Super World Interview Time: MyGhost revisit their old haunts
Back in the summer of 2016 when we were FEW (and far between) we premiered “Queen Of Summer” (Dead Bees Records) by MyGhost. Now that we are SWIT we are delighted to have an interview with the boys on the occasion of the release of their debut LP also entitled “MyGhost”. The beautifully-produced record fulfills…
I’m sure that a magus* will build a temple to Vegas
Vegas – End of the World “End of the World” is the melodic, sleek, brooding debut by Vegas on Better Call Rob. Coming on like a lost eighties masterpiece, blending Propaganda, The Bad Seeds and much more it’s a pretty fine way to introduce yourself to the world and another great find for Robert Heitmann’s…
A whistling swan couldn’t sound better than Owen Marchildon
Owen Marchildon – Sweet Potato Kisses Call me a sentimental fool [You’re certainly a fool. Ed] but I love this. Here is the wonderful, country-tinged ballad “Sweet Potato Kisses” from Owen Marchildon. Speaking of children (?) Owen said “The song is about my son. I quit my job and took part time work on weekends…
Super World Interview Time: Cats Of Transnistria give us paws for thought but we nip it in the bud.
Finland’s Cats Of Transnistria are vocalist Henna Emilia Hietamäki, guitarist and sound designer Tuomas Alatalo and violinist Sanna Kom. In February they released their landmark second LP “Opium” (Soliti), a dark, hypnotic heartworm. We have featured the cats on a number of occasions and were delighted to catch up with them in this week’s Super…
Not many musicians could ape Fricot
Dom Fricot – Echoes Vancouver native Dom Fricot wrote to us “I just put out a new music video for the track ECHOES. The video follows two mischievous youngsters in the streets of Kathmandu, Nepal. Shot and produced by Dwight Jantzi of Fishtank Films, this work is probably one of my favourite projects to be…
“CHESS” by ANIQO is no minor piece
ANIQO – CHESS “Chess” by ANIQO is a dark meditation on love and the games people play. Pared back, insistent and immediate, it inhabits the danger-zone between security and adventure and illustrates that less can be very much more when it comes to creating music that will live long in the memory. The track is…
There’s nothing finah than this tune from Bank Myna
Hello, Bank Myna are not messing about, their new song “Forest In My Head” is dark, monumental, portentous even. It talks to dreams, nightmares, confusion. It’s a rook with a crimson-red beak. I especially love the percussion, and above all the heaviness floats Maud’s vocal, a feather drifting through a coal-mine. Class. It’s the first…
Super World Interview Time: No Suits In Miami roll up their sleeves
This is No Suits In Miami’s third outing on SWIT. The band are from the southern Swedish town of Lund and consist of Michelle Dzgoeva, Olle Oscarsson, Hannes Ponzlid and Erik Lange. Today we have their brilliantly downbeat, tuneful new single “Plain Sight”, plus we get a chance to interrogate the band. We have ways…
Super World Exclusive Time: Foreign Owl’s new song “Jump” takes flight
We said previously “mixing elements of René Magritte, Sparklehorse, Edward Lear and whatever you’re having yourself, Foreign Owl makes quite extraordinary sounds” and now new song “Jump” (produced by Rory Moore) confirms everything we thought previously and more. It’s a jumped-up catchy-groove, with wonderful vocals over(under?)laid with a tale of divers taking a dangerous leap into…
The bear traverses parallel universes invented by Curxes, check out their new verses. Not suitable for nurses.
Curxes – The Stars, Like Dust I am a sucker for electronic music and for sci-fi and when you get both together well it’s a match made in the heavens, isn’t it? “The Stars, Like Dust” is Curxes glacial, foreboding successor to “In Your Neighbourhood”, and it’s an altogether darker affair. Luxuriating in dissonance, conjuring…
