Shorties...

Find information on how to pre-order the forthcoming Ether Aura album Watercolor Ghost Town. $12 seems like s a fairly reasonable price.

Danish New Order/Joy Division inspired indie rock trio Demons Are Real will release a 5 track EP named The Blessing Of Sorrow on February 2nd. They’ve previously promised that a new release would include more “evil sounding” guitars, so it will be quite interesting to hear if the band has moved in completely different direction. All 6 tracks of the band’s previous (and absolutely terrific) EP Hum Speed On/Off are free to download at BandBase.

Sudd mixtape vol. 2...

In the inbox this morning I found the following message from the generous Swedish independent label Sudd:
"Finally, Sudd's largest project this autumn is released. Sudd has a new double-disc mixtape posted for free download. Disc #1 is dance music, #2 is all 8bit pop. Sudd mixtape vol. 2 is pure nintendo happiness mixed with electro pulse."
I've just downloaded all 18 tracks and expect to spend a few entertaining hours listening my way through all songs and mixes. Why don't you do the same?

And speaking of Sudd. Does anyone remember this fantastic collaboration between Fujasaki and Björn Kleinhenz that I wrote about in December 2005?
