pascal pinon, das sind jofridur und asthildur, zwillinge aus island, die bereits im zarten alter von 14 mit zwei freunden eine band gr?ndeten. die beiden mºdchen klaubten sich die instrumente zusammen, ?bten in ihrem zimmer und traten mal hier, mal dort auf. ihre musik - ein mix aus neofolk und lo-fi-pop - klingt sch?chtern und zur?ckhaltend, was sicher auch an den d?nnen wºnden ihres zimmers liegt. die songs indes beweisen gro?e klasse, kein wunder also, dass pascal pinon mit ihrem deb?talbum f?r den islºndischen musikpreis als newcomer des jahres 2009 nominiert waren. die drei-track-single >i wrote a song< gibt einen vorgeschmack auf das schaffen der beiden.

herpes f?r alle! deb?talbum der berliner artschool-punks.

swedens speedmarket avenue are a a pop music collective led by a little guy who looks like a cross between charles manson and marc bolan. their new album is, without a doubt, one of the musical highlights in 2008 for all pop lovers! their debut album im going to let my new swiss army knife answer to that, was packed ful of jangle pop reminiscent of label 53rd and 3rd. the band have played various european festivals and collaborated with camera obscura on their lets get out of this country album thanks to the mutual connection of producer, jari haapalainen. under his direction, they ve now recorded their second album, way better now. an absolute beauty from beginning to end replete with precious pop melodies in a non conventional way, imaginative arrangements and an omnipresent trumpet. limited to 600 copies on vinyl.

a special version of alone in the makeout room recorded with eddi reader. the band recently started recording the follow up to the acclaimed balls. hopefully we ll all be enjoying the fruits of their labour sometimes in the summer

mr. popps soundtrack f?r 2009: der duesseldorfer setzt auf seine livequalitaeten.

recording as lord cut-glass, alun woodward, formerly of the delgados, releases his first album since the delgados? ?universal audio? in 2004. extraordinarily ambitious, ?lord cut glass? was written, arranged and in large part performed by woodward, recalling the orchestral grandeur of his former band whilst forging a style of acerbic, sardonic songwriting all of his own. lord cut glass features galloping percussion, waltzes, marches and promenades of male and female harmony: delicate and serene creations punctuated by casual profanity and shot through with brazenly hilarious words-to-the-wise.

new single from arab straps malcom middleton taken from his album sleight of home. blue plastic bags is a brilliantly observed song about modern british drinking culture, among other things. the limited blue vinyl 7inch comes backed by a stunning cover of malcoms choir by king creosote.

classic 1983 album!!!

although they formed in oakland, ca, in 2002, the saviours are a deliberate throwback to an earlier time and place, specifically great britain in the late 70s and early 80s. deeply inspired by the new wave of british heavy metal as well as first generation thrashers like slayer and early metallica, the saviours formed out of the ashes of a minor east bay thrash and screamo band named after the excellently monikered actor yaphet kotto...

these portraits in words and music will hang in the halls of your mind, taking shape as their features are described against backdrops of familiar and characteristic music

arm in arm is a relentless push me pull you glammed up bluegrass stomper with a crackin mix from the midi funksters shy child. we also get the otherwordly the passage which leaves you all spooked and lonely....we only have a handfull of these beauties.

repress of the 1970 classic!

this is the vinyl format of tom brosseaus third full length for fatcat, after 2006s compilation of early material empty houses are lonely and 2007s critically acclaimed cavalier, which was produced by pj harvey collaborator john parish in one week. mice parades adam pierce and small sails ethan rose co produced and guest performed on posthumous success. ethan roses tracks were produced in portland, oregon, adam pierces in upstate ny. this album marks a noticeable sabbatical from the predominantly vocal and guitar / all acoustic recordings of previous records.

at the core of every contented family is a sense of balance, an emotional push and pull that helps stabilize the entire unit. a similar equilibrium anchors le loups second album, family. recorded in a remote cabin and a maryland basement, the record finds the middle ground between tribal rock, freak folk, and sonic experimentation.

great live record from the hamburg based indie band!

c joynes is a musician whose playing has consistently invoked a broad and shifting stream of inspirations.

the hidden cameras never fail to capture the imagination. orchestrated by leader joel gibb, their live spectacles are unconventional to say the least ? everything from blindfolded band members and string players to go go dancers shimmying alongside gospel choirs. the hidden cameras latest work, origin: orphan, is equally ingenious as the four previous albums.

pure groove is delighted to be releasing the first single by new fiction (home of elbow, snow patrol, filthy dukes and new dave sitek superstar project maximum balloon among others) artist alice gold.
she has got a big year ahead of her kicking off right now, with solo shows, support slots galore (including the eels uk tour which touches down at brixton academy) and some late summer festival slots.
produced by dan carey (the sonic alchemist who has twiddled the knobs of franz ferdinand and hot chip among a gazillion other british musical luminaries) orbiter will be another delightful limited and numbered vinyl edition, with lovely packaging that will make it a collectors treat.

second release for the april77 record label... our sound is fast and tough. we dig the clash, buzzcocks, the jam and all that mid 70s early punk stuff. the list could go on and on (lenny pops, singer of the red hearts.). the red hearts are a household name in the los angeles indie rock and punk scene. they are lead by lenny pops, who formed the band in 2004 after having played in the brian jonestown massacre. the guys have shared the stage with cult icons such as silver apples, the avengers, as well as playing with many of todays top bands including black lips and lords of altamont.

alarma man sind zur?ck mit >love forever<, ihrem zweiten album. sie sind aelter geworden, ueberlegter vielleicht. geblieben ist das ruhelose, ihre fiebrigkeit.

in nur zwei jahren haben es die israelischen psychodelic-punkrocker monotonix geschafft, die independent musikszene richtig aufzumischen. mit legend?ren, unkonventionellen wilden rnr shows und tollen eps und einem album. diese brandneue 7 inch haben sie zusammen mit produzentenlegende steve albini im electrical audio studio aufgenommen.

the routes are shinichi nakayama (drums), toru nishimuta (bass) and chris jack (guitar/vocals). taking influence from amongst many others link wray, the yardbirds, the animals, the sonics, the wailers, the downliners sect and hound dog taylor, the routes distinctive sound featuring chris sublime guitar playing is a must-have for any garage fan.

sie haben die stadt amsterdam binnen k?rzester zeit auf die internationale rock-landkarte bef®rdert, haben dem rest der welt gezeigt, wie man britpop auf holl?ndisch buchstabiert. gleich ihre ersten auftritte fanden im vorprogramm von paul weller statt, dann entdeckte sie karl lagerfeld, der ihnen dazu verhalf, vom esquire magazin mal eben als ºbest dressed band? abgefeiert zu werden, und inzwischen sind sie auch hierzulande eine feste gr®?e

die single pr?sentiert zwei neue monster-tracks der ex-soledad brothers, die sich auf keinem album des trios finden. frei nach dem motto: die stooges treffen auf howlin wolf! auf der a-seite ziehen die amis den hut vor ihren blueshelden, auf seite b covern sie >road runner<, den live-favoriten von bo diddley. absoluter killershit vom label stag-o-lee!

nice nice are jason buehler and mark shirazi, a duo from portland making incredibly precise yet completely wild noise jams that have drawn comparisons to a range of contemporaries, from fuck buttons to health to lightning bolt to animal collective. >see waves< is their addictive second uk release, and their second on warp.

nice nice are jason buehler and mark shirazi, a duo from portland making incredibly precise yet completely wild noise jams that have drawn comparisons to a range of contemporaries, from fuck buttons to health to lightning bolt to animal collective. >one hit< is their addictive first uk release, and their first on warp ? a powerful first impression equally likely to appeal to fans of noise / drone music (zu, earth, lightning bolt) as more rhythmic, structured artists (fuck buttons, pivot), psychedelia or shoegaze fans, and more brian enoesque sounds.

return to form (take that, haters!) hits at the body repeatedly, slamming away with a lack of abandon and a new sense of protocol. major stars are known for being psychedelic rock journeymen (and journey lovin women), but of late, their rocks psych roots seem to be dyed platinum white, with a truckers cap shoved on top of the whole mess. its jukebox ready hard rock with a hallucinogenic edge, sure ? or perhaps its just the impact of their triple guitar git down, causing your head to throb with concussive force? dont worry, long time star children ? these guys still jam, but they ve got short numbers too, and wailing, roadhouse vocals sailing over the punch ups. a terrific variety, but a return to form? pffft! what form? these guys have been in plasma state forever! whatever form it takes, thats what it is. and major stars are presently shining on in white dwarf style ? compacted, but with a violent gleam.

the very first release on the new cheap sublabel cheaprecord rocks comes from the promisingindie act freud. >sex you again< is already aired on heavy rotation on fm4 radio and reached the #2 position at the austrian indie charts.

baddies are an indie rock band from southend, essex, who released their debut single battleships in october 2008. identical twins michael and jim webster are joined in baddies by danny rowton and simon bellamy. it has been said that they make hi octane alt pop that recalls the likes of klaxons and queens of the stone age. big, ballsy bass heavy hooks delivered at breakneck speed (bbc)!!

positiv treibend, die welt umarmend: zweites album der schweden-rocker.aufbruchstimmung im hause stompin souls: die f?nf stockholmer haben f?r den nachfolger ihres gefeierten 2008er-deb?ts ihre garage entr?mpelt, den 60s-staub vom equipment gepustet und bei der gelegenheit noch synthesizer und einige andere instrumente entdeckt. musste sich das quintett auf seinem explosiven erstling > ... and its looking a lot like nothing at all< noch vergleiche mit landsleuten wie the (international) noise conspiracy, mando diao oder the hives gefallen lassen, so ist >silhouettes< weitaus eigenst?ndiger. mit produzent martin konie ehrencrona (u. a. the horror the horror) haben stompin souls ihren sound weiterentwickelt. so finden sich auf >silhouettes< synthiekl?nge, mellotron, fender rhodes und vibraphon, der sound wurde entzerrt, die songs ohne energieverlust transparenter arrangiert - von positiv treibend (>i wish i were you<), die welt umarmend (>let your love shine<) bis d?ster und ruhig (>a part of everything<) beweisen stompin souls stets stilsicherheit und ein gesp?r f?r songs, die lange im kopf nachhallen.

the right is the first 7inch to be taken from lou barlows new domino album goodnight unknown. lou barlow, legendary member of dinosaur jr and founder of sebadoh and the folk implosion, releases his first new music in over three years. the new music recalls vintage lou - upbeat, yet always yearning and endearing, memorable songs to break your heart. the 500 copies only 7inch comes backed by non album b side author.

a temporary sabbatical from gigs was taken and the band wrote material for where were you when it happened in new orleans midtown district, where their rawboned compositions resembled the katrina-pummeled surroundings. with their girlfriends with them in as close to a stableenvironment as they d been in months, they were able to tap a darker, more personal side in songs like as noise, and hunt you down, with its mournful, organ drenched air belying monotonixs typical good time charlie posturing, while fulfilling the albums need for a climactic, balladic moment. where were you when it happened? finds monotonix visiting a greater diversity of places within their sound while still retaining their minimal appeal. mostly though, where were you when it happened works up a sweat with raw rock and roll, acid guitar licks and riffs, screaming choruses and, in general, the wildness of monotonix in a way that makes for repeated album listening (and pummelling). where most bands refine their production sound as they go forward, monotonix have reverse refined themselves, playing dirtier and more energetic to capture the lightning they are known for.

hot new band thats redefining summer ska ? sunday times style. with kid british you are hearing new millennium uk. a walk in any city will give you the flavour of garage, the boom box explosion of hip hop, the specials rudeboy bonhomie, the clatter of indie ? and all this is incorporated into kid british. growing up in a multi cultural melting pot where pop music is up for grabs and is great fun. its all in there in a breathless eclectic mix.

monotonix are a punk trio from tel aviv. they formed in november 2005, set up on the floor of the club with the audience, and the party began. but the party usually got too wild, the power got cut, the cops were called and monotonix were banned from playing again almost everywhere. before long, they were looking for good places to play outside of israel - and they were delighted to find that there are more rock and roll party places outside of israel than inside! today, monotonix are the hardest working rock band in the world. sure, lots of other bands work up a sweat, but monontonix are definitely the only band who puts in the kind of miles they do, and they rock rings around pretty much the rest of us too. these guys do two different shows in two different towns on the same day whenever they can manage it. but thats only the tip of the hard working iceberg. body language sounds almost like a monotonix show. the only thing you cant hear is the sound of your heart beating in your ears after having been chased around the room by a vocalist with his pants literally on fire, then getting dousedwith beer and dancing your ass off to the guitar riffage, then ending it all by carrying the drummer around on your shoulders while a few other guys hold his kit up so he can keep drumming. you dont end up quite as out of breath when listening body language, but you do get a ton of excitement anyway, courtesy of a killer guitar sound, precision power drumming and lusty lead vocals. they recorded body language with tim green (of the fucking champs) at louder studios in san francisco. it twists and grooves with all the fun and fervor of great rock and roll.

as the title of their new full length recording suggests, green concorde is moving, and moving fast. the direction is one and one only: out!
be it from the dark star palm trees of miami, from the silvercoated buildings in the city of glass or from the claustrophobic humidity of their now abandoned rehearsal room in copenhagen, this outfit is running for safety. out where the stars look like arrows on fire. as they move, green concorde stays true to their pulsating post-punk brand, though some of the sounds characteristic noise has been distilled and filtered, leaving a more soft and atmospheric expression than the one characterizing their previous album, ten cities. and unlike ten cities, this album is not a result of hours spent in a cold rehearsal room in a humid basement. instead the nine songs were written under intimate and private forms, partly in the bandmembers own appartments in copenhagen, partly in a small cottage in the dark outskirts of denmark. the run has begun. are you ready to follow green concorde down the corridor, to the exit, through the gates, out into safety?

mit einem haufen guter kritiken im ruecken erscheint you re in the painting you saw, das debut des daenischen indie wunders lily electric, 2009 auch in deutschland. die in berlin lebende band veroeffentlicht ihr debut nach zwei jahren intensiven tourens und geht somit nicht mehr ganz unbekannt an den start. im februar 2009 waren lily electric gemeinsam mit slut unterwegs, viele festivalauftritte machten die band zwischen austin und riga bekannt. you re in the painting you saw entstand zusammen mit mikkel holtoug in einem alten radiostudio in berlin lichtenberg. gemischt hat dimitri tikovoi (john cale, placebo, the horrors).

die einmannband laesst den 60s rock wieder aufleben.

fausts neuntes studioalbum >c?est com ... com ... compliqu?< produzierte der soundt?ftler tobias levin. es wurde eingespielt von jean-herv? peron und werner zappi diermaier sowie amaury cambuzat (ulan bator). gewohnt dadaistische (meist franz?sische) texte begleiten sporadisch ausufernde, repetitive patterns. in der musik vereinen sich scheinbar widerspr?chliche attribute: sie ist wuchtig und sanft, monoton und melodisch, erdig und ?therisch - schlicht einzigartig.

the third album of keith richards best mates! - 180gram vinyl in heavy slipcase with printed full colour innersleeves and stickered with special guests: keith richards, ronnie wood, joe brown. all songs produced by pete brown and brian james (from the damned). a masterpiece...what a blast - mojo

alasdair roberts spoils album features alasdairs old hands from appendix out (tom crossley and gareth eggie) as well as free percussionist xtraordinaire alex nielson, noted baroque guitarist gordon ferries, emily maclaren, niko matti ahti (of finnish free pop duo kiila), and david mcguinness and alison mcgillivray (both of scotlands concerto caledonia), bringing a loose and lively mixture of drums, bass, piano, flute, glockenspiel, harpsichord, harmonium, viola, synthesizer, dulcimer, psaltery, hurdy gurdy, fiddle, and of course guitars and voices. spoils has a lot on deck, but its meted out evenly and with an intense energy, always in service of the songs, which are marked with some of alasdairs finest melodies. additionally, spoils ingratiates new compositions in a deeply personal manner with the world of traditional music that has sunk beyond the horizon for too many of us. it is a gift to these latter days that a man like roberts exists, to sing us back to our ancient home.

the seal cub clubbing club have a book club. say that five times fast and you deserve a prize. bizarrely enough, its true, this five piece band brings books on tour for fans to take away or add to. this obviously unique band is releasing their first single, dawn lamb from their upcoming debut album, entitled super science fiction, on 6th april.

the final record from oakland, cas psychedelic quartet, the gris gris, was recorded live at the warehouse where greg ashley resides. the twilight had come and the fat lady sang. the final bell tolled for the brightest sons of the oaklandish psychedelic revolution. here is the final piece to that hazy, mysterious, yet strangely familiar sound this band created. with songs from both records played with ferocity and sonic mayhem, the story of the gris gris is here. bright. swirling. gnarly. electric...

pissinboy was originally italian artist andrea pirovanos solo project, it became a duet when graham mushnik joined him a year ago. based in london, the band presents here four 3 chord harmonious scruntch pop songs they recorded in their basement. while the ep kicks off with a punchy minimal drum guitar track, always find you, it ends in a mellow mood of trumpet and choir. pirovanos songwriting is simple and strong, and mushnik is unstoppable.

folk rock song with excellent female vocals!!

a new essential release from the april77 combo. describing themselves as trash pop, this prolific avant garde indie band is always looking for more weird sonic experiences. what makes the songs different from the rest is that finberg finally found the right accomplices. the current incarnation allows him the perfect balance between the four track seclusion of his bedroom punk and the rough and tumble real world.

songs from the source is a lost and found 1973 recording of the source family. these twelve songs were recorded live in the hollywood hills as a rehearsal for a concert date that spirit of 76 - aka yahowah 13, the savage sons of yahowa, yodship, and firewaterair, now known as children of the sixth root race - had at the whisky. a 1/4 tape copy of the recording was found in chicago in 2006, though no one is really sure how it got there. djin aquarian, rhythm guitarist and songwriter for spirit of 76, recalls being sent on a mission to chicago later in 1973, where he believes he left the tape with an old friend. djin wrote most of the songs in the year before he joined with the source, as part of his solo mystical quest to help enlighten the world before it might annihilate itself, adding, im glad both the album and the world are still here.though this rehearsal wasnt meant to be released at the time, there are probably no other recordings as complete of the band doing these songs. the spirit of 76 had a different sound than the one yahowah 13 made with yahowa. songs from the source has more r n b grooved energy, with splashes of synth and organ, a female vocal chorus and streamlined fusion rhythms backing the uniquely yahowan lyrical populism of songs like godmen and lost dead but hoping. songs from the source is a miraculous missing piece of the sources positive musical movement. the members of yahowah 13 (djin, sunflower on bass, octavius on drums) were joined by family members ahom, aquariana, cinderella, rhythm, vibration, and zoroaster on lead guitar, to create the ecstatic sound of spirit of 76.

luscious, epic and british are not words you would usually associate with an emo band. but i was a cub scout are not your ordinary emo outfit - they re two hardcore souls with passion and emotion dripping out of every pore. and its this passion that has captivated audiences up and down the country. the duo, made up of todd marriott and william bowerman, have come a long way in the 18 months they ve been together. they ve supported bands like babyshambles, panic at the disco, editors and forward russia, played to packed out audiences at download and the carling reading and leeds festivals and made one of the most life affirming albums of 2008, i want you to know that there is always hope, which has been produced by hugh padgham . in a climate of indie band soup, i was a cub scout stand apart. a very british band raised on a diet of american music. a duo who manage the feat of being both indie and rock, punk and prog, small yet big...
