Polar Twins - Wee Small Hours At Swans Neck [cd / lp + cd, Tonefloat / Bertus] Dirk or Dick Polak (

For 15 years, the Rotterdam Tonefloat label working to build, with many Dutch artists in the stable. Firm catalog Meanwhile, there is nothing wrap film more to zwevends Tonefloat and you could also rename either Leading wrap film Leading wrap film to it. At most it is floating like a free bird, because the catalog label boss Charles Beterams builds testifies quirkiness and also a good taste. The music of diverse artists generally has roots in the 60 to 80, but is all right now. Ambient, avant-garde, musique concrète, chansons, wrap film rock and electronics all find shelter there, albeit with an eclectic touch. Now they have a label night in London (October 28) and Tilburg (November 4) in the offing, in addition to several regular gigs, I take a handful of new albums together here under the microscope.
Polar Twins - Wee Small Hours At Swans Neck [cd / lp + cd, Tonefloat / Bertus] Dirk or Dick Polak (Mecano) and Mark Ritsema (Spasmodique, Cobraz, later in Mecano) meet in 2005 at an art exhibition and click artistic immediately. Mark then participates in again resuscitated group Mecano, a group where he used a fan of is. In 2008, they embark on a joint album under the name Polar Twins. That among all companies by and in the later hours, "In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning" as Frank Sinatra has sung so beautifully. Now I can both gentlemen are musically not compare, though the vote on their album Wee Small Hours At Swans Neck be nice melancholic. Dirk and Mark possess penetrating, like baritone voices and know you thus quite touching. From 2010 they have with friends and colleagues completed the album and is available from today. They frame their music and guests wrap film including acoustic guitars, strings and brass, accordion, drums, synthesizers, backing vocals and piano. This provides a varied and catchy whole that varies between folk, chanson, pop, avant-garde and art rock, with the song-oriented aspect always prevails. This makes it difficult to embrace these songs and in good to go. Especially if you also have to know that they come somewhere between Peter Hammill, Nick Cave, The Triffids, SodaStream, David Byrne and David Bowie. They sing mainly in English, but also bring French and German sung songs to sing. It has become a varied and high-quality wrap film album in all respects. To enjoy late into the night to enjoy! Listen online at Soundcloud: Divide My Love Environmental Twist The Sleep Of Reason - The Sleep Of Reason [3LP + live lp + cd, Tonefloat / Bertus] In the next release I get two of my heroes against, namely Dirk Serries and Jon Attwood. Dirk Serries is a Belgian musician, who I follow from the 80s with its depth, spatial and evocative project Vidna Obmana also written as vidnaObmana, which is Serbian for optical illusion. Serries shall therefore wrap film always a surreal sound, layered on the day. Music where you imagine yourself in a parallel universe or something. For those seeking more profound ambient, should really dive once that discography. After 2007 he no longer. Use this name Furthermore Serries always looking for the essence of the sound and know this fact always to surprise. He appears in numerous solo projects or partnerships, wrap film which Continuum, 3 Seconds wrap film Of Air, Akhet, The Black Fire, Fear Falls Burning, Neurotic Youth, Principle Of Silence and Terrace Of Memories few examples. The other artist that I follow closely for many years, albeit a decade later, the guitarist Jon Attwood, better known for his melancholic guitar ambient project Yellow6, where I now do well against the 40 releases have standing in the closet. He often conjures wrap film evocative dreamy ambient with wave influences. Sometimes without head and tail, and at other times very focused. Fans of Labradford and Robin Guthrie can relish here. They have worked in recent years to their trilogy called The Sleep Of Reason together. The release is now and has become a colossal work, three LPs and a live LP and also includes a CD with a selection of tracks that are on the LPs. There are only 200 made, so haste is again good. I limit myself wrap film to the discussion of the CD, but it has been significant enough to be to the rest curious. Their method is here that they develop their self-produced wrap film guitar drones to atmospheric pieces wrap film with its own unique character. Now both men quite space in stippling, wrap film which is not surprising is that the tracks are not under 8 minutes clocks. This they know a lot to look. The depth rudderless way Through this improvisational approach may know
