“We’ve never liked the idea of being ‘just another indie band’,” say King Kuda. The Brighton-based four-piece, whose sound has evolved from classic indie numbers to incorporating “creamy guitars, big hooks, and hypnotic grooves”, first met at university and started jamming in the living room of their shared house. Their 2018 debut single Wildflower’ was packed with spangly guitars and wistful vocals, and now boasts almost half a million streams. New banger, ‘Bloodstream’, however, is reminiscent of electronic artists Dusky and Bonobo, who the band count as recent influences on their sound as well as indie gods, Foals.

My name is Charlie McMahon and I am a fashion and textile designer from the North East of England. My work is inspired by rural textile traditions and bringing them into a high fashion context. My most recent project is inspired by a series of nightmares I had as a child featuring the painting ‘Miss Wong’ by Vladimir Tretchikoff, which hung in my living room when I was growing up. Inspired by the paintings vivid colours and the subjects piercing stare, I have made a wardrobe of clothes for this nightmare woman. Featuring over the top colours and prints that swarm around the body and unconventional silhouettes and pattern cutting, in order to emulate the disorienting feeling of being in a nightmare.
