Wie schon gebloggt , werden Field Studies am kommenden Freitag, 27. Januar ihre Zahnpasta-Remix-Compilation Pop Is Not Dead Remixed im Sedel in Luzern veröffentlichen.

Nomadic Firs es sin duda uno de los proyectos que más he estado escuchando estos últimos días. Podrán recordar a Ryan Boos, buen amigo nuestro, y a sus pasados lanzamientos que hemos estado mencionando. Esta vez el músico nos trae, por pura diversión, un pequeño single que, como en el título se menciona, te pondrá [...]

In case you don’t live here, or haven’t seen us being made fun of in the international media: it’s been a snowy week in Seattle. The hilly roads have been swooping lines of pure white; the line of firs in my backyard still droop elegantly under the load of their slowly-melting coat. It’s been the [...]

Leur album est sorti aujourd’hui. Zigitros est le premier album éponyme du duo suisse composé de Alban et Christian. Il font partie de la famille de Oh, Sister Records avec d’autres groupes locaux, dont Silver Firs dont nous avons déjà parlé sur Vocododo . Ils décrivent leurs musiques comme de la future folk. C’est une assez bonne description, en fait il y a vraiment deux couches dans leurs chansons. La première est composé d’accords folk joués par les guitares, la deuxième est plein de petits effets électroniques, et de petits détails qui renforcent leurs morceaux. On peut ...

As something of a forgotten entity within the local Scottish scene, Broken Records’ home town show is observed by the packed out Cabaret Voltaire with a hushed reverence. Having not long returned from a summertime American tour and showcasing a variety of new material, this recent batch of gig dates within their homeland may indicate [...]
