MOJO (4⁄5)

“so overwhelmingly pretty that it might make you feel slightly dizzy.” – Stereogum
