Even before SUEDE debuted with their first self-titled album in 1993, front man Brett Anderson was discovered as new favourite of all cover desks in UK’s music press. This androgyny aura, combined with the dandy-like rebel’s attitude, gave back the long missed face to the grunge-tossed British rock and brings back memories of two masters of theatrical great emotions BOWIE and MORRISSEY. SUEDE’s songs and sounds were the soundtrack for England before Britpop and BRETT ANDERSON was its unique voice. His second album ‘Wilderness’ was recorded in only 7 days with a minimal line-up. Besides Anderson on piano and guitar, the singer is only supported by cellist Amy Langley and singer Emmanuelle Seigner. ‘Wilderness’ touches the soul and surely is the perfect soundtrack for autumn.Source: Press Release

Most of the so-called “modern” acts kept recycling concepts that are known to be successful while the grey eminences either stayed straight in line with the sound they were renowned for or ventured into territories that were so far away from their roots that the fans were unwilling to follow. Two young talented guys from Sweden have now set out to do things a little differently and in many ways better: Auto-Auto. - Details

Spinefish's style is a subject of constant change, and in course of its evolvement the musicians have been experimenting with quite unrelated genres: from trip-hop, indie, gothic, idm to black and avantgarde metal, folk and ambient. But in spite of this stylistic fluidity, every record of the band retains a distinctive Spinefish feeling. Fool's Paradise Revisited, the latest recording, is a kind of Spinefish's renovated anthology. It consists of 13 pieces of 2003-2007 that were recorded with the style and sound that the band has developed to date. During the years of musical activity Moonling Io and his Spinefishers have grown very experienced and sophisticated in making music and performing it on stage. Extravagant, passionate music… And obviously beautiful.Playtip MP3: Embrace Me
