Buceando por el listado de amigos de mi cuenta de MySpace he llegado al perfil de The Snow Fairies, a los que no presté demasiada atención en su momento y que sin embargo creo que bien merecen que les dediquemos unas líneas. Parece ser que ya no se mantienen en activo, pero a lo largo del tiempo que duró su carrera grabaron un total de tres álbumes, el último de ellos Voila!, se publicó en el año 2006 en una edición limitadísima de tan solo 200 copias en formato vinilo, por lo que no es de extrañar que [...]

Sometimes (like after a prolonged Parts & Labor binge) I have to take a measured dose of Twee . And I'd say The Snow Fairies have just the right amount. Downloadables: "Record Shop" (mp3) "Voila!" (whole album in a zip) WARNING: Twee has been known to cause headbobbing, vomitting, lightheadedness, a sweet taste in the mouth, and gential itching. Myspace page is here . BONUS Parts & Labor mp3 to provide a auditory counterbalance: "A Great Divide" [...]

Bald ist ja wieder Valentinstag, ein überflüssiger, kommerziell romantisierter "Feiertag". Der wäre natürlich keine weitere Erwähnung wert, wenn nicht die Musikwebsite Excellent Online eigens für diesen Tag eine 2-CD-Compilation mit zwei Dutzend kostenloser, legaler und überwiegend exklusiver Indie-Musik in mp3-Form zusammengestellt hätte. Unter den Interpreten sind neben mir bis dato komplett unbekannten auch beispielsweise der Ex-Ride-Sänger Mark Gardener , die Indielieblinge Of Montreal oder Velocity Girl . Lasst statt Blumen also lieber digitale Musik sprechen! Link zum Valentins-Flirt-Sampler MP3-Download Snow Fairies «Firefly» [...]
The nicest thing that's happened to me so far today is the sudden online give-away of The Snow Fairies' latest, and probably last, album "Voila!". In fact it made me grin so much that my co-workers commented on my unusual cheerfulness. It's likely to put a grin on your face also. The album is released in a limited edition of 200 copies, with a hand-made silkscreened cover, and will not be released on CD. If you'd like to have the actual LP, you might want to hurry up and check the distributors [...]

One of the few CD's that I managed to carry home with me unscathed from last Popfest was the excellent Snow Fairies' " Get Married ". Alas, The Snow Fairies are no more and are hereby known as The Artists Formerly Known As The Snow Fairies. But fear ye not, they will make a last appearance at the New England Popfest come october. And furthermore, they have one more release forthcoming, to quote their Myspace blog: We recorded our third and last album and we are pressing up 200 copies [...]
