Message to bears maps

Taken from new album 'Maps' https://messagetobears.bandcamp.com/album/maps&#13;
&#13;
'Maps is the third LP from multi-instrumentalist Jerome Alexander, the man behind Message to Bears. &#13;
&#13;
Following on from the success of Folding Leaves, Jerome has created something that encapsulates the folksy ambience of previous releases whilst adding an electronic dimension. Building layer upon layer, songs evolve with a fragile intensity. Vocal melodies are draped over string and guitar arrangements and end up soaring over them, at the same time lending a hook instantly recognisable as Message To Bears and blending harmoniously with the arrangement. &#13;
&#13;
The overall result of Maps is something that is both startling and familiar. You are drawn in, given a map if you will, and invited on a musical journey that nods to Message to Bears' past but also leads to the future.'&#13;

Modern Country

William Tyler "Kingdom of Jones"

Taken from "Glass Bird Movement" -  CD/Digital/LP+7" 
Out Oct. 14th on morr music

On their first album in six years, ISAN once more weave together electronic soundscapes, delicate rhythms and the occasional odd sound into a pulsating, ever-morphing whole. Glass Bird Movement is Antony Ryan and Robin Saville’s eighth studio album since they have started the project two decades ago. Exchanging ideas between England and Denmark, where Ryan currently resides, ISAN have crafted an album which is reminiscent of heyday Boards Of Canada productions, the friendlier ventures of Aphex Twin or the most focused moments of Ulrich Schnauss, if you will. However, this album (as well their impressive back catalogue, as subtle it may seem) displays a strong signature. ISAN constantly move forwards without leaving their respective studios. And why should they - it’s warm and dry in there and the kettle is always boiling.

Sound In Silence is very pleased to welcome J.R Alexander (aka Message To Bears) with his new Moments EP.

Being already well known under the moniker of Message To Bears, the multi-instrumentalist Jerome Alexander has released so far two albums, one EP and one split album, all of them on the recently closed Dead Pilot Records.

This time he releases his new EP under a different alias, choosing for the first time to use his real name as the new tracks take a more electronic direction.
Moments EP is slightly less ambient and more beat based than his previous releases, while some of its tracks could have easily been released under the name of Message To Bears.

On Moments EP, J.R Alexander demonstrates a progression in his discography, creating five excellent tracks of beautiful soundscapes, using layers of electronics, warm synths, ethereal samples, gorgeous acoustic guitars, glockenspiel, piano and viola.
The finishing touch on the great sound of Moments EP was applied by the carefully done mastering of George Mastrokostas (aka Absent Without Leave).

This is a limited edition of 300 handmade and hand-numbered collectible copies, packaged in a lovely hand-stamped recycled cardboard envelope with the front cover image printed on a polaroid style photo paper and an insert printed on nice fabric paper.
