Hidden Herd Presents:SANDHOUSE South London-based duo Sandhouse, consisting of Anna Sutherland (vocals) and Casper Holloway (guitar), have been steadily capturing attention with their captivating blend of 60s psychedelia, 90s alternative rock, trip hop and contemporary electronic influences. Their atmospheric, emotionally charged soundscapes have drawn comparisons to an array of icons, including Beach House, Massive Attack, Wolf Alice and Morcheeba. Songs from their debut EP have amassed millions of streams and earned support from BBC Music Introducing and The Line of Best Fit, alongside features on Spotify editorial playlists such as ‘Best New Indie’ and ‘Hot New Bands’. They recently kicked off 2026 with a feature on Dork’s Hype List, and are currently working on their sophomore EP, led by the brilliant new single ‘Snapdragon’. Live, Sandhouse have toured with Bleach Lab and Panic Shack, shared stages with Dove Ellis and Grandmas House, and performed at Abbie McCarthy’s Good Karma Club. They also recently appeared at Supersonic’s Block Party Festival in Paris.+ BIG HEAD+ Thimble+ Crowd

A london duo who became the first uk act signed to us label broke records, after their debut ep circus passed two million streams. They pair grunge weight guitars with shoegaze haze, psychedelia and trip hop production under melancholic, floating vocals. Recent singles snapdragon and pollyanna carry on that nocturnal alt pop run.

A brighton four-piece who met studying at bimm and played as bighead tea drinkers until the end of 2025. Live they are heavier than the name suggests, built on big guitars and songs that swing between chilled passages and loud ones. Recent releases are the single 'oh lover' and the ep 'submerged'.

A brighton ensemble whose sound folds folk, eastern and western classical, dark psychedelia and jazz into something closer to a slow build than a set of songs, with flute and saxophone in the mix. They debuted at the rose hill in february 2026 and have played the green door store since. Their four-track album 'that's a long time to be caught in the undertow' came out in july 2026.

A brighton four-piece who released their debut single 'ceiling ii' in july 2025, marked with a release party promoted by brighton noise. They play introspective, slow-building post-rock heavy on feedback and drifting grooves.
