Tweet Photo by Lennart Maschmeyer. On rare occations, I discover music that is so right for me, – music that touches strings deep inside, and makes all my senses and feelings wake up. Tiny Ruins from New Zealand plays this kind of music. It was a friend of mine who asked me to check out Tiny Ruins‘ music some time ago, and I am so glad I did. Now I’m hoping that you will check out her music too. Tiny … →
Tweet Denmark’s Efterklang has given me so many wonderful musical experiences, – sometimes so strong that I connect some of their songs to times, places and I may even remember the weather on that specific day I listened and had the special experience. I’ve recently enjoyed watching and listening to their ambitious live-release “Performing Parades” (cd/dvd), where they performed their album Parades in full, accompanied by The Danish National Chamber Orchestra, in their hometown of Copenhagen. Now the band have … →
Tweet Sweden’s Heart-Sick Groans has made a new video, and what a lovely video it is! The song in this video is “Three Day Blow” from Heart-Sick Groans upcoming release, the seven song EP “Gentlemen, If you aint right, get right”. It’s directed by Henric Wallmark, – one of the members in the band. Drawn, cut-out and performed by Mads Peter Brandstrup Jensen’s class at the Drawing Academy at the Animation Workshop, Viborg, Denmark. Enjoy!

Tweet A year ago or so, we wrote about the new 6-track EP from Denmark’s Champagne Riot, released on Shelflife Records. Back then, the only member of the project was Caspar Bock, and on his debut “Paris and I”, he made wonderful electro-pop sounding somewhere between Abba, New Order and The Lightning Seeds, – quite different than most of the other bands on the label. His list of influences was also refreshingly uncommon for an indie-musician, listing Kylie Minogue, Max … →
Tweet 4AD have launched the 4AD Sessions, where the artists on the label perform exclusive live sessions. The video recordings will see 4AD artists performing back-catalogue covers and alternative versions of their own material. Here is new 4AD-signing Tune-Yards performing five tracks for the 4AD sessions. Her album is highly recommended!
Tweet The Mary Onettes‘ long awaited second album “Islands” will be released on Labrador records on November 4. On “islands” we hear a band with more confidence, and the band dare to take their songs one step further in either directions. I was very excited about their self-titled debut from 2007 too, but “Islands” is a very different record. The sound is wider, the strings are more in front, the pop-songs are more pop, the sad songs are sadder. If … →
Tweet Cineplexx has a new video for the song “Mejor” from his latest album “Nuevahola”. You can also download this song for free as a “Copacabana mix” from the Cineplexx website. Enjoy!
