Our Ceasing Voice & Satory - Split EP (2011)

2011-10-24T13:06:00.007+02:00

Combining the thrilling intensity of Post-Rock/ Ambient quartette Our Ceasing Voice and the raw power of Vienna's Post-Metal pioneers Satory, this split 7" submission marks a blood-tingling release that proves the Austrian bands' talents by opening the door to a world full of melancholy and despair.

For Darkness Fears The Light poses the deeply moving return of Our Ceasing Voice after the success of their debut album 'When the Headline Hit Home'. Striking vocals and powerful drumming enable the band to dare the leap and take their ambient based tunes a step further, while retaining the outfits's full melodramatic force.

Originated in a time of change, Satory's track, The Translator, defines an important turning point in the story of the beast that was introduced in their 2009 EP. Expressive heaviness and valleys of hope constitute their new sound, bringing the powerful machinery back to the post-metal front.

Tracklist:
01 - Our Ceasing Voice - For Darkness Fears The Light
02 - Satory - The Translator

Bonus Tracks (Digital Buy Version only)
03 - Satory - The Hills Shone Resplendent (In the Evening Sun) (Live)
04 - Satory And Our Ceasing Voice - The Translator (Acoustic)
05 - Our Ceasing Voice - Dead Air

Chuter - Glisten Amber Plains (2011)

2011-10-02T23:49:00.003+02:00

Jack Chuter is a solo musician from Basingstoke, England. His music is an introspective mesh of post-metal, shoegaze, drone and ambient. Back in 2006 he started creating music as Excido – post-metal music influenced by the likes of Pelican and Isis – before moving into more personal and unique sonic spaces as Chuter in 2007.

This brought with it a greater focus on texture and atmosphere, departing from those initial post-metal influences to explore his own sort of “heavy shoegaze”. After four releases as Chuter [ including the much-praised full-length "Leaving Here" ], Jack presents “Glisten Amber Plains” – four of his most immersive and intense pieces yet.

Tracklist:
1. Glisten Amber Plains
2. A Planet Has Passed Away
3. Not The Same
4. Steady

Genre: Shoegaze/Post-metal

Out Of Sight - Silence Speaks The Words Unspoken (2011)

2011-07-26T18:28:00.004+02:00

Hi folks, I'm back to present a record that I have been listening to a lot over the last few weeks. This record is called Silence speaks the words unspoken and is the second release by Out Of Sight, a one man band from Germany.

Usually, I'm not into Post Rock that much, because it is, in my opinion, all build-up and no pay-off. And a lot of that statement is true for this record, but the songs have a certain quality to them I cannot quite describe using my fairly limited vocabulary. I guess I could say that all five songs seem to be alive with so much beauty, but that would be cheesy, wouldn't it? I could say, that there are so many great melodies in those songs, which I tend to miss in other Post Rock songs. Or maybe, I could argue that I find this special blend of Metal and Post Rock to be very intriguing.

The fact is, that for most people, this record would be just another collection of Post Rock songs. For me, it is a lot more: for me, this is a collection of great songs and I do not want to put a lable on them, assigning them to a certain genre. This record contains 35 minutes of very beautiful music, it's as simple as that. 35 minutes of pure emotions which put a smile on my face every time.

Genre: Metal, Ambient, Post Rock, Shoegaze

Naked Lunch - Amerika (2011)

2011-05-03T10:25:00.006+02:00

Naked Lunchs neuester Output namens „Amerika“ ist der Soundtrack zu Kafkas gleichnamigem unvollendeten Roman, den der Autor selbst als „Der Verschollene“ betitelte und der am 24.03.2011 im Klagenfurter Stadttheater (Regie: Bernd Liepold-Mosser) uraufgeführt wurde. Die Integration der Band und eines 12-köpfigen Frauenchors in das Bühnenstück stellte sich als vorzügliche Idee heraus. Die Musik diente dazu der Geschichte und den aufkeimenden Emotionen mehr Ausdruck und Nachhalt zu verleihen. Einige der Schauspieler griffen bei manchen Songs sogar selbst zum Mikrofon. Für das Stück hat die Klagenfurter Band Naked Lunch eigens neun Songs geschrieben, die sich wunderbar in das Gesamtbild einfügten. Der Soundtrack wurde ferner im Studio ohne Gäste aufgenommen.

Schon das erste Stück Let Me Walk Upon The Water zeigt pragmatisch auf, was den Zuhörer in den nächsten knapp 32 Minuten erwarten wird. Noch ist es ganz dunkel im Saal und nur sanfte andächtige Klavierklänge tragen die Stimme von Sänger/Gitarrist Oliver Welter: „...with a suitcase in my hand...“. Vorhang auf! Der Hauptdarsteller Karl befindet sich mit seinem Koffer und Regenschirm auf einem Schiff nach Amerika. Auf diesem lernt er auch seinen Onkel kennen, der ihn in New York bei sich aufnimmt. Er lernt wenig später bei Freunden seines Onkels eine Frau namens Klara kennen. Fight Club beschreibt einen wüsten Streit zwischen Karl und seiner jüngsten Bekanntschaft, welche ihn heftig attackiert und dementsprechend laut und ungestüm tönt die Musik. Das Zusammenspiel von einem knackigen Beat, mit dem treibenden Schlagzeug und dem wummernden Bass ist eine Wucht. Karl packt Schirm und Koffer und zieht, nun auch noch von seinem Onkel verlassen, weiter und macht andere Bekanntschaften, denen er sich anschließt. Bei Tumble Down erklingt eine fragile und resignierende Gitarre und diese erzeugt zusammen mit dem Bühnengeschehen (Karl geht zu den Worten „...you tumble down...“ erschöpft zu Boden) eine unvergleichliche Stimmung und Tiefe. Mit Had This Dream ist ein Sahnestück von einem Song auf dem Album vorhanden, der im Refrain eine unglaubliche Schönheit und Zufriedenheit entfaltet: „Rain keeps falling on my head, keeps washing me away...“. Gänsehautgarantie. Karls weiterer Werdegang führt ihn zu einem Hotel, in dem er zwischenzeitlich residiert und auch arbeitet. Dort wird er schließlich entlassen und er erfährt von einem Theater in Oklahoma, welches Mitarbeiter sucht und niemanden jemals abweist. „Down, down there he goes...“. Karl wandert weiter mit seinem Koffer dorthin und das abschließende Your Last Waltz beschreibt mit zerbrechlichen Klängen den offenen Schluss des unvollendeten Werkes von Kafka: „Your last waltz may be your funeral, your wedding day or your big escape...“.

Naked Lunch haben mit „Amerika“ einen wundervollen Soundtrack über das Leben mit all seinen Facetten geschrieben, der den Hörer himmelhochjauchzend, emotional berührt und nachdenklich zugleich, zurücklässt. Die Band vereint gekonnt verschiedenste Stilmittel, welche von Rock bis hin zu spärlich eingesetzter Elektronik und Americana reichen. Karl geht und verschwindet schlussendlich. Seinen Koffer hat er zurückgelassen. Ganz großes (Kopf)Kino.

The Echelon Effect - Seasons (EP Part 1/4) (2011)

2011-04-18T19:13:00.013+02:00

Quote: "Hello Everybody from sunny London! First off the new music, here you go, (its name your own price), you should be able to buy straight from this email.

The beautiful cover is a photo from Olya Dzhgyr, who won the competition for spring

I thought i'd better show you guys what all the scheming over the last few months has been about. Again many late nights and cold beers has been "utilised" in making this Ep (this is the the first of 4 ending with a film at the end of the year).

It's truly feels great to get Seasons up and running, it feels like forever since i came up with the concept. If anybody doesn't know, I'm documenting 2011 in film, not by concentrating on global occurrences but more along the lines of seeing pretty things that catch my eye throughout the year. Think of it as a budget Heima ;)

Filming is going great, its a lot of fun and im learning loads, its so much harder than i thought.

Anyway, hope you enjoy the music. Feel free to come say hello on one of the many social sites you can find me on. Also say hello by email (info@theecheloneffect.com). Use this email for licensing queries as well,

See you for Part 2 in the summer

Echoes from Jupiter - Europa (2010)

2011-03-02T14:50:00.000+01:00

Von Québec aus veröffentlichten Echoes from Jupiter im vergangenen Jahr - nach der 4 Track EP Io - das Album Europa. Dessen beachtliche Tracklist von 15 Songs, verteilt über gut eine Stunde besteht aus Shoegazigen Gitarrentracks mit deutlichen Post-Rock Einflüssen, welche immer wieder von experimentellen, kürzeren Stücken unterbrochen werden.

Wenn's dann richtig kracht, wie etwa im Mittelteil des Tracks Floating Neighbors, und verzerrte Screams über einem Brett von Gitarren-, Bass- und Drumssounds thronen, kann wohl niemand mehr widerstehen, wuchtig im Takt mit zu nicken. Diese Stärke spielt ebenso der Titeltrack des Albums aus, Gespür für tolle Gesangsmelodien in den härteren Teilen des Albums und ruhigere Passagen wechseln gekonnt einander ab, sodass am Ende des Albums nur der eine Wunsch ensteht: Gleich nochmal von vorn!

___________________________________________________________

Hailing from Quebéc, Echoes from Jupiter released the album Europa last year after their 4 track EP Io. Europa's impressive tracklist of 15 songs clocking in at over an hour, consists of shoegazy guitar tracks with a notable post-rock feel, consistently interrupted by more experimental, shorter songs.

When the albums fully blasts however, like in the middle section of the song Floating Neighbors and distorted screams throne above a wall of guitar-, bass- and drumsounds, nobody is able to resist to bang their head to the music. The title track utilizes that said strenght just as well, the band's keen sense of putting great vocal melodies above the louder parts of the album and more quiet sections take turns, so that at the end of the album only one wish is formed: to play it all over again!

Fourteen Twentysix - Lighttown Closure (2010)

2011-03-02T00:33:00.004+01:00

Fourteen Twentysix aus den Niederlanden ist mit Lighttown Closure ein großartiges Album gelungen, das gekonnt dunkle Einflüsse wie Anathema, Pink Floyd, NIN und Chroma Key mit einer Portion Mut zu popigeren Passagen verbindet.
Zwischen akustischen Gitarren, starken Bassläufen und groovigem Drumming schwirrt Chris van der Lindens unvergessliche Stimme umher, taucht dabei gelegentlich in ambienten und elektronischen Teilen unter, nur um kurz darauf mit voller Melancholie zurückzuschlagen.

Großes Kino! Anspieltipp: Descending & Lashes.

___________________________________________________________

With Lighttown Closure Fourteen Twentysix from the Netherlands created an outstanding album, which mixes the band's darker influences like Anathema, Pink Floyd, NIN and Chroma Key skillfully with a dose of courage to implement poppy parts.
Between acoustic guitars, strong basslines and groovy drumming Chris van der Linden's unforgettable voice hovers around, consequently submerging in ambient parts and their electronic feel, just to fight back with total melancholy shortly afterwards.

A grand album! Key tracks: Descending & lashes.

Álfheimr - What Allows Us To Endure (2011)

2011-03-01T15:04:00.009+01:00

Quote: "For Nurul. I love you.

For Nathan. I miss you.
For my friends and family.

Thank you everyone who's helped me along the way, and thank you for downloading this album.

These are songs for laughter and forgetting, for beauty and for the little things,
and for the choices we make and how those choices change us.
These are songs for the inevitable and for celebrating the time we have now;
for the things we lose and the things we gain from their loss.
These are songs for closeness over great distances;
for time, and how it heals us.
These are songs for the future, and what we may make of it;
for all the difficulties we have faced and for those to come,
and for hope, which allows us to endure.

You can email me at madisonasche@hotmail.com if you want a hand-painted digipak for $50. Thank you."

Support for Our Ceasing Voice!

2011-02-28T19:31:00.009+01:00

Hi buddies,

the last time we attended a voting we were so thankful to have such great supporters out there and got the first place with ease. This was an awesome chance for us to present our tunes in another area to another crowd plus beeing on an freeskiing-DVD ("Up&Down") with our track "Highway Lights". All this was an amazing experience and wouldn't have been able without your votes.

This time supportedby.at nominated us again to become a part of a sampler of austrian alternative artists with our track "Hopes Of Yore". It's really hard for a band in austria to get any attention especially with ambient-based tunes like ours. This sampler would be a good chance for us to become more attention around here in our local area. (It's really a bummer that we don't have the same acceptance here in austria that we have outside the austrian borderlines)

All you need to do is to go on
THIS PAGE,
scroll down to our song "Hopes Of Yore"
select and vote!

Additional Info:

every IP-adress is able to vote every 2 hours
end of the vote: 6th of march, 11:59PM ,GMT+1

Thank you in advance and we also hope you have your fun with our new album "When The Headline Hit Home" which is again out for free download like all of our releases.

Yours,
OCV

Our Ceasing Voice - When the Headline Hit Home (2011)

2011-02-19T11:25:00.001+01:00

Gradually the lights of the city come to new life, while the random flickering of the large neon sign three blocks away lasts and glances are lost in the distance. The sun slowly descends behind the silhouettes of the skyscrapers, taken over from the approaching night. The orange haze on the horizon is reflected in the windshields of the passing cars, raising the dust, which has been accumulated on the street. Here, between loneliness and hope, stories, which are able to change lives and guide our being exist. Soaking with melancholia Our Ceasing Voice tells these stories with their mix of hypnotic ambient and epic post-rock outburst and help the listener to catch the memories of long forgotten times, in order to save them from transience. Amidst the Tyrolean Alps the band was founded in 2006 already, but only with their debut 'steadied stars in the morphium sky EP' they drafted a journey through the mystery of gloom. Based on the upcoming novel by Sebastian Obermeir, Our Ceasing Voice's new 2011 album 'when the headline hit home' pursues this concept, while the development to a darker, more dynamic sound is clearly noticeable. Beautiful and saddening at the same time, the Austrians draw attention to fragility, passionately making one's flesh creep and thereby portraying a dramatic story full of yearning and desperation. How it will end, however, lies only in your hands.

Tracklist:
01 - Passenger Killed in Hit and Run
02 - Without Even Breathing
03 - Highway Lights
04 - The Only Ones Dead (Are Those Who Are Forgotten)
05 - Hopes of Yore
06 - Summer's Orange Haze
07 - Polaroids and Chinese Whispers
08 - Within the Nick of Time

Neues Forum online!

2011-01-01T20:54:00.004+01:00

Da das alte Forum auf einem fremden Server lag, der auch nicht wirklich gewartet war, kam es des Öfteren zu Fehlern und Ausfällen im Forum. Dies war der Grund zur Entscheidung auf ein "richtiges" Forum zu wechseln.

Durch die gute Zusammenarbeit vieler Mitglieder konnte dies sehr schnell umgesetzt werden. Unser Dank geht ganz speziell auch an unsere Freunde von revolvermann records, die uns webspace für die Verwirklichung angeboten haben und uns auch in Sachen Verwaltung mächtig unter die Arme greifen.

Das Archiv des alten Forums kann leider, wegen der schlechten Wartung, nicht ins Neue eingebunden werden und wird früher oder später wohl auch ganz von der Oberfläche verschwinden.

Das neue Forum konnte bis dato noch nicht visuell angepasst werden, wird aber demnächst geschehen. Auch ein Live-Chat wird noch eingebaut um die Kommunikation zwischen den Usern zu verbessern.

Der Grundstein für den Umzug ist also gelegt. Jetzt heißt es die Threads zu füllen, also meldet euch an und werdet Teil der "neuen" Gemeinde.

Sky Architects - The Reflection (EP) (2010)

2010-12-21T12:38:00.013+01:00

Press: "A lot has changed, since five young guys recorded their self titled debut-EP “Sky Architects” in 2008, which demonstrated a band that knew how to construct good melodies within an epic sphere. Where the debut showed how diverse the band could sound, their new record “The Reflection” shows a band with a more coherent and direct sound, but without compromising with their love for the epic melodies. Sky Architects isn’t Post-Rock, Metal, Indie or Pop, but a hybrid of all of these genres and more. First and foremost, Sky Architects play with their hearts, and it is therefore up to the individual listener to create their own experience of the sounds that have been created."

Nine Inch Nails - The Hand That Feeds (Thot Vegetal Hand Remix) (2010)

2010-11-02T13:28:00.005+01:00

Quote: "Dear Vegetal Noise Lovers, As promised, here's the remix that most of you have choosen: Nine Inch Nails - The Hand That Feeds (Thot Vegetal Hand Remix). I hope you're going to like it. More explanations about this remix on our blog Thank your for your votes and your support. Grégoire //"

Info: "Like many Nine Inch Nails’ fans, I was expecting a lot about their 2005 album, With Teeth. Because The Fragile era was so exciting. But when I’ve heard the first single ‘The Hand that Feeds‘, I was disapointed. I think I was begging for something else. The song was too easy. Then, I’ve learned to “never expect anything from you favorite bands” (of from anyone). Anyway, when Trent Reznor gave the opportunity to everyone to remix their songs, I’ve decided to remix The Hand that Feeds. I hope you’re going to like this manipulation. I was also disapointed when I’ve went in Paris, at Le Zenith (2005) to see Nine Inch Nails live. The show was crap."

Rorcal - Heliogabalus (2010)

2010-10-02T08:03:00.006+02:00

Quote: "Going right out of inferno, HLGBLS is a 70 minutes song which illustrates the decadence of the Roman emperor, Heliogabalus. This time Rorcal is going ways further than before, with crushing doom parts, including long hellish droning fields. This album is scary, really aggressive, completely gloomy. Be sure, you never heard something like that, and you never will. If you’re looking for something really extreme, this is exactly what you need.

CD packed in special limited edition!
CD presented in an A6 digifile, including an 8 pages color booklet. Limited to 500 copies. Hand-assembled and hand-numbered Booklet inserted into a black envelope. Sealed with blood-red wax."

MLE[e] - Discovering The Substantial (2010)

2010-09-18T12:05:00.002+02:00

After having listened to the debut EP of MLE[e], Walls And Other Lies, I was really looking forward to listening to their first full length release. With their mixture of alternative and indie rock, they reminded me a little bit of Bands like Placebo and Blackmail. Mixing beautiful melodies with outbursts of chaos is by far nothing new. But if it is well done, I am always on board.

After one and a half years of writing, recording and mixing, MLE[e] present 12 songs packed with emotions, amazing melodies and one can immediately sense that their songs come straight from the heart. This is a DIY production, no doubt, and a very good one, too. This makes this debut seem even more amazing.

It seems to me that Austria has to offer a lot for fans of independently produced music and this debut LP is a great addition to all that has already been presented on this Blog (Our Ceasing Voice, Doomina, etc.). This time, there is no free download, but you can by this record at iTunes for a slim 9.99€. I recommend you to do so and support these four guys from Vienna, Austria and enable them to continue making music. Peace out!

RePost: Cloudkicker - The Discovery (2008) & The Map Is Not The Territory (2008)

2010-09-18T10:25:00.010+02:00

Habt ihr euch beim Hören von Meshuggah nicht auch schon das eine oder andere Mal gedacht: "Was wäre, wenn sich die Jungs mal ein bisschen Mühe geben würden, was ihre Melodien angeht?" Versteht mich nicht falsch, ich liebe Meshuggah, aber hin und wieder wünscht man sich doch auch mal ein paar Verschnaufpausen, und die sind bei den Schweden doch eher selten. Für alle, denen es auch so geht, gibts von mir jetzt die ultimative Empfehlung.

Ben Sharp war anscheinend der gleichen Meinung wie ich und hat daraufhin sein Ein-Mann-Projekt Cloudkicker ins Leben gerufen. Die EP The Map Is Not The Territory und das Album The Discovery hören sich teilweise an, als wären sie von Meshuggah geschrieben und eingespielt. Nur dass Ben Sharp das ganz alleine gemacht hat und das gesamte Emotionsspektrum ausfüllt... von hasserfüllt bis lebensbejahend ist eigentlich alles dabei. Und genau das macht diese beiden Scheiben so einzigartig.

Das polyrhytmische Drumming, das repetitive Riffing, all das, was den Stil Meshuggahs ausmacht ist auch auf diesen CDs vorhanden, nur dass Herr Sharp über all dies noch einzelne Melodiebögen legt. Und diese Melodien sind es, die dafür sorgen, dass sich Cloudkicker nicht anhört wie ein weiterer Meshuggah-Klon. Dies und die tatsache, dass Cloudkicker ohne jeglichen Gesang auskommt.

Auch die Philosophie von Ben, der in seinen Liner-Notes

"This album was recorded for a grand total of $0, and is therefore being distributed for free. If you paid money for this you're a sucker."

schreibt, finde ich großartig. Obwohl ich bei einem Album/einer EP dieser Qualität kein Problem damit hätte, Geld zu bezahlen. Er schreibt weiter:

"Distribute this anywhere and everywhere you see fit. Give credit where credit is due."

Also, holt euch die EP und das Album, hört es an und wenns euch gefällt, gebt es weiter. Ich denke, ich habe meinen Auftrag hiermit erfüllt... oder etwa nicht, Herr Sharp?

___________________________________________________________

Did you ever, while listening to a Meshuggah record, wonder: "What if those guys would once try really hard and incorporate some melodies into their music?" I mean, don't get me wrong, I love Meshuggah, but every once and then one needs a break from all the complexity... and you don't get those from Meshuggah. For everybody who feels exactly the same: I've got just the thing.

Ben Sharp apparently felt the same way and started his one man project Cloudkicker. The EP The Map Is Not The Territory and the LP The Discovery sound like they were written and performed by Meshuggah themselves at times. But Ben Sharp did all of that himself and additionally uses the whole spectrum of emotions for his records... from hate-ridden to life-affirming. And this is what makes these records unique.

Everything Meshuggah stand for, polyrhythmic drumming, repetitive riffing, is in these tracks, but there's more: Mr Sharp adds overlying melodies to his very complex songs. And those melodies make Cloudkicker a lot more then just your average Meshuggah clone. The melodies and the fact that Clodkicker doesn't need vocals.

I also admire Ben's philosophy; in his liner notes, he wrote:

"This album was recorded for a grand total of $0, and is therefore being distributed for free. If you paid money for this you're a sucker."

Although, for a LP/an EP of equivalent quality I would gladly pay some money, no questions asked. Furthermore he wrote:

"Distribute this anywhere and everywhere you see fit. Give credit where credit is due."

So, you people who read this, get the LP/EP, listen to it and if you like it, give it to a friend. I think, my job here is done... is it, Mr Sharp?

The Polar Dream - The Polar Dream EP (2009)

2010-09-01T18:42:00.000+02:00

I know, I know... I'm a little late, reviewing this old EP when the five Mexicans have already released their debut album called Follow Me To The Forest, but nevertheless, this EP is worth being reviewed.

With their beautiful melodies and their very positive songs, they have managed to amaze me in a way Sigur Ros did when I first listened to their (). Not that I do want to draw a comparison here, The Polar Dream do not sound like Sigur Ros, they have a very unique sound. They do use the same instruments (Do I hear a Glockenspiel or a Xylophone here and there?), but The Polar Dream create a rock oriented sound, which I find is one of a kind.

Interested? If yes, download it and if you like it, I urge you to support these guys and buy their debut album.

Puentes Llamándome al Unísono - Los Días Felices EP (2008)

2010-08-29T19:26:00.001+02:00

Hello everyone, I'm back and started working through our already backed up request-log. The first record I chose to review is called Los Días Felices, which I guess means as much as The Happy Days. And that is exactly what the first track, bearing the same title as the record, sounds like: not upbeat, but it has a very positive and nostalgic vibe to it. This track sounds just beautiful.

The second track, De Regreso A Todos Los Adioses (Back To All Farewells), is a kind of sad, melancholic tune, almost the exact opposite of the first rack. A little bit slower, darker and more grim than the first track, it is very powerful nonetheless.

If you are interested in Ambient/Soundscaping, then this might be just the thing for you.

Slow Dancing Society - Under The Sodium Lights (Release date: digital - 25th of august, CD - 30th of september 2010)

2010-08-24T07:02:00.019+02:00

Slow Dancing Society is definitely one of my all-time-favourites out of ambient/shoegaze! Check out the new release!

Quote: "Perth, Western Australia; Spokane, Washington. The Australian music label Hidden Shoal Recordings has announced the eagerly awaited fourth album by US ambient artist Slow Dancing Society.

Following on from the ebullient warmth of the critically acclaimed Priest Lake Circa ’88, Under The Sodium Lights is Drew Sullivan’s latest ambient epic. The album feels like a distillation of the three stunning releases that preceded it – and as such is Sullivan’s finest work to date. The delicate interplay between focused melodic details and blurred washes of sound draws the listener into a hypnotic state, where the waking world and the world of sleep cascade in and out of balance.

First single ‘…and to the dust we shall return’ sees the gradual accretion of reverberant guitar tones, emerging from the silence as sparse reflections across the stereo field. Slow searching melodies overlap and accumulate before a descending bass figure carries the song home to its elegiac conclusion. From the luscious, tactile dream of ‘The Songs In Your Eyes’ to hopeful finale ‘Love Is On The Way’, Under The Sodium Lights resonates with a rich emotional core – and the choking realisation of our own transience. The album rewards immersive listening from start to
finish, to really soak in its beauty.

Slow Dancing Society is Washington-based musician/ producer and nostalgist extraordinaire, Drew Sullivan. With influences ranging from classic artists such as Brian Eno, Def Leppard, Tears For Fears, The Cure, Pink Floyd and Prince to contemporary artists like Manual, Explosions In The Sky, Sigur Rós and Hammock, Sullivan has developed a formidable reputation for producing emotional and immersive ambient music across four Slow Dancing Society releases.

“a complexity of sound that allows it to stand out from traditionally ambient music… It is easy to get dissolved in this album, to let yourself fall into meditation as the music plays… Textures and timbre are executed with great precision… Even the simplest of songs allow complimentary textures to be layered upon each other to create a robust yet spacious sound… an aural delight for the listener.” – The Silent Ballet on Priest Lake Circa ’88

“Music is all about moments like this. Moments when you are, unexpectedly, knocked over and stunned into submission by an album that has, quite literally, came from nowhere... deeply affecting, consistently excellent… demands repeated listening” – Boring Machines Disturb Sleep on The Sound of Lights When Dim

Under The Sodium Lights will be available as a digital pre-release on the 25th of August followed by the official CD release on 30 September 2010.

Hidden Shoal Recordings is an Australia-based independent music label that has earned a reputation for releasing exciting and engaging new independent music that is not bound by genre or style. Hidden Shoal Recordings was recently chosen as one of the top ten favourite labels of 2007 by Textura magazine and has been dubbed “This generation’s 4AD” by prominent New York radio host DJ Mojo."

Beyond The Dune Sea - Beyond The Dune Sea (2010)

2010-08-23T07:39:00.006+02:00

Quote: "Beyond the Dune Sea’s debut full length is a brilliant album. And it was done in such a “post-musical” style as well. A series of live jams were recorded and the whole thing was put together in post-production style by Adam Kennedy. The entire album is flawless and could be your next album on repeat once you get started. This is not to be passed by in 2010."

Vision Éternel - Abondance de périls (EP) (2010)

2010-08-19T19:44:00.001+02:00

Quote (myspace): "This page is formally that of Triskalyon. It has since moved on to become solely for Vision Éternel, as it is the most prominent band that has survived through the fall of the group.Vision Éternel is a band used to distribute the emotions left over by a past that ended hurtfully. Each release is a concept of a period and the phases which ocured. The idea originally started in January 2007, when a few songs were written one night, and differed from the bands I was in at the time. The first EP "Seul dans l'obsession" came out on February 14th of that year (on Mortification Records), and a music video was made for the song "Love within Narcosis", which was the first single. "Love within Isolation" would be used a few months later as a second (semi)-single.In June 2007, I began working on the second EP "Un automne en solitude". The first single "Season in Desperation" was released in late August for online promotion, prior to the EP being released. In February 2008 "Season in Absence" was finally released as the second single and on March 14th, 2008 the mini album came out, also on Mortification Records.It was during this time that I decided to test out expanding VE into a full band. The first person to try out was Phil Altobelli (who was known as Darklink in Triskalyon). Well his foreign collaboration didn't last very long. Finally I landed on Nidal Mourad and Adam Kennedy, who joined as acoustic guitarist and solo-ist, respectively. This was the most creative pairing so far, but only managed to re-work two songs, before splitting up.Through out the year "Un automne en solitude" got to many ears and finally landed on someone on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. A compilation had been an idea for some time but it wasn't until Frozen Veins Records offered me the opportunity to do it with them that it became an actual plan. The work has paid off and "An Anthology of Past Misfortunes" was released on February 14th 2009, as a two year commemorative to the first release. It contains both EPs (Seul dans l'obsession & Un automne en solitude) along with additional unreleased material and a poster. The package was pressed in a limited quantity of 100.Through out 2008 and 2009 I had attempted to write material for a third ep, and possibly have enough for a full length album. After going through three phases of new material, I realized that the full-length would not happen but that the third ep would be moving to a greater extent than the previous efforts. It would be the first material to be recorded and released to feature external help. Adam Kennedy came back in the picture to master the album and add his special touch to it, and Marina Polak contributed greatly to the new look by giving us a picture that represented the new mood of Éternel. The EP "Abondance de périls" was released on March 9th 2010 on Abridged Pause Recordings. Welcome to the new ears.Please visit Abridged Pause Recordings for more information on the current and upcoming releases.
