MECHANICAL APFELSINESpace Without End

---

debut album of synth-pop project from Nizhniy Novgorod, Russia.
very high chanses for success: recognisable sign, perfectly combined material (the work on album lasted for over year).
respecting traditions of world synth-pop music, keeping the material of the band Sensor (which mostly become pop-new-vawe-rock by now), the initial line-up of Mechanical Apfelsine reached the task and did it precisely.
Mechanical Apfelsine took Depeche Mode and Joy Division (see label Shadowplay) lesson: and the learn it very well.

MODEST MOUSENo One's First and You're Next

---

since first breaking into the mainstream in 2004 with their hit, Float On, platinum-selling artist Modest Mouse has broken boundaries for indie music.
their impressive back catalog has become essential for hardcore fans to own, and they are often treated with b-sides and rare tracks from the band: No One's First and You're Next is a collection of newly recorded songs from the We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank and Good News for People Who Love Bad News sessions, as well as two rare b-sides.
three 7" limited edition, hand-numbered singles were released over the course of three months, all leading up to the release of this comprehensive collection of songs, including two additional tracks, King Rat and I've Got it All (most).
this is sure to be a must-have for their dedicated fanbase.

the Fontan album is sounding fantastic, kind of like Studio shoegaze downtempo with a twist.
it’s got the cosmic disco vibe locked down with the Information stamp of quality.

FRENCH TEEN IDOLEl Siete Es La Luz

---

roman sound manipulator Andrea Di Carlo is the modern equivalent of a designer: with only a handful of modern tools and his own ideas about musical architecture, he seeks to build musical cities much larger than himself under the moniker French Teen Idol.
Di Carlo, with aural glitch stutters and gorgeous synthetic backgrounds, creates a picturesque beginning to an experience that seems impossible to have been created by only one set of hands: the entrance grows from these simple roots into a more complex form that wanders peacefully for several minutes.

THE SLOW LIFEBe Not Afraid

---

The Slow Life are: Crawford Blair (original member of Rothko), on bass, keys and drones, Darren Bancroft, voice and lyrics, Ben Jones on drums and acoustic guitar and Dan Baker, on guitar, keys and drones.
dedicated to distilling maximum beauty from drums, guitars, voice and the occasional laptop flourish, they are influenced by and take references from the likes of Codeine, Sigur Ros, Talk Talk, Low, Bark Psychosis and Swans.
the group build their sound slowly and carefully, as only they know how.
Darren Bancroft’s wonderful, plaintive voice pins down the music, occasionally breaking free to drift off into the ether.
The Slow Life create and build a lexicon of beautiful near-silences, scorched earth string samples, unearthly drones/howls and suspended, reverberating guitar.
a beautiful and inspiring addition to the Trace roster.

NIGHTMARE OF YOUInfomaniac

---

Nightmare Of You is gearing up to release their second studio album, Infomaniac, on The Bevonshire Label.
produced by Brian Thorn at Magic Shop studios in Manhattan, NY, this album is the band's most altruistic, enthralling and skillful work to date.
this record has allowed Nightmare Of You (Brandon Reilly-vox/guitar, Joseph McCaffrey-guitar/vox, Michael Fleischmann-drums, Brandon Meyer-bass) the lucidity to create a more sophisticated sound. Infomaniac, is an artfully driven aural experience, built up of synergetic instrumental measures and intense lyrics that flow brilliantly transcending one song to the next.
