CELAVI – Praelia EP

Posted on November 10, 2026 by Real Gone

Welsh duo Celavi (often stylised as C E L A V I) released an excellent album ‘Dolorem’ in 2023.

Their 2026 EP ‘Praelia’ is often cut from a similar cloth, but whether you’re already a fan or about to discover this band, it’s a release that sounds absolutely thrilling.

JATK – Feel Today! EP

Posted on November 3, 2026 by Real Gone

Following the release of the ‘Ana’ single in 2023 – a track that took singer/multi-instrumentalist Matt Jatkola into hard edged power pop/Weezer-esque territory – all seemed to go rather quiet in the JATK camp.
