South London-based record label Speedy Wunderground have announced the sixth instalment in their annual compilation series. Speedy Wunderground Vol. 6 spotlights selected releases that chronicle the label's output across 2022-2023.

Featuring on the new edition are Dutch post-punks Lewsberg, English songwriter Jane Weaver, The Queen's Head, Australian goth-poppers HighSchool, experimental rock pair O. - who released acclaimed debut album WeirdOs on Speedy Wunderground earlier this year - newly-anointed Mercury Music Prize nominees English Teacher, psych-punks Hot Face and songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Tummyache.

Label head and producer Dan Carey comments: "I'm excited to have this collection ready. There is something that sets this apart from the previous 5 volumes: I had never worked with, and in most cases never even met any of the people on this record until the sessions for these songs. There's a variety in how these collaborations came about. Jane Weaver and Lewsberg are artists that I'd been wanting to work with for a long time, whereas I saw Hot Face at The Windmill one night and just said come over to mine! I have calculated that as a result of this compilation, Speedy Wunderground now has 24 new friends."

Ahead of the release Speedy Wunderground will be throwing a launch party at The Social which will include performances from Hot Face, Morn as well as a secret headliner and surprise DJs.
