An eagerly anticipated follow-up of sorts to Ohtis’ incredible 2019 album Curve of the Earth (Full Time Hobby), Virgos are Honest is a mixtape of songs reflecting the past 20 years of this incredible project. Clocking in at just over 70 minutes in length and including a handful of early years demos, covers, previously released Joy of Life singles and some more recent works, this is a total treasure trove of alt-folk that is not to be slept on.

A new standalone work made in collaboration with Late Works, featuring contributions from Henry Nicholson and Elliott Batten.

Spanning just over seven minutes, the piece captures DUNCE’s shift toward a more outward, physical sound. Built from extended improvisation it channels the restless energy of the live band into a single, collaged form.

The debut album from master songwriter Michael Clark. A haunting vocal and vivid imagination collide in this subtle yet powerful document of the alt-folk writer’s work.
