CONQUERING ANIMAL SOUND
Title:
Kammerspiel
Label:
GIZEH RECORDS (UK)
Format:
CD
Price:
$15.50
Catalog #:
GZH 027CD
Conquering Animal Sound
hail from Glasgow, Scotland (having recently departed their home in Edinburgh) and comprise of
Anneke Kampman
and
James Scott
. This is their debut full-length album for Gizeh Records. The duo formed in 2009 and were soon making waves in the fine city of Edinburgh. A host of labels came knocking and subsequently a split 7" single (featuring the song "Giant") with Debutant was released via Gerry Loves Records in May 2010 and agreements were put in place with Gizeh and mini50 Records to release
Kammerspiel
. Live, the duo perform the majority of what you hear on record -- it is something of awe-inspiring greatness, creating loops, beats and samples out of anything and everything with Anneke's sumptuous vocals carrying the sounds to what seems like a new world. In 2010, Conquering Animal Sound took to the road for their first UK tour, performed at Wickerman Festival (Scotland), De Affaire (Netherlands) and played shows with the likes of
Tunng
and
Zola Jesus
.
Kammerspiel
is essentially pop music, but in the way the likes of
Fever Ray
or
Björk
portray pop music. Where Conquering Animal Sound differ is in their love for tape-hiss and children's toys. There is no doubt, with this record they are in a world of their own.

SLEEPINGDOG
Title:
With Our Heads In The Clouds And Our Hearts In The Fields
Label:
GIZEH RECORDS (UK)
Format:
CD
Price:
$15.50
Catalog #:
GZH 031CD
This is
Sleepingdog
's third album after
Naked In A Clean Bed
and the critically-acclaimed
Polar Life
. Once upon a time in the days of the Belgian Franc,
Chantal Acda
made the acquaintance
Adam Bryanbaum Wiltzie
, and the two became fast friends through a mutual love of disco bowling, and 1970s Danish scary movies. They first collaborated on vocals on the infamous last track "The Struggle" on Mr. Wiltzie's 2004
The Dead Texan
. Now, over the course of 10 years, this strange friendship has slowly developed into a musical collaboration which at this point is a rarity for Mr. Wiltzie, because of his notorious slow-burning output for his legendary project
Stars Of The Lid
. For
With Our Heads In The Clouds And Our Hearts In The Fields
, these two have somehow gone back in time to capture the sound of glacial-moving, dark cough syrup pop music. Mr. Wiltzie has manipulated his trademark haunting ambience, deconstructing and funneling it through the beautiful voice and song compositions of Chantal Acda. Together, Sleepingdog have gently abducted these gaseous tones and choruses of Pacific tree frogs into some beautifully-crafted, melancholic orchestration that reminds us all that we exist in a world of strangers, drifting only two feet apart.

Catalog #:
GZH 035CD
FareWell Poetry
is a collective of Parisian musicians and an Anglo-Saxon poet and filmmaker. From indie to modern classical to drone and shoegaze, spoken word and experimental film, FareWell Poetry represents the pooled influences of its core members and passionate collaborators. The band's richly-arranged songs seek out subtle and luminous climaxes, the hypnotically simple melodies falling away like scaffolding to reveal a complex structure narrated by a haunted voice drumming out a dark poetry, echoes from a deep well. Performing in festivals, movie theaters, concert halls, churches and collaborating with a wide range of guests such as
Bérangère Maximin
,
Gaspar Claus
,
David Moore
,
David Fenech
, this ambitious project combines incandescent and powerful drama, orchestrated minimalism, experimental film, dark sensuality and luminous poetry.
Hoping For The Invisible To Ignite
was recorded and mixed between Paris, Normandy (FR) and Saint-Margaret of Antioch Church in Leeds (UK). These four haunting, orchestral pieces were performed in the studio live, and re-recorded using a "wall of sound" process, adding the natural reverb of the church to the raw tracks. The DVD includes the Super 8/16mm black&white film
As True As Troilus
by
Jayne Amara Ross
and a bonus live performance shot by
Alain Grodard
and
Rod Maurice
during the "Festival des Nouveaux Arts Sacres" at Saint-Eustache Church in Paris. Somewhere between a sleep-starved
Man Ray
, the visual performances of
Throbbing Gristle
or
The Velvet Underground
, FareWell Poetry exudes a creativity inspired by a state of trance and seeks new boundaries to push back, new doors to open. European PAL format, region free; 40 minutes, stereo.

Title:
The Rustle Of The Stars
Label:

Format:
CD
Price:
$17.00
Catalog #:
GZH 036CD
A music related concept by
Richard Knox
and
Frédéric D. Oberland
. 450 km from the Arctic Circle,
The Rustle Of The Stars
is a phenomenon of austere beauty, a barely audible noise that occurs when the draught from human breath causes multiple collisions among the ice micro-crystals in the air. Some words from Richard & Frederic: "We met on tour when performing in Europe with our respective bands
Glissando
and
FareWell Poetry
. We had beautiful times, drinking and talking our common grounds while some simple ideas formed in our minds: to compose an album together. To imagine a musical passage through the North Pole explorer diaries. To ask some people and some friends to participate. To record the project in a church. To act quickly. We began to work at our homes in November 2010, in Paris (FR) and in Leeds (UK), with electric guitars, a bunch of pedals, piano, dulcimer, organ, crystal glasses, bows and field recordings, sending and adding ideas together to the tracks, trying to find a global organic sound. We met in Leeds two months later at the beginning of 2011 to record in the St. Margaret of Antioch Church, using a 'wall of sound' process in some of the tracks and arranging/recording the string parts you will hear in the music. We would like to think of this album as a polar journey to the ends of the earth through the Arctic Sea. We kept in mind the first polar expeditions,
Edgar Allan Poe
's 'Dream-Land,' the ships trapped or crushed by ice, the point of no return, the minds sinking, the attempt on the Pole ending in disaster, the quest of the Northwest Passage, Erebus & Terror, the Mercy Bay, Mangazeya,
Charles Francis Hall
, Beechey Island, the midnight sun and the polar night."

A-Sun Amissa
is a new project formed out of Leeds, UK by members of
Glissando
. Built on the foundations of the unknown, this is a project that encompasses minimalist drones, modern-classical movements and avant-garde tendencies.
Richard Knox
(Glissando,
Of Thread & Mist
,
The Rustle Of The Stars
) &
Angela Chan
(Glissando,
Ten
, The Rustle Of The Stars,
Tomorrow We Sail
) began forming the initial ideas in the Autumn of 2011, moving away from the piano-led ambience of previous outputs. Long-time friend
Owen Pegg
was soon invited to join the project as the pieces developed to enable the songs the depth and intensity they required. The trio produce a dense, drone-like atmosphere accompanying evocative, melodic string sections and intertwining guitars. The live show features sections of the recorded output combined with improvisation to unlock new movements and progressions in the music. The subtle, considered textures and the hypnotic interaction between players and instruments provide an absorbing and intense live performance. October 2011 saw the first recorded output in the form of a 3" CD release as part of Hibernate Recordings' acclaimed "postcard" series. The release
Beneath The Heavy Tides
featured two tracks and serves as a prelude to
Desperate In Her Heavy Sleep
.
