Electronic goth or how would you call this?
Ad Inferna will release a new album on CD & digital format the 7th of January on DSM Music.
The beauty of Waves On Canvas is almost impossible to describe, but this is surely something that all fans of early 4AD would die for.
Part ethereal, part piano music, part soundscape, Into the Northsea is simply a stunning and sprawling record, with enough dimension to it to warrant multiple listens and a list of guest appearances (This Mortal Coil's Louise Rutkowski and Pieter Nooten from Clan of Xymox to name two) that we're happy to say do not disappoint.
The pre-release single that Psychonavigation let loose for Angel was sublime enough to convince us that Waves on Canvas is a project to watch, and the rest of the album follows suit perfectly.
Anyone who loved thrillers like The Others or The Innocents will surely like the debut by Nick Murphy about people who are traumatized by the terrors of the first World War. They seek hope in the occult things of life.
This movie will be in the theatres from 10th January on and after that, it'll be released by Filmfreaks.
Director Gus Van Sant’s New Movie ‘Promised Land’ Features Songs by The Milk Carton Kids
The Milk Carton Kids, the singer/songwriter duo recently signed by Anti-, has three of their songs featured prominently in the new Gus Van Sant-directed drama Promised Land, which is written by and stars Matt Damon and John Krasinski.
The film features The Milk Carton Kids’ songs "The Ash & Clay" and "Jewel of June" as well as their ballad "Snake Eyes," which plays during a key montage sequence. As band member Kenneth Pattengale explains, "That song ["Snake Eyes"] draws heavily on the themes Gus is exploring, most directly on a sense of nostalgia, which has this wonderfully complex duality to it: at once we revel fondly in the past yet mourn with sadness that it’s gone."
Van Sant first heard the Los Angeles-based duo of Pattengale and Joey Ryan when they performed in his hometown of Portland, Oregon. The twice-Academy Award-nominated director made a similar musical discovery for his 1997 film Good Will Hunting, fusing the songs of songwriter/musician Elliott Smith with a screenplay co-written by star Damon. Smith went on to receive an Oscar nomination for his song "Miss Misery."
The Milk Carton Kids’ style has been described by The New York Times as "a sweetly dazzling variation on close-harmony vocals, part Simon and Garfunkel and part Everly Brothers, with occasional acoustic prestidigitation." NPR called it "gorgeous contemporary folk." While the duo’s most obvious musical reference is the classic folk revival sound of twin acoustic guitars and close harmonies, the band both expands upon and contradicts that rich legacy, creating a sound that is both familiar and beautifully original.
Promised Land, featuring the songs of The Milk Carton Kids, will be released early 2013 in United Kingdom and the mainland Europe.
Quick on the heels of their recently released acoustic EP "Marrow 1", US-based electronic-rock quartet I:Scintilla have a follow-up ready with their brand new digital single "Skin Tight". The track is an electro based track which is available in its normal edit and 2 remixes by The Luna Sequence and Psy'Aviah.
For the audiophiles, the Alfa Matrix Bandcamp page offers this release as an immediate download in your choice of MP3 320, FLAC, or just about any other format you could possibly desire. And this for just 1,99 EURO.
