Tonbridge Junior U16 1 vs 0 Roselands FC.

21 Sep 2010 — Henning Lahmann

Report by Jonathan Comben.

Not the best game you'll ever see, but not bad for the first game of the season.

It was never going to be pretty, playing against your local rivals, and pretty it wasn't.

Both sides had a player booked, in a game that lacked a bit of quality but was full of passion. That said, the only goal of the game was all quality.

Good work from Connor Skillen (on debut), initially winning the ball, then laying off to Alex Davis. He quickly pinged it out wide right to Sam Themistocleous, who crossed into the six yard box, where Liam Ryan controlled, turned and slotted home.

Solid at the back, with Cameron Brown (also on debut) putting in a great shift.

Lots to work on in the coming weeks, but not a bad start.

Skeletor and Me.

20 Sep 2010 — Henning Lahmann

Our most admired Kansas slackers of Baby Birds Don't Drink Milk finally have a new release in the pipeline, their newest creative output Skeletor and Me will be thrown into the world from October 26 via no less than three different labels. The "dinosaur bedroom rock" band's first proper 12 inch can already be pre-ordered on Fire Talk's bigcartel site. For ya hipsters there's gonna be a cassette tape version via Drew of BBDDM's own Solid Melts as well as a rather conventional silver disc release by Workerbee Records. Below you can listen to one of the record's tunes. Last Night Sucked is an excellent example of BBDDM's brilliant approach to a hazier kind of rock and roll, establishing an instantly mind-blowing wall of sound while remaining unagitated and composed at its core, resulting in an absolutely pleasant slow burner.

In related news, NFOP is happy to announce that BBDDM and our equally beloved Katrina Stoneheart will hit Europe this November for a shared tour - dates, venues and further details soon on our pages.

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.

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.

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.

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).
