This Patch of Sky - The Immortal, The Invisible



Artist: This Patch of Sky
Album: The Immortal, The Invisible
Genre: Post-rock
Label: Oxide Tones
Year: 2011
From : Eugene, OR

Tracklist
01. A Fire Through the Dark 05:17

05. When the Sun Shine's Through 03:52
06. The Runner 02:56

Hailing from Oregon, This Patch of Sky enjoys Post Rock, but makes music that can’t be defined that closely. Being up front, in-your-face and generally heavier than the normal PR bands, the band formed out of a love for exploring new musical depths without the need of adding a vocalist. Although still a newer band, their fan base continues to grow on a daily basis, both in the USA and nationally

06. Egsun - The Ocean Near You 06:02
07. Egsun - Abracadabra 04:07

Here’s a CD in a brown recycled cardboard package so you probably know what it sounds like as everything in brown recycled cardboard packages sounds either pastoral or droney right? This one ain’t a collaboration. It’s a split CD with 2 tracks by the 6meister who is travelling a darker doomier path than usual but it still has his instantly recognisable trademark guitar musings there to keep you grounded. Egsun is a name I’ve not heard for years but they make a lovely neoclassical racket. Strings and dare I say more twinkles! It’s very maudlin sounding (in fact the whole CD is) so if you’re after some party music you’d better stop reading now! It’s a lovely sounding CD with the Egsun tracks being my favourite on this particular release. more...

As Everson Poe, Maxwell Shults has written, performed, produced, recorded and mixed well over 200 songs in the last few years. Originally just a guitar player, Maxwell taught himself how to play a handful of other instruments, as well as how to record on varioius analog devices, and eventually ProTools.
Defying classification in any one genre, Maxwell’s music is constantly evolving and garnering inspiration from various sources. Always personal but never pretentious, the majority of his work is instrumental. His lyrics are of a dream-like quality, weaving in and out of coherence. Collaborators occasionally lend their voices, or he makes due with his own. His scream is chameleon-like, adapting itself to function within the confines of any given song. With his expertly carved musical landscapes, Maxwell creates an environment in which you can simply get lost in the music and let go.

Gifts From Enola - Well Worn [split w​/​Caravels]



Artist: Gifts From Enola / Caravels
Album: Well Worn [split w​/​Caravels]
Genre: Post-rock, Post-metal
Label: The Mylene Sheath
Year: 2012
From : Harrisonburg, Virginia

Tracklist
01. Angel Face 06:58
02. Water Torture 07:40

Partners in crime Caravels and Gifts From Enola have been threatening to make a split album together for a couple years now, and luckily for all of us... they've finally made good on that threat. Harrisonburg, VA's Gifts From Enola offer up two razor sharp, hardcore-tinged, post-something rippers, pushing forward hard on the evolution of their sound from the critically acclaimed self-titled 2010 full length that included "touches of Thrice's well structured post-hardcore, Tortoise's experimental side and even a little Fugazi thrown in for good measure" according to Decibel Magazine and that Lambgoat called a "gorgeous kaleidoscope of guitar playing and overall musicianship". Meanwhile, Las Vegas, NV natives in Caravels continue to push their multi-textured brand of emotive hardcore into new and unexplored territory. And for a band "already on the cusp of greatness" as Punk News proclaimed, it's impossible to listen to these songs and not believe that they have lived up to that hype with these three tracks - their newest hybrids of old school screamo blended seamlessly with layered post-rock elements. Sure, there is a lot of screaming and yelling, and a lot of loud guitars and drums, and an overall aggressive tone to the body of work on this split, but the only absolute and true over riding common denominator is that both bands effortlessly defy easy classification, making this split both as challenging and as rewarding as they come.

The Gifts From Enola tracks were recorded by Will Benoit at Radar Studios (Junius, Cancer Conspiracy, Constants), while the Caravels tracks were cut at Earthling Studios with Mike Kamoo. Mastering duties were handled by Carl Saff (Grails, Young Widows, Tiny Vipers, The Black Heart Procession), with artwork handled by Charlie Wagers at Three Bears Design (mewithoutYou, Unwed Sailor, The Fray, Caspian). The album is set for a vinyl and digital release on January 24th, 2012 via Topshelf Records and The Mylene Sheath, respectively. Caravels appears courtesy of Topshelf Records, while Gifts From Enola appears courtesy of The Mylene Sheath. Each label will have exclusive colors of vinyl available for both mailorder and retail purchase, while the bands will have an exclusive color as well.

Cicada-晨霧 Drowning in the Fog of Yours



Artist: Cicada
Album: Pieces
Genre: Piano, Neo-classical
Label: 小白兔唱片(White Wabbit Records)
Year: 2011
From : Taiwan

Taiwanese female fronted chamber ensemble Cicada is led by the composer/pianist Jesy Chiang with members including Anne (violin), Wan-Ing (cello), and Bambi (guitar). They released the acclaimed EP "Over the Sea/Under the Water" following the debut performance as the opening act for Ólafur Arnalds' concert in Taipei in 2010,.

While citing Rachel's and Hauschka as influences, Cicada interwove the subtle sensitivity and delicacy to the composition. Its mixture of contemporary classical music and vague oriental feel is fresh sonic experience to listeners. As a sequel of the EP, the release Pieces adds tracks with warmth and clarity to tell a story about one's introspection and the growth of the mindset

Cicada is also known for its connection with artists in various areas. Each release features stunning cover art by rising female artists in Taiwan. The upcoming performance in Oct. 2011 will be a blend of music, dance and theater. This highly anticipated performance will be an striking collaboration of Taiwanese young/cutting edge artists.

Cicada成軍於2009年底,以鋼琴、木吉他、小提琴、大提琴四種樂器交織而成。之所以會選擇Cicada(蟬)作為團名,是因為人們察覺到蟬的出現,往往是因為聽到了牠們的聲音,而不是看見其形體。

樂團的核心人物是江致潔,自幼學習鋼琴,對藝術創作有很高的熱忱。2011年,Cicada 的第一場公開演出,是為冰島鋼琴作曲家 Ólafur Arnalds 台北演唱會開場。2012年推出首張正式專輯《散落的時光》,創作概念延伸自2011年的EP《Over the Sea / Under the Water》中的最後三首告別系列,敘述的是一段回顧過往時光的自省過程,同時,Cicada也正籌劃一場結合舞蹈、劇場的演出,將於2011/10/21(五)在The Wall舉行。

01. Confirmation Bias

06. Farewell: A New Beginning

Shy, Low’s debut self-titled full length creates a particular atmosphere; a feeling you can’t seem to shake even hours after the album has ended. Like a collective of divine watchmakers, Shy, Low has created a dynamic universe of deep swells, dark, cathartic crescendos, and powerful emotional releases, and all the while completely lacking lyrics, inviting the listener to define and explore this universe for themselves.

Wang Wen - Guang



Wang Wen was formed in the city of Dalian, a busy seaport in northeast china, in the year of 1999. Wangwen was at first started by two awkward (at that time!) guitarists who were crazy about The Smashing Pumpkins and later joined by the drummer who also brought along the band name, representing the idea of an unknown band and insensibility to what others say.
The band began to record their first demo- ‘the animal world’ on their own in the same year they formed. Since then the band members had been changing while continuous creation of new pieces of music and performing. ‘lingshuihe’(‘the IceWaterRiver’)was recorded on their own in 2000 and the third demo ‘the Tenebrous Yinyang Road’ was also completed two years later.
During this period the music style of the band had been gradually changing from vocal to instrumental and started to draw broad attentions both from the reviews and the audience as well. It was considered as the one of the leading band from china in the fields of post-rock and acid rock. The band was influenced by: Mogwai, Red Red Meat, Mono, Explosion in the Sky, Polvo, Tortois–GYBE, etc.

The multi-instrumentalist five-piece typically features Reid Erickson on drums, Brian Pavloff on keyboards, Marc Stranger-Najjar on bass, Kirill Orlov on guitars, and Chris Kang on lead vocals & guitars. Its members can regularly be found switching instruments and contributing to layered vocal harmonies, picking up a melodica or mandolin, or hammering on guitars with a tambourine through layers of delay.

The group came together a piece at a time in Chicago, beginning when new roommates Kang and Stranger-Najjar found common ground in post- and progressive-rock. After cycling in and out several prospective bandmates, the addition of longtime collaborators Erickson and Orlov, as well as the classically-trained but Zappa-inspired keyboardist Pavloff, completed the lineup over the next two years.
