The Hour Is Late, the label run by David Åhlén ( Namur ), has signed the Göteborg-based duo Lilak and will be releasing their debut full-length "Birds, water and days" in November. More info: http://www.thehourislate.com/
The best religious music is ostensibly about struggle. Not just the struggle between good and evil/heaven and hell, but the struggle of faith. Remember, the name Israel (as given to Jacob) literally means "to wrestle with angels" or, to extrapolate further, to wrestle with God or even to wrestle with the idea of God itself. The music of Namur possesses a yearning quality that exemplifies this, the struggle to put faith into song, to cleave to God in a meaningful way. There's no hokey sentimentalism, rather there is honest feeling and emotion. You'd never know it [...]
Πάει και το 2007, η πρώτη χρονιά που κάλυψε αυτό το blog από την αρχή ως το τέλος της. Ομολογώ ότι, αν και ήταν κουραστικό στην ενημέρωσή του, τα 12 tabs με τους αντίστοιχους μήνες, μου έδωσαν μια πλήρη εικόνα της χρονιάς που τελειώνει: Οι ταινίες, οι -λίγες- συναυλίες, το Φεστιβάλ Κινηματογράφου , το Φεστιβάλ Ντοκυμαντέρ , η 1η alt.eurovision , τα θεματικά αφιερώματα, και, το σπουδαιότερο, όλα αυτά τα τραγούδια [αλλά και τα άλμπουμ], που μου κράτησαν παρέα για μια ολόκληρη χρονιά.

2006 has been an amazing year for dark and dreamy pop and Namur's "Songs from the valley of Baca" is one of the best examples of the genre. You can call it a shoegazer revival if you want, but I think that all the sounds I've been hearing are something completely new and different. It may be a lot of things, but it's certainly not retro. Anyhow, despite releasing one of the year's best albums, Namur mainman David Åhlén decided recently that it was time to retire the name and move on with something new: Father of Levi. Naturally, I [...]
Namur was originally started as the project of brother David and Tobias Åhlén and functioned as such up until their second album, which then turned into David’s solo project. The release of Songs from the Valley of Baca serves as the third full-length album from Namur, which has been put out through his own label The Hour is Late. Taken from Namur's MySpace: Songs from the Valley of Baca has a
