Title: OFLYT
Artist: POSTKONORET

2 track 7" VINYL

postkontoret

The beautiful debut 7" vinyl from experiment indie Swedish newcomers - Postkontoret.

Postkontoret are Nya Sampan & Rigas (The Chrysler, Rigas, Moder Jords Massiva). It's epic, distorted glitch-pop with haunting melodies and monotone rhythms, somewhere in between Anne Laplantine and Ralph Lundsten.

"There’s a lot going on in the song, with plenty of distorted sounds, bleeps and whirs, but it’s the incessant beat that propels it forward, a little like something you’d expect from the soundtrack to say Run, Lola, Run or Risky Business." - www.swedesplease.net

Title: SUPER 8
Artist: KID CHOCOLAT

14 track CD / DVD

kid chocolat

A stunning film by Pascal Greco and original soundtrack by Kid Chocolat.

A film shot in Super8 (of course) without any digital alteration, that combines warm atmosphere and modern vision. The soundtrack is starkly and sparsely scored: guitars, vocals and synth are used to emphasize this strange universe. The onlooker is confronted by a tantalising glimpses of an enchantingly alien life-style. Super8 is more than an album and more than a film, it’s a genuine concept.

Includes 1xDVD 5.1 suround, 1xCD, 1x poster.

Title: ORDER, ECHO
Artist: THEO

4 track CD

theo

Fantastic, epic EP from the Worcester-based solo artist.

Theo, the work of one Sam Knight, is one for the math rock fans. Taut, chugging guitar loops layer up with frenetic tapping patterns that interweave in spiralling complexity before near sub-atomically precise, powerhouse drumming clatters and builds each song into juggernaut of riffs and rhythms. (GIITV - Angus Reid)

 

Title: HELLO ANIMAL
Artist: BARACLOUGH

10 track CD

baraclough

Mastered by the legendary Denis Blackham (Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Kraftwerk & more) the album contains a selection of live favourites and previously unheard works.

Baraclough, and their ‘angry bear’ are a Joy Division for the laptop age, echoes of somebody sharpening knives in your ear before. - Sandman Magazine

[Baraclough] flip switches, faze and layer a sound soup with intermittent bursts of Barraclough idiosyncrasies. They make dark wave programmed muzik of which I witnessed first hand at a studious gig set up in an art gallery come flat “Divus’ in the eastend of London.
Thoughtful and mind bending, Barraclough may never be mainstream but streaming into the mains is what they do best. - P.I.X Magazine

 

Title: CHARACTER
Artist:ANNA MORLEY

5 track CD

anna morley

CHARACTER is an eclectic fusion of electro-accoustic vibes with a touch of ambience, all held together by minimal grooves. Anna has collaborated with UK producer Alex Forster with recording and production carried out between London and Barcelona at a combination of renegade and proffesional studios.

'Anna Morley has composed a beautiful piece of poppy ambient-lounge and called it Character. A collection of sounds made by vibraphone, synthy keyboards, violin, mellow 808ish drums, guitar, harmonica, indistinguishable vocals, ukulele and more weave these lush, yet jovial tunes together.' - Moomaw.info

Title: JOY OF SEX EP
Artist: JOY OF SEX

4 track CD

joy of sex

Math rock from the Cardiff-based three piece.

Opening with what sounds like a surreal Christmas Carol that quickly turns into an Art Brut meets The Pixies indie-growler, this debut EP from Cardiff based Joy of Sex is a speedy, experimental and pleasing little record.
Second track 'There Are No Giants' is the standout here, flailing around from laconic verse to squawked chorus barked over stripped down instrumentation. 'Briefing' has a more erratic post-punk edge to it, with the lead vocals becoming practically seagull-like.
Closer 'Red Rocket' growls over a staccato bassline, boy/girl vocals and drum beat all insistently striking at once until a searching The Cure-like guitar line leads us out of the track.
At four tracks in just over nine minutes it's an extremely brief release, but suggests that this three-piece has enough inventiveness and spark up their sleeves to make them worthy of your attention.. - The Joy Collective

 

 

Title: CERBERUS
Artist: TRENT MILLER

20 track CD

trent miller

20 tracks of tragically soulful goth-country melodies from this London based solo artist.

"You see, as a performer, I ain’t never really seen anything like Trent Miller. Just imagine an Italian dandy with earrings that wouldn’t look out of place on Sitting Bull’s daughter singing country songs about graveyards, empty bottles, and a steel rail heading straight for a hell and you might just catch of glimpse of this guy. With a brakeman’s hat and a voice pitched somewhere between Gene Clark and Johnny Cash, he’s like a fucking child when he plays." - GREG REESIAK

"Roman Troubadour Trent Miller has been described as the Pete Doherty of Avant-Gothic Country. However with his wistful acid-bite lyrics, mournful, chilling melodies and outlaw, renegade posture we think a more suitable comparison might be to that of Gram Parsons or Gene Clark. Showcasing his superb new album this self proclaimed foot soldier in 'The Post-Country Revolution' will take no prisoners in his war on mediocrity and the banality of evil.... 'Man the barricades 'cos this machine kills!" - MARTYN BONANZA

Title: LOST TRANSMISSIONS
Artist: TIME. SPACE. REPEAT.

11 track CD

time. space. repeat.

"If there really is a shoe-gaze movement going on, then Time. Space. Repeat. are definitely the torch bearers" - Artrocker

Listen to ‘The Lost Transmissions’ with this warning; the subject matters are often bleak, and if the thought of an album concerning death and the expiration of time is a touch too much for the stomach take then this may not be for you. But for those who listen through, and see the craft in the lyrics, the sheer ambience of the noise surrounding and the overall light tinted power of the songs; this may be something very special for you indeed. 8/10 - Audio Scibbler - Extended review

Title:URSINE MAJOR
Artist: PORPOISE

4 track CD

porpoise

LIMITED EDITION - 40 hand stamped , printed and numbered copies. Exclusive to Samu.

This is my favorite album from Porpoise yet. It has all the fun and energy of earlier albums, with more polish (both in arrangements and production) and a broader emotional range. "Big Cat Tag Team Take Down" is a hard-driving crowd pleaser with a nice guitar solo. California Racist, Silver Bullet and Soldier Bear all bring out a softer, more melodic side of the band that hasn't been so apparent in the past. These songs also show the band's ability to maintain their tongue-in-cheek playfulness while taking on more serious topics. ( CBriggs - Jamendo)

Title: A LAST RECORDING
ARTIST: TARANTELLA
3 track CD

This 2 piece (Bass & Drums) create a thumping instrumental hypnosis.
