Durham’s Tim Head IS Faithful Johannes and he paints the most wonderful pictures with his languid raps. His third album – in which he teams up with producer Neocia – sees him tackling childhood and parenting (among other stuff) in his own inimitable style. The sonics are mostly down-tempo as he explores those little low-key moments that make up a life. A kitchen-sink Loyle Carner is someone I can really get behind. Super! (Note: The album is being launched at Alphabetti Theatre, Newcastle on 19 Oct.) DP

Released 11 October on Butterfly Effect
