Van She invite you to enjoy their second record, Idea Of Happiness, their most focused, joyous musical excursion to date. An album stirred by sunbaked travels and fleeting truths, and shaken with the sands of time, Idea Of Happiness was recorded, engineered and produced by the band themselves in Sydney, Australia and mixed in Los Angeles with Tony Hoffer, (Beck, Air, Phoenix and M83). Fluid tropical rhythms saturated in slinky synth bass and the atmosphere from mid-summer night dreams. Catamaran rock, whimsical Fleetwood Mac rips, and unapologetic love songs. This is Van She’s Idea Of Happiness.

North Atlantic Oscillation – Fog Electric

Fog Electric is the follow-up to Grappling Hooks, the band’s debut which received massive critical acclaim when it was released in 2010. NAO are the Scottish based trio. They describe themselves as playing their instruments within a computerized wall of sound and they have been labeled prog-pop and electro-rock. Fog Electric was recorded and produced by Tony Doogan (Super Furry Animals, Mogwai, Teenage Fanclub, Belle & Sebastian) and will lift the band to even higher levels.
‘Super exciting new Rock ‘n’ Roll for a new decade’ – Zane Lowe (BBC Radio One)

Steve Roach & Dirk Serries – Low Volume Music

After a ten year hiatus, Steve Roach and Dirk Serries (formerly recording as vidnaObmana) reconnect to begin anew.
‘Almost an hour of slow evolving, freeform textural music meant as a contemplative counterpoint for fast and hectic times. The smooth morphing and overall lush soundscapes, presented in five lengthy tracks, are centered on pure minimalism, introspection and harmony, opening up vast but tranquil spaces with gently shifting ripples. Delicate sound meditations of deep ambience with a zen-like flow and distinct stillness found in its core. Low Volume Music makes contemporary meant for the here and now.’ – Sonic Immersion

Guy Gerber – Fabric 64: Guy Gerber

Guy Gerber takes an exceptional approach to the latest edition of the fabric series, producing sixteen new tracks exclusively for the mix, to carefully craft his own story. Equipped with a sound layered with emotion, the project features collaborations with artists that share Gerber’s poignant spirit, such as Deniz Kurtel and Footprintz’ Clarian North. Ethereal vocals and subtle builds climb higher than Gerber has gone before, soul searching in rolling melodies and echoing drums.

Marina And The Diamonds – Electra Heart

Electra Heart, is not so much a creative leap forward, more an Olympian pole-vault over the bar of talented-newcomer into the global amphitheater of a cultivated classic.
The self-styled avant-garde D.I.Y. artist has detonated her own experimental past and landed feet first in the future with Electra Heart, a stunningly ambitious, cohesive and confident sonic pulsar spinning between electro-pop euphoria and come-down melancholia. A hook-packed stunner with the sonic ambition of a one-woman Depeche Mode, her onetime theatrical vocals now effortlessly soar between spectral, commanding and towering power-pop, finding her vocal identity in an album about a loss of it.
