On their new album Roots, Select Captain return with a collection of songs that lie in the field between modern folk and atmospheric indie rock. It's an album that point forward and add new colours to the duo's peculiar soundscape, whilst still peeking back on their earlier sounds and songs. 

Traditional and modern at the same time with lyrical themes centered around the grand moments of life.

This is my soloproject. I have been touring and releasing albums  with the rockbands  Nothing of this is Real and Skywriter.

Electro-pop from Copenhagen
marstal:lidell is the result of a unique collaboration on the Nordic music scene. In 2012, the two producers Henrik Marstal and Anna Lidell formed a duo dedicated to atmospheric dreampop with a serious lyrical universe. Listeners have described its music 'The Cure meets Röyksopp' and 'Slowdive with a Nina Hagen vibe'.
The debut album of marstal:lidell, titled d.i.t., is released worldwide through the German label Digital Believe in September 2014. The album was released in Denmark in April 2014. The leading Danish music magazine GAFFA describes marstal:lidell’s music as "carefully worked-out and well-considered constructions, being a joy to listen to with its heavy-driven bass lines. Anna Lidell's voice is a pleasure to encounter."

REAL 
SAFE SPACE FOR ACCIDENTAL POP STARS

What were they up to? Nobody could tell—not even them. Bremer/McCoy recorded straight to tape so that they had as little time as possible to think about it. They just laid it down. They couldn’t really explain it.

 “When it works for me,” says pianist Morten McCoy, “it’s pure meditation, pure prayer. Pure gratitude for simply being, without all kinds of jibber-jabber filling my thoughts.” A sentiment that tells you everything about the feeling and nothing about the sound. 

McCoy and the bassist Jonathan Bremer started making music together back in 2012 when they were still in school. At first the Danish duo played dub. Now they play ethereal, meditative jazz. But they still insist on traveling with their own sound system to shows. 

Outside of Denmark, Bremer/McCoy is released on the prestigious label Luaka Bop, founded by David Byrne. Their latest release, Natten, means “The Night” in Danish, and draws inspiration from the end of day, that regenerative time under the constellations when our lives look different. 

Music for putting your hand into a pebbly stream, music for walking into traffic. 

Pre-order Natten, out on Luaka Bop on October 29, now.

Taking the art of jazz guitar to the frontier, Tao uses a variety of effect pedals and loop machines to build robust, droning soundscapes. All sounds are initiated by the guitar and tweaked in real time with electronic devices. No preprogramming or slick computer-tricks. An expansion of the guitar - the instrument and a showcase that “knobs tweaking” can be a very expressional instrument in its own right.

After years of work in their studio in Norrebro in Copenhagen, in seclusion on the Danish isle of Bornholm, and in the Swedish music capitol, Gothenburg, have the duo Nothing of this is Real just presented their album ‘Did we kill you, dear?’.

Nothing of this is Real is the result of a long lasting work fellowship between singer, guitarist, and main lyricist, Jakob Dahn, and multi-instrumentalist and producer, Morten Dalhoff.
They have been working together since 2001 and have released records and toured with their former band , Skywriter, and now as the duo Nothing of this is Real. Their first release under that name was the EP ‘The Runner’ from 2011.

Nothing of this is Real has parallel to the work on the album toured in Denmark and Germany with an acoustic set up, but has now gathered a seven-piece-band - which consist of great musical forces such as drummer Rune Kofoed (Afenginn, Grow Fins), cellist and singer Line Felding (Cody, Monkey Cup Dress), amongst others – to help give the album its musical wings in  2015.  

The album  ‘Did we kill you, dear?’ was mixed in Gothenburg together with the Swedish producer wizard Mattias Glavå (Håkon Hellström, Dungen, Anna Järvinen etc.) and was  released in February 2015 on Wild Mood Records/Iceberg Music Group.

The album ‘Did we kill you, dear?’ is both musically and lyrically comprehensive. Lyrically it spreads from the political over lyrics about lived life to the more abstract. Musically the album spreads from grand orchestrated extrovert noisy rock’n’roll drama to indie feels, such as the first single ‘Borrowed Shoes’ to the tender stripped down storytelling. From 72 tracks to 2 tracks. From 160 mph to a walk in the woods.

The duo’s got a publishing deal with Iceberg Publishing 

"‘Did We Kill You, Dear?’ opens up into a blistering, diverse and hugely entertaining album, packed full of big tunes, great instrumentation and astute lyrics."
