The Drin - Down River In the Distance

Made by Dylan McCartney at the attic in the village by the cemetery with ancient tapes, several drums, two or three synthesizers, a bass guitar, shakers of a few sizes, a cowbell, a century old bugle, a broken melodica, two tambourines, the “thing”, a harmonizer, a destroyed contact mic, barely functioning buzzing amplifiers, sounds of the 1401, two warped electric guitars, a hand drum from my late uncle Gordon, a computer on the brink of a fatal crash, consumer grade microphones, a truculent flanger, a few bottles of ouzo, a bevy of self-induced paranoid delusions, bridges between Cincinnati and Kentucky, the companionship of a frightful cosmic tale, the solitude of the forsaken spot, vivid and visceral nightmares, red lights, night rides and poisoned air.

More Ephemerol - Fertile Energy

More Ephemerol is the expressionism of lone programmer and synth obsessor Chad Fjerstad. Colorful arpeggios, blippy bass lines, brick-like kick drums, razor sharp vocoders, and sizzling synth leads sculpt out More Ephemerol’s sterile sound.

Each and every track carefully chosen for this LP is a dancefloor ripper. Plug in enjoy the journey.

Sydney Valette - Home Alone

“Home Alone” is the Fruit of the Pandemic and heartbreaks, it is a return to basics, to how everything started in 2005: making music alone in a room, at home, preferably at Christmas hour…As usual, the variety of genres present in this album is a key factor to understand Sydney’s approach of music: painting a large range of emotions, despite the constant social need of artistic classification: Sydney doesn’t want to identify to a scene in particular…You will hear in this album Dark Wave, Ebm, Post Punk, Rave, Italo Disco, Ambient, the common denominator being always an underlying Pop vibe.
