Float Proudly Welcomes Their Second Artist Into The Fold. Uk
Electronic Artist And Szun Waves Band Member Luke Abbott, Presents
A Special 10-track Album To Celebrate Piano Day 2019 - An
International Event Series Initiated By Nils Frahm Which Acts As A Platform For Piano-related Projects. it's A Very Self-contained Body Of Work, I Haven't Ever Made Music With This Kind Of Sound Pallet Before - Luke Abbott 'music From The Edge Of An Island' Sees Abbott Divert From His Typically Experimental Electronic Style To Explore A More Compositional Approach Centred Around Vst Instruments. Rather Than The Usual Themes Of Synthesis And Improvisation, The Album Is Lead By Piano Motifs, Structured Around Emotive Melodies And Sparkling Arrangements. The Record Began As A Part Of A Soundtrack Commission By Producer / Actor Jessica Hynes For Her Film 'the Fight' And Ultimately Became A Fully-realised Album. The Film Script Had A Coastal Setting That Created The Record's Thematic Idea: i Had This Idea About Being On The Edge Of England, Almost Ready To Fall Off A Cliff Into The Sea But Keeping Your Balance On The Edge.
The Idea Of Writing For The Piano Had Been Ruminating For Some Months As Abbott Found Himself Spending An Increasing Amount Of Time Playing On The Instrument. Without A Piano Of His Own Though, He Found A Strangely Enchanting Way To Fulfil His Creative Impulse. i Used To Have An Upright Piano, But I'd Given It Away When I Last Moved House, So I Ended Up Using A Piano Vst In The Computer, Which I Actually Really Enjoyed. Writing The Music Became A Bit Of A Weird Fantasy Process, I Was In An Odd Headspace
For A Few Days. The Writing Process Was Remarkably Quick, Resulting In Simple Yet Inspired Pieces That Subtly Blur The Lines Between Midi Computer Music And Live Performance. 'music From The Edge Of An Island' Can Be Seen As A Collection Of Gentle Reveries That Sway Between The Twilight Hours, Marked By Moments Of Soft, Contemplative Ballads And More Active And Expansive Motions. Opening Track 'sea' Begins With A Mysterious Piano Waltz Before Unnerving Synth Drones Take Over. 'island Continues With Piano Triplet Figures Plus Added Orchestration Of Cello Strokes And Airy Glass Pads, efore Heading Into The Melancholic 'tree', Bringing In More Strings And dded Pathos Heard In The Restless Piano Motif. Quieter Passages Are ontrasted With The Gamelan-esque 'moments' And The Uplifting 'on Rope', hilst More Lyrical Moments On The Album Can Be Found In Tracks Such As 'adjustment' And Closing Track 'a Different Tree'. 'music From The Edge Of An Island' Will Be Released On Piano Day, March 29th On Lp, Ltd Edition Lp And Digital Via Float. Every Record Will Contain A 'how To Take Care Of Your Piano Guide' Which Has Been Specially Commissioned For The Release. The Guide Is Informative As Well As Lighthearted And Follows The 'how To Take Care Of Your Vinyl Guide', That Accompanied Float's First Record Release. Luke Abbott Will Also Perform With Jack Wyllie On Float's Piano Day Event Alongside A Lineup That Includes Reeps One And Float Artist Andrea Belfi At The Town Hall Hotel In Bethnal Green.

Today sees London's very own brazen popstar GIRLI announce her debut album Odd One Out, due on 5th April via PMR/Virgin EMI. The highly anticipated debut album 'Odd One Out' was co-written by GIRLI with various collaborators such as Fast Friends and MNDR / Peter Wade (Charli XCX, Brooke Candy) written and recorded in Los Angeles.

'Odd One Out' follows from GIRLI's Hot Mess EP and features fan favourites Day Month Second, Hot Mess and Young. The 8-track album marks the new mature alt-pop sound from GIRLI. Drawing inspiration from real life experiences 'Odd One Out' explores identity and the difficulties of adolescence.

When you walk alone, you're never lost. At least, that's the operating principle behind Homeshake, the recording project of Peter Sagar. Over his first three albums, Sagar followed his own idiosyncratic vision, a journey that's taken him from sturdy guitar-based indie-pop to, on 2017's Fresh Air, a bleary-eyed take on lo-fi R&B. Now, with Helium, Sagar is putting down roots in aesthetic territory all his own. Landscape that he once viewed from a distance now forms the bedrock of his sound, and from here, he looks back out at the world as if through a light fog, composing songs that feel grounded and intimate, even as they explore a dispersed feeling of isolation.

It's a feeling that comes through not only in the gauziness of the production, but also in the vulnerability of the songs themselves. Sagar began writing Helium shortly after completing Fresh Air, and in the middle of what he calls a 'binge' reading of Haruki Murakami. It's not hard to picture the narrator of these songs as a distinctly Murakamian character: He moves through time by himself, bemused by and insulated from a world he doesn't quite seem to have been made for. Everyone Sagar encounters here — including himself — seems to be a step removed from present reality, whether by technology ('Anything At All'), solitude ('Just Like My'), or sweet fantasy ('Like Mariah'). The record is stitched together by a series of instrumental interludes, synthesizer explorations whose haziness adds to the suspicion that this is all an uncanny dream.

Which isn't to say that Sagar is unmoored in his own world. In fact, much of Helium is the result of what he calls 'a much clearer mental state' than the one he'd experienced shortly following Fresh Air's completion. 'I had a better idea of the sound that was working for this record and what it was turning into as I was writing the songs,' he says. That's owing in part to the album's genesis. Where his previous three records were recorded directly to one-inch tape in a local studio, Helium was recorded and mixed by Sagar alone in his apartment in Montreal's Little Italy neighborhood between April and June of this year. Freed of the rigid editing process he'd endured before, he was able to lose himself in pursuit of tone and texture. 'I didn't have to book time, compete for good hours, wait on availability. I did a lot of it at home in the middle of the night,' he says. 'It made me get more obsessive about details.'

A budding interest in ambient and experimental music — particularly Visible Cloaks, DJs Paypal and Rashad, and Jlin — pushed him to tinker with the micro-sounds that surround the songs here. It's a process he found creatively invigorating; even the tinkling boom-bap of Young Thug informs 'All Night Long.' It's a far cry from the chorus-laden guitars of his earlier work. 'Ever since I started introducing synthesizers into my music, I've gotten more interested in texture,' he says. 'I'd hit a creative dead end with guitars, so synths took over.' The warm chords of a Roland Juno 60 form the album's base, and gave him a clean palette with which to work. 'No tape hiss, no humming power outlets and shitty mixing boards,' as he puts it. 'Everything just came out nice and pure.'

Still, for all the growth it demonstrates, Helium is at its core a singer-songwriter's record made by someone who doesn't feel beholden to any particular set of sounds, textures, or instruments to get his point across. In that sense, it feels closer to the bone, at once assured of its vision and remarkably vulnerable. It's perhaps our purest view yet of Homeshake's home country.

New album from London-based Dutch-Zimbabwean pop
innovator Rina Mushonga.
Mushonga doesn't follow a linear path. The artist's music -
a blend of Afropop, indie and electro flourishes - is
informed by her own zigzagging life journey: Mushonga
emigrated from Zimbabwe to the Netherlands, then to the
diverse South London suburb of Peckham, where she now
lives and works.
Having read 'Metamorphoses' for the first time,
Mushonga's self-confessed 'year of transformation' ensued,
drawing upon myriad ideas and personal experiences.
Full of reflections on the cosmos and our place within it,
'In A Galaxy' is the musical embodiment of these musings,
whilst Mushonga also admits there's more than a passing
nod to the opening text on 'Star Wars' but on the whole
refers to how relative space and time are in how we
interact.
Four years in the making, 'In A Galaxy' was recorded in
Mushonga's adopted home in Peckham with producer Brett
Shaw, whilst having laid much of the foundations of the
tracks together with musical bestie and synth whisperer
Frans Verburg in his Rotterdam basement studio. The
resultant cornucopia of intelligent, diverse pop - that
Mushonga herself describes as sounding like 'Paul Simon
in a sweaty, African dancehall club' - is a welcome
introduction to 2019.
LP pressed on pink vinyl

ELSEWHERE CDXLIV is the third in soFa's carefully compiled series and the second release on the promising Brussels based Crevette Records. An exciting double LP containing 8 tracks which take the listener to a versatile journey from digital reggae over tropical balearic vibes to boogie and wave. Music which moves between styles, cultures and timezones, this time with a warmer overall flavor. A mind bending trip where 80's drum patterns bring you to exotic tribal workouts and where silky smooth synth lines lead to funky bass grooves. A spaced out affair for lovers of slow grooving music from elsewhere.

With "Being Water" Lali Puna refine their distinctive take on pop and electronics, pushing the boundaries towards classical songwriting. The four songs - equally affecting and catchy as self-reflected and aloof - are complemented by the airy tripiness of a remix by Dave DK (Kompakt, Pampa Records).

Although singer Valerie Trebeljahr wrote "Being Water" mostly by herself, being backed by bandmates Christian Heiß and Christoph Brandner, she rejects the idea of authorship: "Nothing comes out of myself. I'm a sampler: I write music because I listen to music. And I write lyrics because I read". Accordingly, topics and references of "Being Water" vary quite widely: "Who's That Genius" pays tribute to Virginia Woolf and Madonna - and questions why the term 'genius' is still connoted primarily with maleness. The title track refers to the famous Bruce Lee quote "Be formless, shapeless, like water" - but here it is turned upside down: It was Hito Steyerl's video work "Liquidity Inc." that got Valerie's attention, re-reading the quote as a neoliberal paradigm. In contrast, a title like "For Only Love" might sound a little naive as Valerie claims - but: "It surely won't be hate that will save us all". The lyrics were written after watching Obaidah Zytoons and Andreas Dalsgaards documentary "The War Show".

"Diversity is queen" - this goes for the music as well. While the dreamy pop of "Who's That Genius" or the catchy guitar loops of "Being Water" are in the same vein of Lali Puna's earlier albums, the free-floating piano chords and tricky rhythm patterns of "Beatx" in some ways mark new territory as Valerie explains: "I am very proud of this song because it is so fiddly. I thought that was something reserved for men".

Wewantsounds Is Pursuing Its Ambitious Akiko Yano Reissue Program With The Release Of "japanese Girl", Her Landmark Debut Album From 1976. Backed By Little Feat With Lowell George And By The Cream Of Japanese Musicians (including Haruomi Hosono), Japanese Girl Is One Of The Most Important Japanese Albums Of The 70s, Mixing Pop, Rock, Japanese Folk Together With Little Feat's Superb Classic Sound. This Is The Very First Time The Album Is Released Internationally. The Deluxe Lp Edition Includes Remastered Sound, Tip-on Lp Sleeve, Download Card Plus The Original 4-page Insert With Lyrics And Full Line-up!
When Akiko Suzuki Left Her Home Town Of Aomori For Tokyo In The Early 70s Aged Just 15 To Become A Professional Musician, She Quickly Started Making Waves On The Local Music Scene Performing At The Jazz Club Rob Roy. In 1973 She Released A 7" With The Group Zariba And Caught The Attention Of A&r Man Koki Miura. She Then Recorded One Song, "oinaru Shiino-ki" With Haruomi Hosono On Bass And Drummer Tatsuo Hayashi (who Features On Many Hosono Albums And Also Hiroshi Sato's 1979 Album Orient) With A Full Album In Mind.

After A Marriage With Musician/producer Makoto Yano And The Birth Of Her Son (named Fuuta), Yano And Her Team Resumed The Recording Of The Album And Decided To Pitch Little Feat For A Collaboration As She Loved The Group. Against All Odds They Said Yes And Yano Left Tokyo For Los Angeles In March 1976 To Record A Full Side With Them. The Legend Has It They Found It So Difficult To Keep Up With Yano's Compositions They Returned Some Of Their Fee. The Session Was Nevertheless Stunning And Lowell George Even Compared Yano To Stevie Wonder. The Little Feat Blend Of New Orleans Groove Matched Yano's Melodies Perfectly, As Witnessed On "funamachi-uta Part 2." Originally A Traditional Song From The Nebuta Festival In Her Hometown Of Aomori (part I On Side 2 Gives A Good Idea Of What The Original Form Sounds Like), The Little Feat Version Is A Formidable Slow-funk Workout Not Dissimilar To Their Classic, "spanish Moon", Serving Yano's Beautiful Vocals And Sense Of Groove To Perfection. The Whole Side Is A Match Made In Heaven, Showcasing The Classic Little Feat Line Up At Their Funkiest With Yano's Unique Japanese Twist.

The Japanese Side On The Album Gives A Great Snapshot Of The Tokyo Music Scene Of The 70s With Many Musicians Gravitating Around Haruomi Hosono (and Present On His 1973 Classic Album 'hosono House' Including Sound Engineer Kinji Yoshino) And Also Several Musicians From Japanese Band, The Moonriders.

Recorded At The Legendary Onkyo Haus Studio In Tokyo, The Sessions Mix Singer-songwriter Sensitivity And Pop With Traditional Japanese Sounds And Instruments Like The Shinobue Transverse Flute, The Koto String Instrument Or The Tsuzumi Hand Drum As Played On "hekoriputaa" By The Legendary Percussionist Kisaku Katada Who Was Appointed Living National Treasure By The Japanese State In 1999; Together They Create A Beautiful East-meets-west Mix Masterfully Driven By Yano's Creativity And Unique Talent.

A Breathtaking Debut Album That Made Akiko Yano One Of The Most Important Artists To Emerge From The 70s, Japanese Girl Has Since Become A Milestone In Japanese Music With A Recent Documentary On Nhk Tv Telling The Whole Story Behind This Classic. Wewantsounds Is Now Proud To Present This Essential Album To The Rest Of The World.

2018 Vinyl Remaster. Von Jan Jelinek kompilierte Werkschau der legendären musizierenden Pharmazeutin.
Die Geschichte der Entdeckung dieser Aufnahmen klingt abenteuerlich. Es soll Ursula Bogners Sohn
Sebastian gewesen sein, der auf einem Flug seinem Sitznachbarn, dem Elektronikmusiker Jan Jelinek, vom
ungewöhnlichen Hobby seiner Mutter berichtete. Ursula Bogner, 1946 in Dortmund geboren, dann in Berlin
als Pharmazeutin bei einem großen Pharmaunternehmen beschäftigt, hatte ein Faible für elektronische Musik
und die Musique concrète. Ab Ende der 60er-Jahre nahm sie eigene Stücke auf, die sie jedoch nie
veröffentlichte. Bogner war stark von den pseudowissenschaftlichen Energietheorien Wilhelm Reichs
("Orgon") beeinflusst und bastelte sich einen eigenen Orgon-Akkumulator. 1994 verstarb Ursula Bogner.
2008 veröffentlichte Jan Jelinek unter dem Titel "Recordings 1969-1988" eine erste Werkschau Bogners, die
jetzt als remasterte Vinyl Version wieder veröffentlicht wird.

OVERVIEW: To celebrate 40 years since their formation in Leeds in 1978, Soft Cell, aka Marc Almond and Dave Ball, release some brand-new remixes this summer on their own Big Frock imprint.

Soft Cell have been synonymous with the club scene since their debut single release Memorabilia in 1981, (produced by Mute Records' Daniel Miller) which is widely cited by many dance music luminaries as the first ever acid house record. The band cut their teeth and built their notoriety in clubs across the world, from Leeds Warehouse right across the Atlantic to New York's legendary Danceteria. Second single Tainted Love/Where Did Our Love Go went on to become one of the biggest club (and chart) hits of all time, reaching Number 1 in 17 countries later in 1981. The first true electronic UK duo, the band have sold over 30 million records throughout their career and have been covered or sampled by artists as diverse as Rihanna, Nine Inch Nails, a-Ha and Marilyn Manson, and well as influencing many others. The EP features remixes chosen by two internationally-renowned UK DJs, both massive fans of Soft Cell. Hifi Sean has remixed Insecure Me, B side to 1982 single Torch, as well as So, flip side to the single What. Jon Pleased Wimmin has remixed one of Soft Cell's earliest compositions, A Man Could Get Lost.

While intended as a club tool for DJs, Soft Cell are making available a strictly limited number of the 12' picture disc EP, for their fans, on a first come, first served basis. These mixes will not be released on any other format, and do not feature on the upcoming Keychains & Snowstorms: The Soft Cell Story box set.

Welcome vinyl reissue for percussionist Michael Shrieve's acclaimed Cosmic masterpiece 'Transfer Station Blue'. A supremely talented drummer who worked with Santana on their first eight albums, Shrieve joined forces with German electronic legend Klaus Schulze to produce this dazzling experimental odyssey in 1984. The 12 minute long title cut is the most sought-after by the Cosmic cognoscenti - an infectiously nasty space funk groove that was one of the standouts of Harvey's famous Sarcastic mix but the rest of the album is fantastic too including the compelling hypnotic drum/synth dreamscape 'Communique: 'Approach Spiral', the blissful guitar and synth fusion of 'View From the Window' and 'Nucleotide', a more wild and experimental atmospheric piece. Superb release.

Tommy Guerrero is a Legend. A true activist, a pioneer, since the early 80's he contributed to bring skateboard culture to today's global inspiration. He mixed both his passions, music and skateboard to write his unique story.

Ed Banger records' owner Pedro Winter who followed Guerrero's career since 1989 was dreaming of a collaboration with Tommy. He asked the multi task skater to dig into his cassette tapes and trip with his drum machines. A way to push the artist to produce some more repetitive and minimal tracks.

DUB TUNES is the result of the meeting of two open minded people driven by the passion of music and skateboarding. Tommy Guerrero offers 5 tracks to Ed Banger records. Mixing post-industrial noise, dub echoes and folky routines. TG signs a one of a kind record, full of human emotions mixed with computerized beats.

To complete this EP, another multi task artist came on board. Trevor Jackson known for his undisputed contribution to Dance Music

Roots and Wings is the fourth studio album by the Belgian band Vaya Con Dios, released in 1995. Singer Dani Klein worked together with different studio musicians and the American Muscle Shoals Horns to record this album. The songs are all easy listening and gives you the perfect feeling for those rainy days.

Vaya Con Dios was founded in 1986 by Dirk Schoufs, Dani Klein and Willy Lambregt. They had some international success with songs like "Just A Friend Of Mine", "What's a Woman" and "Puerto Rico". In 2013 they started their farewell tour which ended on 25 October 2014 in Brussels.

Roots and Wings is available as a limited edition of 750 individually numbered copies on transparent vinyl.

Reissue from 1982, amazing obscure reggae bomb, vocoder, originally co-written by Miami Vice main actor Philip Michael Thomas. Official remastered reissue. Limited 300 copies.

Icons Karen O and Danger Mouse unveil their debut recording as a duo, 'Lux Prima,' today—listen here. The song, out today on BMG, is the first to be released from a forthcoming joint album.

'Lux Prima is the first song we wrote for the record,' says O. 'After making music for the past twenty years and embarking on making this record with Danger Mouse I knew a couple things: one was that the spirit of collaboration between us was going to be a pure one, and two was that the more I live the less is clear to me. When you create from a blurry place you can go places further than you've ever been. I think we both were excited to go far out.'

Atmosphere EP is Rising Sun`s fifth release on Fauxpas Musik and we can say quite safely that Steffen Laschinski fueled a few identifiable obsessions over the years for those familiar with his work. it probably won't feel like uncharted territory when they'll hear the title-track.

Vinyl tastes better

The seventh album, The Night Before, by the Belgian band Hooverphonic marks a new period in their existence. Singer Geike Arnaert is replaced by Noémie Wolfs, after Geike quitted the band to started her own career. Their choice for Noémie works out pretty well, shifting between the low and high registers. The vulnerability of the pureness of her voice can be felt all over the record. The pop rock songs are a little bit more handmade for the mass, but still in a good way.

The Night Before is available as a limited edition of 1.000 individually numbered copies on transparent red vinyl.

LP DELUXE EDITION includes: Pink vinyl / Poster / Redeem code, Ltd to 300 copies, LP includes redeem code / Ltd to 700 copies - PRAED's fourth album. This is the ultimate kit to prepare calmly for the sixth extinction! The Lebanese duo delivers a raging interpretation of the chaabi - popular Arabic music - using synthesizers, drum Machines, samples and other devices. The result is hypnotic and psychedelic, on the verge of trance. The clarinet of Paed Conca and the soaring lyricism of Raed Yassin sound like distant calls for help emerging from a world that is falling apart and slipping away. The record itself is enhanced by its sleeve - designed by the Lebanese artist Raphaëlle Macaron - printed in 5 Pantone colors making it as explosive as the music.

Nude ist das 4. Album der englischen Popband Dead or Alive. Nach der Trennung von ihrem
erfolgreichen Produktionsteam Stock-Aiken-Waterman, übernahmen die Bandmitglieder Pete
Burns und Steve Co die Kontrolle über das Schiff. Sie haben eine treffsichere Veröffentlichung
geschaffen, die den Großteil ihrer hoch attraktiven und energiegeladenen Dance-, Pop- und Euro
Disco-Musik aufgreift.
Die großen Hits aus diesem Album waren Turn Around And Count 2 Ten und Come Home With
Me Baby; beide eine elektrisierende Fusion von Electronica-Beats und tanzbaren Rhythmen.
Eine Sache, die dieses Album so bemerkenswert macht, ist die Tatsache, dass jeder Song in den
nächsten übergeht und den vorherigen perfekt begleitet.
Dead or Alive waren Mitte der 80er Jahre erfolgreich und verkauften über 50 Millionen Platten
weltweit. Gründer und Sänger Pete Burns verstarb 2016. Nachfolgend löste sich die Band auf.

Imogen Heap, Jahrgang 1977, ist eine britische Sängerin, Komponistin, Musikerin und
Musikproduzentin aus Essex, England. Sie wurde unter ihrem eigenen Namen als Soloartist und
gemeinsam mit Guy Sigsworth durch das Projekt Frou Frou bekannt.
Imogen Heaps zweites Album Speak for Yourself verbindet ihre starke Stimme mit elektronischen
Soundscapes und alternativen Rockklängen. Die Sängerin von Frou Frou schuf mit ihren Songs
eine Atmosphäre der Verwundbarkeit, die sich über das gesamte Album erstreckt. Darauf sucht sie nach
verschiedenen Wegen, ihre Gefühle zu erkunden. Bei der Hit-Single Hide and Seek zeigt sie
Minimalismus in Reinform.
Goodnight and Go lebt durch ein beeindruckendes Gitarrensolo des legendären Gitarristen Jeff Beck
auf. Speak for Yourself ist ein All-in-One-Paket, bei dem die Musik für sich selbst spricht.

IDA007 is a vinyl release entitled 'Pagan Rave EP' by label's co-founders Uninc & Kolomensky coming up from the emerging Moscow scene.

Title track opens EP with breakbeat groove, flute solos and slavic vocals combined with progressive and acid lines to deliver unexpected mix of pagan folk music and rave rhythms.

'Ancient Tool' is another original track on the A-side with tribe vocal samples combined with acid and punchy rhythm section filled up with bongos to create a dancefloor oriented DJ tool with ancient flavor.

On the remix duties at the B-side are Ransom Note's craftsman Timothy Clerkin with slow atmospheric and meditative version of 'Pagan Rave' and quickly emerging Olsvangèr from Tel-Aviv who delivers weird oriental progressive club banger made up from the 'Ancient Tool'. Overall there is an 12'' saturated with different vibes neatly crafted and mixed together for a wide range of feelings for the listener and tools for the DJ.

Sydney Valette has earned a solid reputation among post-punk scene of Paris. 'Space and Time' is a sample of his very upcoming new album. Minimal synthetic maneuvers combined with sharp guitars for a perfect modern dark sound, probably his best studio work to date. It arrives presented on 12 EP format and produced in a ONE-OFF truly limited edition of 300 copies lacquered pressed on 180 gr. high quality solid WHITE vinyl. All tracks have been specially remastered for LONG CUT vinyl by Eric Van Wonterghem.

The new limited edition EP by Zola Jesus sees Nika Roza Danilova revisiting a pair of songs from her acclaimed 2017 album, Okovi, alongside prolific composer and musician Johnny Jewel (Chromatics). In a nod to the maxi singles of the 1980s, the album features multiple remixed versions of the two songs, 'Ash to Bone' and 'Wiseblood.' The track 'Wiseblood (Johnny Jewel Remix)' is featured in the soundtrack to the film Beautiful Boy, directed by Felix Van Groeningen and starring Timothée Chalamet and Steve Carell.

Bremen finds two luminaries of the Swedish punk underground, Jonas Tiljander (Brainbombs) and Lanchy Orre (Totalitär, Brainbombs, Teenage Graves, etc), coming together to explore the dark side of kraut and progressive rock, early electronic and drone music, whilst also invoking the fathomlessly bleak interior landscapes conjured by Nico/Cale on The Marble Index and Desertshore.

'Following a trio of sprawling, planet-gargling double-LPs, 2013's self-titled LP on Skrammel, and Second Launch (2015) and Eclipsed (2017) on Blackest Ever Black, Bremen - J. Tiljander and Lanchy, previously best known for their contributions to Brainbombs' long rapsheet of genius-and- brutality, but latterly exponents of a rarefied cosmic melancholy - return with Enter Silence, their most concise, and powerful, album to date. Once again the Uppsala multi-instrumentalists combine elements of trogged-out psychedelic rock with a deadly serious Arctic minimalism and weeping modal improvisations that owe more to the outer limits of jazz and burnt-out free music from Japan. It's connoisseur's space music, grown-up and grievously honed; outwardly inclined towards the epic but studded with details that reward attention and introspection. There's always been a strong undercurrent of sadness animating Bremen's work, and that existential burden is present and correct on Enter Silence, culminating in the all-out cosmic anguish of 'Palladium'. Even 'The Middle Section', whose ragged chords are nothing if not the sound of optimism and defiance, sounds like it's navigating some kind of unsayable trauma. But this band has always allowed plenty of room for bonehead slash-and-burn as well: see here especially the Stoogeian/39 Clocks-ish rock'n'roll of 'Aimless Cruising' and the pulpy quasi-cinematic tension of 'Sinister', or the brilliant 'Too Cold For Your Eyes', a blast of voidal motorik that sounds like a cranked-up Clean. It's a cold, cold world out there'

Nothing more to say!

Quite a few months have passed since Adam Port released his last original material on Keinemusik. It's been almost too long. But then again, every expert will confirm, you won't see a Sonnenfinsternis' every other week.

Port's new EP is going under the name of that very astronomical curiosity and accordingly, the like-titled cut on A can only be the result of a rare cosmic constellation. It starts with a spoken word field recording. Could it be, someone secretly recorded parts of the internal pre-release labelmeeting We'll leave that to your imagination. But then, all solid facts. A forceful beat, decorated with hihat-hiss, stoically pounding synthbass, rattling snare-staccato and space-opening synth-layers. Finally, some siren's wailing, just in case someone didn't get the immediacy of this material. Classy floor substance, that is, with the scarcity value of an eclipse.

Working For It', as the first track on the flipside, is rather going for the deeper realms. This coproduction with Jennifer Touch, a singer/producer that just moved from Leipzig to Berlin, is built up on a cosy, warm synth-priming, that Touch congenially contrasts with her undercooled wavy vocals. An emotional rollercoaster, if you will.
And added to that, also the B2 originates from bilateral relations between Berlin and Leipzig. Tonight' was originally shaped by Good Guy Mikesh's Wave-Pop-project Here Is Why and should still be resonating from its initial release on KM018. Port, who regularly features the tune in his sets, now delivers a DJ-friendly, more accentuated version of this timeless classic.
