Comment: this batch of 6 tracks spreaded out over 42 minutes is a wondrous experience provided by this Brooklyn combo headed by The Antlers` principial songwriter Peter Silberman. It veers away cathedral organ-driven space rock and acidic Americana propulsions and majestic spaced-outs full of lofty noises, string-based shimmering and soulful fountains. The set involves a crushing cover version of Neil Young`s Harvest Moon. This gig was conveyed to be the Naked Hearts CD release party at Cake Shop. I wish I would have been there.

/Folktronica, Indie folk, Folk indie, Alternative/

Comment: this handful of tracks coming out from within Àlvaro Menèndez`s debut release consists of reverb-rich ukulele chords and pronounced melodies above it channeled craftily into blissed-out glimpses and anthem-near compositions. Indeed, there is up tension between harmonies and dynamics thereby gracing the issue and having an impact upon the listener.

9.1

/Ambient dub, Organic electronica, Dub-Tech, Tech-dub, Breaks, Dub, Minimal techno/ 

Comment: this set of 6 (mostly long-running) compositions by Ronny Pries rotates mostly around knee-deep, sappy dub configurations which are embellished with elusive ambient horizons, concrete music-near whiffs, drilling techno propulsions. On the other side, this issue can be considered as a whole searching for balance between spaced-out, wobbly structures and divergent pace progressions. Solid.
