Talented musician and real-life angel Vogues released their joyfully eclectic debut album Tender Mercies in 2025. Lead by the exceptional 'Blood Moon', which summoned comparisons to Arthur Russel and Animal Collective, the LP is an appropriately gentle take on electronic pop. Sonically full of curiosity and wonder, Vogues' lyricism is raw and exposing, perhaps most notable on melancholy banger 'Tried'. Backed by Joy of Life International, a subsidiary of End of the Road Records, and with a sold out London headline under their belt (and what a fabulous belt it is), momentum is building around Vogues and we can't think of anyone more deserving. -Holly Mullineaux
