The Pasadena Roof Orchestra - Ladies and Gentlemen
(HerzogRecords)
Jazz / Swing
Swing is in. Top-name DJs are stocking up on old vinyl copies of the great big bands. Trendsetting clubs are vying to outdo each other with their swing and electro-swing nights; quite often involving the appropriate dress-code. The Pasadena Roof Orchestra, whose musicians have been employed by big stars such as Robbie Williams and even Bryan Ferry, is the band responsible for starting the revival. The Pasadena Roof Orchestra stands as a unique statement against the increasing trivialisation of entertainment. It represents the high culture of lightness, a culture which it is not easy to ignore.
TDeL2 - Barnegat
(Monkey Records)
Electronic
Based out of Omaha, Nebraska, DeLuca creates complex, emotionally-driven songs that incorporate both acoustic and electronic elements. The album is heavily instrumental, with occasional lyrical interludes, and is influenced by a wide range of artists including Lusine, The Album Leaf, Emancipator, Miike Snow, Explosions in the Sky, Reptar, Yppah, The American Dollar and Hammock.
Feral & Stray - Between You And The Sea
(Mikrokleinstgarten)
Pop / Indie Pop / Singer / Songwriter
What kind of between an album titled BETWEEN YOU AND THE SEA passes through, that is already walking a thin line? Who or what lies on both sides of the road? The great strength of the album may lie in the fact, that it asks questions, rather than giving answers. BETWEEN YOU AND THE SEA leads to a somehow familiar and vague situation, which constantly challenges the possibilities and boundaries of a widened idea of pop music.
Game Ove & die Spielfiguren - Ove, wenn & aber
(Grand Hotel Van Cleef)
Folk Rock / Indie Pop / Singer / Songwriter
Game Ove (also singer of the Band “Torpus and the Art Directors”) with his Solo project “Game Ove & die Spielfiguren”!
Johannes Falk - Mona Lisa
(Gerth Medien)
Pop
Dizzy and giddy with happiness. This is the effect by the music of singer songwriter Johannes Falk. The second single “Mona Lisa” from the album “360″ decrypts the secret of the album title. And opens new levels. Powerful pop poetry. A dream of words and music.
FrauContraBass - Comes Love
(Contemplate)
Jazz / Vocal Jazz
3rd album by Jazz duo FrauContraBass (Katharina Debus und Hanns Höhn).
