Catalog #:	LOAF 005CD

Series of CDR releases on this new Lo Recordings subsidiary label. "Doubleclick Countryside is a sprawling journey through bouncy pop, brooding jazz, Eastern scales, '50s lounge music, bhangra, Philly soul, contemporary folk and classical music. Yet it is also a small record. Each song lives and breathes in its own little world. Barbed are Alex and Alex, previously responsible for the 'plunderphonic' classic Barbed released on the legendary These label way back in 1994. Veterans of stupidly long concerts with the likes of Negativland, People Like Us and the Tape Beatles, they went on to join an embryonic Add N to X, provide the soundtrack for Joram ten Brink's arthouse classic The Man Who Couldn't Feel and supply material for numerous compilations, live records and remixes. But they yearned to make a different kind of music, one that was at the same time familiar and yet alien, pop fluff with hidden spikes -- Barbed, as it were. And this is it -- Doubleclick Countryside."

"EP2 is Vincent Oliver's second in a series of releases for Loaf Records." Although unnannouced, the music contained here is throwaway electronic pop, pressed on a CDR. The official description bravely references R. Stevie Moore, a possible first: "A contender for the title 'Poster Boy of Electronica', Vincent has worked with the likes of Nathan Fake, MFA and The Chap but his own music has a more quirky edge to it, a mix between Arab Strap's dark lyrics, My Bloody Valentine's soaked guitars and R. Stevie Moore's pop sensibility."
