Splinters annonce la couleur des prochaines sorties à venir sur le label à grands coups d'une techno dark et hyptonique. Les remixes suivront très bientôt. Splinters by autokratz
Midweek Mixes is back with two highly contrasting mixes. Disco, funk and a blend of downtempo, emotional and melodic music.
This is saintly dust , wheezen sax and dripping tap drummage... ambulance ambience on the exhaust fumes of a whirring mind... absolute love and respect

And in case you missed the Cold Splinters modeling debut (something I never expected to type on this website) with friends Tom from Archival Clothing and Peter from Best Made Co. , check that out [...]
I'm sure someone else has already said this but, it needs to be repeated: the garage-rock scale has dipped, I believe permanently in to the darker, less-melodic void of 1990s grunge. Everything these days that once played nicely with the three-chord progressions and snarling lips of concrete encased rock 'n' roll is now laconically dropping [...]

Teen Witch is Tyler (formerly of Tempo No Tempo , presently of Grooms ) and Caroline (of The Splinters ).

The "smokey black" cassette is available via the Whoa Whoa label in a limited run of 150 cassettes (and naturally comes with a digital download). Listen. Downloadable: I Don't Mind (mp3) The cassette art looks something like this: [...]
For their first album in six years, Norway's Deaf Center move beyond the low-fidelity experimentalism of their past toward a more vibrant veneer enhanced by high-end analog engineering gear. For their first album since 2005's acclaimed Pale Ravine, the Norwegian duo of Erik Skodvin and Otto Totland, known as Deaf Center, moves beyond the low-fidelity experimentalism of its past toward a more vibrant veneer enhanced by high-end analog engineering gear. The end result is the spectacular Owl Spinters, eight compositions of shimmering black ambience that boast a powerful new sense of grandiosity and catapult Totland's piano and Skodvin's cello [...]

RIYL = Max Richter, Greg Haines, A Broken Consort You get the sense that, when listening to Owl Splinters , the end really is nigh. The ominousness of it all -- Deaf Center burrowing forever into a minor key. What I can only imagine as being orchestrated in an ice-cold meat locker, the pieces presented on Owl Splinters inhabit the thick-aired space of time just before the death-scythe slides into your chest. It's that piqued tension brooding in advance of imminent destruction. Softly plinking pianos, like keys of ice, and madly [...]
Santhos - All into splinters
Cuando algo es bueno se nota enseguida. Sin la necesidad de hablar de marcas, sabemos que una buena chaqueta, un perfume fino o un vino de reserva, se percibe apenas entra en contacto con nuestros sentidos. Con el nuevo disco de Deaf Center ocurre algo similar. Basta la entrada densa con "Divided", para darse cuenta del nivel óptimo de producción de este álbum, sucesor de Pale Ravine ( Type , 2005), disco clave en el estilo neo clásico que ellos desarrollan. Ya en aquel entonces sentaron bases con esta gran producción que daría para hacer otra [...]
