Jacob Borshard & Beach Boys = Love

Posted on February 17, 2012 by Knut in Projects | 3 Comments

Tweet Our ukulele-playing, cartoon-making, Batmobile-creating and incredibly creative hero Jacob Borshard has, as the pressrelease say, “just won the distinction of being the first person on earth to fully complete the Beach Boys’ 1967 Smile recordings”. Jacob has shown his love for Beach Boys in his earlier works as well, like his WeePop!-release “Coctail”, where he covered “Kokomo”. This time, he has (based on Brian Wilson’s solo version of the album, put together a stereo-version of the original Smile-recoirdings. He … →

New single and EP from Red Shoe Diaries

Posted on February 10, 2012 by Knut in indiepop | Leave a comment

Tweet   Nottingham’s Red Shoe Diaries is one of the bands that make me really excited these days. It’s definitely indiepop, but I think this band takes the genre a bit further. I can’t exactly put my finger on what it is, but their music sounds “new” in some way. It’s sophisticated, with lovely, almost clean vocals, and great melodies. The band has two brilliant vocalists, and their twangy guitar reminds me of old Italian western-films. Don’t worry, this is … →

Fenster – new release on Morr Music

Posted on February 9, 2012 by Knut in dreampop, electronica, folky | Leave a comment

Tweet As some of you may know, I am a huge fan of the German label Morr Music. I trust them so much that I KNOW that I will love their upcoming releases. I knew, just by reading Morr’s description of their new signing FENSTER, that this was something I should look forward to. Quote: “FENSTER makes de-constructed pop music. Their lyrics are often carefully constructed dream narratives, finding inspiration in the world of ghosts, graveyards. trains, religious imagery, and … →

New album from Burning Hearts, finally!

Posted on February 8, 2012 by Knut in indiepop | Leave a comment

Tweet Finland’s Burning Hearts released one of my favourite albums a few years ago on one of my favourite labels, Shelflife. “Aboa Sleeping” was filled with gorgeous indiepop-songs, filtered through a thin layer of melancholy, – the same kind of melancholy you can find in some of the songs from Broadcast or Stereolab. That kind of duality between happy and melancholic  is probably why I have always found Burning Hearts’s sound more interesting and durable than all those super-happy and … →
