Marcus Doo & The Secret Family - the magpie returned the ring

Marcus has a rich inner life that keeps surfacing with new self-revelations. He lives life through this musical language. The Secret family members care after his tough and elegant fragility being as truthful and as polyhedral artists as Marcus is; they have found a very personal way to blend this complex intellectual and emotional life with the world surrounding them.This sound, so intimate and truthful can surprise and sometimes scare. This is different. This is true. This is something real.    "last.fm"

Playfellow

Playfellow has already established a very strong position with its first album "Penumbra". Their second album "Carnival Off" only confirms the raw energy of the debut this time covered into much more intricate compositions, harder to get through but the more beautiful. This 5 piece with their shimmering guitar and keyboard soundscapes which can mutate into a massive wall of beautiful noise, combined with the haunting vocals of Toni Niemeier and Katharina Mey, is a young band from Germany. And their music has already become something very hard to pin down…which is always a good sign!

HUMANWINE

HUMANWINE is a band based out of Boston, Massachusetts. Their name is an acronym of the phrase, "Humans Underground Making Anagrams Nightly While Imperial Not-Mes Enslave".This is a reference to the subtly-coded lyrics that comprise most of their songs. Founded in 2002 by Holly Brewer and Mat McNiss, this band features a rotating lineup of supporting musicians.    "wikipedia"
 The Muzik of HUMANWINE is fluid and changing with each line up. Often 1 or more players on stage will be playing together for the first time and that methodology is the fabric of what makes them so special from their approach to songwriting through their presentation of their work whether it be in live performances or the videos and mini movies they create.

Woodcat - s/t

Woodcat is a dark folk band from Minneapolis,U.S.
Produced by local Americana enthusiast Robert Skoro, “Woodcat” was apparently recorded inside a fishtank, giving it the claustrophobic and harrowing atmosphere of dread endemic to the genre. There are multiple modern day touchpoints for “Woodcat;” what sprang immediately to mind, though, was Christian gloomsters 16 Horsepower crossed with the Violent Femmes’ second album “Hallowed Ground,” minus the fun songs.
The male vocals eerily ape Gordon Gano with shrieking female counterpoint somewhere at the intersection of Thalia Zedek (Live Skull, Come) and the banshee wails of Bjork.                                         "myspace"

Slim cessna's auto club - Buried behind the barn

Slim Cessna's Auto Club is a alternative country/gothabilly band formed in 1993 in Denver, Colorado. The constant in the band has been Slim Cessna, formerly a member of The Denver Gentlemen along with David Eugene Edwards and Jeffery-Paul of 16 Horsepower       "wikipedia"

Somewhere on the backroads of America is a crossroads where the roots of American music cross with punk sensibilities. This crossroads has spawned numerous bands over the years, bands that employ the style of music that America was founded on, but twist them to their ideal. The sound has been spawned and propagated by bands like Murder by Death and Th’ Legendary Shackshakers, but perhaps none has done more with the sound than Slim Cessna’s Auto Club.
On Buried Behind the Barn, Slim Cessna’s Auto Club has collected and re-released a collection of songs once only available on a limited edition CDR from 2004, songs that would be reworked for later albums into something drastically different.                     "punkmusic

The triptych of members include Ryan Gregory, Thomas Hartwell and Mark Perez, long-time friends who met in highschool and emerged from various other Flint, Michigan musical projects to become Morseville Bridge.

Japandroids - heavenward grand prix 7''

Finding it difficult to record a full album while in the midst of a heavy touring schedule behind 2009's acclaimed Post-Nothing, Japandroids devised a 7" series as a way to give something back to its fans.
Recorded during the duo's brief period of time off between tours, each two-song 7" in the five-part series will include an A-side of previously unreleased material written during the Post-Nothing sessions and a cover B-side.
Heavenward Grand Prix, the third 7" in the series, features the title track along with a cover of "Shame" by PJ Harvey.        "polyvinylrecords"

SWANS ARE NOT DEAD
After years of pursuing Angels of Light and recording and producing a diverse roster of artists for his Young God label, Michael Gira has decided to reconvene his legendary group Swans. As he says: “THIS IS NOT A REUNION. It’s not some dumb-ass nostalgia act. It is not repeating the past. After 5 Angels Of Light albums, I needed a way to move FORWARD, in a new direction, and it just so happens that revivifying the idea of Swans is allowing me to do that. “

Themes - The Phantom

THEMES creates a lush sound scape of proto folk rock mixing thick Baritone
guitars, heavy piano driven arrangements, and fiercely pensive rhythms, while male and female vocals intertwine, weaving colorful blankets of stories filled with an ageless haunted insight, that somehow, seems urgently necessary in today’s world. While striking a thoughtful tone, THEMES draws many comparisons to such greats as Nick Cave, Joni Mitchell, Cat Stevens, Grace Slick, and Neil Young.

THE DEEP FREEZE MICE
The Deep Freeze Mice were an English New Wave band that were active between 1979 and 1989. They were based in Leicester, and consisted of the core members Alan Jenkins (guitars and singing), Sherree Lawrence (organ and other keyboards), and Mick Bunnage (bass guitar). The band had two different drummers over the years: Graham Summers and Pete Gregory.
The band released 10 albums during their existence on their own labels: from 1979 to 1983 on Mole Embalming Records, from 1983 to 1989 on Cordelia Records. Their music was odd, often consisting of absurd and surreal lyrics delivered in Alan's deadpan voice accompanied by bouncy pop/progressive rock music. Favoured lyrical concerns included animal rights, conformity, and science fiction.  "wikipedia"
