A boiling kettle...

Not sure what to make of the new Korallreven single Sa Sa Samoa. It will probably works fine as part of the band's soon to be released debut album, but as a standalone track it just doesn’t. Or what does anyone think?

Thank you Mr. Villumsen for introducing me to Blind Pilot. How on earth did I miss out on this band?

Have listened to the forthcoming Balloon Magic debut EP a couple of times this morning. Do I need to say that it sounds absolutely fantastic?

New interesting Danish band on my radar is Den Fjerde Væg. Singing in Danish and describing their music as mix of Animal Collective and XTC. The three track debut EP Glittertårer is available for free via bandcamp.

Ordered this cool t-shirt the other day. My old Cause & Effect t-shirt has been in the washing machine a few too many times, so it was definitely time to buy a new one!

Next release on Shelflife Records will be/should be the debut EP from Balloon Magic. A perfect match if you ask me (you didn’t…I know), as this band has Sarah Records written all over it. 2 brilliant new recordings are available via SoundCloud and 3 older demo tracks can still be found at BandBase.

Don’t know who was responsible, but someone at Facebook posted a link to yesterday’s Amanda Mair post, thus directing loads of traffic this way. Thank you…however you are! To those of you, who still haven’t been introduced to the young lady, I strongly urge you check out the live performance I posted yesterday. If that’s too much of an effort for you, hopefully right clicking the link below and downloading her first single isn’t?

New track Pocahontas by The William Blakes is now streaming at Myspace. The band’s third album The Way Of The Warrior is out September 13.

Balloon Magic...

Balloon Magic is a quartet of youngsters hailing from Funen and until this morning the band was completely unknown to me. But a friendly soul was so kind to make me aware of the band’s existence, and for that I’m incredibly grateful. It’s always refreshing when Danish bands seek more untraditional sources of inspiration, and the ones listing The Field Mice and Television among the influences are pretty rare. And those bands are indeed listed for a good reason. I Remember It All, the noisiest of the 3 demo tracks available, owes a lot, if not everything, to Marquee Moon, while the instantly likeable Blue Dawn sounds like one of those catchy indie pop tunes that Sarah Records released 15-20 years ago. Obviously these are still demos and, despite my sparse knowledge regarding the production side of things, there’s still plenty of work left both musically and vocally (especially). But at the same time the 3 tracks reveal a band with lots and lots of potential and the capability of writing fascinating songs, and therefore one can only hope (beg if you like) that the band members will give Balloon Magic their full attention (I've seen too many bands splitting up, before reaching one-tenth of their potential), as I’m already looking forward to hearing more from these lads.
