Intimite Homerecordings | U_mä is an indie folk duo and at the same time couple from Barcelona, that put its love to one another on an album, which perfectly makes sense if you take some time to think about it: u_mä is Pau Vallvé and Maria Coma and if you look at their first names you might get a little closer to what u_mä is. To make it easier for you: pa|u_mä|ria. So, their self-titled album (u_mä) IS what they ARE. Listen & Read more »

Extraordinary Pop | Now and then it happens that I discover music by pure accident. And now and then it happens that I fall in love with the music I find. Both incidents occurred when I discovered the Swedes Björn Kleinhenz and Susanna Brandin (Winter took his life). I can’t remember how I stumbled upon their Split EP “Blood bone / Home alone 2”, but as soon as I downloaded and listened to it, I was caught by their wonderful songs. Listen & Read more »

Gameboys & accordions | Mark Denardo managed to connect two of the most contrasting genres in the netlabelscene – chiptunes and singer/songwriter music. On his six-track “Lion, Tiger, Bear” EP, digital 8-bit sounds are being served with analogue instruments like acoustic guitar, piano, accordion, violin and lyrics that come along in a folk and blues-like style. This creative mixture is unique in its style and therefore, Mark Denardo’s music deserves its own label: chip-folk. Listen & Read more »

Indie Rock/Pop from France | Another Record is a small French record label that uses CC-licences as a promotion tool. Because their music can be shared freely, the attention to their artists and their physical releases is growing. In the end of February they have released a nice compilation called “Sweets For The Wild 3”, where you can find various kinds of indie rock/pop music ranging from melancholic singer/songwriter to experimental, psychedelic pop songs and guitar-driven indie rock.

Dreamy Acoustic Pop | I always appreciate a good level of self-irony. A musician who describes her music with “acoustic dilettante post-something” must be likeable, I assumed. As soon as I listened to the first seconds of Entertainment For The Braindead’s Hypersomnia EP, I immediatly underlined my first impression. And suddenly there was this image in front of my inner eye: A young woman from Cologne is sitting in front of her Laptop and starts recording plain and simply wonderful acoustic pop music, that is full of life and everything around it.
