never ones to stand still dons rainbow marks a quantum leap for seahawks, the first release on new label ocean moon and the first recording from the invisible sunrise sessions. invisible sunrise is the forthcoming album from seahawks and the first to be recorded with live musicians rather than a hard drive full of dusty old samples. the results are stunningly original, not least on this track with new york head autre ne veut. anvs debut album last year on olde english spelling bee was an incredible rush of warped r&b, 80s synths, amazing songs and what has to be one of the most innovative voices to emerge in the last 5 years. since then hes released a great ep on hippos in tanks, played some mind bending live shows and guested on the ford & lopatin album. dons rainbow sounds like michael mcdonalds sweet freedom crossed with nite flight era walker brothers. a fantastic piece of hazy avant pop with jan hammer pulse wave synths, yah mo b there drums and fuzz drenched spirals of soprano sax and guitar colliding with the sound of soul from outer space. on the flip the dub takes the track into a world of shadows, where smeared washes of sound swim in an ocean of decay. as always with seahawks releases the packaging is beautiful. heavyweight vinyl in a full colour sleeve, with full colour labels. the last seahawks release sold out in days, we expect this one to do the same, so get your skates on!

dorninger (who has chosen the prickly project-name >dorn< which means >thorn< in english) gets presented on this vinyl in his proven quality as an accomplished sound-explorer all across electronic soundscapes. you will find a range from dance-tracks containing fluffy breakbeats, psychotically screwed basses and flogging electric shocks (hard timz, my little synthpopinferno, la batteria della noce) to the point of impulsive (no) wave rave (crying) as well as nervous chill-in-grooves (night oh night). due to the fact that an album-cover provides space for 2x30x30cm art it is more than obvious that houztekk came in touch with the vienna based artist julie monaco as the houztekk crew admired her work since a certain period of time. as well this was the reason that maximilian m. contacted julie monaco telling her that a record which perfectly corresponds with her graphics is in planning.
