Death and Vanilla return with 'Flicker', presenting their unique pop music that defies categorisation. Housed in a beautifully austere post-ironic de-constructed sleeve; 'Flicker' is a modern reflection on these difficult times. World crises notwithstanding, they return reborn, re-arranged and revitalised after assimilating dub reggae, the motorik spirals of Can, the modal meander of Philip Glass and The Cure's dreamier pop sounds; plus the twice removed symphonic ambience of Spiritualized and Talking Heads under heavy manners from Brian Eno. By osmosis their period of transition since 2019's much darker 'Are You A Dreamer?' has hatched new eclectic electronica anthems riddled with melody lines, and layered for rich love.Forming in Malmö, Sweden, Death And Vanilla gravitated towards vintage musical equipment; from vibraphone, organ and mellotron, to tremolo guitar and Moog synthesisers. Soaking up soundtracks from the 60s and 70s, listening to library music, kosmiche, French Ye-ye pop and 60s psych, Marleen Nilsson, Anders Hansson and Magnus Bodin were fashioned by the city's austere industrial past and flat pack present, and all in the shadow of the Orsesund Bridge that links their dreamworld to mainland Europe and a darker reality.Death And Vanilla at once sound like everything is possible; but nothing else at all. There is a flicker of hope for everyone.InchDeploying vintage instruments in their quest for melancholic utopia.Inch Electronic SoundInchBaroque pop through a dreampop filter.Inch The GuardianA1.

After several years pursuing careers apart from one another, the original line-up of the revered Cap'n Jazz reunited to form Chicago's art-funk post-rock groove outfit, OWLS, Featuring Tim Kinsella (Joan of Arc), Mike Kinsella (Joan of Arc, American Football), Victor Villarreall (Ghosts and Vodka), and Sam Zu-rick (Joan of Arc, Ghosts and Vodka), OWLS retained the obtuse structures of their previous bands while sonically stripping down to the basics of pure simple rock. Available again on vinyl for the first time since 2011! Album Tracks 1. What Whorse You Wrote Id on 2. Anyone Can Have a Good Time 3. I Want the Quiet Moments of a Party Girl 4. Everyone Is My Friend 5. I Want the Blindingly Cute to Confide in Me 6. For Nat's Brother Whose Name I Never Knew or Can't Remember 7. Life in the Hair Salon - Themed Bar on the Island 8.
