So one of Ireland's top up and comers effortlessly move into phase two and in the process add the definite article to their moniker. The Angel Pier have the wherewithal to be truly spectacular, for the moment we'll have to make do with the truly excellent. 'Align The Seas' (a 7inch on real vinyl) will be launched in Whelan's this Friday and sees the 4-piece reappear with a pair of fully-fledged anthems. The a-side and title track has a pulsing addictive rhythm and that special trick where songwriter Darragh Nolan orchestrates lumpen throats. 'Belong' is the epic flip, [...]

It's been a few days since I've had a download on offer for something other than U2, so it's great that Indiecater has another stellar new release. This time it's Candy Claws, and their excellent In the Dream of the Sea of Life , an album bound to appeal to lovers of Panda Bear and Animal Collective. I have a preview download below, but on the site you can stream the album in full and then buy it for €4!

Despite a lull for a couple of years it seems that electronica is back on the map. You could put it down the panda collective effect but the most stirring records I've heard this year have all been made using non traditional instruments. As it happens my favourite of the bunch has just been released on our very own label . 'In The Dream of The Sea Life' is a remarkable effort, full of woozy effects, genuine sea sounds and full to the brim with memorable hooks. You probably have guessed by now how much we adore everything that [...]

Candy Claws In the Dream of the Sea Life (2009, Act So Big Forest) RIYL: Flaming Lips, Atlas Sound, Stars, Animal Collective Hurry! Before it's too late! I'm sorry! Hurry! Forgive me! I'm sorry! This was supposed to be IT! This is IT, it's your perfect summer album, and it's all my fault that it isn't. I've been meaning to write this review since before the schools got out, since before the swimming pools and snowcone shacks opened their doors and peddled their respective forms of refreshment. Could it be, that this is the [...]

With In the Dream of the Sea Life only a month or two old, Candy Claws have another great release and they are giving this one away for FREE. Consisting of cover songs, christmas songs, a few videos (which preview some sounds they may use on an upcoming album titled Hidden Lands ) and a few surprises, Glacier Prey may not be your soundtrack to summer as In the Dream of the Sea Life should be, but Candy Claws never disappoints. For track [...]
Psychedelic music isn't what it used to be. Nowadays, all these Animal Collections and Black Moth Super Brainbows are throwing electronics into the mix, and things couldn't be better. Here's another project to throw onto your list of fav psychtronica bands: Candy Claws. Their bubbly, whisper-quiet poppery sounds like it was recorded underwater; so their new album's ocean theme should be no surprise. The cover: In The Dream Of The Sea Life is out now on Peppermill Records . Here are two watery tracks: [...]

Όσοι κάνουν πολύωρες υποβρύχιες βόλτες με μάσκα και βατραχοπέδιλα θα με καταλάβουν. Έχω επιθυμήσει πολλές φορές ένα αδιάβροχο mp3 player. Θα του φόρτωνα όλα τα minimal electro της συλλογής μου και δεν θα έβγαζα το κεφάλι από το νερό παρά τον Οκτώβριο.Το ίδιο ισχύει και για την πισίνα. Έλα όμως που η μεγαλύτερη ευχαρίστηση στη θάλασσα είναι ο ήχος της αναπνοής σου από τον αναπνευστήρα και ο παφλασμός της ίδιας σου της απλωτής. Αυτοί οι ήχοι σε συνδέουν με το σύμπαν. Λάθος η χρήση της τεχνολογίας κατά την επιστροφή στη μεγάλη μήτρα... Το μόνο που μένει [...]

Was für ein gigantisches Projekt auf Peppermill Records . Und dabei auch noch fast durchgängig mit grandiosen Titeln, höchst sympathischen Musikanten, skurrilen Einfällen und vor allem jeder Menge Spass. Bin begeistert. Fernsehen sollte immer so klingen.
