Stars of the Lid

Stars of the Lid are a band specializing in drone-based ambient music. They list among their influences minimalist and electronic composers such as Arvo Pärt, Zbigniew Preisner, Gavin Bryars, and Henryk Górecki, as well as Talk Talk (both bands have tracks named "Taphead"), post-rock artists Labradford, and ambient innovator Brian Eno. Their music largely consists of beatless soundscapes, composed of droning, effects-treated guitars along with piano, strings, and horns; volume swells and feedback fill the gap of rhythmic instruments, providing dynamic movement within the songs.

Seattle Washington's Seapony, comprised of Jen Weidl (Vocals, Guitar), Danny Rowland (guitar) & Ian Brewer (Bass). Their first release was the 3-song single Dreaming followed by their debut album, Go With Me (released by Hardly Art) which puts Jen Weidl's youthful melancholia and yearning on display and wraps it in a blanket of twee/surf/jangle pop.

Artefacts for Space Travel

"Weirdo lo-fi psych rock" - Timeout "a futuristic dystopia of panic stricken pop, contains all the sinister and occult vibrations that a Naked Lunch reader could ever wish to consume." "Brian Jonestown crunchiness and William Burroughs paranoia. Awesome."" Artrocker "Artefacts are three young dudes who play straight-up rock reminiscent of Nirvana and Pavement, but manage to contemporize in a way that makes it sound futuristic and sometimes spooky" - 'Sup Magazine

Take

(For the Korean boy band, see 테이크.) There is more than one artist under this name: 1. Based in Los Angeles, Take (Sweatson Klank) is a composer who continues to push the boundaries of instrumental hip-hop music into new directions. After multiple successful EP's under his belt, Take finally unleashed his debut full length player in 2007, Earthtones and Concrete. This music is nothing short of an epic journey with continuously evolving collages that lead the listener down a dust covered road of bit-crushed melodies and molested jazz samples.

NorthBorne

"NorthBorne" is all about electronic experiments, electronic beats, happiness, aggression, pleasure from pain and monotone grooves. All programming and production by Christian Lund, who also has been playing with Icon Of Coil since 2000. Additional production and programming by Alexander Coucheron Jarl. NorthBorne is signed to Out Of Line Records in Germany, and the debut EP was released as a bonus disc on the ever popular Out of Line sampler "Industrial for the Masses vol. 3" in August 2006.
