Ásgeir - Going Home (Montmartre & Fever 105 Rework)

As an accomplished 12-string guitarist/composer, Alexander Turnquist was naturally alarmed when the ulnar nerve in his left hand seized up in 2013, but after a surgical procedure he gratefully started the process of learning to play guitar again. His recovery was cut short when not long after the surgery he was hospitalized with meningitis. Though his recovery is ongoing, and he continues to struggle with a weakened immune system and memory loss, he was inspired to soldier on, rather than being deterred by his physical struggles. 

Turnquist's latest full-length Flying Fantasy confirms the idea that out of great hardship can come great art. As he wrote the material for the new album it became clear that his sensitivity had sharpened, his empathy magnified, and his sense of purpose blossomed. The unfortunate circumstances he endured ostensibly forced his metamorphosis from a remarkable guitar player to a truly great composer. Much like the butterflies that adorn the album cover, he seems to have changed form and taken flight. 

The album opens with the sparse harmonics of "House of Insomniacs", which are soon joined by lush swells of vibes, cello, and even wordless vocals. On the tracks that follow, Turnquist continues to make use of this dynamic sonic pallet, even adding organ, piano, marimba, steel drums, violin, and french horn to the mix. From "Red Carousel", which was inspired by Ray Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes, to the somber lilt of the love song "Wildflower", to the truly arresting title track "Flying Fantasy" which uses only 4 open strummed guitars and loops of damaged tape and wire recorders, every note of Flying Fantasy vibrates with life as Turnquist ushers us though his intoxicatingly colorful worlds of sound.

‘Stormurinn’ is taken from Ásgeir’s ‘In The Silence – Deluxe Edition’ released via One Little Indian on the 24th November.
 
Recorded back in 2012 for the original Icelandic album, ‘Dyrd í dauðathogn’, ‘Stormurinn’ was removed from the track list at the last moment in favour of ‘Að grafa sig í fönn’ (‘Head In The Snow’).
 
The 3 CD ‘Deluxe Edition’ comprises the original 2012 Icelandic version, ‘Dyrd í dauðathogn’ – the album that made him Ásgeir a folk hero back home – plus the English-language version, ‘In The Silence’ and a 3rd CD of rarities and previously unheard material including remixes from Liam Howe (FKA Twigs, Lana Del Ray, Foxes) & Dot Major (London Grammar).

Yesterday Was Hard On All Of Us

Yesterday Was Hard On All Of Us (Radio Edit)

Lars Trier and Lars Graugaard performed duo flute and guitar 1981-95, recording two albums of mostly 20th century repertoire. Lars Trier was part of the Danish socialist artist collective Røde Mor (Red Mother) but has had a significant career as a Danish classical guitarist of international standing. Flautist and composer Lars Graugaard later became involved in techno and electronica, but he was very active in improvised styles while also performing classical repertoire for his instrument, such as on the present album.

She Keeps Bees - "Release" - 4.24.12

See Me

Senior is the introverted, dwelling and sometimes graceful counterpart to last year's Junior: brim-full with dark secrets and distorted memories, insisting I'm old, I've got experience... Senior  is furthermore an album about age, horses and being subdued, with devils breathing down your neck. Each track is equally as important as its predecessor and successor. We feel that none of the tracks should be regarded outside of this context. Quite a "brave"/stupid thing to do in this day & age of iPods and cherrypicking, one might suggest. We couldn't agree more - hell that's even probably why we did it.

Senior Living

Recorded on October 31st, 2011 at West Country Girl crêperie, Paris. This record is a collaborative first for She Keeps Bees, featuring cellist Gaspar Claus on both songs along with Stephane Milochevitch & Emma Broughton on a midnight cover of Blue Moon. 
The physical record will be limited to 300 mixed-color vinyl packaged in random vintage record sleeves, available from the band while they're on tour this fall.

/// YoggyOne /// Memory feat. Taha Aitabi ///

“Early spring of 2005 I was teaching myself piano. This song was a meditation on a dream I had the night before. The lyrics were a stream of consciousness to try and shake a sadness over a stagnant place I’d let myself wallow in for too long. Recorded on a four-track in my living room, you can hear the windows are open—buses, kids playing outside and car horns. The main difference between my songwriting now and this time period is having a complete support system in Andy. He really gave me confidence. We grew together in our musicianship. I am forever grateful for how we continue to teach each other.”—Jessica Larrabee

Blackout (2005 Demo)

Wild 8-bit bleeps and sharp synths introduce the wonderfully bouncy beats of 'Arcade Love', Fran's first single of her debut solo album 'Frantastic', which describes a feeling most of us are all too familiar with: you enter a room and your eyes lock with a perfect stranger. The electrifying moment feels like an eternity, charged by a feeling of intense desire… until it suddenly passes. 
Oliver Koletzki then delivers his own interpretation of 'Arcade Love', adding an extra portion of eletronic funk by incorporating more synths and effects while keeping the original's structure intact. The climax? An indulgently cowbell-driven break leading into the final chorus. 
Giving way to a softly pulsating beat, Oliver's remix flows into the beautifully rounded ‘Zen Dance’, on which Fran’s sweet voice simply bedazzles the listener as she presents her views on the often mindlessly celebrated hedonism prevalent in dance music culture.
This is a dazzling representation of all that 'Frantastic' stands for: a stunning, singular DIY-vision, brimming with the wonderful versatility of Fran's musical mind.

Lyrics:

What would you do
If it all came back to you
Each crest of each wave
Bright as lightning
What would you say
If you had to leave today
Leave everything behind
Even though for once you're shining

Standing on higher ground
But when you hear the sounds
You realise it's just a whim (/the wind)
And you notice it matters
Who and what you let under your skin

If put to the test
Would you step back from the line of fire
Hold everything back
All emotions and desires

Convince yourself to be someone else
And hold back from the world
Your lack of confidence
What you choose to believe in
Dictates your rise or your fall

With no one else around you
No one to understand you
No one to hear your calls
Look through all your dark corners
When you're backed up against the wall
Step back from the line of fire

I'd do the same as you would
Would do the same as you
Step back from the line of fire
