The Norwegian-born, Berlin-based duo Soft as Snow will release their debut album ‘Deep Wave’ on April 6th. It was created by Soft as Snow members Oda Egjar Starheim and Øystein Monsen, with additional mixing and production by WIFE of Tri Angle Records.

4/5 - MOJO
8/10 - Loud & Quiet


Their oblique leftfield pop recalls Cabaret Voltaire, Throbbing Gristle, deep Detroit techno, 90s IDM, Fever Ray, cold wave and the ‘Mutazione’ compilations, but is simultaneously fresh, original and groundbreaking, crowned with Oda’s esoteric and otherworldly voice.

“We’ve been experimenting with arrangements and production. The sound is rawer, more experimental and noisy”, explain the duo. “What maybe differs most from the other releases is that we decided to keep a lot of recordings from the initial jams. Several of the tracks are more or less kept in the original form.”

Eric Copeland - Rip It

'Pony Ride' is the debut release from the London-based Sino-Greek psychedelic drone combo ELEPHANT HOUSE. It features digital drums and vocals from Shenggy Shen and melancholic synthesisers and guitars from Christos Fanaras. The track Shuidiao Getou is a cover of a traditional Chinese folk melody accompanying the Ci poem 'Prelude to the Water Melody' by Su Shi. The other track titles on 'Pony Ride' reference the traditional Mongolian coaxing rituals used to encourage female camels into accepting new-born calves. Coincidentally the duo are named after the cafe in Edinburgh that is the birth place of the Harry Potter series.

‘Deep Wave’ follows two EPs for the same label - and as with those, the duo still avoid laptops, preferring analogue machinery, samplers, live drums and processed guitars - but this album marks a creative development, with their sound now deeper, more detailed and less simplistic than before.

Soft as Snow - Pink Rushes ('rRoxymore' Deep Bed rRemix)

Birds for the Mind is at last back on track and it's first offering after the hiatus is brought to by Mauritius Hermes aka Neugeborene Nachtmusik - a Dutch, Berlin based musician and selector. He's also part of the duo Milligram Retreat and now and then plays more acid and danceable sets under the moniker Saint Mauritius. 

The sound of his main project Neugeborene Nachtmusik is mostly inspired by the post-apocalyptic, ritualistic and utopian scenes or deeply personal experiences. His music has a cinematic approach; imaginary scenes that contain: utopia, daydreams, occultism, honor and hope, battlefields just after the battle. Some other significant sources of inspiration for Hermes's music is minimalism, ambient music and performance art. Not long ago, together with Jeroen Holthuis (Onont Kombar) Mauritius  started a label called 'Ordo Viatorum'.

These two beautiful and slow-burning hours Mauritius recorded for Birds for the Mind dwelve in the depths of a dark imagination - patiently diving deep down and  drippingly crawling back up. A true lonely and night listen, the mix was named by the author himself "Paradise Ascent". This is some newborn night music for you - this is Neugeborene Nachtmusik's ascent to paradise.
