Tom Cary

GENRE: Rock, Alternative, Indie, FreecoreIt worth a try!

Label: Miga
Release date: 2010
Total running time: 0:30:50
Tom Cary are believers of the “do it yourself” with a hardworking and combative perspective. They´ve become one of the most interesting projects sprung from the Spanish underground thanks to their sound and attitude. Powerful, percussive, mutant, raw, electric and exciting are some of the adjectives used to describe their live shows and recordings.
Steve Albini produced their first album, “That´s right! Clean your soul” in 2008. In 2009 they have released “Grace of the pure hearts”, a compilation of b-sides and rarities from their first period. They are planning the recording of their second studio album with Steve Albini in 2010.
Despite not being well-known for the big audience, the 2008-2009 tour included 60 shows around the world, all of which were possible thanks to the support of an audience who love music in its pure state. They´ve taken part successfully in festivals such as South by Southwest 2009 (Austin, U.S.), Rock al Parque 2009 (Bogotá, Colombia), FIB Benicàssim 2006 (Castellón, Spain), FNB 2009 (Caracas, Venezuela), Biennale Europea (Bari, Italia, 2008), etc.

Byron – Forbidden Drama

Byron

GENRE: Rock, Art-Rock, Progressive Rock, AlternativeIt worth a try!

Label: A & A REcords
Release date: 2006
Total running time: 1:07:27
byron was founded in 2006 and released their debut, “Forbidden Drama”, in October 2007. Their music is extremely difficult to classify, due to the very diverse influences it bears – from Thrak-era King Crimson, Dream Theater or late Pink Floyd to Noir Désir, Radiohead, Coldplay, Gorillaz, going through My Brightest Diamond, Lamb and Tori Amos up to Prince and David Bowie. This music has it all – feeling, insight, instrumental proficiency, smart lyrics.
Dan’s voice is a maelstrom of feeling, and that’s just a lame scratch on the surface. Going from soft and warm (Watercolor, Toast Proposal) to almost tormented (the ending of Annoying Detail), to harsh and abrasive (Losing Control), all the way spiced with specific, wild-on-the-verge-of-insanity vocal harmonies (most notably on Blow Up My Tears). The keyboards work also shines, with brilliant, prog-inspired interventions every now and then (Losing Control, The Dawn of a Drunk Bum, Fake Life) and the guitar work is rock-solid. The use of flute on several tracks also works miracles, bringing a certain distinctness to the whole. Did I say Jethro Tull? Well, you get the picture.

TRACKLIST
01 – Fake Life
02 – Forbidden Drama
03 – Crossroads
04 – Watercolor
05 – Losing Control
06 – The Dawn of a Drunk Bum
07 – Far Away
08 – Annoying Detail
09 – On the Road
10 – Essential Piece

Aeon Sable – Per Aspera Ad Astra

Aeon Sable

GENRE: Rock, Alternative, Gothic RockIt worth a try!

Label: AFMusic
Release date: 2010
Total running time: 0:39:56
Long enough Aeon Sable have waited for the star to shine. The debut from the german duo is entitled „Per aspera ad astra“ and delivers a very individual interpretation of Goth-Rock.
Din-Tah Aeon and n1n0, already enriching the ‘dark side of music’ with other projects in the past, are now on the road with a self-produced, 40 minutes-set, tied on the atmosphere of Fields of the Nephilim or The Sisters of Mercy, revamping it into a modern style. The album not only shines with unique sound and sophisticated tracks, but also inebriates the attentive listenes with extraordinary audioeffects. The likewise self designed artwork is enriched with drawings from the also german industrial artist ghostfog. Let yourself be absorbed into the world of Aeon Sable.

TRACKLIST
01 – Darkriders
02 – At The Edge Of The World
03 – Exodus
04 – Monument

Tangled Thoughts of Leaving – Tiny Fragments

Tangled Thoughts of Leaving

GENRE: Rock, Alternative, Metal, Progressive MetalIt worth a try!

Label: Lost Children
Release date: 2009
Total running time: 0:28:37
Tangled Thoughts of Leaving’s music is progressive by nature. The inclusion of sparse influences, guided by concept and fused together, is the conception of their own sound, as each musicians respective inspirations force the collective into unchartered territory.
After several years of existence and growth, mid 2007 saw Tangled Thoughts of Leaving construct themselves a purpose built, make shift creative space.
A medium sized room, dedicated to forward thinking; the birth of new sound. In that very room, what was previously theory, became reality, and so began the Process of four people leaving mediocrity behind them.
In the months of January, February and March of 2008, TToL used their creative space to record a concept, aptly titled ‘Tiny Fragments’. This EP was to represent their current thought process. They gave themselves a series of themes, ideas from a previously recorded improvisation and a set amount of time. What followed was roughly 3 months of sporadic sessions, in which the 18 minute, 3 part title track was written and recorded.
With the creation of Tiny Fragments the band have demonstrated that they would rather risk potential failure than never pursue the invention of interesting art. Tiny Fragments was an experiment and is the final step before they put a short lived emphasis on live performance, then return to the studio to record their debut album.

TRACKLIST
01 – Tiny Fragments Part One
02 – Tiny Fragments Part Two
03 – Tiny Fragments Part Three
04 – The Banshee

Jakartah – In The Nervous Light Of Coincidence

Jakartah

GENRE: Rock, Alternative, Metal, Post Hardcore

Label: Acoustic Fireworks
Release date: 2009
Total running time: 0:48:02
With IN THE NERVOUS LIGHTS OF COINCIDENCE, its debut in Europe on our german netlabel, the Vancouver-based post-hardcore act Jakartah presents a set of urgent indie-rock. Revealing a tendency towards prog-like time changes and heavy riffing, the Canadian trio’s songs are as challenging as they are compelling. If Isis and Sonic Youth would have met, they would have probably made an album as raw, as powerful and complex as this one.

TRACKLIST
01 – They Aren’t All Beautiful
02 – Liasons At The Woodwards Building
03 – A Young Boy Forgets About Heavon
04 – Reactions Begin Grinding Gears Tonight
05 – There’s You On A Bike Ride
