Peter Krogholm — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 13:16:57 +0000

They have taken their good time, Spleen United, getting this third full length out. ‘School Of Euphoria’, following the awesome ‘Neanderthal’ (2008), has in fact been announced a couple of times, latest about a year and half ago with 6+ minute single ‘Sunset To Sunset’ which inspired an improvised 24 hour outdoor set (check the [...]

Korallreven: An Album By Korallreven

Peter Krogholm — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 10:49:31 +0000

Another of the albums we failed miserably at sharing with you last year (although we did point you to them in a September SpaceScan) was ‘An Album By Korallreven’ by… well, Korallreven. Sharing our philosophy of “better late than never”, the Swedish duo aka Marcus Joons and Daniel Tjäder (also keyboards in The Radio Dept.) [...]

Last year Finnish synth-krautians Siinai (Markus Joensuu, Risto Joensuu, Saku Kämäräinen and Matti Ahopelto) released their grand debut album ‘Olympic Games’ and about a week ago this really cool video for album closing ‘Finish Line’, directed by Caleb Dunham and quite fittingly taking us back in time to the 1952 Summer Olympics in Helsinki, hit [...]

Back in December I featured Danish indierock six-piece Anchorless in the Music Alliance Pact mixtape with ‘A Step Too Steep’ from their 2010 debut EP, which you can download by clicking here! Earlier this month the gang released single ‘Settle With The Signs’, the first off their debut full length ‘Every Nook And Cranny’ (out [...]

Autoband: Sunbeam

Peter Krogholm — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 09:09:35 +0000

January 16 Gudmund Østgård released his eponymous debut album as Autoband – an album I haven’t heard in full but am rather curious to hear, as first single ‘Sunbeam’, featuring his sister Ingvild Østgård on vocal, really is a downbeat, melancholic electronica gem more than fit for the season in this part of the world. [...]

SLKJ: The Angel Of Death

Peter Krogholm — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 06:21:44 +0000

Back in 2009 I was quite excited about Vuk aka Finnish-American singer Emily Cheeger’s second album, ‘The Plains’, which made it on our 20 Best Albums hit-list. Since then she’s started a new synthpop project with Junnu Alajuuma (Kap Kap) called SLKJ, which is short for Suomi-Leijona ja Kuollut Jänis and – according to my [...]

Kúra: Anchor

Peter Krogholm — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 12:51:37 +0000

A few hours ago this video for Icelandic/Danish electronica trio Kúra’s awesome track ‘Anchor’, co-produced by acclaimed DJ and producer Buda (Lulu Rouge, who’s been working with Kúra singer Fanney Ósk Þórisdóttir), hit the www. It is directed by Kristian Touborg and Jesper Dalgaard and quite pleasing to the eye…

Hymns From Nineveh: Hymns From Nineveh

Peter Krogholm — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 12:09:57 +0000

Recently we published our 20 Best Albums of 2011 list painfully aware of all the albums we never got around to mention, one being Jonas Haahr Petersen’s eponymous solo debut as Hymns From Nineveh. Chances are you might already have heard of him and then you’re free to move on. If not, spend a minute [...]

Burning Hearts: Burn Burn Burn

Peter Krogholm — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 11:53:33 +0000

February 1 Finnish duo Burning Hearts aka Jessika Rapo (Le Futur Pompiste, Magenta Skycode) and Henry Ojala (Cats On Fire, Magenta Skycode) will release their second full length album, ‘Extinctions’, to follow up on their 2009 debut, ‘Aboa Sleeping’, and 2010s four song EP ‘Into the Wilderness’. The new album is a neat collection of indiepop [...]
