UNWED SAILOR (Gentlemen Records/Us)

Alternative / Progressive / Visual. In 2008, Unwed Sailor combined its instrumental rock roots, with the experimental/ambient sounds from its recent previous releases to create Little Wars. Little Wars features energetic and highly melodic instrumental rock songs, gently colored with layered synth keyboards and percussion. The album moves along steadily with danceable rhythms, melodic distortion, and delicate ambience. Little Wars is truly a unique, progressive, and challenging, addition to instrumental music. Unwed Sailor has continued to tour throughout 2008, sharing dates with This Will Destroy You, and Sybris. More touring is planned for the fall of 2008 in the U.S. and Europe.

HIGH PLACES (Thrill Jockey/Us)

Surf / Hardcore / Trance. Mary Pearson et Rob Barber forment le duo High Places. Basé à Brooklyn, le couple fait figure d'énième descendant aux essentiels Animal Collective. Leur lo-fi pop hirsute et fragile prend la tangente à la première occasion, se languit en plein labyrinthe boisé, érige un dance-floor de brindilles soulagé par un chant au tournoiement hypnotique et prône la rêverie par ses rythmiques spontanées éprises de soubresauts. Après un premier EP éponyme paru l'année dernière, High Places sortira son premier album à la rentrée. Magic.

PLUGS (Uk)

Progressive / Psyché. Side-project de Morgan Quaintance (Does It Offend You, Yeah?). It’s described as a sort of ‘post-rave, afro infuenced groove monster’. It sounds a bit like a house party thrown jointly by Hot Chip and The Beta Band. Lead single ‘That Number’ instantly grabs hold of you, shakes you around like the teacup ride at Disneyland, then gently lays you down to regain your composure. It’s just absolutely brilliant.
