Jan Johansson - Visa fr°aèn Utanmyra

Through signs that never arrive and streetlights that refuse to shine, light makes its way through broken streets and fading echoes. Veins of neon pulse in the shadows, fragile but enduring, while the mechanisms of silence turn ceaselessly. In this fragile geometry, illumination emerges not as brilliance, but as presence, gently carried, born of a silent persistence.

Saxophonist and composer Joseph Shabason’s debut Aytche builds a bridge off of the precipice his forbears established, skirting jazz, ambient, and even new age with the same deliberate genre-ambiguity that made their work so interesting.

Aytche is a document of exploration both inward and outward. Every step taken in sound-design mirrors a stride in emotionality, as Shabason employs a variety of effect pedals to coax rich moody textures from his instrument.  He explains, "I feel like robbing the sax of the ability to shred by effecting it and turning it into a dense chordal instrument really helps the instrument become something that it's not usually known for."  Aytche deals with themes of degenerative illness and assisted suicide with eloquence that instrumental music rarely achieves regarding any subject, much less such difficult ones.

Album highlight “Westmeath” approaches Aytche’s subject of inspiration head-on. Here, the album’s only verbalization appears in the form of an interview with a man discussing his father’s trauma and eventual suicide after surviving the holocaust.  Though we only hear a few obscured words and phrases from the interview, the impact is powerful.  For Shabason, whose grandparents survived the holocaust, this selection is anything but frivolous.

Jefre Cantu-Ledesma - Joy

The Deer Tracks, is David Lehnberg & Elin Lindfors from a small village in the Swedish countryside. Their critically acclaimed 2008 debut album, "Aurora", received stellar reviews from NME, The Guardian, Clash Magazine, The Fly and dozens more influential magazines and blogs across Europe.

The band then reached an even larger audience with a full song placement in the hit show Grey's Anatomy. Managed by Scott Cohen (The Orchard founder and manager of The Raveonettes and the Dum Dum Girls) and booked by superstar agency ITB.

The Deer Tracks have already toured the UK, Europe and Japan since the original release.
The band is now set to release their epic trilogy in near future.

Braids - Amends

David Lehnberg & Elin Lindfors are the only two constant pieces in the always evolving puzzle of The Deer Tracks. These two versatile multi-instrumentalists and singers, handle everything from writing to recording to production. 

They are actively touring US, Canada, Japan & Europe relentlessly since 2008. 

The Deer Tracks display their signature schizophrenia as best on their latest record trilogy: The Archer Trilogy (PT.1, 2 & 3) 

Their songs often stride fearlessly into the forest primeval armed with their "Northern Light Electronica" that is best described as a complexed mixure of stuttering beats and rattling arsenal of percussion over a steady beat, likely accompanied by beautiful string arrangements, soaring synths and Elin's ethereal voice to top it off.  Somehow they blend them all together with other natural found sounds and deliberately lo-fi digital artifacts that adds bristles and grit to their relentless melodies.
