ALICE BOMAN - Waiting (PAL remix)

Highasakite er i sluttfasen av innspilling av nytt album. Det nye albumet slippes tidlig 2014, men før den tid slipper vokalist Ingrid Helene Håvik soloalbumet Babylove den 1. november i år.

Highasakite er i full sving med å ferdigstille oppfølgeren til albumet 'All That Floats Will Rain', et album som både ga kvintetten en nominasjon til Statoil-stipendet og Spellemannprisen, og som høstet massiv ros fra både publikum og et samlet pressekorps. Musikken og solide liveopptredener ga også bandet en mengde oppmerksomhet i utlandet, og Highasakite har i løpet av det siste året turnert i både USA and Europe. - blant annet under Berlin Music Week, Iceland Airwaves, Eurosonic, SXSW, The Great Escape, Tallinn Music Week, Roskilde, SPOT festival, Reeperbahn Festival og mange flere. Bandet har også sikret seg samarbeidspartnere verden over.

I løpet av innspillingsprosessen til Highasakites kommende album, som denne gangen har foregått i Propellers studio med Kåre Vestrheim som produsent, har låtskriver Ingrid Helene Håvik skrevet en mengde låter. Underveis ble det klart at ikke alle disse passet like godt inn på det nye albumet til bandet. Låtene var samtidig alt for sterke til å gi slipp på, og Ingrid Helen Håvik har derfor parallelt med produksjonen av det nye albumet til Highasakite også fullført disse låtene med det hun selv beskriver som et litt annet sound.

Vi har nå gleden av å offentliggjøre at dette materialet nå slippes 1. november 2013, under artistnavnet Ingrid. Albumet har fått tittelen 'Babylove', og releasekonsert er satt til den 13. november på Parkteatret i Oslo.

"Jeg tenkte at disse låtene ikke passet så godt til Highasakite, og at dem samlet hadde et tema som ikke gikk overens med det som jeg føler er tematikken på det nye albumet vi er i ferd med å ferdigstille. Jeg hadde veldig lyst til videreutvikle overskuddslåtene med et litt annet sound, og samtidig hadde jeg ekstra studiotid til overs i Ocean Sound som jeg ønsket å benytte. Resultatet er et soloalbum jeg er veldig stolt av."

Ingrid har selv både skrevet og produsert albumet i sin helhet, og med seg på albumet har hun fått med seg følgende musikere:
Sarah Jane Summers - stryk 
Petter Vågan - gitar og vokal 
Trond Bersu - trommer
Kari Harneshaug - vokal 
Lea Agati - Vokal

Ingrids soloalbum "Babylove" slippes 1.november på Propeller Recordings

Last Night, I said I don't know where I'm going
But I, am, so, tired of the fight

Last Night, I said I don't know where I'm going
But I, am, driving, until I am alright

Those sodium vapors are guiding me home
Slowly these wavelengths are making me whole
Those sodium vapors reflecting below
Bathing the landscapes in warm yellow glow

Ill keep following these faded lines
These ruts that ive worn by design

Ill keep following these faded lines
These ruts on the 589

Thinking Of A Place

From the self-titled debut by Lean Year.  Available October 20, 2017 on Western Vinyl

Lean Year is the debut, self-titled record by Richmond, Virginia based singer Emilie Rex and filmmaker/musician Rick Alverson. What for Rex was a departure from the structured life of academia toward the uncertain contours of a creative field, for Alverson was a return to form. Having released 5 albums with his previous band Spokane, Alverson took a 10-year hiatus from music to write and direct feature films. These departures and approaches bring a transience and listlessness to the album, like a walk interrupted by both curiosity and caution. 

Equally informed by the minimalist folk music of Elizabeth Cotton, Karen Dalton, and Fred Neil; the tenuous, ambient, and orchestral works of Harold Budd, Brian Eno, and John Cale; the quietly pointed but tender songs of Nina Simone and Bessie Smith; and the baroque pop subversions of Love and The Left Banke—the inspirations for Lean Year are as varied as Rex and Alverson’s biographies. Their childhoods—framed respectively by New-Age ideology and antiquated Catholic Catechism; anarchist Montessori and cold, cloistered ice arenas; the chaotic, upheaval of divorce and the strange, obligatory qualities of life-long marriage—provide footing on uneven ground for the record’s dream-like, oblique observations. In the wake of these dynamic histories, the two leaned on music as a kind of secular spirituality. 

Rex and Alverson co-wrote the album over the course of a year at their home in Richmond, VA and recorded it in three sessions at the home studio of Chicago musician/engineer Erik Hall (In Tall Buildings, NOMO), who also performs on the record. Alverson and Hall co-produced the album’s ten tracks, drawing on both Hall's and Elliot Bergman’s (NOMO) arsenal of instruments. For Hall and Rex, this project was a reunion of sorts, the two having met as undergraduates in Ann Arbor at the University of Michigan over a decade before. Hall’s extensive vocabulary—ranging from jazz and pop to rock and afrobeat—informs his contributions to the record.

Alverson’s films [Entertainment (2015) and the cult-drama The Comedy (2012)] have premiered at Sundance, Locarno, Rotterdam and the Film Society of Lincoln Center among others venues and festivals worldwide. Rex left academia and her position as Indiana University's Assistant Director of Sustainability in 2014 to focus on music and pursue resilience writing and analysis as a consultant. This is her first record.

Lean Year - "Come and See"

"Black Lagoon is the lead single from Still Corners 4th album Slow Air.  With clean toned electric guitar, a driving beat, and the smoky crooning of Tessa Murray, Black Lagoon contains the shimmering atmospherics Still Corners are well known for.  The cinematic video that accompanies the track finds the band on a journey from the desert to the ocean in search of a lost Eden. Filmed over a month in California, Arizona and Texas and shot on a small handheld cinema camera, the band travels across America in a white mustang convertible searching and reaching into the unknown."

Lyrics:

What would you do
If it all came back to you
Each crest of each wave
Bright as lightning
What would you say
If you had to leave today
Leave everything behind
Even though for once you're shining

Standing on higher ground
But when you hear the sounds
You realise it's just a whim (/the wind)
And you notice it matters
Who and what you let under your skin

If put to the test
Would you step back from the line of fire
Hold everything back
All emotions and desires

Convince yourself to be someone else
And hold back from the world
Your lack of confidence
What you choose to believe in
Dictates your rise or your fall

With no one else around you
No one to understand you
No one to hear your calls
Look through all your dark corners
When you're backed up against the wall
Step back from the line of fire

I'd do the same as you would
Would do the same as you
Step back from the line of fire

Junip - Line Of Fire

Originally the moniker Dralms functioned as departure point from songwriter Christopher Smith’s solo work. It was an opportunity to embrace a new process and indulge in a new feel. Taking off from where Smith’s live shows had left off, with a bigger, more band-oriented sound. 2015’s acclaimed debut record Shook was a combination of closer to date material as well as older reworked pieces. Adding lush textures to a live template of guitars, keyboards, drums while employing dub-style tape echo, Melodica, even gospel esc backup vocals. Smith meanwhile had put down his guitar to focus on his vocals, leading us with a heather of romantic hushes into dove soft discussions on concepts of purpose, to the taboos and perils of our love lives. Dralms are mood for thought. 
Soon after the release 2014’s EP Crushed Pleats, the original line up essentially disbanded, but Dralms continued to tour the UK and EU extensively with a rotation of players including Smith’s long time collaborator William Kendrick who he continues work with as Dralms nears the completion of new releases slated for 2017/2018
