Welcome RoundMusic — a San Francisco-based company that got its start promoting house music parties, but has expanded to an eclectic record label. For their first release, RoundMusic is putting out a split 7-inch with two highly energetic, local indie pop bands: Rykarda Parasol and Mister Loveless. The split includes two previously unreleased Rykarda Parasol [...]

Rykarda digs deep into the struggle of artistic creation which is exemplified by this seminal album by Greg Dulli and company.

Rykarda does it her way, releasing a stunning rock-noir album that showcases her stark, intimate, and darkly mysterious vocals, lyrics, and music.

Καθόλου Πασχαλιάτικη, σίγουρα όμως ανοιξιάτικη η συλλογή του Μαρτίου.. 1. Casey Chandler - Lost Generation [zs] Ο Casey Chandler χρησιμοποιεί το όνομα Galapaghost για το one man project του, αλλά προτίμησα να παρουσιάσω το θαυμάσιο Lost Generation με το κανονικό του όνομα για προφανείς λόγους [είναι ο μοναδικός πραγματικός Chandler που ξέρω]. Η σύνθεση και ο τρόπος που τραγουδά ο Casey σ'αυτό το τραγούδι μου θύμισαν πολύ τον Zac Pennington των Parenthetical Girls.. 2. Summer Cats - TV Guide [zs] Η επιστροφή της παρέας από τη Μελβούρνη. Αλήθεια, υπάρχουν ακόμη TV Guides? 3. Acrylics - All Of The Fire [zs] Γιατί μέχρι ...

Photo Credit Sterling Andrews @ Shutterface Photography "The band decided to spend 2010 putting out a stream of singles. Singer/bassist Matthew Stolarz was the original bassist of The Briggs (who are a fairly well known anthemic punk rock band, on SideOne Dummy records) yet he left and formed the Active Set, which is something quite different. Here he shares his story of leaving and starting from scratch". The Active Set`s subtly poetic new wave focus, a trip free from emulation gently allowing plenty of guitar-pop principles to be smashed to pieces. I`m pleased a trait is forming, they ...

ein paar frische zugänge gilt es abzuhaken, ob das angebot trifft, bleibt wie so häufig in der vergangenheit unklar, ich geh mal davon aus, dass der eine oder andere immer mal wieder im angebotenen dutzend fündig wird... blues rock und trance dance beats vermischt dieses ost und west vereinende duo, ihr album "the curtain of many faces" haben sie im alleingang herausgebracht: primal static - waking shadows bei ihm dürfen wir auch reinhören, eine erste single wird dargeboten in vorbereitung auf das nachfolgende album, welches wohl im april ebenfalls auf a tale untold erscheinen wird: anders chriss - the one die zweite ...

I came into work this morning debating what to listen to, and nothing seemed quite right until I started playing Rykarda Parasol’s newest album, For Blood and Wine. This is gorgeous, gothy, dark, sensual stuff, lush but never heavy-handed, sparse when it needs to be, like the chilling, “Hold Back the Night.” It’s haunting and [...] You Should Listen to Rykarda Parasol if You Don’t Already is a post from Crawdaddy! - The Magazine of Rock .

With a voice and lyrics compared to the likes of a female Nick Cave, and drawing influence from The Doors, Serge Gainsbourg, and Oscar Wilde, Rykarda Parasol describes her music as “rock noir,” evoking moody cinema drenched in gin and white-collar crime.  Parasol’s new self-produced album For Blood and Wine is a true-life narrative depicting [...]

Not the worst way to spend 7+ hours! NEAR SIDE Fess Up Face Down • Blaine Fonda , from Master of Stars and Broken Arms I Was A River • Pearly Gate Music (Zach Tillman) , from the debut EP (out May 18th) Closer • Butterfly Explosion , from Lost Trails Politics Space">In Space • Kate Miller-Heidke , from Curiouser Hoping and Waiting • The Hush Now , from Constellations (out February 16th) Hope Child • Free Energy , from Stuck On Nothing (out March ...

"Describing her sound as `rock noir`, Rykarda Parasol’s music evokes moody cinema drenched in gin and white-collar crime. Her personal songs depict bad love and bad deeds in stark simplicity." All the necessary melodrama surrounding this talented lady and her multicultural family tree is wholly justified, if anything the hype is a little subdued. While Siouxsie vocal references are duly made and PJ Havery/Nick Cave post goth narratives break the ironic surface, Rykarda`s delivery is no accidental scenario. It will almost make you laugh, it will certainly make you cry, at last a real long player to ...
