The dark time of year is drawing nigh and the monsters that live under beds and in wardrobes to become the essence of countless children’s nightmares start creeping out of their summer hideaways. On “Hide And Seek”, successful Canadian group The Birthday Massacre delivers the ideal soundtrack to all our collective childhood angst… another mesmerizing invitation into the band’s trademark darkly colourful wonderland comprised of Electo Pop, Gothic, New Wave and an atmosphere that mingles youthful imagination with quirky gothic visions that could easily have sprung from the creative mind of cult director Tim Burton. The band and their energetic lead singer Chibi showcase their most mature song writing effort, ever, combined with an increased focus on electronics for maximum impact, more than ever before toying with musical extremes.

The disc represents a voyage int into the most hidden recesses of the subconscious mind o and flows with the dream dream-like quality unique to Ka Ka-spel and his work. The atmospheres songs range from vast ambient spoken word spaces to enduring psychedelic balads where the warmth of Ka Ka-spel’s voice moves with us in solitary, dilated harmony. Meandering throughout the tracks of this eclectic opera is the sense of a conceptual overlay, tied to images of abandoned abodes and ancient spirits.

Lurking within each of us lies Le Minus, that bitter, frustrated, hard-done by inner voice that whispers of conquest and unappeased revenge. Biding time, it sees and mocks our loneliest moments with a wry sense of humour… This fusion/rock power-trio from the French city of Toulouse disrespectfully sums up two decades of alternative rock and fusion. Their style is an explosive cocktail of energy, instinct, groove and power, illustrated by the scathing snarl of a neurotic Frenglishman. Honestly, Le Minus is best served with bands such as Primus, Bumblefoot, Fishbone or Living Colour. The band has released a first 3-tracks EP in 2009 ("Rancour is a gift") and one year later its debut full-length album, "The Book Of V". In 2012, Le Minus unleashes its third effort, entitled "Make my day", directly available from the band right NOW!
