11 år har gått siden forrige album, og BURZUM er tilbake. En hel metal-verden
har ventet i spenning på hva som kommer, og det som leveres er helt magisk
bra. Et gitarbasert album som best kan sammenlignes med tidlige BURZUMklassikere. Nærmere bestemt lydbildet fra banebrytende Hvis Lyset Tar Oss
(1994) og atmosfæriske Filosofem (1996), minus mesteparten av deres mer
ambiente partier. Belus er oppkalt etter det latinske navnet for Balder, den
norrøne guden for rettferdighet og lys, men det vi får er selvfølgelig mørk,
beinhard black metal. BURZUM leverer kanskje sitt beste album til dags dato,
og Belus, som er innspilt i Grieghallen, vil garantert stå igjen som en klassiker.
“A suberb example of how good the music behind the infamy actually is”. KKKK KERRANG!

Spacerockmesterene i THE BESNARD LAKES er her med oppfølgeren til
vidunderlige … Are the Dark Horse (JAG 106) fra 2007. …Are the Roaring
Night er en tidlig årsfavoritt her på kontoret, og vi regner med at alle fans
av for eksempel BLACK MOUNTAIN tar notis. Konsert på Mono i april!
“It’s a national disgrace that the heirs to Britain’s peerless
tradition of heavy headrock – its Floyds, Zeps, Sabs and beyond –
are to be found on foreign shores, and stage three of this Montreal
group’s ecstatic voyage rubs salt in the wound” MOJO

BLACK REBEL MOTORCYCLE CLUB slipper nå sitt femte studioalbum, Beat
The Devil’s Tattoo. Dette er deres første ordinære utgivelse på bandets egen
label, Abstract Dragon, og deres første med LEAH SHAPIRO (THE RAVEONETTES) på trommer. Bandet groover mer enn noensinne, og låtene her
er akkurat så sexy, skitne, elektriske og pulserende som man kunne ønske.
BTDT er akkurat den perfekte cocktail av JESUS & MARY CHAIN, VELVET
UNDERGROUND, STOOGES, SPIRITUALIZED og PRIMAL SCREAM vi vil
ha, helt enkelt! Hør tittelsporet, som bl.a. er playlistet av Radio Tango, her:

SIWIHW 020
CD
7393210266032
MOTO BOY gjorde nettopp en strålende figur under by:Larm med en
musikk som kan beskrives slik en entusiastisk publikummer gjorde:
”Dette er det JEFF BUCKLEY ville lått som dersom han hadde hatt THE
SMITHS’ JOHNNY MARR som bestekompis og begge var like håpløst
forelsket i Twin Peaks’ egen Audrey Horne.” Det siste var vi vel alle,
men han hadde mye rett, da ANGELO BADALAMENTIs udødelige musikk
utvilsomt har satt sitt preg på MOTO BOYs romantiske lydbilde, mens
låtene strukturelt kan høres ut som THE SMITHS på lavgir.
En aldeles nydelig plate er det uansett, og den fortjener et stort publikum.

BLOOD RED SHOES overgår seg selv med albumet Fire Like This.
Brighton-duoen har vært i studio med MIKE CROSSEY (ARCTIC
MONKEYS, THE ENEMY, FOALS m.fl.) med målsetningen å få en produksjon like ekte og rå som på NIRVANA-klassikeren In Utero. I tillegg har
bandet lånt øre til mye annet 90-tallsnacks som PIXIES, FUGAZI og SONIC
YOUTH, men låtmaterialet er så sterkt at de ikke låter som kopier av noen!
”The only problem they have now is that they haven’t really left themselves much room
to improve for album three.” 9/10 DROWNED IN SOUND “…they’re as thrillingly loud
as always.” 8/10 NME “…this album sees the duo break the amp controls on their way

The Bundles kan skryte av en line-up med Kimya Dawson,
Jeffrey Lewis, Jack Lewis, Anders Griffen og Karl Blau, en
formidabel gruppe kunstnere som har oppnådd stor suksess på egenhånd.
Dette selvtitulerte debutalbumet er en herlig blanding av alt de har gjort
tidligere; bland de tragikomiske folk-fortellingene til Jeffrey Lewis, med
Kimya Dawsons vennlige rop om tapperhet, multi-instrumenteringen til
Karl Blau, Jack Lewis og Anders Griffen, og resultatet er et album som er
i stand til å være både vittig og ømt, sårbart og trygt - alt samtidig.

har virket inn på bandets ikke så rent lite FLAMING LIPS/ARCADE FIRE-inspirerte

Fantastisk samleplate med PORTER WAGONER, en ofte misforstått artist. Syngende
på låter om topper og daler i det menneskelige sinnet iført sin lilla Nudie-dress, har
han skapt en av de merkeligste katalogene av alle countryartister, og muligens
av noen populærmusikkutøver. I tvil? Sjekk ut denne skallesprekkende og hjerteknusende samlingen. Låter som den om den plagede sjelen George Leroy Chickashea,
’the meanest man that ever lived’, det desperate klageropet som er Lonely Coming
Down, og det sydende såret Fairchild. Likevel blant disse menneskelige togvrakene
er det juveler av brennende patos og dyp åndelighet som Moments of Meditation
og Little Boy’s Prayer. DOLLY PARTON bidrar også må vite… 4.5/5 ALLMUSIC

9312336020234
Bruce Haacks The Electric Lucifer er med rette regnet som et av høydepunktene
blant det 20. århundrets elektroniske musikk. Opprinnelig gitt ut i 1970 er det et album
unikt både i unnfangelse og realisering. Et utpreget lyttevennlig stykke arbeid der
pop-psykedelia og Moog-lyder samles rundt Haacks sentrale, metafysiske begrep
”Powerlove”, en kraft så sterk at det kunne ende kriger og forene menneskeheten.
Kritikerrost da det opprinnelige kom ut (et av Rolling Stones favorittalbum i 1970) har
ikke vært kommersielt tilgjengelig på over tre tiår, men her er The Electric Lucifer for
første gang på CD! Remastret og restaurert fra de opprinnelige mastertapene som
nylig ble oppdaget i Columbias hvelv. Inneholder en rekke bonusspor. 4.5/5 ALLMUSIC

NORMA JEAN var PORTER WAGONERs scenepartner før DOLLY PARTON tok

det de fleste var ikke klar over at Norma Jean var Dolly før Dolly ble Dolly, ikke
bare som Porters duett- og turnépartner, men også ifht. stil og innhold innspillingsmessig. Kjærlig remastret fra de originale RCA Victor-tapene presenterer Omni her,
for første gang på CD, hele I Guess That Comes From Being Poor (1972), og også
høydepunkter fra albumene Body and Mind (1968) og Another Man Loved Me Last
Night (1970). 30 spor i alt!

KEEL slapp for 25 år siden klassikeren The Right To Rock, produsert av GENE
SIMMONS (som også var med å skrive 4 av låtene). Dette albumet ble etiketten
A&Ms hurtigst selgende debutalbum noensinne, og bandet fikk massiv MTV-rotasjon
med videoen til tittelsporet. Låter som Speed Demon, Easier Said Than Done og,
selvsagt, The Right To Rock står som påler blant heavy metalens store anthems,
og det var derfor helt på sin plass at dette albumet fikk en lydoverhaling, utvidet
coverhefte med sitater fra de originale anmeldelsene + to bonusspor.

They formed in November 2008 to play one show at the punk-space “Tinderbox”(RIP),
in their hometown Brattleboro, VT. Kyle needed a band to play his new pop songs because
he was too scared to play by himself. They enjoyed playing with each other so much that they
decided to keep doing it. They have now played a total of 5 shows.
Kyle sings and plays lead guitar. The songs are mostly his, but the band arranges and finishes
them together. He is also a painter and drawer and loves top 40, shoes, texting, comic books,
etc. Ruth Garbus plays drums and sings. She also makes her own music and art.
Chris Weisman plays “inverted-tuning” guitar, bass, and sings. He makes 4-track songs,
enjoys reading and writing, and is a guitar teacher.

After releasing two critically acclaimed full-lengths (Nine Times That Same Song, A Hundred

Love Is All returned home to Gothenburg, Sweden after their spring 2009 tour with no record
deal in place (and accordingly, no demands) to produce a new album. And so, the band members decided to take their time writing and recording and — gasp! — actually have a good
time collaborating on the songs that would eventually comprise their third record:
Two Thousand And Ten Injuries.
The result is an eclectic collection of pop melodies, anchored by New Wave and punk rock
rhythms, that are as refined as they are unpredictable. All told, Two Thousand And Ten Injuries
successfully manages to be Love Is All’s most adventurous, and dare we say, accessible,
album yet.
PRESS MENTIONS
Love Is All’s boisterous clamor is the real draw here. The band skips over cerebral tricks and
hep posturing, instead going straight for adrenalized kicks, and it’s a rush that lasts long after
the record ends. ~ The Village Voice
Love Is All are a Swedish outfit and it was their last single, “Make Out Fall Out Make Up” that
first caught my ear… An exciting, three-minute dead, slab of pure pop noise, dominated by
Josephine Olausson’s enthusiastic vocal and a wall of vibratoless sax, the best kind.

12. The New Situation
MOSE ALLISON’s new album and ANTI- debut The Way of the World arrives March
23rd, 2010, marking his return to the recording studio after a 12 year absence. Working with maverick producer JOE HENRY, ALLISON has found his most sympathetic setting in years, surrounded by young, vibrant players, who add surprising slide guitar and
some sinewy saxophone to the classic MOSE sound; The Way of the World also features
MOSE’s first-ever duet with his daughter, singer AMY ALLISON. Yet this album is all MOSE,
from the solo song Modest Proposal, a sly scalpel taken to organized religion, to the
modernist, Monkish changes he takes the band through on the lone instrumental, Crush.
ALLISON occupies a hallowed place in blues songwriting, sitting alongside DIXON and PERCY
MAYFIELD in bringing a witty, urbane sensibility to the modern blues. Also well documented
is his sway over a generation of British rockers – most rock fans know THE WHO’s blistering
run-through of Young Man’s Blues on Live at Leeds, but are less aware of MOSE’s influence on
JOHN MAYALL, VAN MORRISON, RAY DAVIES, and THE YARDBIRDS, all the way through
to THE CLASH, who covered Look Here on Sandinista. Then there is that subtle, indefinable
fact of MOSE’s voice, that laconic, laid-back singing style without which we would have no
NORAH JONES, DIANA KRALL, BELLE AND SEBASTIAN, and SCHOOLHOUSE ROC. Not
to mention ALLISON the respected pianist, with his nods to MONK and GARNER, and a slew
of five-star Downbeat reviews in his piano bench. The Way of the World finds MOSE playing
and writing with a new looseness, a playfulness and verve that belies his years, while behind
the offhand swing lies the weight of those years, in the slowburn vitriol of MOSE’s mind in full
gear. That canny blend of easy swing and lyrical incision makes The Way of the World an

Aloha follows the acclaimed LP Some Echoes (2006) and acoustic EP Light Works (2007)
with a powerful record that shows the band unbound by past influences and boldly stepping
out of the shadows.
Home Acres pushes the tempos and dials up the guitars, with the band’s slow-burn intensity
sometimes overflowing into huge moments. But even as the energy surges, Aloha casts an
otherworldy glow, serving up ambience and attack with equal measure. Lyrically, Home Acres
tries to sort through the wreckage of the Great Lakes region and a way of life. Left abandoned
“waiting for a getaway car that never came” in the record’s arena-rock-by-way-of-Silver
Apples closer “Ruins,” we’re left to think that maybe we ought to have dreamt bigger and
fought the urge to disengage.
A suggestion that Aloha has taken to heart for its biggest, brightest record to date.

“If you like your metal passionate, heaving with ideas and rich in substance,
then Barren Earth are a band you need in your life.” Zero Tolerance
“Potent, aristocratic and utterly beautiful.” Terrorizer
With a wealth of experience from internationally renowned acts, from former members of
Finnish metallers Amorphis, to current members of Swallow the Sun, Moonsorrow, and
Kreator, Barren Earth presents progressive and folk textured death/doom metal of the highest
order on their hotly anticipated debut album on Peaceville Records. Titled ‘Curse of the Red
River’, the album combines the best elements of metal, prog, and more obscure psychedelic
rock – from Opeth to Pink Floyd, and Paradise Lost to Jethro Tull.
The ‘Curse of the Red River’ recording session took place at Seawolf Studios, Helsinki (Ghost
Brigade), in Summer 2009 with mixing carried out by the prolific Dan Swanö at Unisound in
Sweden (Katatonia, Opeth, etc) who commented: “One of the best albums I have ever had
the privilege to mix. The album is THAT good!!”
Artwork comes courtesy of Travis Smith (Opeth, Katatonia, Bloodbath).
Barren Earth recently conducted their debut live gig in Helsinki, and plan to embark upon
a series of shows throughout 2010, with a performance at the renowned Summer Breeze
festival already confirmed.
“The debut album will be huge!” Rock Hard “I can already predict a lot of
success for Barren Earth. You’ll hear a lot about this band in 2010” Metalstorm
“This collective has the talent of Opeth and they are not ashamed to show this
influence… a new super band has been born” Lords of Metal “Barren Earth challenged
themselves and the metal scene. They created a masterpiece, earthshaking for every
progressive and technical metal fan. With such an entrance, you are rarely forgotten!”

CD
They’ve been wowing festival and club audiences around the world non-stop for the last couple of years
with their wild, powerful show, and now they are back with their strongest album so far.
Balkan Beat Box - the three-headed, dancefloor-conquering powerhouse principally comprising Tamir
Muskat, Ori Kaplan and Tomer Yosef - have been busy since the release of 2007’s devastating debut
for Crammed < Nu-Med > (not forgetting last year’s fine remix collection < Nu-Made >) honing a sound
that mixes musical gene pools more effectively than ever : they have arrived at < Blue Eyed Black Boy
> - as loud, proud and politically-engaged a statement as you could hope for from this most 21st century of bands. Recorded across a suitably diverse range of European locations - Ori’s adopted city of
Vienna, Austria, the Serbian capital of Belgrade and the band’s mutual hometown Tel-Aviv in Israel were
all bases covered on this album’s journey - < Blue Eyed Black Boy > finds BBB going that bit deeper,
finding striking melodies, rock-solid song structure and an ever-sharper political awareness alongside
their typically artful sonic collision of global musical styles and thundering danceloor beats.
First full track < Move It > is a trademark BBB block-rocker, with duelling brass blowing a minor-scale
middle eastern wind across chunky tabla-assisted rhythms as MC Tomer spouts lyrical, cheekily referencing the band’s past glories (‘the digital monkeys on a move’) as well as dropping the immortal lines
of roots-reggae legend Max Romeo, with an individualist twist (< we can show u how to send u to outer
space/to fly on your ownŠ >). Yet with the title track that follows we are shown a new, more measured side
to BBB : the pace slows to a loping groove, guitars shimmer and Tomer delivers a thoughtful paean to
struggles of the racial, social and political kind, seen through the ‘blue eyes’ of the ‘black boy’ in question.
In general the mood throughout < Blue Eyed Black Boy > remains buoyant and empowered, with
< Marcha de la Vida >, < Balkumbia > and incendiary closer < War Again > destined to be new live
anthems, and the contagiously poppy hip hop bump of < Look Them Act > coming off like some classic Timbaland production given a Mediterranean coast makeover. This unique trio of musicians have
successfully nailed the communal spirit and energy of their live shows down to tape, and the result is
the brightest, most confident and adventurous model of BBB to date. All this, and they haven’t even
hit the road yet.

mixed with the help of Richard Gottehrer (Strangeloves, Voidoids, Blondie, The Go-Gos and,

Red Sparowes is a Los Angeles based instrumental group known for its epic, heavy and
sprawling sounds heard over the course of two full length albums -- At The Soundless Dawn
(2005) and Every Red Heart Shines Toward the Red Sun (2006) both on Neurot Recordings
-- three split discs and the recently released Aphorisms (2008) digital EP. The band consists
of current and former members of Isis, Halifax Pier, Pleasure Forever, Angel Hair, Made Out
of Babies and The VSS.
The band toured extensively in the U.S. and Europe following the release of At The
Soundless Dawn. A split EP release with Gregor Samsa was released in 2005 on
Robotic Empire and the Black Tar Prophecies Vol. 1 split EP with Grails followed in 2006 on
the same label.
Red Sparowes second full-length release, Every Red Heart Shines Toward the Red Sun,
was recorded at Prairie Sun and Louder Studios in San Francisco with producer Tim Green
(Comets On Fire, The Fucking Champs, The Melvins). The album was released in September
2006 and the band toured even more extensively throughout 2006-2007.
Red Sparowes went into the studio with engineer Toshi Kasai (Melvins, Big Business, Tool) in
May 2008 and the resulting 3-song EP Aphorisms was released digitally that July via Sargent
House. A physical release consisting of 12” vinyl will be out in November of 2009. The band
has just finished recording their third full-length album, with their new permanent guitarist
Emma Ruth Rundle and returning again to producer, engineer Toshi Kasai.

Et av vårens mest etterspurte album!
If you think you know Caribou, think again. Dan Snaith’s new album, Swim is the sound of
the musical glass ceiling being blown away.
If there is a link to previous album Andorra, it would be in the ravishing explosions of sound
pulsing through album closer ‘Niobe’. A continuum of sorts leads us to 2010, but that finale
gives mere hints as to the future Caribou. From the opening effervescent gambol of ‘Odessa’
to the glorious odyssey of ‘Jamelia’, it’s crystal clear that Caribou has made a massive leap
forwards, upwards and sideways.
Dan’s latest recording sees him getting busy in the basement with some expertly
constructed, rave-tinged sounds that sing with soul. But that’s not all. As a songwriter
of considerable standing, Dan has not subsumed his uniquely recognisable touch in
an orgy of technical bliss – although, there is plenty of euphoria in the musical alchemy on offer. From Dan’s perspective, he says, “The most important thing for me with
this record was finding my own sonic vocabulary. That’s why I’m proud of this record.”
Swim is full of brightly textured, rapturous gems that gleam with astonishing production – and then wrenches at your heart with soulful, thoughtful reveries on the passing of time, family history and the breakdown of relationships. “There are songs about
growing old in a relationship, about divorce and loneliness in old age but the lyrics
are generally pretty abstract sketches of what’s going on in the situation in my head.”
Ready for the new Caribou future?

humans singing together. We are sending a pop music message through time.”
So says The Apples in stereo / Elephant 6 collective mastermind Robert Schneider.
The Apples’ new album and seventh studio effort, Travellers in Space and Time is the
follow-up to their critically acclaimed hit album New Magnetic Wonder and their second
release in association with Elijah Wood’s Simian Records.
Travellers finds the studio-obsessed indie rockers continuing the hook-heavy pop mastery they
achieved on New Magnetic Wonder, an album that spawned performances on Conan O’Brien
and Stephen Colbert, along with numerous commercial placements (Pepsi, Samsung, New
Balance) and even a performance of hit single “Energy” by the contestants of American Idol.
Well over a year in the making, the new material recasts the Apples’ signature pop sounds
in chrome-plated futurism, all while adding a dance-driven vibe channeling ELO, Barry Gibb,
Wild Honey-era Beach Boys and Off The Wall-era Michael Jackson.

Prosthetic Records is proud to unveil the debut album ‘The Descent’ from Norway’s MANTRIC.

Fusing a unique, distinctly Scandinavian take on rich, challenging metal and modern punk with
a powerful progressive edge, MANTRIC recorded “The Descent” in Norway, with studio guru
Tue Madsen handling mixing and mastering duties. Prosthetic Records quickly recognized
that something rather special was developing and are now very happy to have MANTRIC
as part of their diverse roster.
MANTRIC are the first worldwide signing of a European band to Prosthetic Records and
vocalist and guitarist Ole Sveen commented, “Our first album using the Mantric-name does to
our ears deserve to get out to lovers of hard music all over the world, and Prosthetic makes
this possible.
Our music embraces creativity and originality outside the limits of narrow genres, so it suits
us fine to deal with a label that also values this. This is a release that is both accessible and
original, catchy and complex at the same time, and we can’t wait to get it out!”.
MANTRIC will showcase “The Descent” with a selection of gigs across Norway around the
release date before embarking on UK, European and North American tours to support
the album throughout 2010.
“The Descent” is truly urgent music - just as great, challenging heavy music should be. Enjoy.

The long wait is finally over! The Radio Department’s ”Clining to a scheme” is without doubt
this year’s most eagerly anticipated Swedish indie pop album. It’s been four long years, but
a simple press on Play and you’ll know it’s been worth every second. “Clinging to a scheme”
combines the best components from their previous albums “Lesser matters” and “Pet grief”
with soul guitars, P-funk, cut/paste-beats and 70’s futuristic orchestra. Breathtaking!
The Radio Dept. arrived with their album “Lesser matters” in 2003 which is commonly referred
to as the most important Swedish indie pop album of the 21st century. It was embraced by
press and fans all over the world. They had no less than two “Single of the week” in the NME
and it, not surprisingly, ended up Top10 on the NME’s “Album of the year”-list. In 2006 Sophia
Coppola chose to feature three of their songs in the film Marie Antoinette that further helped
them to achieve worldwide recognition and the same year the chart-topping and critically
acclaimed album “Pet grief” was released. In the end of 2009 “Lesser matters” came to be
one out two Swedish albums to appear on NMEs Greatest Albums of the Decade-list.
“This album is a miniature classic - here’s hoping indie snobbery doesn’t condemn it to the mists
of time (The Top 100 Greatest Albums of the Decade)” NME
The Radio Department’s releases have been referred to as The perfect mix between Saint
Etienne and early The Jesus and Mary Chain and The best songs Pet Shop Boys never
wrote and the album you’d hoped My Bloody Valentine did after ”Loveless”. And perhaps
both comparisons makes sense. In a way. But the truth is that Sweden’s No. 1 alternative
pop geniuses only sound like one band - themselves.
The band will do a handful of gig in May this year and a longer tour is expected in the fall of
2010.

After three critically acclaimed solo records, dozens of world tours and TV appearances, Jesse Malin found himself back in
New York City questioning his next move. From his days fronting seminal hardcore trio Heart Attack and glam punks D Generation, then seven years on the road as a solo artist, Malin had cultivated a devout fan base. He’d shared stages with everyone from The White Stripes to Counting Crows, The Hold Steady to Lucinda Williams, but felt like he was losing the plot.
Malin contemplated going back to school, becoming a standup comedian or a Las Vegas wedding DJ, and even
started work on a documentary film about DC hardcore Rastafarians The Bad Brains. For over a year he didn’t play
or record. When asked by a Hollywood screenwriter to pen songs for a film about author J.D. Salinger, Malin — a fan
of Catcher in the Rye and other Salinger works — traveled to Cornish, NH hoping to speak to the famous recluse.
In typical punk-rock fashion, instead of getting the interview, Malin landed at the local precinct for trespassing and
was released only after the cops watched his video duet with Bruce Springsteen for “Broken Radio” on YouTube
and were convinced he was just a writer doing research. Though he never met Salinger (who passed away this past
January), Malin made the most of the experience by writing “The Archer” and “Lonely at Heart”—two songs that
would make him want to work again and become the basis for his new album.
Over the summer of 2009, in the basement of Avenue A watering hole Hi-Fi, the songs came forth. Malin, with
impresario Don DiLego, drummer Randy Schrager, guitarist Matt Hogan, and bassist/DJ Tommy USA, worked with
his newly formed band to bash out an album’s worth of gritty anthems, and The St. Marks Social was born. A solid
band, but one with an open door to Malin’s community of musician friends - longtime partner in crime Ryan Adams,
pop singer Mandy Moore, fellow label mate Brian Fallon, and former bandmates from D Generation Howie Pyro
and Danny Sage - the Social is a group effort to keep the P.M.A. Says Malin, “To me, rock ‘n’ roll is an exorcism that
begins every night when the sun goes down, the music starts playing, and the spirits start flowing. It helps to say
things in public over dirty microphones. It’s a way to spit out the poison.”
When Jesse met producer Ted Hutt (Lucero, Flogging Molly, The Gaslight Anthem) one drunken night at a local bar,
their talk of making a record fast, loose, and raw, was the beginning of Hutt’s quest to create a record that would
encompass Malin’s roots and evolution—from hardcore thrasher to punk/folk singer-songwriter. The album’s basic
tracks were laid in three days at Greenpoint, Brooklyn’s Mission Studios, and the rest at Sonic Youth’s Think Tank
Studios in Hoboken, NJ. Filled with the characters Malin does best—messengers and misanthropes, hipsters and
hypocrites—and as always, his constant themes of redemption, nightlife, heartbreak, and survival, LOVE IT TO
LIFE—a sentiment taken from a ticket stub Joe Strummer autographed for Jesse—was built with desperate optimism
that shouts in gang vocals that no matter how bad it gets, you’re never alone.
