Who knew that rock'n'roll could still be so exhilarating... and musically diverse?A half-English 4-piece hidden away in the unlikely habitat of Switzerland, they've honed their craft without distraction for many years. Searching for the right sound they've previously recorded in San Diego, Camden and Tooting, but for this album they went back to the local Swiss studio where they made their early rockabilly albums, allowing more time to get it spot on.The line-up is chanteuse Emanuela Hutter, Oliver Baroni on vocals and stand-up bass, Duncan James on guitar and Sylvain Petite on drums; With Monsters and Gods is also embellished by Oliver's latent piano skills. The esteemed Pete Thomas provided saxophone.On this 2016 album, they open with psychedelia meets 50s sci-fi of In Space the following 13 songs are an aural treat firmly rooted in established musical styles (rockabilly, r'n'b etc.). However, with Emanuela's vocals you get Inchthis weird distinctly non-American approach to singingInch creating a unique sound.With contributions including Spark Phillips of Demented Are Go and mariachi horns courtesy of Calexico, a song that makes you want to start throwing stuff around to and another reimagining Blondie recording in the 50's, you have a very special album from a band that is not only at ease with themselves but one that's at it's full creative tilt and in the ascendant.The band are quite an online and vinyl phenomenon, boosted by the My Love For Evermore single, a duet with Spark Phillips that leads their Youtube takeover with over 20 million views.

The Hillbilly Moon Explosion - Sparky Sessions   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

A complete album of duets with Mark 'Sparky' Phillips of Demented Are Go. The Hillbilly Moon Explosion are a modern rock'n'roll band. With six albums under their belt, they tour the world with their authentic take on the roots of the wide genre of rock. They comprise two Englishmen abroad - Oliver Baroni, double bass & vocals, and Duncan James, guitar; a French drummer Sylvain Pettitte, and their captivating Italian/Swiss chanteuse, Emanuela Hutter. Building on their live gigs, in recent years they've become an online and vinyl phenomenon, with many tens of millions of Youtube viewers - in particular on distinctive duets with Sparky Phillips of psychobilly band Demented Are Go. Now an entire album of duets with the InchWelsh Tom WaitsInch is issued, including 'Jackson' and the 'My Love For Evermore' vinyl and video hit. Seven new tracks are added to the previous Sparky collaborations. The Hillbilly Moon Explosion toured the USA in 2018 and again in 2019, culminating at the 'Viva Las Vegas' rockabilly festival.

Van Stiefel - Spirits   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Composer and guitarist Van Steifel's InchSpiritsInch is his unique take on the studio-instrumental albums of layered guitar by legends like Les Paul, Chet Atkins, and Glen Campbell, filtered through his own introspective and personally spiritual way. Those albums were often a series of vignettes, each tune suggesting a particular location, mood, or flavor. This album turns that form into something akin to journal entries that hint at secrets, idiosyncrasies, and personal rituals. Van Stiefel has collaborated with many leading guitarists including Sergio Sorrentino, Benjamin Verdery, Eliot Fisk, Daniel Lippel, Bryce Dessner, Steve Mackey, and the Minneapolis Guitar Quartet. InchBeyond space and time, deceiving in it's simplicityInch (BigThink) his music for guitar has synthesized classical forms and techniques with electric guitar, digital, and interactive technologies.

Josephine Foster - No Harm Done   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Brand new album from Colorado's freewheelin' melodist Josephine Foster. Revolving between her adopted Spain and her native American West, Josephine was stationed this spring in Nashville with maverick guitarist and comrade-in-arms Matthew Schneider. The result 'No Harm Done', a spacious and enveloping love letter of an album. Eight new slow-burning songs branch forth from idiosyncratic country folk blues, sung with sibylline wit and a hint of the absurd, awash in sensually anachronic lyricism. InchThe Wheel of FortuneInch, nearly a title track by virtue of it's refrain 'No harm will come/if there's no harm done', are words of a homebound wanderer finding refuge in healing stillness with her beloved, having 'time to kill' in the midst of 'hard times to feel at home'. All delivered with calm sagacity upon the pedestal of Mr. Schneider's pedal steel and underscored by a knowing trebled chorus in Foster's lower register.
