The magnificent beginning with an earth‐shaking opening sound.

On the 6th August, the instrumental music band featuring a dark and cinematic sound, Anoice, will release a digital-limited second lead single 'quiet wish' from their ​upcoming 6th album 'The Hidden Forest' which will be available on the 17th September.

This single is included in the album as the third track and also takes on the beginning of the album with main themed melodies. It begins quietly with an acoustic guitar, harp, and viola, and then, a piano and a string quartet formed by two violins, a viola, and a cello, and powerful drums are added. This emotional and magnificent sound is what forms Anoice's originality and this is one of the masterpieces of instrumental music.

'Settlers' is the new album from Western Skies Motel, out April 22nd, 2016 in a limited edition of 170 gatefold 180gram vinyl, CD and digital formats.  'Settlers' was mastered for vinyl and digital by Taylor Deupree, with master lacquers cut by Roger Siebel at SAE.  The first 50 Vinyl & CD's ordered come with a bonus EP, 'Generations' mastered by Kirk Marrison of Kiln.

In the dry desert of Arizona that Lost Tribe Sound calls home, a letter is received from guitarist René Gonzàlez Schelbeck who’s eager to share a collection of intimately composed songs, titled 'Settlers'. Upon listening, we are immediately enthralled. There’s a timeworn, arid, and almost badlands quality to Schelbeck’s hypnotic, cyclical guitar style. It seems to perfectly capture the lonely, barren landscape of the American West. 

Yet, there are curious dynamics at play here as Schelbeck, who makes music under the alias Western Skies Motel, is from Denmark and far removed from any upbringing in the rough-hewn Americana style of folk guitar. Conceivably, his music has more in common with the lonesome, calculated tone of Berlin's modern classical scene or the rainy day folk of the UK. Those are intriguing parallels, since the collective mood of Western Skies Motel's music would adapt so well to either environment. 

Words hardly do justice to the rich, immersive experience of 'Settlers'; yet a few may help to set the stage. Schelbeck is a remarkably well rounded instrumentalist, who spent his early days losing his hearing in local punk rock bands. This youthful love for walls of sound and discordant guitar squalls survives in his modern sound palette. However, a more mature approach to these techniques brings moments of palpable tension, adding in uneasy waves of guitar feedback and droning harmonium. 

But ultimately, the truth of what Schelbeck hopes to convey through his music may rest rmly in his subconscious. In hindsight, 'Settlers' is about moving between worlds: not in the dimensional sense, but more as a constant change in form. Each influence and sound Schelbeck incorporates into his music feels native to the delicate ecosystem of these songs and each turn feels as organic and nuanced as that of the natural world. Just as a tree’s leaves wither and fall; a fire sparks and expands only to expend its last bit of fuel, extinguished and left for ash. So true are the parallels we find in our own existence, the complex ritual of growing old and returning to dirt. Decay is inevitable for all life, yet through this it becomes the rich soil for all things proceeding. Western Skies Motel's weighty instrumental mantras may root in this and other meanings yet to be culled. One thing is clear, this music contains signicant power, and, regardless of our conceived themes or geographic locations, it tells a story that is lasting and instantly familiar. 

'Settlers' sees a 180-gram heavy weight gatefold release very similar to the recent Mute Forest debut, 'Deforestation'. The acetate and test pressings were scrutinized for anomalies on world-class vinyl setups at Arizona’s esteemed audio dealer, Arizona Hi-Fi.

Western Skies Motel is building upon a busy year in 2015, having released two very different full-length albums 'Prism' (Preserved Sound) and 'Buried and Resurrected' (Twice Removed).

To celebrate our label's first anniversary, we are releasing Sergio Díaz De Rojas' EP December 03 (Reworked), an outstanding collaborative project that will provide the listener with a varied collection of reworks, ranging from delicate piano and cello to soft electronic and ambient. This EP features CEEYS, Matt Emery, Elskavon, and Jakob Lindhagen.

Limited edition cassette: https://pianoandcoffeerecords.bandcamp.com/album/december-03-reworked

"December 03 was composed and recorded in one afternoon, and released in the middle of the night, without any sort of promotion. Two years later, with the intention of giving these simple but meaningful piano pieces some recognition - and to close that particular phase of my work as a composer - I invited some of my friends to reimagine the four tracks on the EP, and decided to release it through my dear label."

December 03 (Reworked) is available digitally and on limited edition cassette, alongside a remastered version of the four original piano pieces composed by Sergio.

Composed and mastered by Sergio Díaz De Rojas.

Exclusive audio taken from the upcoming album 'View from Above'...

Christopher Colaço and Philipp Schaeper have known each other since moving from their Southern German hometowns to Berlin. Together they studied Jazz piano/drums at the Berlin University of Arts and immediately dived into the vibrant Jazz scene.

Playing and working together shaped their musical common sense. In 2013 Christopher and Philipp had the opportunity to score their first movie (Oh Boy! – A Coffee in Berlin) and formed an old school sounding Jazz band with friends. After winning the German Academy Award for best original score, they continued to develop their collaborative project as a duo writing and scoring music.

At the same time they are working on their own music and started collaborating with classical musicians from the Mahler Chamber Orchestra in 2018, which lead to their first debut album. The record 'View From Above' consists of 7 tracks, creating atmospheric soundscapes that mingle between film-music, classical minimalism, ambient and electronic music.

'View From Above' provides a portrait of Christopher and Philipp's journey over the past few years and was recorded in Berlin at Bonello Studios. The renown mixing artist Francesco Donadello gave the record its final touch and it will be released on May 10th worldwide.
