SGR 029EP
|
Swedish trio DNKL's debut song "Hunt" was hailed as a "bleary eyed, 4am triumph" by DIY Magazine and featured by The Guardian. Its follow-up "Battles" was met with similar praise: The FADER described it as the "best-of-both-worlds bridging M83's earlier synth work and later rock styling." Since then the band has performed at the Roskilde Festival, Way Out West, and Berlin Music Week. Sugarcane Recordings now presents DNKL's debut 12", Wolfhour EP. Featuring "Battles" and "Hunt" alongside two stunning new tracks and live favorites, "Wolfhour" and "Warm Dark Night," Wolfhour EP shows just how far the band has come.

Includes several projects by acclaimed Finnish musician Jori Hulkkonen, who was nominated for an Emma award for his Sin Cos Tan project.

Icelandic band Bloodgroup have had their powerfully crafted brand of electronic music playing on Sugarcane Recordings' stereo on repeat ever since the release of the Tracing Echoes (SGR 021CD) album. Earmilk (Canada) claims, "The Icelandic foursome cut icy melodies through the steam ... With its delicate vocals and gemmed synths, (it) strikes closer to early Knife or Zola Jesus than Depeche Mode. Bloodgroup rips up the mold, equal parts muscle and machine, concocting a mixture that's just as addictive as anything from Dave Gahan and company." Remixes by Com Truise, Girl Unit, Keep Shelly In Athens, and Renaissance Man.

Hot on the heels of their critically-acclaimed debut in 2012, Sin Cos Tan has kept busy recording their sublime follow-up, Afterlife. Doused in both color and darkness, Afterlife sees the Sin Cos Tan duo of musical omnipresence Jori Hulkkonen and singer-songwriter Juho Paalosmaa of Villa Nah plunging head-long into a netherworld of electro-pop. The follow-up offers a slightly different angle on the genre, adding variety, organic elements and a more thematically profound approach than the debut. Hearts are broken, spirits awoken -- and even Casey Spooner of Fischerspooner makes an appearance.

John Foxx and Jori Hulkkonen have collaborated on a new EP, featuring four brand-new songs, two remixes by film-director David Lynch and a radio edit of the exquisite lead track "Evangeline." The other songs -- "Strictly," "Something Is Coming Down the Avenues," and "Can't See You Anymore" -- are as dream-like and strange as anything in either artist's catalog. For Foxx, the closest reference would be his 1981 album, The Garden but the surrealist feel of the new material is more displaced and dislocated. There's a strong sense of melancholy, loss, destruction, and also romance. Perfect material for David Lynch to reinterpret and re-imagine, quietly stretching out "Evangeline" with the sound of surf, a drum machine heartbeat and the twang of a '50s guitar. It's a beautiful, evocative remix and a shimmering instrumental version. Foxx, who wrote all the lyrics, describes the EP as a "Lynchian love story set against the background of a convulsed Europe -- where New York is the capital of France, Rome has moved to Manhattan and declared itself a republic, and new neon Blackpool has outstripped Las Vegas and London as the playground of Sino-Russian oligarchs." Adding to the sense of mystery, Foxx goes on to say: "It's based in a Eurozone where dark forces insinuate the cafes, alleyways and, penthouses." The artwork is by Bowie collaborator Jonathan Barnbrook, with the cover featuring a new sculpture by Foxx. Film icon remixes. Musician sculpts. Hulkonnen's career is as diverse as anyone. This is the world of European Splendour.

Introducing Icelandic quartet Bloodgroup: known for sensational live shows, their captivating melodies, and their powerfully-crafted brand of electronic music. Having released one of the very best albums of 2009 in Iceland according to critics, their second album Dry Land was awarded the Icelandic equivalent of the Mercury Prize, the Kraumur award. It has been one of the most successful albums in Iceland since its release. The next two years were spent mostly touring, playing festivals like SXSW in Austin, Texas, NXNE in Toronto, Canada, Roskilde Festival in Denmark, CMJ in New York, Eurosonic in The Netherlands, and Iceland Airwaves. Their music can be described as a mix of electro, pop and dance music, sometimes compared to The Knife and CSS. All of this is accompanied by a dance rhythm which will drag even the stiffest of bodies around the dancefloor. Bloodgroup have risen from making simple electro-pop in run-down houses in East-Iceland to something much, much bigger. With their new album, Tracing Echoes, the word has gotten out to the rest of the world that Bloodgroup has hit their mark and stride. Tracing Echoes is a highly-developed album with majestic ballads, grinding beats, and a pop single or three thrown in for good measure: "Perhaps where the band stand apart from their influences is in their big pop melodies -- for all the sonic experimentation and strange synth noises that emerge around the two-minute mark, it's the gorgeous rush of the final chorus that makes the song soar. From sounding like a Knife tribute band, these Icelanders have developed into a soaring group of great scope and scale." --The Guardian UK (Fall Single). Sugarcane Recordings is very proud to release an album of such surprising magnitude.

Sin Cos Tan is the new project of ace producer Jori Hulkkonen and Villa Nah's Juho Paalosmaa. Having worked together previously on Villa Nah's superb debut album Origin and on the track "Re: Last Year" from Hulkkonen's own Man from Earth solo record, a further artistic union was inevitable. So while Villa Nah take a sabbatical and Hulkkonen wears yet another hat (other monikers have included Processory, Tiga & Zyntherius, Acid Symphony Orchestra, Stop Modernists), Sin Cos Tan reveal their self-titled debut -- and it's golden.

"Eighteen track album by Jori Hulkkonen and Jerry Valuri takes a new, more synthetic direction with lo-fi aesthetics and transhumanistic themes. Boasts lyrical, vocal, musical and production input from both members, bringing more depth and versatility."
