Taken from the forthcoming album 'Asylum For Eve', released February 10th 2017.

Featuring new material and reworked soundtracks, the album drifts from plaintive piano-led passages to brisk chamber music and back again, tied together by the textured layering of found sounds and instruments that distinguishes Thomas’s music.

After tracking down an old Bechstein Model 9 upright piano for ‘Asylum For Eve’, Thomas set about modifying and preparing it with cardigans, screws and nails in order to provide the textures and timbres which characterise the album’s dense, affecting sound. Techniques employed for the album include the intricate layering of bowed guitars and ukuleles, and fingerpicked violins, banjo and charango. It’s processes such as these, coupled with Hill’s high quality composition and musicianship, that see the album at once expansive and intimate.

Our friends over at INDIGENOUS are due major kudos for this Lovely Hearts Club addition. Ryan Karazija is the man behind Low Roar, who just released his debut, self-titled album this November. What perfect timing of this release, as it's so nice to have something a bit sad to put in the headphones on these cold, short days of winter. Ryan moved from San Francisco to Iceland and began writing this album as he found himself in a state of loneliness struggling to provide for his family in a foreign land. Anyone who as ever picked up and left a stable life in hopes of finding something new/better/different or just to escape from their past knows this feeling of despair, fear of the unknown, and hope of what's to come.

The brand spanking new video for "Give Up", (recently premiered via Prefix) depicts this image of self-reflection so beautifully and raw that it might just bring a tear to your eye. It's nice to be reminded that we are capable of feeling the melancholy brought on by Low Roar, and for that we are thankful.  So take a seat or lay down in your room with the lights dimmed and stream "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight". Then head to iTunes and pick up the whole album, you won't regret it!

Lovely Hearts Club Presents: Low Roar - Tonight, Tonight, Tonight

It's a track from Saltillo's album Ganglion. 

Saltillo - The Opening

Surrogate Sibling is the solo studio project of composer/multi-instrumentalist Dieter Dolezel.

Being an already established, multiple award-winning classically trained composer, originally active in the field of contemporary classical music, his interests gradually developed over time towards a more inclusive approach to music making, one that would incorporate the multitude of musical influences that accompanied him since his earliest days of being a musician. As a consequence, the vision arose to found a music project, that would be an open playing field of free musical expression between the poles of classical and popular music, yet devoid of any mainstream trends and hence, Surrogate Sibling was born.

From early on, a rather unique feature of the project was the notion of featuring various collaborating musicians with vastly different musical backgrounds, that would also possibly change with each new album.
The music is deliberately neither strictly classical nor pop, oscillating freely between intricately crafted, chamber-music-like string and piano arrangements and contemporary electronic beats and soundscapes in varying degrees, mixing it up with the occasional electric guitar part, performed by Dolezel himself, incorporating a wide range of influences spanning from Reichian minimalism to Autechre’s abstract electronica and even a little dose of Ravel.

The self-titled debut album was released to critical acclaim on Autentico Music in late 2014, and the sophomore album "Hive" will be released by 1631 Recordings on October 5.
