Her er hennestredje fullengder, I Want To Go, et folkpopalbum med ekte og ærlige tekster,pakket inn i et stort og spennende lydbilde. Heidi Marie har en stemmeog et sound som skiller seg klart ut i mengden av norsk musikk.Med fokus på tekster og et personlig uttrykk gjør hun sitt ytterste for ågripe tak i lytteren. Stilen hennes kan minne om mye av det beste avhva som skjer på den amerikanske indiefolkscenen for tiden, og noen vilkanskje sammenligne henne med artister som Laura Veirs og MaryGauthier. Det kan også trekkes paralleller til Allison Kraussog Robert Plant, artister som Heidi Marie selv er inspirert av.julia holterekstasisRVNG Intl.RVNGNL 14CD / RVNGNL 14LP0654367858226 / 0654367858219http://www.facebook.com/pages/Julia-Holter/153196178042232Ut av nærmest ingenting dukker fantastiske JULIA HOLTER opp.Etter et selvutgitt album, Tragedy, for under et år siden, får vi nå Ekstasis,et album som etter alle solemerker vil ende høyt på 2012-listeneover de beste albumene.

It’s as if all the hours spentwriting and rehearsing, tacking flyers to utility poles or maintaining forever-multiplying socialmedia platforms suddenly switch off as some vaunted rock-star lifestyle switches on. And insome cases, maybe it does; then again, Bear in Heaven’s never been about easy expectationsof normalcy.After the release of their second album, 2010’s Beast Rest Forth Mouth, big things began tohappen for the Brooklyn trio of Jon Philpot, Joe Stickney and Adam Wills, from the aforementionedaccolades to an electrifying collection of remixes featuring some of electronic music’sheaviest hitters, like The Field and Studio. As if in a transatlantic dream, they even split a singlewith Norway’s Lindstrøm and Christabelle, who covered their calling card, “Lovesick Teenagers.”But Bear in Heaven didn’t settle for the new well of notoriety they’d opened. Rather, theyplayed some 200 shows in support of Beast Rest Forth Mouth— touring the world, playingbigger rooms, building an intricate stage show that turned an album into a synesthetic experience.When it was over, they retrenched in Brooklyn and, during the dead of summer, retreatedto a chilly practice space to work harder than they’d ever worked on any other project. Theywrote, re-wrote, arranged, re-arranged, spending days or weeks building one song at a time.After months of testing their limits and trusting their instincts, Bear in Heaven emerged with ILove You, It’s Cool, an album so vivid and visionary that it meets and even exceeds the confidenceand calm its title suggests.I Love You, It’s Cool is the first time Bear in Heaven has sounded so unapologetic and soevolved, so risky and so redeeming, so focused and so finessed. After years of restless exploration,this feels like a definitive arrival. I Love You, It’s Cool is music written in the present tensebut ready to speak to the future. The work is its own rarified reward.FORHÅND 30.

Surprise, a two-part title.Siinai is the Finnish band Krug worked with on this album. Krug met Siinai when their formerband, Joensu 1685, toured with Wolf Parade throughout Europe in 2009. Over the followingyear, friendships were born, Joensu 1685 broke up, Siinai was formed and Krug unexpectedlyreceived a copy of their first album, Olympic Games. Siinai could safely be describedas progressive kraut rock. Their songs are long and heavy, often gorgeous, repetitive, withslow subtle hypnotic changes that bring to mind a single cell splitting into two. Also of keyinterest to Krug at the time: they had no vocalist. Krug asked if they wanted to make an albumtogether, a collaboration wherein Siinai would perform the meat of the music, and Moonfacewould take care of the vocals (and ultimately a few licks on the keyboard). Upon agreementfrom Siinai, Krug arrived in Finland in August of 2011 to begin restructuring demos and writea few tunes from scratch. Big beats boomed. Colours burst. Krug’s addiction to melody andpop music met Siinai’s love for simplicity and their rare patience for music that slowly evolves,and something somewhere in the middle was created. It was a compromise that everyoneenjoyed making.Tuba Records AS - Karl Johansgt. 6 - 0154 Oslo - NorwayTlf: +47 2201 0000 Fax: +47 2201 0001 tuba@tubarec.com www.tubarec.comVIII
