Bipolar Svin
Secretly Svin wants to be two bands with two different personalities, or so it sounds on their brand new 12” on Copenhagen's Mom Eat Dad Records.

APE CLUB
Naming a song after my current favorite alcoholic beverage is a good start.

Bombino Live! @ Cosmopolite
I arrived at Cosmopolite to find a ton of “proper grownups” sitting at tables all in the back. I was alittle worried, but soon the younger crowd shows up and fill the dance floor...

LIVE! - JON SPENCER BLUES EXPLOSION
You're one of us / Or one of them
About twice as many people had woken up to The Walkmen since last time and dragged their tired asses down to Parkteatret on a cold Monday night. It was semi-packed.

Spray Paint
From one of the best labels in the business comes another great record. San Francisco's S-S (Scott Soriano) Records have consistently released quality music over the last decade, and starts off 2013 with a...

STEAL YR FACE: STEIN & JORD PLATEBA
Vinyl sales are on the rise in Oslo; I’ve read as much as 30 times the sales in the last 5 years. Kind of like the sale of microbrew beer, quality in taste, look...

Moon Relay
I am rarely (read: never) this excited about a new band from Oslo. Moon Relay feature veteran guitarist Daniel Meyer Grønvold (Jessica Sligter, Now We´ve Got Members), a fixture in the improv and noise...

Noxagt Live On Cassette

Hayden
One of Canada's best and most under-appreciated songwriters is back. I for one am glad he is. Coming out of hibernation from his Ontario den once again, Hayden releases Us Alone on the “hip”...

Another Kjetil Brandsdal (Noxagt/Ultralyd) project: (this time he’s on baritone guitar) with ex Noxagt/Moha! member Anders Hana behind the drums and Horacio Pollard on guitar/vocals. Clifford Torus is part sludge, part noise, and part...

Torkelsen
Some kind of cratedigging electro wizkid from the small town of Fredrikstad. Huh; who knew? Torkelsen is Kristian Torkelsen (Munn Til Munn Metoden) here going solo on his first full length record.

A Plea to Your Cover Song
Hi-fi is the new lo-fi.
Sic Alps have for a long time featured the duo of Mike Donovan and Matt Hartman. Not agreeing on what Sic Alps should be; Donovan, wanting a more song structured commercial sound; fired Hartman,...
