Rose Rovine e Amanti
Rose Rovine e Amanti is a musical project based in Rome lead by Damiano Mercuri aided by Noemi York Christian Valente and Giuseppe Lorenzoni. The sound has changed through the years from a pure neo-folk to a wider range of sounds. The music is a brilliant mixture of acoustic neofolk-rock with some bitter songwirtin’ tunes. To describe their music we could mention artists like: Sol Invictus, And Also The Trees, David Bowie, Lucio Battisti, Leonard Cohen, Death In June & Current 93 and Jacques Brel style, all reinforced by a Mediterranean taste.

Cone
CONE was founded by the Dutch Hermann Blaupunkt, guitarplayer in Het Droste Effect, former guitar player for stoner rock outfit Lupu Negru and owner of Studio Casa Cassette. The guitar and other string instruments will always be important in CONE output. Freaky folk parts blend with field recordings suddenly ripped apart by a fuzzy guitarsolo or a subtle noise passage. Apart from the guitars, there’s toy instruments, voices, effect boxes, organs, field recordings from all over the globe and other stuff.
Tune-Yards
Experimental, experimental, experimental. That more or less sums up the music Merrill Garbus creates under the name tUnE-yArDs, a moniker she adopted, capital letters and all, in 2007. "Sunlight," off Garbus' recently released album BiRd-BrAINs, was made using just a hand-held voice recorder, ukulele, and some noisy, off-balance drums.
SixToes

‘Scruffy, sinister folk rock. Something like Anthony and the Johnsons singing the scariest words of Aleister Crowley. In hell’. - NME
Brown Bird
Brown Bird is an American acoustic band. Pulling from the influences of the blues, outlaw country, roots rock, early American folk, Gypsy and Eastern European music, Brown Bird offers harmonized voices, haunting lyrics and diverse rhythm and instrumentation, which surges in waves that often swell into high-spirited, foot-stomping madness. Brown Bird began in 2003, and has since toured extensively, including a European stint supporting RI-based band The Low Anthem. The band went through several line-up changes before settling on it's current form as a duo:
Unida
Unida was an American stoner rock band that was formed after the dissolution of Kyuss and Slo Burn. The band originally consisted of John Garcia (vocals), Arthur Seay (guitar), Miguel Cancino (drums) and Dave Dinsmore (bass). Dinsmore was later replaced by Scott Reeder, who was in turn replaced by Eddie Plascencia. Paul Gray of Slipknot also played with the band as a touring bassist. In 1999, the band appeared on a split CD release with Swedish band Dozer.
Grizzly Bear
Hailing from Brooklyn, New York, Grizzly Bear are a four piece folk band. Grizzly Bear's music is seductive and intimate, deep with hazy-eyed choruses, whistles, piano, banjo, and several woodwind instruments. In their music, melody and ambiance are necessary complements. Grizzly Bear was originally the solo project of Edward Droste (vocals/guitar), who recorded their debut album Horn of Plenty at home.
Kyst
Kyst is a band of Norwegian origin, currently residing in Sopot, Poland. It's music varies from folk and post-rock to experimental and improvised music, oftenly influented by the New Weird America movement. However, the musicians prefer not to limit themselves to any specific genre, considering freedom and emotional devotion being the most important musical values. The band originally consists of 4 members (Tobiasz Biliński, Adam Byczkowski, Marcin Turzyński, Jacek Rezner), however mostly performs as a Biliński-Byczkowski duo...
