SAMOTH, kjent fra EMPEROR og ZYKLON, og COSMO (MINDGRINDER, SCUM)
har på Inroads, deres andre album som THE WRETCHED END, fått med seg NILS
FJELLSTRÖM (DARK FUNERAL), og følger opp Ominous på en gedigen måte.
Ren ekstremmetal som henter i omtrent like mengder fra trash, death og black
og med tekster som i det store og hele dreier seg om dommedag. Anbefales!

MOONFACE aka SPENCER KRUG, kjent fra WOLF PARADE, SUNSET RUBDOWN
osv, har på Heartbreaking Bravery fått med seg det finske post-/krautrockbandet
SIINAI (nylig nominerte til Nordic Music Prize). Siinais tyngde kler Krugs ofte dvelende fremføringer godt og som tittelen antyder går det tekstmessige i stor grad i
retning av knuste hjerter, som så ofte med Krug.
“…stuff like the brooding album highlight ‘Faraway Lightning’ sound nothing like Krug has been
involved with before, its coldly exotic peals of synth and measured, menacing floor toms distinctly
reminiscent of Closer-era Joy Division.“ 7/10 DROWNED IN SOUND “…this collaboration with
Siinai proves to be one of the more compelling Moonface records to date.” 7.1 PITCHFORK

CD
Med utgangspunkt i tradisjonell irsk folkemusikk leverer CATHY JORDAN et utsøkt
debutalbum med All the Way Home som på en fin måte blander tradisjonelle låter
med egenskrevne. Jordan har siden 1991 vært vokalist i den populære gruppen
DERVISH som i 2007 leverte Irlands bidrag til Eurovision Song Contest.
“The accent of the music throughout remains located in the sparkling vitality of its traditional
Irish roots. And while the energy one encounters with Jordan as a member of Dervish has been
dialled down, there’s no loss in quality or masterly finesse she brings to her material.” BBC
”If there’s only one folk/trad/world music album you buy this year, make it this one.”

Morten Myklebust (26) har vært en dårlig skjult hemmelighet i musikk-Norge i mange år
allerede. Tross sin unge alder, har han utmerket seg som låtskriver for flere av de største
artistene i landet samtidig som han i fem år har jobbet fram debutskiva. 16. april slippes singelen “SheShe”, og det selvtitulerte debutalbumet er ute via Spoon Train / Cosmos 27. April.
Myklebust har beina godt plantet i singer/songwriter-tradisjon og skriver tekster få andre
norske artister tangerer. Selv om navnet kan høres nytt ut for de fleste, er dette en ventet og
etterlengtet debut fra en av de mest lovende artistene i miljøet rundt landets beste musikere,
og han har tatt med seg et håndplukket stjernelag av musikere til debutskiva. Susanne Sundfør bidrar i den vakre duetten “Away”, mens Tor Egil Kreken (Shining), Børre Flyen (Christel
Alsos) og Ørnulv Snortheim spiller henholdsvis bass, trommer og el-gitar på skiva. Myklebust
spiller gitar og har skrevet alle låtene.
Siden arbeidet med førstealbumet startet i bestefarens kjeller på Abildsø i 2005, har Myklebust co-skrevet begge skivene til Christel Alsos, blitt hentet til ByLarm to ganger, koret for
artistvennene og allerede bitt fra seg utenfor Norges grenser. Fran Healy (Travis) har omtalt
Myklebust som “en stjerne” og spydspissen i “en norsk låtskrivingsrevolusjon”.
I høst ble Morten også hentet av Healy til hans private veldedighetskonsert i Berlin.
Albumet er blitt plukket fra hverandre og satt sammen på nytt i takt med stadig nye liveopptredener i Norge og utlandet de siste årene. Stort sett har han spilt det inn alene på Abildsø
og i Viagram studios i Oslo.
Nå er artistenes favoritt endelig klar for folket, syv år etter at det hele startet i en kjeller
på Abildsø. Et slags “Best of 2005-2012”.

HERE WE GO MAGIC
A DIFFERENT SHIP
Secretly Canadian
SC 230 / SC 230LP
0656605023021 / 0656605023014
CD/LP
Here We Go Magic’s sophomore album, Pigeons, had only been out a few weeks when
the seeds for A Different Ship were planted in late June 2010 at the Glastonbury Festival.
The New York band had been on the road since spring, wowing audiences with their
uncanny live chemistry, turning album tracks into intricately groovy sonic explorations
where the band seemed almost synchronously possessed. That had been their sweet
spot since their earliest rehearsals together, when singer/songwriter Luke Temple, bassist
Jennifer Turner, guitarist Michael Bloch, drummer Peter Hale and then-keyboardist Kristina
Lieberson bonded over a shared belief in musical spontaneity and a kind of improvisation
that feels too divinely ordered to be called “jamming.”
Tracklist:
Intro
Hard To Be Close
Make Up Your Mind
Alone But Moving
I Believe In Action
Over The Ocean
Made To Be Old
How Do I Know
Miracle Of Mary
A Different Ship
At Glastonbury “the crowd wasn’t giving us much to work with, except for these two guys
standing in front,” Temple continues. “One of them was dancing around like a maniac and
I was like, ‘I’m just gonna play for those two guys. Then I realized,‘That’s fucking Thom
Yorke and Nigel Godrich!’” The band,York & Godrich became fast friends and the producer
eventually proposed working together. In particular, the producer said he thought he could
help them better communicate their hypnotic and hypnagogic live vibe on tape. And he did.
A Different Ship is Here We Go Magic’s most remarkable and captivating album yet, with
an emotional and musical arc that is alternately calming and anxiety-inducing, and often
both at once. “I Believe In Action” and “Make Up Your Mind” sound like they’re
being beamed in from outer space, while more earthbound tracks such as “Miracle of
Mary,” “Over The Ocean” and “Alone But Moving” amble in a somnolent haze, with
Temple’s cool timbre cutting through the fog.

*WIDELY CONSIDERED TO BE THE ULTIMATE AND MOST IMPORTANT ALBUM TO COME
OUT OF THE STONER ROCK/DOOM MOVEMENT!
Tracklist:
1. Dopesmoker (1:03:31)
2. Holy Mountain (Live 1994) (11:54)
*Formed as a Bay Area hc/punk rock band called Asbestosdeath, the band changed their musical direction and
name and debuted as Sleep with their Volume One album in 1991. After Justin Marler left the band, the core lineup
of Al Cisneros, Matt Pike and Chris Hakius went into the studio to record a demo cassette that they sent to Earache
Records. The recording was released in November of 1992 (exactly as received by the label!) under the name
Sleep’s Holy Mountain and went on to forever alter the musical landscape. Countless current bands cite Sleep’s
Holy Mountain as a major inspiration, and the unique sound and style of the record can be heard in many subsequent
releases by bands from all over the world.
*Sleep’s Holy Mountain created such a humongous buzz that major label London Records signed the band.
Unfortunately, the label lacked the vision necessary to actually follow through and release the album that Sleep
recorded, mostly because it took the not-radio-friendly form of a Single song — a 63 minute long ode to weed —
called Dopesmoker. Sleep returned to the studio and edited the track down to 52 minutes and re-titled it Jerusalem,
but it was again rejected. London Records shelved the record and dropped the band, leading to their dissolution.
*In 2011, Southern Lord was contacted by Sleeps’ Al Cisneros about the possibility of releasing a deluxe version of
this classic recording. The rights to the record had reverted back to the band and Cisneros wanted to breathe some
new life into the old beast. Southern Lord was overwhelmingly ecstatic about the challenge of taking the reigns of
one of the most important recordings in the history of Heavy Metal! The Lord version features brand new artwork by
long time Sleep artist, Arik Roper, who created something specifically special for the albums’ rebirth. The biggest
difference between this new version and the old releases is the phenomenal remastering job by From Ashes Rise
guitarist, Brad Boatright (OFF!, Noothgrush). His vision was to enhance the original recording without changing it
drastically. What he has done makes this epic opus sound invigorated, more powerful with renewed clarity and allaround unbelievably mammoth. His work was enthusiastically approved by the band and considering how focused,
vigilant and protective of their masterpiece the band is, that is nothing short of a miracle! Also exclusive to the reborn
version of Dopesmoker, is a unreleased live track of one of the best songs the band ever did, Holy Mountain. The
booklet features newly penned liner notes by the band helping shed some new light on this holy grail of a album.

TU FAWNING are returning this May with their sophomore release titled A MONUMENT, which is just what this is, a monumental evolutionary achievement.
A mere nine songs short, but enough time to confirm the suspicion raised by the band’s
debut album HEARTS ON HOLD: Can it be that this band sets itself apart from everything
else out there right now? Yes, this is proof.
Lets not fool anyone here: Right now, TU FAWNING are still the best kept secret of Portland.
All members of the band Corrina Repp, Joe Haege, Liza Rietz and Toussaint Perraultare are
deeply rooted in the local community of artists, barkeepers, rooftop gardners and musicians.
They have played with nearly every other artist in town, yet Tu Fawning was an are still a
brand new band.
They dont really fit into any schemes of “contemporary buzz making” except for showing up
in PORTLANDIA for a bout 5 seconds and they don’t sound like anything else right now so
what to do in 2011s “referencial retro mania”
The only right thing is and always was,to trust your instinct and you passion and record the
record you believe in, put it out and go out their and play which is what they did and with it
all downsides, the problems and drama that creates but also the good sides, the amazing
feedback they got, the harmony energy in the band and all that: TU FAWNING became real
became a band and wrote what is now A MONUMENT.

Canada’s finest live band, The Sadies, have reunited with explicit soul singer/cult legend Andre
Williams for Night & Day, set for release May 11, 2012 on Yep Roc records.
Night & Day is the result of sessions that began in 2008 at Key Club Studio in Detroit and
captures Andre, then 70 years old and still using at the time, at his most raw, honest, and
immediate. No filter.
Andre is aided by a stellar cast of musical friends, dirty bluesers who have earned the trust
of the ancient hustler, including Jon Spencer (who directed these sessions) and Matt VertaRay of Heavy Trash, Danny Kroha of Detroit’s own gutter-blues superheroes, The Gories,
the unsinkable Mekon, Jon Langford, and of course, behind it all, The Sadies’ long-time
line-up of Dallas Good on guitars and keys, his brother Travis Good on guitars and fiddle,
Mike Belitsky on drums, and the mighty Sean Dean on the bass.
The result is a raw, gritty slice of raunch rock that has attitude in spades and the hooks
and playing to back it up. Night & Day, indeed. There is wisdom in these grooves.

“Umskiptar” is the 10th studio album from Burzum, and follows the highly critically
acclaimed releases Belus (2010) and Fallen (2011) which put Burzum straight back
at the at the top of the chain as of one of the most innovative and creative metal
artists of our time.
“Umskiptar” is not like any of the older Burzum albums, and yet similar to all of them.
More than anything it has been inspired by scaldic poems and ancient folk music, and
yet it’s metal, but with Norse lyrics this time all taken from the famous Scandinavian
Voluspa poem.
Burzum says: “Hence I call the “Umskiptar” album scaldic metal, and also naively
hope with this to avoid having my music labelled ‘Black Metal’ anymore.”
“Umskiptar” contains both traditional metal music and more experimental metal music
as well as a traditional Burzum introduction and conclusion.
Undoubtedly will be one of the biggest black metal release of 2012

AMONG THE LEAVES
Caldo Verde
CV 018

Tracklist:
Among The Leaves is the 5th full length album by Mark Kozelek under the Sun Kil Moon
moniker. Played almost entirely on nylon string guitar, this 17-song all original album was
recorded between October 2011 and January 2012 in San Francisco. Among The Leaves
- words which caught Mark’s attention from a John Connolly novel - finds Mark relaxed,
singing playfully about his life as a musician while retaining the melancholic spirit of his 20
year catalog. Mark’s love for San Francisco and Northern California are at the heart of this
new album. “My first album (Down Colorful Hill) was released in 1992” says Kozelek, “but
creatively, I feel like I’m just beginning. The new album was written and recorded impulsively,
without second guessing.I didn’t have that kind of confidence in the past.”
Unlike Red House Painters’ epic Rollercoaster,described by Rolling Stone as “the slowest
and mopiest self revelations ever put to tape” or Sun Kil Moon’s Ghosts of the Great Highway, which Billboard Magazine called “heartbreaking,” Among The Leaves displays a more
raw and humorous side of Mark’s songwriting. Aaron Prellwitz, recording engineer of Red
House Painters and all 5 Sun Kil Moon albums describes the latest effort as “wonderfully
direct.” Kozelek curiously ties together legends Joe Frazier, Bobby Fischer and Ed Gein in
‘The Winery,’ ‘Song for Richard Collopy’ is a touching tribute to the late San Francisco guitar
repairman, and “Sunshine In Chicago” - written just before taking the
stage at a Chicago venue last year – is a funny, self deprecating poke at life on the road.
Though Among The Leaves is mostly in the solo, nylon string style of Admiral Fell Promises,
a new ensemble of players joined Mark for a portion of the record, recalling the same spirit
as April and Tiny Cities, but with a fresh, new sound

*The Melvins will release a brand new studio album with the delightful title ‘Freak Puke’
on June 5 via Ipecac Recordings.
*Nothing ever stays entirely in one place very long around the Melvins, and the constantly
evolving underground hard rock geniuses have undergone a temporary lineup and name
change for the recording of ‘Freak Puke.’
While their last three albums featured a two-drummer, four-piece roster augmented by
Big Business members Jared Warren and Coady Willis, the new record finds the group
in a more familiar three-piece setting.
Founding guitarist / singer Buzz Osbourne and his longtime drumming partner Dale Crover
will be joined by bassist Trevor Dunn for this record, and the trio will operate under the name
Melvins Lite.
It will be the four-piece version of the Melvins that embarks on their upcoming spring
co-headlining tour with Unsane.

Celebration Rock, the follow-up to the critically acclaimed Post-Nothing, was recorded at
The Hive, the same Vancouver studio as Post-Nothing, with engineer Jesse Gander.
Tracklist:
1. The Nights of Wine and Roses
2. Fire’s Highway
3. Evil’s Sway
4. For the Love of Ivy
5. Adrenaline Nightshift
6. Younger Us
7. The House That Heaven Built
8. Continuous Thunder
Japandroids kept the ground rules they’ve always had for recording: no double-tracking
guitars and no overdubs unless they’re absolutely necessary. The raw energy captured on
Celebration Rock is well-balanced with a much bigger sound and showcases the band’s
growth as songwriters. Songs like “Evil’s Sway” and “The House That Heaven Built” prove
the Vancouver duo has more than staying power with this sophomore release.
The long-awaited, highly anticipated Celebration Rock will be available on June 1st.
