Emilie Jolie (30 Anniversary) / O.C.R. - Emilie Jolie (30 Anniversary) / O.C.R. - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Long out of print, the much-loved and critically acclaimed catalogue of The Sundays will be back in stock on vinyl and CD. Releasing three studio albums throughout the 90s, The Sundays are still revered with cult status across the world of indie rock, known for their shimmering, jangly guitars and the uniquely ethereal vocals of Harriet Wheeler. Stepping into slightly darker, more textured sonic territory, the band's second album trades some of the debut's upbeat bounce for a rich, introspective atmosphere, featuring songs such as On Earth and Goodbye.

Composer Per Bloland newest releaase, Shadows of the Electric Moon, highlights his reliance on fiction as an impetus for compositional inspiration as well as his integration of custom designed electronic software into his work. Featuring Unheard-of//Ensemble, Wild Rumpus, Keith Kirschoff, Bill Solomon, and Stephen Marotto, Bloland's music captures his inventive spirit and keen ear for highlighting subtletlies of instrumental characteristics and developing them within the narrative of a composition.

It's universe is the standard scale, it's pulsation inspired by cosmic rhythms, and it's unique poetry both disturbs and cap
