Following on from the success of 2009's "Pins and Digits", Julien Dyne announces the release of his second full length album "Glimpse" . Stylistically a continuation of the futuristic elements hinted at on "Pins and Digits" "Glimpse" offers studies in shimmering melodies, woozy beds of rich harmonic sounds that pulsate over thick percussive backdrops. Featuring the vocal talents of She's So Rad, Ladi 6, Parks, Mara TK (Electric Wire Hustle ) and Claire Duncan (Dear Time's Waste) this record contains elements of soul and indie vocals against a backdrop of futuristic Hip Hop beats . Picked up by Japanese boutique label Wonderful Noise and UK heavy weights BBE 2009s "Pins and Digits" received worldwide exposure from BBC DJ's Gilles Peterson and Benji B reaching both DJ's ' top 100 ' lists for that year. 'Glimpse' offers to raise the bar higher again, moving further into exploratory electronic forays and deeper into hazy beatscapes.

120 Days' 2nd LP

Alongside Sigur Ros, fellow Icelandic experimental band mum had a strong reputation for off-kilter psychedelic works, borrowing influence from multiple genres. While never quite as popular as the former band, mum have been producing plenty of work over the past decade.
The band is planning a release, through their label Morr Music, of early demos from 1998-2000, entitled Early Birds. The 15 track album features heavily experimental tracks from the band’s youth, both erratic and delicate. Early Birds will be available 17 July.

Intriguing debut by composer Ryan Lott is an unusual blend of approaches, especially for a release on Anticon: the lyrical concerns of Sufjan Stevens circa Seven Swans, sonic techniques from Massive Attack, and the classical habits of Nico Muhly.
