FatCat + Õunaviks present: TMW 2015 (2015)




/Indie folk, Dream folk, New Weird, Folk indie, World music, Post-classical, Experimental electronica, Art music, Folktronica, Lo-fi/

Comment: the title of this 35-minute long issue hints at different subjects. Before anything else, it is related to such a musical event as Tallinn Music Week which main goal is to promote Estonian independent artists to invited foreign music promoters and other music business related people. However, the event consists of different compartments and sections where is a place for the artists outside Estonia either (mainly for the artists of Lihuania, and Latvia). FatCat is a well-known record label from UK and Õunaviks is an imprint for home recording artists in Estonia. This sampler will constitute a cohesive whole of folk tinged compositions. Some tracks are infused with more electronic fabrics, some are more traditional or world music oriented. Cirkl`s piece Malmö is a doo wop fuelled electronic masterpiece, Mirjam Tally`s composition Intro - Main Theme From Ülo Pikkov's Film Body Memory binds together post-classical compositional rationales with folksy whiffs. The most pre-eminent artist on it is Vashti Bunyan whose Across The Water is a wondrous trip through the eras and across the mystical plateaus. Additionally, there are represented such artists as Kago, C Duncan, Maarja Nuut, Mari Kalkun, and Spice Mouse.

A&C Download Sampler (2014)



  • Funk
  • Electro-indie
  • Alternative rock
  • Poptronica
  • Baroque pop
  • Neokrautrock
  • Indie pop

Comment: Arts & Crafts is an indie label based on Toronto, Canada whose well-known artists are or has been Bell Orchestre, The American Analogue Set, Moby, Röyksopp, Stars, The Hidden Cameras, Tricky, Los Campesinos!. The recent sampler includes such artists as NO, Gord Downie, The Sadies, And The Conquering, Kevin Drew, Lowell, Reuben and the Dark, Timber Timbre, Trust, and Zeus. Stylistically the compilation used to veer into lush indie electronic and electro pop, circumspect baroque pop, funk-inclined rock, straightforward but viable rock and roll, and even an up-to-date version of krautrock. However, the catchiest and most volatile track on it is Kevin Drew`s You In Your Were, and more pretentious and distant one is Timber Timbre`s Curtains!?. In a word, the Arts & Crafts`s sampler is compelling and worth to be enjoyed again and again. Subscribe to the label`s mailing list.

Weird Forest Records Sampler One (Weird Forest)

Juba kolmandat päeva kuulan plaadifirma Weird Forest sämplerit. Tõepoolest, patt oleks nuriseda selle üle, mida seal pakutakse. 12 erinäolist artisti - kelledest kindlasti tuntuimad on Grouper, Maurizio Bianchi ja Yellow Swans -, kes pakuvad kaootilist ja hulluvat noise rock-kaost (So So Many White White Tigers), sulnist shoegaze`i ja ambient`i segust kõrvapaitust (Grouper), kummastavat introspektiivset folk-croonerlust (Dead Western); legendaarne noisenik Maurizio Bianchi esitleb industriaalse pohmelusega ambient`i - helid justkui valguksid läbi pikkade-pikkade ja siksakiliste metalltorude, DMPH mängib vabavormilist kammerlikku müra elektroakustilises keskkonnas, Yellow Swans manab aeglases tempos õhulist mürarock`i, Sam Goldberg esitleb enam-vähem seda, mida Grouper pakub, tõsi, tehes seda vähemveenvamalt, Derek Monypeny on seestunud digitaalsetest "kollidest" ja "aurudest" - obsessiivne, ainitivahtiv ja kasin. Pump Kinn kulgeb samuti "jääkidel" - teisisõnu, vaevutajutav ambient`i ja spoken word`i ühispuudutus. Jaapani kitarrist Taku Sugimoto improviseerib mürast vaevatud kitarridel, Hexlove/Faulouah on näide New Weird America kaugemast-veidra(ma)st divisjonist. Starving Weirdos`e God Of Echoes Excerpt on siinkirjutaja lemmik käesolevalt kogumikult - kummituslik kitarriambient, mida saadavad sporaadiline trummeldamine ning vokaalsämpel, mis kõlab nii nagu libahunt uriseks oma "väljavalitule" fataalset serenaadi.
