I Want To Tell You
Oh, Sadly no internet connection for me for the next two weeks. I hope I can come back as soon as possible.
Comunicado Urgente!
Infelizmente, o evento que se realizaria neste Domingo (30) terá que ser adiado, por vários motivos: Os organizadores do evento tiveram imprevistos de última hora, e boa parte das pessoas que participariam não poderão comparecer. Portanto, pelo bom senso, decidimos que o evento será adiado em 2 ou 3 semanas. Ainda não temos a data exata, mas o mesmo se realizará ainda em Fevereiro e, esperamos...

The Andersen Tapes - As I Write "Today" Ten Times...
Since I knew this band through their Cloudberry EP I kind of falling in love with them. If you remember of Free Loan Investments while listening to them it won’t be casual. Actually, the FLI-former Amanda Aldervall is basically the founder of The Andersen Tapes. I expected As I Write “Today” Ten Times would have a more accuracy production, the final work is sounding too much...

The Wake - Something That No Else Could Bring EP...
This The Wake’s album situates itself in the middle of band’s transition from post-punk to indie-pop. Any similarity of Wilco’s Sky Blue Sky cover with this one is a mere coincidence (or not)
01-Gruesome Castle 02-Pale Spectre 03-Furious Sea 04-Plastic Flowers

Minks - By the Edge (2010)
Another young Brooklyn-based duo going through Shoegaze and Lo-fi current scene. The opening song “Kusmi” takes us right to point how the album will sound like, a collection of eighties’ sonority (where we can reinforce The Cure as a main influence). Their first single “Funeral Song” had a good acceptance, and By the Edge reaches the expectations successfully. A very...

French Films - Golden Sea EP (2010)
This is how The Drums would sound if they have put more post-punk influences in their music. I think that is enough to figure out how amazing this Helsinki-based band is. 01-Golden Sea 02-Take You With Me 03-Lift Me Up 04-Dropout Jr. My Rating: 9,6

Secret Shine - The Beginning And The End (2011)
My mind was blown up when I saw Secret Shine playing at Indietracks. In that occasion, they presented the public with some songs of their upcoming album, “The Beginning And The End”. To be more specific the album was released last December 25th, but it’s so fucking good that I will consider it as a 2011 release. This work is breathtaking. I bet even fans weren’t expecting...

Rachael - Add A Little Bit Of Tobacco EP (2011)
Awesome when a band or a musician contacts you to help them to share their work over the internet. This is one of theses cases. So, let’s support Rachael to reach some listeners as many as we can. They mix later 60’s and 70’s psychedelic rock. (sometimes reminding Bowie stuff, others a very experimental garage).
01-Burn Slow And See 02-Grass 03-Like a High 04-Watchsick

British Sea Power - Valhalla Dancehall (2011)
2011 barely started and we already have a great release to appreciate. The guys from Brighton are back with a powerful album (their 5th studio one). Even tough a little longer than I expected, Valhalla Dancehall shows the band’s maturity, which is not much perceptible because the change is almost null, they are playing the same sound with the quality that gave them all the status, and now...
