Picture Credit: Grande Fox Artwork: ZAO / Jon Toussas Grande Fox - Empty Nest Release Date: February 19, 2021 Label: selfrelease Format: CD / Digital Length: 40:46 Genre: Heavy Rock / Desert Rock Origin: Thessaloniki , Greece I am filled with joy, wanderlust, and a bit of melancholia every time, I receive new music from Thessaloniki. Now, it has been over two years, I visited this vibrant city, and I really need to go there again. One of the reasons is the huge amount of awesome musicians, artists, and bands that call Thessaloniki their home. Anyways, on hand we have the new album by Grande Fox. "Empty Nest" is a diverting collection of fuzzy, dynamic and somewhat stoned tracks - forty minutes of intense and mesmerizing Desert Rock. Grande Fox are spreading their dusty tunes at great velocity. If you imagine Heavy Rock being a ride, "Empty Nest" is a dragster race in the desert. Psychedelic elements decorate their bone-dry soundscapes from time to time - in 'Ov...

Picture Credit: Dead Bird Lady Artwork: Claire Paugam Dead Bird Lady - February Release Date: February 08, 2021 Length: 03:06 Genre: Indie Folk Origin: Paris , France /  Reykjavík , Iceland It is quite a long way from Iceland to France. Singer and songwriter Dead Bird Lady calls both capitals, Paris and Reykjavík her home. The cultural influences of two places in Europe that are very different to each other have left soft but succint traces in the music by Dead Bird Lady. Her first single "February" is an emotional Indie Folk ride on the everlasting power of the sea. The rhythms move like soft and yet steady oceanix waves. The colourful music merges thebouyant lightfootedness of French chansons with the atmospheric air of Icelandic skaldic. Dead Bird Lady's music feels like the strong link where human emotions, natural force, and magic are connected. Despite the slight melancholia the song contains, "February" is a gorgeous feel-good air that raises the anticpi...

Marine Store Dealer's selftitled debut is defined by a velvet atmosphere stretched on butt-moving rhythms and decorated with colourful - somewhat psychedelic - ornaments. The album feels like a sunny and sort-of melancholic autumn day out in the countryside. Somehwere between the ast...

Picture Credit: Little Hole Filled Artwork: Miriel Zeiner Little Hole Filled - And The Ants Still March On Release Date: October 06, 2020 (digital), March 26, 2021 (physical) Label: Konkord / Cargo Records Format: Vinyl / CD / Digital Length: 40:09 Genre: Doom Metal Origin: Austria "And The Ants Still March On" is the debut album by Austria's Stoner Doom quartet Little Hole Filled. Originally released digitally, the seven-track fuzz attack is now available as a physical release via Konkord and Cargo Records - reason enough to listen closely what the four musicians have created here. Drummer Thomas Breiteneder  is propelling a steady and halting march with extremely heavy boots as the foundation of this 40-minute Doom journey. Manfred Steininger  on the bass, and guitarists Otto Hackl  and Philipp Diesenreiter  spread a massively fuzzy, crunchy, and heavily distorted carpet of gloomy but harmonic noise above these marching rhythms. Rather clean guitar sounds erase fr...

Breaths provide us with almost exactly one hour of atmospheric and intense music that can be located somewhere between Post Rock, Post Hardcore, Post Metal, Shoegaze, Doom Metal, and even some Black Metal. Quite an interesting mix and definitely a great recipe for music that is brachial, soulful, and atmospherically cold at the same time. Like fog on a cold winter morning, the atmospheric soundscapes shimmer through the air, as they are joined by heavy Doom Metal riffs. The brutal intensity of the motifs makes a spring on this foundation like waves of a storm surge and hence creates this in...
