The Black Atlantic - Dandelion (MP3)
The Black Atlantic - Heirloom (MP3)
The Black Atlantic - Old, Dim Light (MP3)

It all started with a Valentine's gift. It was back in 2006 when Geert van der Velde wrote a song for his girlfriend. She must have liked it. They married and Geert formed a band. The Black Atlantic was born. Two years, several gigs and countless jams later, the group has recorded its debut album, "Reverence for Fallen Trees". It was created over the fall of 2008 in a log cabin in the Adirondack Mountains.

It seems as if Velde and his band took a deep breath to capture the world around and inside of them - "Reverence for Fallen Trees" is the introspective and intimate outcome. For the lovers of soft tunes and sweet melodies, The Black Atlantic might be a new favorite band that it's really worth watching out for.

Virtual omnipresence. The Black Atlantic do the right thing. As an indie band, the dutch four-piece has not only signed to a wonderful and dedicated netlabel (Beep! Beep!), they are also virtually omnipresent. Next to their official site, they use Twitter, Myspace, Last.fm, Hyves, Facebook, Mininova and man, they are on Wikipedia! That's how it should be! Another great thing: You can get their album on vinyl and/or cd. Even better: You can see them live on their upcoming european tour.

Anois - Beds And Dishes (MP3)

Anois - Waltz Of Wolfs (MP3)

Anois - Homecall (MP3)

Anois is Lars Kranholdt and Anne Baier from northern Germany. Lars is not a newbie to aerotone and the netaudioscene and neither is Anne. As This Mess Is Mine Lars already put out two bedroom folktronica EPs at aerotone. Together with his brother Daniel, he appeared on two compilations of the aerotone netlabel. As Leander they drift towards a slightly more electronica style, that can still be coined folktronica, but with less folk in it. Anne does not seem to be as busy, but hey, she doesn't have to - as long as she keeps teaming up with Lars to create such lovely songs as they do as Anois.

"Tree House Whispers" is not the first Anois-Release. They have had a few appearances at the mexican netlabel poni republic. "Tracery On A Frosted Window" was their debut and they also did a split EP with Sunday Parlours. Now, more than one year after their release at the poni republic, they are back with new material, that is a diverse mix of original folkpoptronica. Some songs sound surprisingly happy ("Beds and Dishes), while others are full of cloudy moods and melodies that offer you quite a big sip of a sweet drink called melancholy ("November").

There is one thing about this album that makes it difficult to make up an opinion. Diversity. The 13 songs on "Tree House Whispers" somehow don't seem to fit on this album. On the other hand it is the diversity that makes this album even more interesting to my ears. You get handclapping popsongs that make you sing along, folky tunes that have been added up with some electronic bits and pieces and sometimes there is a noisy atmosphere and experimental glitch hidden in between some bedroom-folk that comes along with lovely instruments like strings, trumpets, glockenspiel and other kling-klang stuff.

This is definitely an album with a lot to discover. Enjoy your journey!

If you sign up to aerotones newsletter, there is even more to discover, because every subscriber gets a second Anois release for free!

Sleepmakeswaves - "One Day You Will Teach Me To Let Go Of My Fears" (MP3)
Sleepmakeswaves - "So That The Children Will Always Shout Her Name" (MP3)

The EP kicks off with "I Will Write Peace On Your Wings And You Will Fly Over The World" - a 7:22 minutes long track that kicks off hard to slow down and build up again. Some parts of the song can even be associated with a metal-like style.
"Exits To Nowhere" brings you down again and gives you some time to prepare for "One Day You Will Teach Me To Let Go Of My Fears", which is the strongest and most beautiful track on their EP.
After a pretty calm and "minimal" introduction, that only features some ambient background sounds and two guitars, the song develops a fascinating middle-part from 1:30 to 4:10. As soon as the distorted guitars, the strings and the drums set in, the song takes you over. Completely. This is one of the best postrock-pieces I have heard in a long time. Open up for it and it will take you over, too. But listen to it loudly!
After this musical highlight it is quite difficult to keep up the beauty and brilliance of "One Day You Will Teach Me..." but still, "In Today Already Walks Tomorrow" in a whole has the power to grab you and hold you close enough to make you stay with it.
The subtle electronic variations, the well placed eruptions and the perfectly arranged build-ups create something that deserves a bigger attention to this australian quartet. More than 1000 Downloads in the first week after the re-release on the Lost Children Netlabel might be the beginning of something big. Certainly a band to keep ones eyes on!

Just like Fresh Poulps debut-release "Octopus One", the second part of the Octopus Compilation gathers two sides.

On Side A "Guests" you can find tracks by guest artists, label's friends or some casual collaborators. Some of the pieces might give us an idea of future Fresh Poulp artists. 26 year old Cyril Guillory for example, who is also known as Aquilone (he has already put out an album at muertepop). His Electronica-Shoegazer-Pop sounds very promising and "Chess Wall" is one of the highlights of the "Octopus Two" compilation.

Side B, the "Family"-side, gives an overview of artists that have already released some works on Fresh Poulp Records. Pix for example, whose releases have also been mentioned in some 2008 netaudio highlights here at phlow-magazine, contributed a new piece to the compilation. His lovely Electronica-Downtempo-Hiphop mix is allways a good treat. But there are many more Fresh Poulp veterans on "Octopus Two" - pieR, Guitoud and Yarkouy for example, who present their distinct electronica-dub styles.

So, there is a lot to look forward to in 2009. Fresh Poulp Records should be on the watchlist.

Did are Guido Savini, Giancarlo Maresca, Andrea Tirone and Andrea Prato from the Motor-City of Turin, which is known for its car factories and network of highways. Maybe this has something to do with their music. Because Dids sound buzzes like a good running engine. Never stopping beats, the baseline goes on without hesitation, guitars are mashing up the scene and electronic elements are everywhere adding this little bit of extra extra. "Ask U2" seems to be a forerunner for their upcoming album that will invade our dancefloors hopefully very soon.

Placed in "The Dancy Issue" in the back-catalogue of the italien netlabel Kirstens Postcard, Dids "Ask U2" EP is surely something that will find it's way all around the world. So, come on and help spreading the word!

His debut "I don't know what I'm doing" (2003) was well received in the online community and made him become one of the first "web-musicians" who gained attention beyond the digital world.

"[...] Despite giving my music away for free online, my songs have been licensed for television, played on commercial and campus radio, and I made enough money from licensing and sales to do a real pressing of my first CD [...] " (Brad Turcotte)

"I don't know what I'm doing", that was often compared to the sound of Beck, led to countless remixes that were featured on ccMixter, a Creative Commons remix-platform. Some of these remixes were put on the album "I Don't Know What I'm Doing Remixed".

"I put the source files for my album I Don't Know What I'm Doing online and people made a lot of remixes. I Don't Know What I'm Doing Remixed is a compilation of some of my favorites." (Brad Turcotte)

For his new album "Out of it" he allready made source files available and it will surely not take long for new remixes to come up. "Out of it" continues the melodic sound of "I don't know what I'm doing" but this time Brads indie/alternative rock comes along with stronger beats and even more obvious guitars.

Besides his great music, Brad Sucks is one of only a few "web-musicians" who fully adapted the open source licencing model to music. He uses the BY-SA Creative Commons license, that also allows commercial use of his works (Usually netlabels and musicians go for a noncommercial license that restricts commercial use).

"A lot’s changed since I started putting music on the Internet way back in 2001. Artist-endorsed free downloads were shocking. Flexible pricing was still an untested novelty. It was rare to find source files from artists and sharing music wasn’t encouraged by new artists. Recently I was asked if I’d do anything different this time around. Would I still give the music away for free? Would I still give away my source files? Would I still be easygoing about copyright? Surely I could pull back now and try to cash in. And I honestly couldn’t imagine why I’d do things different. The only reason I, a dude who made an album by himself in a country basement, has had any sort of success is because people took it upon themselves to share my music with their friends. They remixed it, they used it in their videos, they played it on their podcasts, they included it in software and games and it took on a life of its own. To sabotage that would be a huge, retarded mistake. Instead I’ll be grateful if Out of It worms around the world in even close to the same freaky way I Don’t Know What I’m Doing did and continues to." (Brad Turcotte)

If you want to know more about Brad, visit his website and listen to this Interview (Podcast), done by the Redhat Magazine.

Enough said! Now go and listen to Brad Sucks, kids!

Beep! Beep! is going for promotion and distribution of independent music and tries to create an accessible communtiy which is supposed to unite artists and their audience. By using the Creative Commons licence, the dutch netlabel offers all releases as free downloads but also promotes ‘hardcopy’ albums wrapped up in a beautiful artwork, as one can read on their website.

Their first labelsampler (Behold My Puny Bears Vol. I), which contains songs of all seven Bands that allready joined Beep! Beep!, offers some surprises. There is the Postrockers from We vs. Death who actually sing for the first time ever! You get to hear great Indierock from The Walt, Kismet and Embrace Fire, Hardcore by Schotel Van De Dag, Indiepop by Paper Tiger and very new to my ears: Dutch Singer/Songwriter Pop by Het Gloren. All in all very talented groups and high quality recordings.

The label is partly state-funded, which is a new way of running a netlabel and therefore some kind of prototype. Besides listening to the great music, it is also interesting to read their statements on free music culture and profit:

"[]...we’re not here to make a profit. Any profits will be used to maintain our little organization or goes directly to our artists."

"[]...free music on the internet = a lot more listeners, more listeners = more fans, more fans = more shows, more shows = more merch sales, more merch sales = more money for the band, money for the band = more great music for free. Internet is our friend and free music downloads are awesome!"

While other netlabels offer some EPs and Albums, Beep! Beep! goes for the complete discography of it's featured artists. So be sure that there is a lot to come!

Bufi (Mateo Gonzalez Bufi) from Mexico City is not a typical laptop rocker. Allthough this is the first image that comes to ones mind, Bufis music is different from simple computer generated electropop. His indiedance has a lot to offer. The synthpop and electro funk elements as well as the catchy pop hooks let me think of Daft Punk. And the fact that Mateo is studying classical guitar adds another level of substance to his electrifying sound. Bufis "Homeless Hero EP" contains four playful songs that belong in your ears and on every dancefloor. Go get it!

Dubosmium - "Istandub (Supermoog)" (MP3)
(MP3)
Dubosmium - "Overdub Da Dub (Yarkouy)" (MP3)
Dubosmium - "7Heavens" (MP3)

"Green Element" is partly a review of Dubosmiums earlier release "Horiozontal plane polar Dub", but it also features three new tracks, that give us a little impression of his forthcoming longplayer, that will be released later in 2008.

The first track ("7Heavens") is very atmospheric in its sound and it features an ever-present oriental touch, that is highlighted through vocals by Said Jaha. The next two tracks are quite similar in it's sound and make it a lot easier to find obvious connections to dub music. But still, the songs feature a strong ambient element. The last five tracks from the "Green Element" EP are remixes by other Fresh Poulp artists like Rafiralfiro, Xena Supermoog, Silent Bells, Duck and Yarkouy that range from ambient tracks ("Tuvadelic Odyssey") to hard electro-dub with drum 'n' bass elements ("IstanDub").

All in all the "Green Element" EP is a different and interesting approach towards dub music. To me it's still warm in it's mood but at the same time dark and deep. So, it seems to be perfect for the dark nights of the upcoming summertime.

Cheky and Loocila's (Jóvenes y Sexys) debut „Bruno EP“ starts with the sound of a cuckoo clock and introduces the song „El Reloj“ (The Clock). Just a few seconds later they come up with their omnipresent acoustic guitar that is the basis for all of their songs. As soon as the vocals set in, they catch you with sweet melodies that are often accentuated with suitably keyboard-sounds.

While the first two songs are in Spanish, the second half of Jóvenes y Sexys' „Bruno EP“ is in English. On „Gold Day“ they were supported by Joiejoiejoie, who is also releasing at the mexican netlabel Poni Republic. The last song of their lovely EP is called „Divine Hammer“ and is my favourite track by the mexican-venezuelan duo, because it just makes you sing along: "I'm just looking for one divine hammer. One divine hammer, one divine hammer. I'd bang it all day..." And let's be honest: aren't we all looking for a divine hammer sometimes?

Pourquoi me Reveiller was founded in 1998 and means "Why awaken" or in a broader sense "Why should I wake up". In 2005 they recorded their debut full length "They took my bed outside". Although the opener is called "bloody hours of nasty torture", recording the album must have been great fun because each song on their debut LP sounds completely different.

Besides the typical indie-setup (guitar, bass and drums), Pourquoi me Reveiller introduced piano, accordion, electronic sounds, samples and noise elements, that helped to create an eclectic indie-rock album, that ranges from experimental rock to acoustic pop. The Dutch septet is currently working on new songs, until those are put on an album, you can find "They took my bed outside" at Dying Giraffe Recordings.

The person behind The Heavens is Richard Green, who is involved in a couple of other bands like Ultrasound and The Somatics. As a songwriter, guitarist and singer he seems to have such a big output of musical creativity that he needs at least three bands to be satisfied.

On The Heavens EP he recorded four catchy songs with the help of some friends, who took care of other instruments, like organ, drums and bass. The Heavens are a good listen for everyone who misses the good old days of traditional Brit-Rock. Their excellent but short self-titled and self-released EP is freely available at Jamendo.

The organic, sensitive and emotional sound of their homerecorded 13 track debut is highlighted through Paus and Marias voices that perfectly fit into the glockenspiel, piano, keyboard and guitar sounds. Their music is based on looped instrumental sounds that are usually slowly building up until the point where the drums or vocals start.

Although "Adéu" and "Por" are my favourite tracks, you should get the whole picture by listening from the first to the last song of their very personal and intimate album, which is "a mixture of nostalgia, nature and "home made" to them. What is also very special about U_mäs album, is their decision to sing in their native language (Catalan). For people who are interested in the meaning and lyrics of their songs, Pau and Maria have added an explanation and translation to each of their songs.

Solaire can not be labelled as a typical post rock band, because they are expanding the range of this genre by introducing lyrics, samples (that partly seem to come from original movie quotes) and easy to follow guitar melodies that somehow make the songs predictable. But this impression of predictability won’t last for long, because their repetitive and catchy melodies seem to be a thoughtfully placed stylistic device to prepare the forthcoming musical eruption, that creates a unique and intense moment. Their debut full length "…and then I strapped explosives to my body" is a collection of those intense moments and it is available at the dutch online promotion and distribution platform for independent bands, as well as record label Dying Giraffe Recordings, where you can download some of their songs for free, published under a Creative Commons License.

Is it indie or pop, is it folk or singer/songwriter? It doesn’t matter. Their blend of humor and sadness, darkness and light is impressive and suddenly there is no need to label their music in terms of a genre.

Susanna’s lovely voice, that doesn’t need a lot of instrumental support and Björn’s great talent to write extraordinary popsongs like “The best days of my life” formed a musical couple that fits perfectly. This is probably one reason for Björn to have Susanna with him as a constant member of his live band.

“Blood bone / Home alone 2” contains four songs by each artist and it was originally released on tape(!), which was put out by froggi records in 2007. The Scandinavian music journal it’s a trap re-released the tape as a free digital EP. One more hint for you: Björn and Susanna are on tour through Europe (mostly Germany) and you should make sure to drop by and say hello to them after you’ve seen their show at your local venue.

Mark Denardo grew up with playing different traditional instruments and at a certain age he rediscovered the gameboy. Since then the New York (Brooklyn)-based musician and composer treats the nostalgic plastic machine as a valuable musical instrument and connects familiar gameboy generated 8-bit sounds with traditional blues and folk music, which is especially transparent on his “Lion, Tiger, Bear” EP (listen to the songs “Grass”, “Fare” and “Muse”).

It is important to him to know how to use a technology to expand his horizons. So, using a gameboy is an evolution in composition to him. The way he creates his music is based on a DIY-attitude and spontaneous ideas that are being put on top of each other until there is something that can be called a song. Another fact that needs to be pointed out is that Mark Denardo joined the biggest chiptune conglomerate you can think of: 8bitpeoples. And that’s the place to be for an 8-bit-gourmet. If you want to know more about him, have a look at this short potrait or see him live and in action right here.

“Sweets For The Wild 3” comes along as a double-album featuring 22 songs by 22 artists. Because most of the bands are French, you can gain a pretty interesting insight to the French indie scene. All songs are well produced and of high quality. While most of the songs are easy to follow, some of them need some time to get used to, so be patient. One thing is for sure: your patience will be rewarded, because there is a lot to discover: new and upcoming bands and more importantly, a lot of interesting approaches towards pop music.

“Sweets For The Wild 3” is freely available as MP3 and OGG and while you are surfing the Another Record Website, make sure to check out their other releases, too.

The Hypersomnia EP is a collection of 13 very intimite and warm songs that you will play again, again and again. This dreamy female voice and these wonderful lullabies on Entertainment For The Braindead’s debut consist of a creative mixture of sounds, including keys, ukulele, guitar, flute, glockenspiel and unconventional percussion (boxes, cans and clapping). And it is hard to believe, but this album was recorded on a laptop, only with a USB-microphone attached to it.

The 13 tracks from the Hypersomnia EP are available as a free download, but there is something that makes the whole EP even more valuable: there is a handmade physical edition of the album, which can be purchased on the artist’s website. Each CD is a unique, handmade product, freshly made for each order. The CD comes along with a linoleum printed cover and Julia, the woman behind Entertainment For The Braindead, doesn’t even feel like setting a price for her self released album, so it is your choice to pay whatever you think it's worth. I think you should hurry, because she might run out of paint and glue very soon.
