I’ll have to say goodbye for a short while, so the next week or two or three will be quite silent at Eardrums. I’ll be moving from my little island to a new house in the south of the country, and will probably be internet-less for some weeks. I guess my time for blogging will be very limited too… So, if you send me emails etc, I will probably not answer. My inbox is probably so full when I get … →
The Hillfields released one of my absolute favourite albums last year, with their debut “It’ll never be the same again”. It’s still one of my favourite albums, – one of those I always come back to.

Prizes!”, and … →
The Lost Cavalry is ex-Fanfarlo guitarist Mark West’s new band, and they release their debut EP “Waves Freeze To Rolling Hills” on their own label Two Six Heave today. Those of you who downloaded our free “Between Two Waves” compilation may also remember him from the collaboration-project Saturnalia. The EP is a pleasure to listen to, and the amazing cover-art tops the experience. The Lost Cavalry’s music is some kind of dreamy, folk-flavoured indie, with rich instrumentation and Mark West’s … →
