Temple

Release 11 March (DA)

Temple is, above all, the sound of a different youth. A soaring encounter that wraps its listener in a veil of broken and intact dreams. Nils Bloch’s beautiful and overwhelming voice guides the traveler safely through a mutating landscape colored by ambient guitars, melodic bass lines, aching lap steel and wistful percussion.
The EP is produced by Michael Fischerson who has recently produced prominent Danish indie acts such as The New Spring and Kirsten og Marie.

Where Did Nora Go

Release 21 January (DE & DA)

With WHERE DID NORA GO Astrid Nora has taken up her childhood instrument, the cello, and written all of her new songs for cello and voice with added ambient electronic sounds. The music is powerful, beautiful, strong and utterly unique.
The lyrical universe is inspired by Nora from Henrik Ibsen’s ‘A Doll’s House’, the character which she was also named after as a little girl and which also inspired her to take the new name ‘Where Did Nora Go’.

Due to a strong feeling of being reborn as an artist and singer, it felt right to change the artistic name, which is why she now calls herself Where Did Nora Go.
She has teamed up with the producer-team Henrik Marstal and Kasper Rasmussen and in this collaboration succeeded in creating an entirely new world of sound and composition.

Where Did Nora Go has in recent reviews been compared to artists such as Kate Bush, Björk, PJ Harvey, Ane Brun and Antony Hegarty.

Artificial Brothers

Release 29 Maj (DA) 21 September (DE) 2012

Artificial Brothers is a quintet from Thisted, Denmark, that moves about in a gloomy and melancholic universe within the boundaries of the alternative rock genre. Their debut album “Make Our Hearts Sway” will be released in Denmark the 29th of May and in Germany and Austria the 21st of September.

In June 2011 Artificial Brothers isolated themselves on a farm in the middle of nowhere, where the band spent a half year writing and recording. For the creation of the album the band established a partnership with producer Niels Høg (The Kissaway Trail, Den Fjerde Væg, Cody, Munich etc.), and together they recorded the album live in order to maintain and bring out a natural energy and honesty in the songs.

Echo Me

Release 23 April (DA) 19 October (DE) 2012

Later this year we release Echo Me’s debut album
in Denmark and Germany

Echo Me (Jesper Madsen) is the Danish songwriter behind Echo Me. He’s been writing songs since the age of 10, starting of “borrowing” lyrics from artists found in his parents’ collection.

The name Echo Me stands for that similarity, there is between Jesper and his music. The songs are echoes of his personality and his thoughts. His sound is an echo of his own taste and his own ideals.

The genre is Nu-Folk and Echo Me has often been compared to artists such as Rufus Wainwright and Jeff Buckley.

Forest & Crispian

Release 8. June (DE) 2012

This Spring Forest & Crispian release their third album Morgenlands.
The album is a trip through old carnivals and freakshows, charity rallies and mysteries of murder.
Recorded on the Swedish countryside and in an old theatre they have created a new blend of sounds.
Usual elements are connected with new experiments and coloured by the Swedish string quartet Vindla.
In addition the magic wand of Per Sunding (Tambourine Studios) has tweaked the sound to a new level.

Forest & Crispian have always been known for delivering a live set beyond the usual. With rebuilt and homebuilt instruments, standing drums and tremendous vocal harmonies they deliver an experience that has been refered to as a blend between the works of Spike Jones, Sophia Coppola, The Band and Scott Walker. And this time around they will be even better.

Sam Gray Singing

Release 16. March (DE) 2012

Sam Gray Singing is the work of pianist, composer and visual artist Samuel Gray, with the help of many musician friends.

Born in 1977 in New Zealand, Samuel began receiving classical piano training from his aunt from the age of 7. Treated as a human jukebox because of his natural ability to accurately play pieces of music by ear, Samuel wrote his earliest music at age 8. Samuel took up percussion, violin and trumpet lessons and taught himself to play the guitar, though he continued to be known predominantly as a pianist. He recorded his first full-length album, Catharsis at age 16. Having shown unusual prowess in languages at high school, Samuel moved to Oslo, Norway on a student exchange in 1996 and stayed there to attend university, majoring in modern European languages until 2003, when he moved (again on a student exchange!) to Austria.

Samuel continues to live in Austria and maintains strong ties to his family and friends in New Zealand.

Mads Beldring
Mads Beldring
Skæbnen har bidt sig fast i Mads Beldrings stemme og tekster. Sangene på hans debutalbum, ’Hør Nu Her’, er skrevet et sted mellem en lejlighed på Nørrebro, et værelse i Brooklyn og et lille ensomt bindingsværkshus på Lolland. Udtrykket er en blanding af storbyens dunkende uro og landets stille fred med et længselsfuldt blik ind i natten.
Teksterne skildrer tro og håbløshed, rigdom o
g gæld, sandhed og ligegyldighed, tomhed og fuldskab, ensomhed og kærlighed. Menneskeligt armod og glade hjerter
Mads Beldring rammer brystet, hovedet og fødderne. Danser flyvsk ud af mørket og tilbage.
’Hør Nu Her’ emmer af nærvær og autencitet, og får lytteren til at græde og smile på samme tid.

Biografi
Mads Beldring (f.1979) er oprindeligt konservatorieuddannet trommeslager og har tidligere udgivet med bl.a. Källing, Virgo, DreamJockey, De Glade Sømænd, Laura Mo og C’est tout Martine.

Den Fjerde Væg
Er den danske sang med international lyd.
Med deres alternative pop og højtravende arrangementer er bandet
klart den bedste surfer på den dansksprogede bølge.
Den Fjerde Væg taler til lytteren uden at tale ned, og synger det, de
aldrig har turde sige, med deres langtidsholdbare, begavede
popmusik.
Tænk en blanding af Animal Collective og Love Shop – så er du kommet
et stykke nærmere.
Bandet
Blev dannet i 2009, og har siden deres første møde, været et stærkt
sangskriver-kollektiv uden nogen egentlig frontfigur. Live spiller
bandet med 3 forsangere, Lasse, Rune og Andreas, og de fungerer i det
hele taget, som en stærk helhed.
