Nekrogoblikon

What happens when you put a bunch of bloodthirsty, music-loving goblins together? Well, a lot of disembowelment, but also a lot of catchy tunes. Formed six millennia ago, and practicing only every other leap year on a full moon, the band has perfected their brand of crushing goblin metal. On a cold, dreary winter night in July of 2006, Nicholas Von Doom and Tim were in the woods engaging in general tomfoolery when they stumbled upon a mysterious cardboard box with their names crudely inscribed with a Sharpie® Permanent Marker.

Sin Fang

It's been only 3 years since Iceland's new king of lo-fi layered lushness, Sindri Már Sigfússon, began his official recording career. “Summer Echoes”, the new and second album of his solo-project Sin Fang (he dropped the “Bous”) is now already his 4th album release (including 2 records of his other musical outlet Seabear) since 2007. The album oscillates wildly unearthing glimpses of familiarity - vintage Flying Nun here, Paw Tracks there and a Belle and Sebastian pop nous - while retaining the own stark originality of this uber-talented artist and producer.

Jennie Abrahamson

Jennie har tidigare hörts i triphopbandet Heed och altcountryakten Yukon AK, och bakom akter som Di Leva, Kristoffer Åström, Tomas Andersson Wij och Isolation Years. På hennes solodebut "Lights" möter vi ett ganska otraditionellt singer/songwriter-sound, de har sökt efter ett större, dansigare och krispigare ljudlandskap än vad som normalt tillskrivs genren. Ensamma synthar och trummaskiner blandas med akustiska gitarrer, gamla pianon och välklingande cymbaler och så uppstår något nytt. Popmusik, säger Jennie.

Wardruna

Wardruna is a Norwegian musical constellation set out to explore and evoke the depths of heathen Germanic wisdom and spirituality. Musically Wardruna has its main focus on the cultic musical language found in the near-forgotten arts of galdr, seidr and the daily acts of the cultic life, mixed with impulses from Scandinavian and Nordic folk music. They formed in 2003 in Bergen, Norway. The album entitled ‘Gap var Ginnunga’ is the first in a planned trilogy that will interpret the runes of the Elder Futhark.

Simon Says No!

Just for the record Oslo-based band Simon Says No did not take their name from the popular children's game "Simon Says..." If you're interested in the full story, we'll have to start from the beginning. The seeds of Simon Says No! were formed years ago, before the band was even a figment of anyone's imagination. Current and future band mates Ruben Nesse (guitar/vocals) and Simon Oakland (guitar) were on a European tour in ’06 with their then current band, hardcore outfit Jeroan Drive.

Analogik

Denmarks second capital Aarhus harboured their first two short playing EPs (released exclusively on 10 vinyl by Auditory Designs) and was a well-kept secret amongst DJs and nu jazz connoisseurs. By now the city once again lays ground to their fables from the World Seas. Analogik has settled as a quartet and invited additional guests for this first full cycle. Due to the foursomes different backgrounds, their music isnt easily categorised.
