Releases Canal Electro Rock (August 2017) #Rock #Indie #Alternative #NewWave #Electronic

Swedish boutique music label ICEA adopted the Positano natives to polish their dream-pop soundscapes. Listeners were introduced to Emmecosta’s music at the end of 2016 and the dawn of 2017 with the tracks “His Power of Youth” and “Miguel”. The synths, punctuated guitar and silky vocals evoke memories of Phoenix circa 2004. The remaining two tracks, “Heavy Heart” and “A Mountain From Us” blend pulsing waves of synths and echoing vocals, mirroring Snakadaktal’s Sleep in the Water (2013). 

In many ways, Emmecosta communicate intoxicating atmospheres with their dream-pop, reminiscent of Washed Out, where the muffled vocals paint the landscape and guide the listener to melt into nature. The music videos for “Miguel” and “His Power of Youth” were filmed in seaside Positano and Scandinavian forests, complementing the music and the story of the band. Emmecosta says, “There is a hidden romantic darkness in the actual story, which represents the band’s melancholy in relation to their hometown in Italy, and what it was been like to immigrate to Sweden. There is a craving for home, yet acceptance of new belonging.” 

Stereogum and Clash Magazine have both praised the band for their “blissed out electronics with a liquid feel” more accurately than their self-proclaimed “post-club tropical indie soul” - a description that raises eyebrows, but enhances a sense of self-awareness in the calming hours after a party, before bed.  Emmecosta dedicates their music ideas to time and place - living in the moment, while feeling split between their lives in Italy and Sweden. The result is a sound that feels comfortable and contemplative.   

"’Velour’ is the feeling of unshakable longing for a place we’ve never been. This is a specific form of wanderlust – a craving for a distant land or a deep feeling of ‘homesickness’ for a place we have never seen. We imagine distant places through small fragments: everyday life seen elsewhere. We are going through a strange sensation of disorientation, something magical seen from far away. We fall in love with this fragment. It holds the promise for more. We move around it.” - Emmecosta

Emmecosta had a particularly busy 2015. After breaking through with debut single Brontos which Clash accurately described as ‘post-club’, the trio from Gothenburg have been paving their own soundtrack to that time when it’s too late to go to bed, but too early to get up.
 
Then end of 2015 saw the guys release Snowboy, followed by being asked to open for Chimes and playing a slot at the Rockaway Beach Festival alongside Young Fathers and Ghostpoet. The stage was seemingly set.
 
Emmecosta's new present His Power Of Youth might be going for "Post-club tropical indie soul”. And why shouldn’t they… After all it’s 21st century where the sonic world is their creative oyster. Start with London Bass artists Belgrave and NOVAA, then combine the production of Mount Kimbie and Gold Panda and you’ll see what platform we’re on here. There are elements of James Blake’s usage of sonic space in a relaxed manner, and topped with Josef Salvat’s more acoustic details of the Hustler-esque pulsating backbone of the production. It’s really, really good…

Following the release of their acclaimed debut LP ‘Brainsugar’, Cubicolor return with a remix of ‘Fictionalise’ from iconic Norwegian duo Lindstrøm & Prins Thomas. 

The pioneering pair have achieved notoriety over the past 13 years since first working together, with a remarkable back catalogue of influential work including much-loved solo albums, a collaborative LP, and joint remixes for the likes of The Chemical Brothers and Roxy Music. The duo join forces again for the first time since 2012 on a melancholic, disco-tinged remix, following a fruitful few years of solo releases which have been acclaimed by the likes of Pitchfork, Resident Advisor, BBC6Music and NPR.

Fictionalise (Lindstrøm & Prins Thomas Remix)

Unknown to most, Gothenburg trio Emmecosta are all from a small town in Italy called Positano. After residing, recording and releasing all of their music in Sweden for the last seven years, the band consider themselves Swedish nationals but haven’t forgotten their roots, with new single ‘Miguel’ they aim to build on the Swedish/Italian connection.

Described quite brilliantly be Clash Magazine as “post-club tropical indie soul”, the bands debut EP garnered support from other hipster tastemakers Noisey and Complex, followed up by last years single ‘His Power Of Youth’ leading Stereogum to compliment their awareness of space in production, citing “they have a deft touch that goes each element room to breathe.” Envisage James Blake’s sonic usage of space with the production and songwriting worthy of a seat alongside Gold Panda, Belgrave and NOVAA; Emmecosta could fit right into London’s Bass scene.

‘Miguel’ is a story about a man and his own land portrayed by the delicate deliverance in Emmecosta’s music. There is a hidden romantic darkness in the actual story, which represents the bands melancholy in relation to their hometown in Italy, and what it was been like to immigrate to Sweden. There is a craving for home, yet acceptance of new belonging.

Emmecosta further this:
"’Miguel’ is a part of us that we have left in Italy. It's the son, grown up, of our past.  We look after him, we look at him, but from the North.  The song is about Miguel, the exponential image of our roots."

‘Miguel’ will be available via Swedish tastemakers Icons Creating Evil

Pre-Order Lucas' new album Whet right here:

https://store.cosmicdreamermusic.com/products/lucas-oswald-whet-vinyl

After getting in his time as a performing & touring musician with bands like The Appleseed Cast and Shearwater, Lucas embarked on a long and cathartic songwriting and recording process that would result in his sophomore full length, Whet. Lucas Oswald pulls influence from all over the map to craft his dense and colorful sophomore album. The songs were written over several tours abroad and recorded near Oswald’s hometown in rural Missouri, as well as San Antonio and Austin.
 
Whet also means to sharpen a tool, which to Lucas was a great metaphor for growth. "It took a lot of growth to make this album, and for me, as an artist, to sorta become the person I am." The homophone "wet" means almost the opposite of the "sharpened tool" definition of whet and the album (sonically) is just that: juxtapositions between sharp, punchy, abrasive sounds, and washy/reverby textures. It sounds as much like a singer songwriter record as it does like a reverb-laden Britpop record from the 90’s. Where Lucas’ creative journey ends, the journey of Whet begins.

lyrics:
You say it like it's wrong
words feel like a strangers
When all I did was fall
And try my best to save ya
We can walk in circles
making all the rounds
When we start about it
Then we shut our mouths
I'm your best illusion
Your shadows sneaking out
I can see it

Always
Always
I can be the one to say it
Always
Always :||

Feelin like a ghost
you're mad about it
hidden on the run
free fallin found ya/
so we go in circles
spinnin all around
you can sing about
what'll never leave your mouth
losing your illusion
shadows slipping out
I can see it

Always
Always
I can be the one to say it
Always
Always :||

Emmecosta - Heavy Heart

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

iTunes http://hyperurl.co/q612za
WV http://westernvinyl.com/shop/wv152

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.

Remix by Prins Thomas

“Når me våkne opp i mårå” is taking you back to the early New-York disco with its catchy groove and slappy bass!

Produced by Ådne Meisfjord (120 Days, Serena Maneesh) and mixed by Eric Broucek (DFA, LCD Soundsystem, !!!)

Tôg (Stavanger, Norway)
Meet Norwegian horror-house pop act Tôg – sizzling synthesizers, 60′s combo organs, arpeggio swirls and thumping, italo-house beats. Beginning through a chance encounter, lead-man Lars Christian Olsen and his room mate would conduct “disturbing” sessions of electronic music experimentation using laptop synthesizers and a newly purchased Farifsa organ. But as luck will have it with true musical genius, the two came to produce “Sansen” – a massive Summer hit in Norway.

Joining forces with trusted friends and fellow musicians, Olsen began experimenting with various noises, perfecting and shaping the signature Tôg sound. Playing a string of shows across Norway, as well as national television and the highly reputable Hove-Festival, the bands’ popularity in their home country continued to rise – playing packed clubs, dancing on couches, tables, barcounters and speakers.
