ew 019 JULLANDER
John Symmes' Welt (cd)
Postrock is elsewhere, because if someone rocks, it is Jullander. But they do it with elegance, dignity and devotion and in doing so they pick up the thread that was all to often lost in aesthetic arts and crafts. In their best moments they reach, in an interplay between dissonance, beauty and mean frequencies, an emotional intensity that takes one s breath away. Beautiful music that is perfectly aware of itself.
Vinyl version of this album is released on BEAU RIVAGE

JULLANDER
John Symmes' Welt (cd)
After a couple of 7" and one 10", Jullander finally arrive to a full length.
Musically, “John Symmes’ Welt” consists of four equal, but distinct voices that complement each other and yet allow each other to be heard. You can sense that the people here have made an agreement and set off on a common path.
With two guitars, a bass and drums, Jochen Brandt, Arne Kittler, Andi Schoon and Jens-Rainer Berg conceive and mold their songs, with occasional support on saxophone by Philip Andernach.
Jullander play beautiful music that is perfectly aware of itself.
Their calmer pieces with strange melody lines can remind you sometimes on Dianogah or Couch, others, somewhat bulkyer brings to mind June of 44 or Paul Newman, but don't even think that this is enough to describe their sound.
Their sound is really their own - unique melodies, stylish singing, jazz skillfulness and pop qualities you shouldn't miss.

ew 018 UZRUJAN
...thirteen days forth and thirteen back... (cd)
OK, we will use reviews this time:
"Band who shares same approach to music as Gastr Del Sol, Brise Glace, Storm and Stress, even U.S.Maple & Dutch Harbor/Boxhead Ensemble... If you like here mentioned bands it is not clever to miss UZRUJAN...Members of this band use various instruments & samples to ride their soundscapes..." "Their music has more similarities with avantguard music from 1st half of the century then with contemporary rock music." "Uzrujan is neither modern neither oldfashioned, Uzrujan is simply and absolutly CONTEMPORARY". "Post jazz chamber music".
To put it in two words - great music.
Nice cardboard packaging...
Split release w/ WALLACE and FREELAND records
 

ew 017 A SHORT APNEA
Illu ogod ellat rhagedia (Ustrainhustri) (cd)
There is one thing we are really sure of - A Short Apnea`s 2nd album, "Illu ogod ellat rhagedia (Ustrainhustri)", opens wide and important perspectives for the future of expression in rock music.
This veterans of Italian music scene (active in numerous bands and projects since early `80) are promising to become a point of reference for all those who attend to find a band so ahead of their time and in the same time hard rooted in their native (italian) ground.
Just as a rough reference - their music releatives could be This Heat, Storm and Stress, Gastr Del Sol, and many other groundbreakers... Cardboard box and many great things inside.
Released in Italy by WALLACE

ew 015 SICBAY
Fort Busy Signal (mcd)
You thought that after Collosamite Nick Sakes is going to retire, think again!
Here is new odissy of Nick Sakes (guitarist & vocalist of Colossamite, Dazzling Killmen...), Ed Rodriguez (Colossamite, Gorge Trio, Iceburn Collective..., playing drums this time), Dave Erb on bass guitar.
Sicbay is heading to new adventures in rock music. More rock then previous bands you know this guys from, more blues, less fucked up more enjoyable. Well, maybe i`m wrong. You should check it anyhow. We like to think that you will enjoy this cd without any prejudice and in huge amounts. Cardboard and nice paintings, yes!
