    1. LACHLAN X MORRIS – “ILLUSIONAIRES”
    If you don’t know about Novocastrian pop genius, Lachlan X Morris’s work, then you need to get off your ass and give his latest album, “Illusionaires”, a spin and subsequent purchase. 

    In my mind, Lachlan is one of those artists that you wonder, “how is this guy not world renowned and a household name?” He also surrounds himself with a cast of superb musicians whose abilities are equally the perfect vehicle for driving his musical offings into your worn-out earholes, making them feel fresh and resonant.

    It’s brash, bracing psychedelic pop from a Newcastle band that deserves to be known outside their hometown.

    You won’t find a big digital footprint when you go looking for their backstory, but don’t let that stop you. The Autumn Hearts formed in 2016 and are seasoned players with songwriters Ed Peters (bass, guitar, vocals) and Dave Robson (guitar, vocals) at their core.

    Members were in a Newcastle band The Longknives who were active in the 1980s, and The Autumn Hearts have a solitary eponymous 2018 EP in their back catalogue.
