"Another majestic collection of songs" Billboard

"Her sighing vocals and his gleaming synths have been bolstered by a tad more thump and funk this time round...lovely" The Independent (4/5)

""'Somewhere Else's high drama workouts keeps us dancing with tears in our eyes." Instinct Magazine (4.5/5)

"Synths twinkle like slowly spinning disco balls...Shapiro's vocal, filtered in such a way that it recalls a refracted sunbeam, caps off the dream. When she coos in her upper register...the effect is nearly magical." MSN Music (4/5)

"Somewhere Else is their hotly-anticipated third album - and it's a cracker… Indeed, it's difficult not to form a crush on Sally and her angelic vocals while listening to Somewhere Else. The duo continue to conjure euro-pop gems throughout the album, each one wrapped in funky synths, fat bass lines and cool beats. Electro at its best!" Daily Sport (5/5)

"With the improvements, revamps, and overall more interesting arrangements, Somewhere Else manages to be the equal of Disco Romance" AllMusic (4/5)

"With wispy techno beats leading the way, Somewhere Else, the Swedish duo’s (Shapiro and Johan Agebjörn) third studio album, is a journey to a distant land—a heaven of music for anime characters hosting raves on clouds with rainbows for dance floors."
Filter (80/100)

"Somewhere Else is as charming and featherlight as the rest of their discography, but shows growth in all the right places: New collaborations, new sounds, same feeling."
Idolator (4/5)

"Building on the foundations of the duo’s previous Italo-disco homages, the mysterious Swedes are back, blurring the line between that genre and its close relative, Hi-NRG, to winning effect... Somewhere Else makes for an invaluable addition to any self-respecting pop-loving household." The Line Of Best Fit (7.5/10)

"There are no misses here...if Somewhere Else doesn't blow your leg warmers off, nothing will." Bust Magazine (4/5)

"In Somewhere Else, Sally Shapiro dip from toe to calf in new soundscapes and are enlivened by the feel." Paste Magazine (7.3/10)

"The vocals are delicate and gorgeous as ever, and the music really comes to life, peaking on gripping, sensual “I Dream With an Angel Tonight”; the breezy but sad “What Can I Do”; the intergalactic longing and weirdness of “Starman”; and breathy “Lives Together.” This is her, um, their best album to date."
Tibune (4/5)

Single out on Nov 20th 2012 on Paper Bag Records.
Available worldwide from: http://shop.paperbagrecords.com/products/what-can-i-do-single and http://www.junodownload.com/products/what-can-i-do/2068628-02/
First single from the album "Somewhere Else" out in February 2013.
Written by Roger Gunnarsson, Johan Agebjörn and Jaime Cristóbal. Produced by Johan Agebjörn. Guitar by Jaime Cristóbal.

"From working with labels such as Diskokaine through Permanent Vacation, and alongside artists such as Italo disco legend Fred Ventura and 'chillwaver' CFCF, Shapiro has become the figurehead for the dreamy, spirited pop/indie-disco sound. Her latest for Paper Bag (who initially released a collaboration with CFCF) is a chirpy indie-disco number that takes a cue from vintage 4AD (Cocteau Twins) mixed with just an oversweet touch of '80s Euro-pop; and the result is nothing short of lovely."
DJ Magazine

"Achingly sweet and earnest"
Stereogum

"Taking on elements of indie pop and mixing wispy vocals with light-as-helium synths and even a flute solo, "What Can I Do" feels as inconsequential as a day in the park. It's the sort of track you'll want to play again as soon as it's over, for fear that it might just float away forever."
Refinery 29

"Bedded with newly warmed synth tones and shimmering guitars, "What Can I Do" offers a tender take on acoustic pop that eschews the expected electro backdrop. Still, the pair haven't forgotten their roots: As Shapiro's vocals rise to the puppy-soft chorus, she's backed by syncopated disco drums. And you know what it sounds like? Only the best pajama dance party ever!"

Single from the Sally Shapiro album "Somewhere Else" out now on Paper Bag Records.

The single includes Miami Nights 1984 remix and instrumental version, available from:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/starman-feat.-electric-youth/id591371630
http://shop.paperbagrecords.com/products/starman-single

Co-written and co-performed with Electric Youth.

Written by Mario Pak/Johan Agebjörn/Austin Garrick
Produced by Johan Agebjörn, co-produced by Mario Pak
Additional vocals by Bronwyn Griffin of Electric Youth

"Swedish synth-pop princess Sally Shapiro has shared another gorgeous track with us. The second single from her upcoming album Somewhere Else is called "Starman" which features Canadian pop duo Electric Youth.  Together they’ve created a wonderful bubbling indie pop track featuring Sally Shapiro’s trademark disco likings and whimsical vocals."
Prefix Magazine

"Mixing ultra-girly harmonies reminicent of a Molly Ringwald movie with a dose of trippy new-age synth, Shapiro’s music is our go-to when needing to blow off steam and dance around our bedroom. Download our premiere of the radio edit for her latest single “Starman” feat. Electric Youth above and just try to stay seated…"
NYLON

"The song is an electronic triggered jaunt down the disco. Purposefully detached vocals somehow enforce an overwhelming warmth into the song, and you’re left with the comforting feeling that you’ll never dance alone again. How does she do it? How?!"
Scandipop

"Starman is a particularly deep and dreamy slick of these guys ScandiPop. Sally is at her hushed-Saint-Etienne best, and being backed by the vintage tones of Electric Youth’s Bronwyn, cast a beautiful vocal net. A totally compelling voice in electronic music, Sally has found the perfect music partner in Johan, who knows exactly how to deliver sweeping, passionate synth music, with a subtle 60s twist, that suits her just right. Cannot wait for the album."
Electronic Rumours

"Evidently both duos’ styles were synth made for each other and this is quite the reason why the track can elevate itself to such a level of accomplished sophistication."
EQ Music Blog

"Starman may or may not be a Swedish nod to John Carpenter's movie of the same name, but in any case, it's lovely, fun, and possibly the best song on the album."

SINGLE – MARCH 11TH

“Colourful, exuberant and, crucially, dynamite on the dance-floor” - Q

“Not just another standard house producer” - Mixmag

“One of house music’s brightest, chirpiest and talented DJ/producers” - Data Transmission

Maverick DJ/producer Riva Starr burst on to the house music scene in 2009, impressing a wide variety of fans with his cheeky productions and remixes which straddled genres, tempos and geographical inspirations. Now the man born Stefano Miele is pleased to announce the release of ‘Absence’, the first single from his forthcoming sophomore album ‘Hand in Hand’.

‘Absence’ shows off Riva Starr’s indie background and is probably his most mature work to date. Mixed by Ash Workmann of Metronomy fame, this quirky love song features vocals by ex-The Research singer Russell Searle. Initially drafted in with the sole intention of penning a few top-lines, his quirky infectious interpretation soon conquered all, and so RSSLL came to be.

The video for ‘Absence’ comes from Milan-based director Virgilio Villoresi, an award winning “artisan” filmmaker whose bizarre influences (from Polish animators to US underground arts) are clearly reflected in the intriguing final product.

Throughout 2012, Riva Starr graced venues such as Manchester’s Warehouse Project, Watergate (Berlin), ElRow (Barcelona) as well as hosting his “Snatch! Records” tent at Creamfields and Tomorrowland. Check him out on the 15th of February at a rare Fabric appearance.

With the release of ‘Hand In Hand’ this summer, 2013 is set to be an even bigger year for Riva – watch this space…

"On "Sundown", one of the finest tracks from her new record Somewhere Else, Shapiro and her collaborators showcase newfound artistic breadth by taking familiar sounds and textures, subjecting them to a subtle reconfiguration. Johan Agebjörn and Roger Gunnarsson take a handful of Italo disco trademarks-- glossy synths, airtight electronic percussion, garish, sparkly effects-- and apply them to a slow-paced ballad where Shapiro delivers a dreamy, fragile vocal performance. The final touch is a sublime sax solo reminiscent of Destroyer's magnificently louche Kaputt, and the result is bluish, bruised-heart pop that lingers long after it's finished." Pitchfork

"Sundown, which was produced by Johan Agebjörn is an energetic ballad that Shapiro adorably coos all over...racked with the sweetness you come to expect from Shapiro" Stereogum

"Great work as always. I love the track."

Painted Faces ft Tinashe

Download this from http://chaptermusic.bandcamp.com/album/beaches-she-beats

From second album She Beats, out on Chapter Music 3 May 2013.

Sprawling Melbourne psych-rock fivepiece Beaches return with second album She Beats.
Their self-titled debut emerged on Mistletone Records in 2008, making the Australian Music Prize shortlist for that year and featuring in 2010 book 100 Best Australian Albums. In the intervening years, the band have toured the US twice, played All Tomorrow’s Parties at the invitation of Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, released an EP for NYC label Mexican Summer, shared stages with the likes of Roky Erickson, Deerhunter and Wooden Shjips, and even celebrated the birth of beautiful twin daughters to guitarist Alison Bolger.

But a second album was always on the cards. For She Beats, Beaches have once again joined forces with producer Jack Farley (Twerps, Scott & Charlenes Wedding). And like its predecessor, the album reflects a love for 60s pop, 70s psych, shoe-gaze, prog, southern boogie and Krautrock. But She Beats is bigger, bolder and more ambitious than the debut.

For one thing, German guitar icon Michael Rother of Neu/Harmonia features on two tracks. The band formed a bond with Rother at ATP in Melbourne in 2009, and he invited himself along to their recording sessions during his next Oz tour in 2012. One of these tracks, the cascading sonic swirl Distance, was premiered in March on Gorilla Vs Bear and has already had more than 30k Soundcloud plays.

￼Elsewhere, Veda sees the band extending hypnotically Eastward, while droning cello scrapes introduce Tanzanite. On the other end of the spectrum, tracks like Send Them Away, Out Of Mind and Runaway are upfront, glorious pop, though still heady with Beaches’ dreamy guitar heroics. All up, She Beats is rich, confident and layered, a multi-dimensional sonic world to get lost in over and over again.

Beaches are Antonia Sellbach (guitar/vocals), Alison Bolger (guitar/vocals), Ali McCann (guitar/vocals), Gill Tucker (bass/vocals) and Karla Way (drums/vocals).

“The five-piece can make a racket, no doubt, but Beaches are far from reckless, as the band delivered tightly constructed, densely layered and intricately detailed songs, all of them packing riffs the size of glaciers” - LA Times

“If the Melbourne, Australia-based all-girl rock group Beaches were based in, say, Brooklyn, you would probably have heard about them by now” - Pitchfork
