Being that my typical night consists of hitting the sack at around 10pm, and that my new radio show is Friday nights from 10pm to midnight, I figured that my second show would center around the theme of sleep . So I pieced together a playlist of bedroom pop, chill wave, dreamy shoegaze and what I've dubbed as psychedelic ambiance. I took over for Stuarto just after 10 with a brief description of my first track, which I don't believe made it on air. The switch-over was a bit rushed [...]
![ANOIS MAY BE GERMANY'S NEXT THE NOTWIST [QUICKIE]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3549207_lg.jpg)
It's late on a Saturday night and I'm having trouble sleeping which means I'm looking for some new music to add to my iTunes library. To match my near delusional state I've ended up with Anois , a trance pop indie band from Germany that I can best liken to The Notwist . Their full-length, Free House Whispers , released last summer, is a relaxing, almost hypnotizing collection of 13 tracks that blend seamlessly together. Be warned, it's pretty unusual stuff. Don't let that stop you from checking [...]
2009 is a tough year to judge. I've checked out more albums this year than any year in the past. Well over 1,000. And there have been quite a few great ones as well. When this list began, it had 110 albums. I abandoned my top 33 and 1/3 for 45, and then said "screw it" and upped the number to an even 50. These are the top notch albums of the year, all worthy of praise. Despite trouble all around, 2009 wasn't all that bad. [...]
So I am not one for actually "celebrating" whatever holiday it is. I guess I am either complacent or I just don't care, wait... No seriously, I might be more of a "Hey, it's a long weekend" instead of a "Hey, I'm excited to be able to have the time to get together with my family and friends and celebrate "X" because this anniversary of the occasion has deep meaning to me" type of guy. So, yeah, whatever. I can be thankful for a long weekend though as that is always better than not having a long weekend. [...]
We're now half way through 2009, so I figured it was about time to collect a few favorites from the year thus far. I've put together 10 must-hear albums from the first half of 2009. To alleviate any bias, and because I'm totally obsessed with this style of categorization, I'm putting them alphabetically. A few albums are missing from this list and deserve bonus recognition. I've chosen five artists I find absolutely amazing to list as honorable mentions. Why? In some cases, I haven't had the chance to [...]

Anois are Anne Baier and Lars Kranhold, two young German musicians. Their album "Tree House Whispers" is a construct of acustic guitars, glockenpiel, fan organ, small portions of electronica all connected with their unique voices and fine melodies while the floorboards creak and the chairs rumble. Anois provide a special combination of the acoustic electronic environment with an ease. The music of Anois is complex though this few instruments because of these fragile elements, which sound also timid, but built this strong and great atmosphere, where you can hide if the days need to be muted. Anois [...]
![Anois: Tree House Whispers [Album Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1666082_lg.jpg)
A synthesis of bedroom pop, shoegaze, and folk-tronica, Anois finds a near perfect balance of melody and dissonance. From the pleasant instrumental loops to the off-norm harmonic male/female vocals, Tree House Whispers is an instant classic filled with the dawning of love and passion that mature and bloom into meaning and life. Opening with the instrumental intro "Small Electric Battery", Tree House Whispers quickly catches interest in "Happy Holiday", then builds into the sleepy, lovable pop gem "Beds And Dishes". However, one of the more intriguing tracks [...]
È da poco disponibile sul sito della benemerita netlabel Aerotone (la stessa di Entertainment For The Braindead) il primo album di un duo tedesco che si fa chiamare Anois e propone una fresca miscela di folk-pop da cameretta, che non disdegna timide incursioni elettroniche e modulazioni sonore delicate e sognanti. Il duo, formato da Lars [...]
