[Teaser of the day] Dub DK - 21st Century Schizoid Man

Cherri Voncelle - 999

Jane Siberry - Teenager (1996)

Sheeba

9.2

/Singer-songwriter, Alt-folk/

Comment: this was the first album by the Canadian musician Jane Siberry on her own imprint Sheeba Records. There are presented 14 songs spreaded out a little over a hour. All these pieces were written in her teenager years and recorded later with the assistance of an acoustic guitar and piano (regarding some tracks) devoid of electric keyboards and supplementary electronics ordinarily represented on her other issues. More concretely, all those templates and dodges represented there in an intimate way used to depict dreamy and a little bit nostalgic pictures because Siberry watches her past events at a distance, through her retrospective eyes. It is called the memories of finding out her personality.

Doll - Lusio Nova (2008/2010)

CLLCT

9.0

/Alt-folk, DIY, Anti-folk, Dream folk, Singer-songwriter, New Weird America, Covers, Indie folk, Folk indie/

Comment: Shannon Doll is a singer-songwriter who is being a part of Bloomington, the Indiana-based collective CLLCT which can be considered one of the most important DIY-related platforms worldwide. Doll provides a set of 9 songs which is filled in with pronounced intimacy, exhausting dreaminess and contemplative melancholy, though, she is apparently aware of the sequences of varying chords and tempo. Indeed, sometimes she used to infiltrate strummed string magic into an embodiment composed of fingerpicked chords. By the way, three compositions of the whole are nice cover versions (Bob Dylan`s Blowin`In The Wind, Tom Petty`s Wildflowers, and Paul Simon`s Duncan). Love it.

Mixtape 22.09.2012

Mediafire

Comment: as usual the course of the particular compilation reflects upon a huge array of styles and genres and moods extending from poignant electronic and rhythm explorations to string-based ambient and otherworldly freak folk appearances to straightforward post-punk and provoking No Wave "punk" propulsions. The album will be launch with a Tropicalia-influenced alternative pop, and East Of Borneo lifts up its hand burned with kraut and improvisation-tinged acids.
