The a-side for the forthcoming Je Suis Animal "Painted my face" 7" on Cloudberry Records is now streaming at myspace: http://www.myspace.com/jesuisa nimal Sounds quite nice I must say.
Cloudberry Records will be putting out a 2-song 7" from Norwegian act Je Suis Animal in the near future. I'm not a huge fan of a lot of the stuff Cloudberry puts out, but this is definitely a release to get excited about.

Well we are approaching the Carnival of Shit that is the Edinburgh Festival's indie music offering. The Edge is utterly abysmal, offering virtually no bands worth seeing and absolutely nothing to generate any sort of excitment. Noah & the Whale, Johnny Flynn and the Shout Out Louds are the only real treats from out of town, but two of the best bands - Broken Records and Isosceles - are local so we get to see them during the rest of year anyway. So brilliant as it is to see local lads headlining the Liquid Rooms, the lack of [...]

Ringo Deathstarr - "Sweet Girl" You can easily tell that these guys are heavily influenced by The Jesus & Mary Chain and My Bloody Valentine. And that's why this song is so good. Total homage to the indie-pop days of the 80s. Sweet indeed. Je Suis Animal - "Sparkle Spit" Wonderful Nordic shoegaze.

February saw the release of their debut album, Self-Taught Magic From A Book, on Perfect Pop Records, and no later than this month the album was also released in Australia. Their songs tell tales of murder mysteries, magic and primitive art, [...]
Íslenskir tónleikahaldarar keppast nú við að rukka morðfjár inn á risavaxna tónleika með gömlum hrukkudýrum sem voru upp á sitt besta fyrir tugum ára síðan. Lítið fer hinsvegar fyrir því að nýjum og áhugaverðum böndum skoli hingað á land. Í haust gæti orðið breyting á en nokkrar jaðarsveitir hafa viðrað áhuga sinn á að spila hér, s.s. Secret Shine, og einnig norska sveitin með franska nafnið, Je Suis Animal, sem reyndar er skipuð bæði norðmönnum og bretum. Hugmyndin að bandinu ku hafa sprottið í breskum listaháskóla, en meðlimir settust svo að í Osló og hófu útgerð þaðan [...]
