Apenas la semana pasada Adrián les mostró un pequeño video o teaser que realmente no revelaba mucho pero que nos permitía pensar que Feist , esta cantante canadiense que ganó muchos premios y miles de nuevos fans con su producción del 2007, The Reminder , estaba en camino de lanzar una nueva producción. Aunque en un principio tuvimos nuestras dudas, hoy finalmente se ha confirmado que Leslie ya tiene listo un nuevo álbum , el cual será presentado al mundo el próximo 4 de octubre y llevará [...]
Bedroom Community is een label dat niet veel materiaal uitbrengt, maar wat ze uitbrengen is zonder uitzondering van hoge kwaliteit. De albums van Sam Amidon verschijnen bijvoorbeeld op Bedroom Community. En het werk van de jonge Britse songschrijver Puzzle Muteson voldoet blijkbaar ook aan de hoge eisen van Bedroom Community. Puzzle woont op het eiland Wight, maar hij reisde naar IJsland, de thuisbasis van het label, om daar samen met Valgeir Sigurðsson en Nico Muhly En Garde op te nemen. Het zijn vooral de prachtige arrangemeneten van Muhly en Sigurðsson die En Garde zo bijzonder [...]
WG Sebald: Darkness on the edge of Anglia | Boo... , posted with vodpod Έπειτα από αγρανάπαυση ετών ξαναβρίσκω τη χαρά της ανάγνωσης αυτές τις θεοσκότεινες χειμωνιάτικες μέρες για τις οποίες θέλω να εκφράσω τις ειλικρινείς μου ευχαριστίες αλλά δεν ξέρω σε ποιόν να τις απευθύνω. Χωρίς να είναι απαγορευτική η συνήθεια αυτή ενδέχεται να αποβεί ανταγωνιστική ως προς την ακρόαση μουσικής, ιδίως αν αυτή η δεύτερη έχει ζητούμενο την κάτω του διαφράγματος ευχαρίστηση. Λέω "κάτω του διαφράγματος" γιατί υποστηρίζω ότι η ποπ μουσική ακούγεται και λίγο ...με το στομάχι. Η ανάγνωση πάλι, θέλει απλώς [...]
Þegar gluggi dagsins er opnaður sést glitta í tónlistarmanninn Valgeir Sigurðsson að gæða sér á rjúkandi bolla af því sem Rjóminn hefur tekið sér það bessaleyfi að halda fram að sé kakó - svona í tilefni jólanna. Valgeir hefur verið áberandi fígúra í íslensku og erlendu tónlistarlífi undanfarin ár. Hann er stofnandi Bedroom Community útgáfunnar sem, auk Valgeirs, hefur á sínum snærum listamennina Ben Frost , Daníel Bjarnason , Sam Amidon og Nico Muhly . Bedroom Community gaf nýlega út jólaplötu en hana má nálgast frítt með [...]
Au creux de sa tanière musicale, Olivia mène le bal, alors que contrebasse, trombonne, trompette, xylophone, piano et synthé l'encerclent. Tantôt chef-d'orchestre, tantôt danseuse contemporaine, elle fredonne, chante, décrie, puis sa voix se confond, toujours en puissance, aux instruments qui l'entourent. Ce soir, Olivia Pedroli et ses musiciens ont bouclé avec rigueur et finesse la tournée promotionnelle de leur dernier album « The Den ». Au-delà du stylistiquement classable: un air de folk sous des ténèbres classiques que transpercent quelques cris de soul, son dernier album nargue les catégories et ne semble se fier qu'à la cohérence du [...]

Iceland's Bedroom Community, Nico Muhly, Sam Amidon, Ben Frost & Valgeir Sigurðsson, fell victim to their own volcano when much of Europe was brought to a stand still back in April due to the volcanic ash disruptions and thusly missing the beginning of their Whale Watching Tour. The (rescheduled) Whale Watching II Tour takes place this Sunday, 26th, in the National Concert Hall and we have two pairs of passes to giveaway. You know the drill, send your name and contact details to giveaway@state.ie , with 'Whale Watching' in the subject bar, and we will contact [...]
The Magic Numbers saca nuevo material Tras una muy linda y melancólica (por las canciones, claro) trayectoria de esta gran familia númerica, dicen las malas lenguas, que podemos olvidarnos de que el amor es solo un juego, dejar que el sol nos cambie, o pensar que nadie más nos amara como esa persona. Ahora… Nos sorprenden con nuevo trabajo de estudio este año. Es momento de huir hacia un paraje un tanto distinto, como lo dibujan estos muchachones con su 'Runaway'. El disco fue producido por [...]

The traditions of 'Trad. Folk' are undoubtedly rooted to the core history and expression of music – songs and ballads that are timeless between generations, reinterpreted by a teller in their present, amalgamating their experience onto nostalgia carried from eras long past. It seems apt that musicians and singers in the 21st century still impressing modern experience onto these tales, carrying them between genres. I See The Sign, Sam Amidon 's fourth record, reconstructs predominantly American folk songs into an invigorated equilibrium of disruption and calm. Muted banjo and moog confer at the core [...]
da bläst er! aus der reihe: was heute abend doch nicht stattfindet: da ist wahrscheinlich noch niemand drauf gekommen. aberhunderte fahren auf diesen booten hinaus für ein paar unscharfe fotos engelsgeduldig auch fürs kürzeste aufblitzen einer buckligen fluke irgendwo da hinten. aber selbst wenn eine auftaucht, das poster lehrt, es ist kein wal. es sind VALGEIR SIGURDSSON, NICO MUHLY, SAM AMIDON und BEN FROST, und sie sollten uns heute abend beehren im admiralspalast mit einer achtköpfigen zaubertruppe aus obengereihten und zusätzlichen zuckerpuppen an hüftwärmenden instrumenten. ein intimer kunst- und labelkreis, dessen betreiben ich mir wie allen draußen ans herz lege.

![[Ambient/Experimenta l] Valgeir Sigurdsson – Draumalandid](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2426659_lg.jpg)
For several years now Valgeir Sigurðosson has played the benevolent benefactor to both avant-garde and pop music in Iceland. From his work with Bjork to his founding and management of the venerable Bedroom Community label, Sigurðosson has proven adept in the areas of classical composition and electronic production. The artist's latest work, the soundtrack to the Icelandic documentary Draumalandið , represents a combination of these strengths, to stunning effect. In collaboration with several of the artists from the Bedroom Community roster, he juggles the tensions of runaway economic and environmental blight that mark Iceland with the country's [...]

To paraphrase Steve Earle´s famous remark on Townes Van Zandt: Will Oldham aka Bonnie Prince Billy is one the greatest modern-day musicians around, and I´ll stand on Beck´s coffee table in my Onitsuka Tigers and say that. But hey, he´ll probably agree. Anyway: Bonnie Prince Billy will soon release his second album of the year, and that´s great news. Entitled Funtown Comedown , and available on vinyl and as a download only, it´ll feature a mix of Bonnie classics and covers performed live with Louisville locals The Picket Line. So you´d [...]
Gig Of The Week 1 - Lily Allen @ Koko I never was the biggest fan of Lily Allen, Smile just never did it for me. However The Fear is without doubt the first great single of 2009, and this is Allen's first homeown gig in two years. If The Fear is representative of her forthcoming second album then the Koko crowd, and lovers of witty pop everywhere, should be excited. There's also a quick appearance at G.A.Y. at Heaven on Friday for fans to look forward to. [...]
Það er aldrei tími til að skrifa rassgat af viti þessa dagana. En þetta er að gerast í kvöld og svo skemmtilega vill til að ég veit um MP3 til niðurhals með þessum listamönnum.

Reykjavik Nights hits London one more time on friday next week, May 16th. This time it's the all encompassing cuteness of the Bedroom Community label, with artists Valgeir Sigurðsson and Sam Amidon performing. The event will take place in the Chapel of St. Barnabas in Soho, which should be the perfect venue for music as fragile as this. Fitting quite nicely into the niche already occupied by Múm and Sigur Rós, Valgeir has already made a name for himself as a producer by working on all of Björk's albums since 1998, he released his debut album, Ekvílibríum, last [...]

Valgeir Sigurðsson – Evolution of Waters (featuring Bonnie 'Prince' Billy) Who says file sharing is bad? Without my favorite little private torrent site, OiNK, I never would have come across Valgeir. He made his name producing some amazing artists you may have heard of. (Think the guy featured in this song and some woman named Björk ) I love the fact that Will Oldham is constantly diversifying the artists/producers he works with. I've never [...]
It may be quite hard to see the thread yoking together this seemingly random list of albums (other than that they are all very much approved round my way): Bjork's Vespertine , Coco Rosie's Adventures of Ghosthorse and Stillborn , Bonnie Prince Billy's The Letting Go , and Nico Muhly's Speaks Volumes . The thread is silken, and visible only when the light hits at the right angle; it is manufactured by the polymathematical (producer, engineer, instrumentalist, label boss; tilting at Jim O'Rourke's all-comers title perhaps) and quite probably multi-legged producer Valgeir Sigurdsson.
