alexander palmestal was fifty procent of the electro duo pistol disco - a band that during the 00’s bustled around in the music scene of gothenburg and became known for having a certain sound and for their unpredictable and often magical live shows. the later incarnation of the band took a step away from the german 70’s influences to move towards a more club friendly universe. in 2015 the band released the 7inch goo/pool on hoga nord rekords which was their last release and now palmestal, under the name mythologen, make a release on hoga nord rekords.

air cushion finishsdistinctive sound palette reconciles pop music with experimental electronics, think alan bishop meets white noise (with a touch of super collider?) air cushion finish formed in berlin in 2007 and comprises of composer jayrope and natural vocal synthesizer lippstueck, who have graced berlin’s underground scene together since the 1990 s. lippstueck sings, wordless and backwards in time while his partner jayrope tends diy, electronic, string or percussion instruments small enough to fit into a small suitcase. changing setup and subsequently music is programmatic to the band, resulting into an unforeseeable slow motion cacophony of whispers, bleeps, rhythms and harmonies. theres a notion of dada, but you never know. the 8th album of acf marks their current state of poetical accident, swaying, swinging and bouncing, boldly careful, like a transparent tattoo on your forehead.

rastlosigkeit und isolation: die schwedische postpunk-band widmet sich der großstadt. die vinyl-lp erscheint inklusive album-cd.

vor nun mehr sieben jahren gaben sie uns das feuer der gaben, dann wurde es still. aber sie sind nicht komplett zu asche verbrannt. ein bisschen glut leuchtete still und heimlich im dunkel der vergangenheit vor sich hin, bis sich tobias siebert und seine band klez.e vor etwa einem jahr dazu entschlossen, das alte, ewige feuer neu zu entfachen. entstanden ist gleich ein ganzes album, das seine reise im jahr 1989 beginnt und seine hörer im hier und jetzt wieder ausspuckt. ein album, das seinen ausgangspunkt in eben jenem jahr nimmt, in dem nicht nur die mauer fiel und das sogenannte ende der geschichte ausgerufen wurde, sondern auch disintegration von the cure erschien. siebert, selbst im osten der republik groß geworden, und schon immer von westlicher new-wave und postpunk-beeinflusster popmusik begeistert, blickt in der echokammer der gegenwart zurück in die zeit der großen versprechen, die schon damals unerfüllt im hallraum der toms und den monotonen basslinen im disconebelnirvana verschwanden. versprechen auch einer befreiung, die in einem ideologiekritischen sinne vielleicht immer schon hohl waren, heute jedoch ferner scheinen denn je. folgerichtig nennen klez.e ihr viertes album desintegration, auflösung, zerfall. womöglich kein zufall.

life garden was formed in phoenix, arizona during the fall of 1989 by george dillon, su ling and w. david oliphant. the group was the reinvention of post-industrial band maybe mental (1982-1987) and delved into an ineffable territory, where language failed, their music found root. yogi says tip! life garden s sound focused on creating a space that would transcend people to a world of beauty, intensity and mystery. each release was loosely guided by one member, caught between the tapestry of silence and beauty (1991) was focused towards the poetry and vocals of george dillon who sadly passed away after the completion of the album.

nach der pianogetriebenen, kaum verhallten, trockenen und schwammfreien platte „melancholie & gesellschaft“ (2008) hat der künstler nun darauf verzichtet, ein jazzalbum, ein ambient-schichtenmodell oder einen anderen extremen selbstversuch zu starten.
„das ende der beschwerde“ ist popmusik mit großem schallraum, teilweise mit tatsächlicher, live-im-studio aufgenommener band, teilweise mit imaginierter gruppe, der man im kopf selbst die köpfe aufsetzen kann. „das ende der beschwerde“ ist eine ende-platte wie „lieder vom ende des kapitalismus“ (2006), es ist eine lieder-platte, weil zwölf lieder drauf sind (so wie auf „vierzehn lieder“ (2001) vierzehn lieder drauf waren), aber vor allem ist es eine problemlöse-platte. pop tut dies, pop tut das, hat man oft genug gehört – aber was pop eben wirklich immer tut, wenn er gut ist: eine utopie aufwerfen. möglichkeiten formulieren, unsere geschichte weiterspinnen.

fall of 2016 sees midnight magic ready to enchant us once more with the much-anticipated birth of their 2nd studio album, the wondrously eclectic free from your spell. going back to their roots in los angeles, morgan wiley, and tiffany roth, alongside the rest of the boogie nonet, have prepared a refined feast of genre-bending songs. the ever so diverse moods of free from your spell make it a seductive journey. with each song mixed seamlessly into the next, the record coalesces into one long disco odyssey, reminiscing giorgio moroder and donna summer s concept albums four seasons of love and a love trilogy. moods, genres, and styles intertwine like an aural kaleidoscope, the album electrifying with its striking harmony. whilst exuberantly borrowing from past decades, free from your spell more than holds its own as a self-assured, innovative body of work. midnight magics free from your spell is an offer one can t refuse. an attractive deal in the form of disco escapism, traveling through its various shades, emotions, and incarnations, a comprehensive revival of the genre for modern ears. it s studio 54, it s moroder,amanda lear, gino soccio, and grace jones. its a whole palette of 1980 s r n b and cosmic funk. despite all the music references of past eras free from your spell is very much a current album, a mature demonstration of genuine skills in songwriting, a multi-instrumental banquet of sounds, a coherent collection of ambitious dance tracks and a beautiful celebration of eclecticism. add to this some of tiffany roth s most memorable vocals to date and you arrive at one of the year s most exciting releases. there is a strong reason for both midnight and magic in the name of the band after all.

nostalgic, soulful and, of course, boogie-woogie. thats how belgian dj producer boogie belgique (aka oswald cromheecke) describes the enticing combination of styles and sources from different decades that make up his music. taking vintage inspirations, most notably from swing and jazz eras, and merging them with contemporary beats and textures is the young producers forte. this is pleasingly evident on volta, the latest boogie belgique album for the cold busted label. jungle law gives a glimpse into boogie belgiques sonic palette. tough hip hop beats and funky live guitar follow an intro of jungle ambience as a trumpet presents the melody. soon some swingy big band jazz enters the song in an almost ghostly manner, while the insistent beat keeps the dance floor moving. album opener go slow shows a different side to the coin giving the listener an uptempo broken beat rhythm, some bouncy bass guitar, snippets of string loops, and a lovely, forlorn vocal line that echoes the past. its a beautiful concoction, and boogie belgique delivers on many aspects of this style throughout his eleven track album. volta is a satisfying trip in an aural time machine.

landside is the collaboration between italian producers hunter/game and the icelandic band kura. the sound draws as much from the deep vibe and melancholy ambience of kuras reflective, dubby moods, as it does from the more insistent groove of hunter/game s dancefloor roots landside – signs of change ep signs of change is the fourth chapter of landsides journey through diverse sound researches that cross over to industrial ambients, basslines and a whirling melody accompained by a crescendo of sonorities that won’t release you from the flow. distance is a throw back voyage in a melodic orchestra of ethnic sonorities that elevate you to an esquisite and new dimension. luke hess remix, is a night bounce into into dub techno that will hypnotize you with its hazy yet enthralling use of vocals. kelpe remix is a deep and intense dreamlike hazy trip, accopanied by trippy melodies that melt with the voices of the original track.

vinyl only - round 2 for neukolln based boutique imprint xk after hauke freer s phenomenal first volume left heads baffled all over the place. this time, the label hands the a side to retro spook maniac matthias reiling, who opens with hand of hope, a tune that fuses an attitude-heavy, upright bass / piano theme with a cold hearted drum workout. strongly physical, sensitive, yet somewhat arrogant as we feel here. reiling twangs up his stratocaster on melodioso and explores the possibilities of sequencer based surf rock. you know, like a computer trying to be a backing band or the other way around. we can t help but imagine chris isaak singing under the shower to this one. the b side is freer territory once again, and hauke takes us deep into his realm of hypnotic, druggy dub-disco sculpting. reach out sucks you in, leaves you utterly disoriented and makes your mind paint a picture you would not have painted elsewhere. when you try to tell your friends, you can t find any words, yet it feels right and you all smile at each other.

with the opening track -i see you-, silent riders offer up a brilliant pop diamond combining all elements of their distinctive sound palette. lu’s soulful voice bounces off almost funky drum machines, all drenched in layers of dark analog ambience. on the lush -copenhagen dream-, lu channels a sense of brit-pop nonchalance into a political song about the state of her city. in contrast, -being afraid- sees the band in their hardest grittiest mode - with lu reminiscent of pj harvey at her most moody and the slow groove behind her like a factory machine beating and releasing steam. other highlights include the chilling -static- and the ethereal beauty of closing track -falling- which sees the riders in their most relaxed and dreamy state, and echoes the works of portishead and massive attack. a stunning debut - limited vinyl release - don’t miss.
