A few more hours and it's weekend. Though I hardly drank any alcohol, I'm still trying to recover from that trip to London . Think I've listen to the I Like Trains track I posted earlier today at least 30 times. It really is that fabulous... Because a few of you said so , I actually bothered and gave the new album by The Shins a few listens. No exactly impressed, but promise [...]
Just a couple of quick ones... Check the line-up for this year's NYC Popfest and start drooling...looks pretty good don't you think!? The new Sleep Party People track Chin is doing terribly on the Hypem Popular chart . Go heart it please! Musically I think they've move on quite a bit since the debut ( A Dark Good Heart [...]
The inbox is overflowing and there's plenty to post, so why not share the love? Baby Baby - "Haters Clean" Single Released 2/14 The Atlanta bad boys steal Kurt Cobain's Big Muff and fuzz it up. We're featuring the clean version, but you get the idea. Straight up party rock. Guaranteed to cause a riot. - [...]
Københavnske Death Valley Sleepers spiller psykedelisk, drømmende støjrock med poppede melodier. Inspirationen kommer fra den amerikanske modkultur, psych'ens udskejelser, såvel som støjrockens fandenivoldskhed. Bandet beskriver sig selv således: "En fest i døgndrift, der opløser realiteter og truer med evig opløsning og forfald. En følelse af at være urørlig, ung og fri. Høj på 'kærligheds drugs' dag efter dag." Det psykedeliske bliver bl.a. hjulpet på vej af eksotiske instrumtner som sitar og tambura samt effekter, der er kørt baglæns. Death Valley Sleepers trækker også på old school break beats samt 90'er-bølgen med bands som fx [...]
Been working on a new blog...in Danish. Not really sure why, but I probably just need some fresh air or something. Check it out if you like. Vote in the annual Matinée fan club poll . Not that many releases to choose from, but the few ones put out this year were good ones! + Champagne Riot - Moonstruck Here's a brand new (and darn good) demo track from [...]
Busy or not...have to post this one. New video from Death Valley Sleepers and a promise that an album is coming soon...
Sometimes the slowing gets go for new music or rather new music I dig haha .. so here is a golden oldie!The Danish one man band, Death Valley Sleepers , is by no means new... and by no means has an kind of tangible release either! After 2-3 anos of squeaking out about 20 odd tracks. ..we are still waiting! That many tracks an no real release could mean nothing(hopefully).. or could mean packaging and promotion buzz time.. which is.. well it is what it is. From the sounds of what we have heard with some [...]
Death Valley Sleepers sound like they should come from a dusty part of mid America instead of a city in Northern Europe. They offer up an intoxicating take on psychedelia that just whooshes about in ever such pretty patterns. Actually before we go any further I must stop saying 'They' because DVS is really 'He' - Tobias Winberg to be more precise. That said he does tour with more members.'Vice and Beauty' appeared around 2009 but since DVS appear to give little away in terms of discography I'm not sure if it made it onto an official release. Parts of [...]
Two quick thoughts on last night's concert ; it wasn't a waste of time, but still plenty of work left before White Lies becomes a great live act. So don't expect to see me queuing outside the ticket office to get tickets for their next tour. And despite my recent approval, the songs on Ritual are beyond doubt weaker than the ones on the debut , as the concert reached a completely different level ( Bigger Than Us [...]
Watch Death Valley Sleepers perform a wonderful stripped down version of Heartbreaking Sound of Joy . The band will be playing live at Drone ( Copenhagen ) on next Thursday (February 10).
Stream premixes of three tracks from the forthcoming Death Valley Sleepers debut album below. Still no news on when and how the album will be released, but judging from the premixes the album will definitely be worth the wait. Left Me High Small Town Bells Into My Mind
Stream the new (and rather dull) track Do You Love It by Mew over at Soundvenue . Included on the band's forthcoming compilation album Eggs Are Funny . The debut album Living and Growing by The Felt Tips will be out on Plastilina Records on November 15. + Dear Morrissey Your truly was mentioned on [...]

Tilskuere (Danish for spectators) has a real nice post on Sarah Records / Television inspired Danish quartet Balloon Magic . Good to learn that the youngsters are heading for the studio to record new songs. + Fell Death Valley Sleepers has announced that they'll begin the recordings of their debut album . Filed under "great news". + Sweet End [...]
Don't know if anyone has noticed, but I've started to use the download links from the promo mails rather than uploading songs myself. Not that I've had any recent problems with IFPI , but for whatever reason I've suddenly become too much of a chicken to risk anything. Death Valley Sleepers has a lovely and rather melancholic new track named Along The Canals streaming at Myspace . Because of the band's growing popularity (thanks to that car commercial) the [...]
Just a short follow-up thought on Peter 's comment from yesterday . To some extent I agree that selling your music to companies for use in commercials isn't very hip or especially cool. However this is no longer the age of the Vincent 's and the Wolfgang 's where poverty and great art seemed inseparable and today you cannot really blame artists for making decisions having their bank accounts in mind. Basically meaning that if they cannot make a living by being musicians (writers, painters etc.), they'll most likely have to find [...]
How freakin' cool is this? + Death Valley Sleepers - Left Me High
Death Valley Sleepers has mailed a brand new recording named Into My Mind . A psychedelic 60's inspired tune, and of course it's absolutely fabulous. Download all previous recordings from this post . + Into My Mind The Ginger Ninja debut album Wicked Map was released last Monday and it's an absolutely wonderful infusion of energy. An infusion I believe all us are in dire need of right now. Speaking of [...]

Es ist schon komisch – da bringt die dänische Ein-Mann-Band Death Valley Sleepers einen guten Song nach dem anderen heraus, und dennoch gibt es nach wie vor keine offizielle Veröffentlichung und auch sonst bleiben die DVS eher ein Geheimtipp. Ob sich das mit «Turn out the light» ändern wird? Der Stil bleibt jedenfalls der selbe – zwischen The Raveonettes und The Velvet Underground, wie Morten treffend schreibt .
