The CD should have arrived at the MangoWave HQ around mid-March 2022. Neverthless, the German customs office wanted to be sure I am not receiving illegal substances or weapons etc sent from the USA. Thus, I had to go to a neighbouring town ...

With "He got a Gun", the gifted musician has released her first solo work. In the single, Mary Ellen takes on the topic of school shootings. The narrative is predominantly told from te point of view of the victims, but in the bridge the perspective is switched, and the listeners get an insight on the thoughts and motivations of the shooter. Different to her works at Peralta, Mary Ellen produces a completely different sound. The mix of leasurely paced Indie and Alternative Rock is a colourfully dark slow jam. The soundscape is completed by atmospheric and thrilling Trip Hop tunes which perfectly adds to the thrill of "He got a Gun".

  Picture Credit: Moan Barrow Moan Barrow is the brainchild of producer and multi-instrumentalist Brian Jones who is also the sole member of the band. Whether Moan Barrow really is a proper band or can rather be located to the fiction section of contemporary music history, is a question that is neither easy nor necessary to answer. Moan Barrow is Moan Barrow, and their music is a flagship for music production enterprise Moan Barrow Productions. On five songs available for streaming so far, Brian Jones ’ project presents themselves in a gloomy and melancholically bittersweet way. Dark soundscapes of Grunge and Post-Grunge create thrill and tension while the overall sound is decorated with a certain Disco or New Wave addition here and there. Take “Been here before” (video above) for example – a dynamical sonic déjà vu interpreted via energetic Alternative Rock and a Sting-like chorus. The latest release “Ghost” (video above) might be the darkest song by Moan Barrow so far – both ...

Coming together for jam sessions and further creative meetings quickly lead to the foour musicians forming a band - COW was born. Their latest single "Notemakers" was published via Chester's Mai 68 Records , and by looking at the cover artwork you might recognize whom the song is about. Here's "Notemakers", a sonic narrative about journalist Hunter S. Thompson  riding through the heat of the desert. The desert theme is present in the music as well, as COW implement the stolidity of Desert Rock à la Thin White Rope into the song. Yet, "Notemakers" has a certain dynamic motion to it which is predominantly due to the Alternative Rock (or rather Grunge) riffs. And finally, fine-grained like desert sand, the emotional atmosphere of Shoegaze completes the soundscap...
