Philadelphia’s NOTHING have been destroying the eardrums of audiences throughout North America for the past 2 years with a magnetic blend of captivatingly dark and beautiful vocals and explosive, blown out, in the red guitar fuzz. On their debut full length Guilty Of Everything, recorded and produced by Jeff Zeigler (Kurt Vile, War On Drugs, etc) NOTHING seamlessly merge the huge distorted guitar sound of 90s/00s alternative rock giants My Bloody Valentine and Smashing Pumpkins with Jesu’s introspective post-metal/hardcore. This is a triumph of a debut that successfully manages to be massively loud, darkly introspective and totally beautiful all at once.

Hailing from London, Echo Lake are a five piece whose strong, defined melodies give them an arresting and unique take on the tuneful side of psychedelia’s pop frontier.

2011 debut album from this Swedish duo comprised of Maria Lind‚n and her musical partner Fredrik Balck. Residing in the Swedish capital of Stockholm, the duo have quietly been crafting the nine tracks that make up Hearts throughout stolen moments gathered up over the past three years. Songs were written, committed to tape, destroyed. The task of capturing the sonic density of Lind‚n's compositions was painstaking. Balck's lyrics constantly teasing the senses are at times insular, cold to the touch. It's only when interpreted by Maria's effortless croon that a warmth is added, like the first rays of sun on a cold winters morning. A balancing act of light vs. dark that reveals a beauty within the darkness. Bella Union.

With their third album at the latest, Monoland established a reputation to move between the unusual and the unexpected.
Adding sampler to a traditional pop-setup, the Berlin based band create
songs remarkably unique in sounds and structure.
Occasionally, other bands may come into mind but eventually their unique sound bursts the defined pattern and cuts the ground from under one’s feet.
This music is amazingly versatile and what you experience is curiously influenced by the mood you are in and by the way you are listening.
You can listen to each track 20 times and every time you will hear something different: new layers, previously unnoticed sounds, unknown links and unexpected turns.
It is left to oneself. Monoland’s music does not simply end. Their music has a visual dimension as it does not produce a finalized image. What you see is that what you lay in it.
Monoland’s music lets you listen to yourself – lets you listen to what happens to you inside. It’s all in oneself. In this way, Monoland are subjective and that’s why they burst the pattern.
