Since this track by Alaska In Winter was uploaded to SoundCloud just yesterday I thought it was a new one. However I've just found out that it was included on an EP that was released as far back as in June (I received thousands of emails, but why didn't any inform me about this release?). Also learned that Brandon Bethancourt has been battling all kinds of personal problems, probably explaining the EP title ? Demons sounds pretty good mixing electronic sounds with Balkan [...]
Danish indie act Oh No Ono will play their final show this coming Friday, December 2 at Vega in Copenhagen as a benefit for their recently robbed Moono Studio. Full details: http://ohnoono.com/home/oh-no- moono/

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 [...]

Denmark's productive playground, is the world as we know it most valued gains. Aske Zidore, Malthe Fischer, Kristoffer Rom and Nis Svoldgaard make up the band known as Oh No Ono and Caribou as the group we all know n' love, are unquestionably that ever massive cherry on top of a glorious-fine 'Eleanor Speaks' trifle. Mind bending alternative notions, at its ultimate greatest pitch. "Play-it-again-Sam!" OH NO ONO – Eleanor Speaks (Caribou Remix) OH NO ONO – Helplessly Young

What's in a band name? Does it even matter? Before we continue this debate and take you into clichés such as "you can't judge a book by it's cover" etc, please consider that this band nearly cost themselves a blog post on The Recommender because of their somewhat silly name. They obviously won't care one jot, but we do, because we don't like to miss posting about bands that sound this amazing. We received an email last summer, around the time of their Momo EP, informing us about this exciting, new quartet from Boston, who had been making [...]

Photo by Toshio Shibata Danish duo Kenton Slash Demon recently brought out the final part of their 'Schwarzschild Solution' triptych, a trilogy of EPs released on Tartelet Records . As the name suggests, the releases are inspired by the Schwarzschild theory on the galaxy and the elements that form it. Sun is probably the most airy one of the three, while Matter is much gloomier - not in the least bit because of the haunting vocals by Oh No Ono . Daemon then, features vocals by Bear In Heaven [...]

Wat betreft albums kom ik dit jaar niet veel verder dan 5 stuks die ik van voor tot achter geslaagd vind. Dat komt waarschijnlijk deels door mijn meer kritisch geworden oor in de loop der jaren als ook door het enigszins povere aanbod van 2010. Om het feest toch nog compleet te maken heb ik een Spotify lijst gemaakt van 12 tracks die me erg blij maakten dit jaar. De 5 uitverkoren albums dan nog: 1. Tame Impala - Innerspeaker Melodieuze, volle psychedelische sound waar ik dit jaar maar geen genoeg van kon [...]

Continuing our best of 2010 coverage we now look at some of the awesome songs recorded by our pals at Daytrotter this year. And I will just go and say it... Daytrotter is quite possibly my favorite places to find music on the internet. If you are not clicking over there at least one a week, you are really missing out. Yes, you have to register and use their java-based downloader thingy, but it is so worth it. These are our favorite Daytrottin' tracks of 2010 . Listen. Downloadables: [...]

After writing for TWJ for about a year now, I have mutated into a spider of the Interwebs. I creep across my familiar threads and pluck tasty morsels from the regular traps with ease. Now that I seem to be officially a blogger (*gasp*), I have become more of a "Song" fiend, who sees and [...]
That time of year has arrived once again, dear readers and listeners. The time when bloggers crack their heads together, duke it out in December and spit out carefully constructed "Best of" lists. Then, the wringing of hands begins when we all see each other's lists and think "Oh, I hadn't really listened to that" [...]
The blend of the whistling and the dark and monotonous, yet — thanks to DeltaScuTi — vibrant beat of Rodion 's "Alagoas Cowboys" create an atmosphere that doesn't let go easily. They also remixed Oh No Ono , and like with everything regarding the latter, extraordinarity is ensured. Rodion - Alagoas Cowboys (DeltaScuTi Remix) Oh No Ono - The Tea Party (DeltaScuTi Remix)
