Then Eats Them.

20 Sep 2010 — Henning Lahmann

More amazing news from the highly prolific, seriously underestimated but apparently also pretty incestuous Albuquerque, New Mexico music scene: The self-proclaimed "meditative psychedelic post folk" collective Yoda's House (our beloved Emma Crane and Bruce Hample are members) are about to release a new tape named Then Eats Them via our dearest Kansas label Solid Melts. Make sure you get yourself a copy of this absolutely tempting blend of saturnine and pretty forward thinking experimentalist sounds. Pre-order here.

Sunday insomnia.

20 Sep 2010 — Henning Lahmann

Hushed and fragile folk pop songs together with Emma Crane as the wonderful Elephant Paintings. Experimental drone ambient sounds under the recording moniker Hedia. Albuquerque's Bruce Hample is a man of many creative faces, and with his latest project Reighnbeau which essentially is him alone again with some live backing by Ty Ryder and Maxwell Richardson, Hample sets foot into his darkest territory to date, slowly enchanting and disturbing lullabies that might keep you up all night.

Reighnbeau's debut C34 tape is now available directly via the artist's myspace. A full length is in the works.

Biology class.

20 Sep 2010 — Henning Lahmann

Sample heavy and blissed out jams from the southern realms to give you some well deserved Sunday evening distraction. Forest Spirits is a one man endeavour by Liam Fitzpatrick, a 20 year old biology student hailing from Auckland, NZ, and Summer Sleep and Storm Clouds both revolve astutely around chopped up and alienated samples resulting in two nicely chilling yet intriguing pieces of electronica.

The lonely ocean roar

19 Sep 2010 — Tonje Thilesen

I promised I had some more Norwegian music in hand for you all, didn't I? This is Therese Aune, one of my favorite female Norwegian singer-songwriters (now based in Copenhagen), making lovely, dreamlike indie pop spiced up by her strong, piercing vocals. Think of her as a more melancholic Regina Spektor, inspired by the nordic tunes of our own Moddi, whom also happens to be in her circle of friends (which doesn't really surprise me).

Download her demo for free here.

In and Out.

19 Sep 2010 — Henning Lahmann

Our favourite Burlington, Vermont girl Erin Cavellier aka Lady Lioness who we'd brought to your ears for the first time in July has finally put up a new song on her bandcamp, and In and Out is a very welcome reminder of why we admire her intimate and hushed bedroom folk so much, sparsely instrumented melancholy carried by Erin's simply beautiful voice.

Impossible Love.

18 Sep 2010 — Henning Lahmann

The wonderful Irvine, California garage pop outfit Tan Dollar return with a bunch of fine new pieces of ear candy that will soon be available on tape, among them the sweet jangling guitar happy hummingbird named Impossible Love, something most likely only folks from the Golden State can come up with without blushing - and that's exactly why we love this music scene so unrestrainedly.
