RUSSIA : Big Echo Arktor - Pier ft. Didjelirium Раз в месяц тайный музыкальный альянс, состоящий из 36 музыкальных блогов со всего, собирается вместе, чтобы собрать гигантский сборник. Это что-то вроде ВТО, только без нарушений прав человека. 2012 год уже не за горами и давление подведения итогов чувствуется буквально в каждом mp3 файле. Русский выбор на этот месяц – работа Artkor, о которой я в деталях рассказывал в одном из [...]

SINGAPORE : I'm Waking Up To... Sonicbrat - Bed Of Forty Winks Sonicbrat is the enduring moniker of sound artist Darren Ng, whose work is characterised by an intricate tapestry of field recordings and found sounds, strung together by subtly processed acoustic instrumentation with a classical bent. Gentle, stirring and complex, Ng's music is the sort that invites itself into and comfortably inhabits one's imagination. His latest release, Hana, is his musing on the [...]

ROMANIA : Babylon Noise Absurdcus - Puppy Slippers Absurdcus is the solo project of Transylvanian bass player/multi-instrumentalist Laszlo Demeter. His music has been a continuous work in progress since 2003, when he first started recording bits and pieces under this pseudonym. His music stylistically ranges from alternative rock and funk to electronica and even metal. You can download his debut album here . [...]

I didn't know what to get you for Christmas... so I came up with an idea. The Jukebox player on the right-hand side of this blog was launched 17 months ago and, since then, 39 people have paid £5 each to get a track on it for a month, raising a total of £180.06 (after PayPal took their cut). I pledged to use every donation "to support grassroots music" and now you're about to find out what I blew the budget on... I've been a huge fan of [...]

Beinahe zwei Jahre hat es nun gedauert, bis wir den ersten Schweizer Mundart-Künstler beim Music Alliance Pact eingereicht haben. Es handelt sich um Alejandro Jiménez, der am 9. Dezember seine neue Platte "Nabelschau" veröffentlicht hat. SWITZERLAND : 78s Alejandro Jiménez - Die Fragestellung In Frage Stellen Alejandro Jiménez is actually more poetry slam than singer-songwriting. He also [...]

Dance Macabre NEW ZEALAND : Einstein Music Journal The Eversons - I'm A Conservative Fronted by Mark Turner (ex-Little Pictures) and with Chris Young (Insurgents, No Aloha), Tim Shann and Blair Everson, The Eversons have a crisp, clear garage-rock vibe that strongly recalls Art Brut and American college rock with its undeniable [...]

Não há Júlia nem carjacking, por aqui. Há apenas o muito talento de João Correia (voz, guitarras, percussão) e Bruno Pernadas (guitarra). Depois de um ano após o lançamento do seu EP de estreia, com a ajuda de alguns amigos, este duo editou o seu álbum de estreia, "Parasol". A surpresa é grande e boa, tendo em conta os inúmeros projectos nacionais sem personalidade, que se limitam a pobres imitações de bandas estrangeiras do momento; muitas vezes, com a caricata característica de "cantarem" num inglês aprendido em sopas de letras. "Parasol" bronzeia e não provoca escaldões. [...]

. Παίρνοντας στα σοβαρά την υπόσχεση που έδωσα πρόσφατα στον εαυτό μου να δίνω στο εξής την πρέπουσα σημασία στα ελληνικά σχήματα προτίμησα από τις συναυλίες του ΠΣΚ αυτή του 2L8 και των gravitysays_i στο Γκάζι το Σάββατο. Όχι μόνο δεν το μετάνιωσα, αλλά πέρασα και καλά. Πολύ επιτυχημένος συνδυασμός. Η μοναχική φιγούρα του πολυοργανικού περφόρμερ με τη φωνή-λάστιχο από τη μια και το wall to wall boys σχήμα των shoegaze industrial επικών παιδιών με το σαντούρι, το cello και [...]

Spring is right around the corner for most of our US based readers. Let's check in on the rest of the world with this April 2011 edition of the Music Alliance Pact.
