The Drift has released a new album, Blue Hour, that I’ll hopefully hear the full version of soon. Much excitement, especially because this track, Dark Passage, sounds amazing. What I like a lot, also, is the video that truly reminds me of these French railway commercials featuring Turing Machine.
Secondly, Pinback has promised to release a new album in early 2012! As a fore-runner they’ve released this little 7″. A trailer for the Record Store Day.
Last month I attended a Town Portal warm-up before a Polvo show. To be honest, there wasn’t anything interesting to bring back from the Polvo show, but I’m glad that Town Portal was there to make it worth going.
Town Portal is a 4-piece instrumental math-rock band from Copenhagen that doesn’t mind mixing in a bit of heavy influences. But they keep their musical expression from suffering any single discourse, instead allowing for experiments into fragments of epic and fragments of off-beat rhythms and fascinating guitar textures.
Deserves loudness and repetition!

Little Kingdoms has released their second EP, Home. They have abandoned the acoustic sounds and are venturing into a still laid-back yet more indie/post-rock/emo-ish territory – perhaps a bit like Owen or The Curtains. The overall sound is much more complete than before, and still rich with melody. Hope to hear more from them!
