Perera Elsewhere - Bizarre

Samaris single Viltu Vitrast released on 7th October 2013.


‘Elegant and unusual, this is a gem’ NME 8/10 
‘Imagine The xx and Little Dragon eloping to that magical forest in Lord of The Rings and you might be getting close to this record’s wonderfully paranormal aesthetic’ The Line of Best Fit 8/10 
‘Samaris specialise in gorgeous, haunting nocturnes’ Drowned In Sound
‘Samaris is superb. It’s fantastic. It’s amazing.’ The 405
‘This is an effortlessly atmospheric album that has all the arty sophistication of any great Icelandic act’ The Fly 4/5
‘An excellent forward thinking record from three talented musicians, not yet out of their teens’ Loud&Quiet  8/10
‘Mesmerisingly breathy groove from the young Icelandic combo, which should lure you to the delicious confections of their self-titled album’ Metro 

Icelandic teenage wunderkind Samaris’ first UK release comes in the shape of an eponymously-titled album on 29th July. Samaris compiles their two Icelandic-released EPs, Hljóma Þú (2011) and Stofnar falla (recorded at Sigur Rós’ Sundlaugin studio with Gunnar Tynes of múm, 2012.

Combining disparate elements of electronics (Þórður Kári Steinþórsson), clarinet (Áslaug Rún Magnúsdóttir) and Jófríður Ákadóttir’s haunting voice, Samaris mix glacial electronica and bold, percussive beats with haunting chant-like vocals - the lyrics culled from nineteenth century Icelandic poems. Viltu Vitrast for example retells an Icelandic folk tale about villages who ask for help from a supernal being, but worry it will choose not to manifest its power on Earth. The effect is simultaneously ancient and modern – an ethereal sound filled with dark spaces and alien atmosphere. 

Formed in 2011 in Reykjavik, within months Samaris had won both the Icelandic Músíktilraunir (past winners include the likes of Of Monsters and Men) and Kraumur Award. The band’s show at Iceland Airwaves in 2012, attracted the attention of Line Of Best Fit, Drowned In Sound and NPR amongst many others. Singer Jófríður also performs with her sister Ásthildur in the more folk-inclined Pascal Pinion.

Lyrics:

I imagine
I imagine
This is how it feels when you're nothing at all
And it shows
Terror take back what's mine
Go ahead love
Go ahead love
You're all I have to lose
Light
Settle where we left birds to dive
Settle where we left them
Slave
I imagine
I imagine
This is how it feels when you're nothing at all
And you know
Terror take back what's mine
Terror take what's mine

When I left you were louder than me
Dead set
All that said all I’m saying
If you blame anyone for love it's me
Stop right where you stand
Should have known when to fold them
Slave number one
Slave number one
Misery's all there's left where we left love

I know
I know
Men always yield at your will
It means nothing at all
Seen in my head or heard
Terror take what's mine
Go ahead love
Go ahead love
Only the mortal lose
And the tide settles where we left birds to dive

Settle where we left those birds to dive
When I left you were louder than me
Dead set
All that said all I’m saying
If you blame anyone for love it's me
Stop right where you stand
Should have known when to fold them
Slave number one
Slave number one
Stop

En Dejlig Aften, Stille Sølvklart Vandet

Limited Edition 12" - http://goldrobotrecords.bigcartel.com/product/ohioan-empty-every-mt

Ohioan's new album, EMPTY / EVERY MT, is a record of protest songs but this is nothing like protest music you've heard before. This is a new form of country music. It's Appalachian mountain music mashed-up with African desert music played by a dude raised in the shadow of Appalachia who now lives in the desert. (Read that twice if you need to; it's important to the story.) EMPTY / EVERY MT is an album about the "Appalachian Desert," a concept created by Ohioan band-leader Ryne Warner. He posits that one day mountaintop removal and mining will level the forests of Appalachia, turning once lush land into an arid desert-scape not unlike parts of the American West and North Africa. The music here was made using the sounds associated with those places--banjo, dobro, jaw harp, dulcimer, African scales, the electric guitar, modal tunings. The result is an image of Warner's Appalachian Desert rendered in sound.

Lyrics by Ursula Andkjær Olsen:

CITIES OF GLASS

I have no doubt
just, damn, build those gardens
into the sky
sun is gathered by large screens
that unfold like flowers
that unfold like flowers
in and out like flowers
in and out like flowers
in and out

I have no doubt
our futures:
you are welcome in mine
I am welcome in yours
are a castle with many chambers
and the chambers open and close 
in on us as
flowers by night
by light

our futures
our futures
is a castle with many chambers
is a castle with many chambers

cities of glass
cities of glass
cities of glass
in the sky
cities of glass
