You’d be forgiven for thinking that an album called ‘World in Flames’ would feature hardcore punk, or industrial metal. Not so! Rojor is a Teesside fella who pens widescreen, sophisticated pop, that harks past to Aztec Camera, Prefab Sprout, The Blue Nile etc. His latest album sees him shining a light on our strange times, but in his own inimitable chilled manner. (Note: he’s launching the album with a gig at Stockton’s The Georgian Theatre on 6 May.) GM

Released 6 May, self release
