Jazkamer "Musica Non Grata" CD
Pica Disk (2010) - pica015

Kr 103  -  € 10.00

Featuring: Lasse Marhaug, John Hegre, Jean-Philippe Gross

Description: The February edition of Jazkamer's 2010 monthly CD-series. "Musica Non Grata" is a feedback-fest. Armed with guitars and analogue synths and an arsenal of amps, Hegre, Gross and Marhaug locked themselves into Duper Studios in Bergen, exploring how feedback-timbre sounds like when recorded on an analogue 24 track 2" tape-machine. The three long tracks that makes "Musica Non Grata" are slow-moving long-form meditations on feedback that will be bliss for a select few and hell for most listeners. February is not an easy month. CD in digipak cover. Photos by Martín Escalante.

Mindy Misty vs Europ Europ "Mindy Misty vs. Europ Europ" LP
Handmade Records / Etch Wear (2010) - HMR012 - EW22

Kr 90  -  € 8.75

Featuring: Kenneth Amundsen, Roy Amundsen, Sigve Gunnarskog, Gunerus Engvall, Trond Harald Jensen, Mr Europ, Mr Etch, Mr Mod

Description: Finally available on vinyl! Two stray dogs unite to create a monster. Though the two are easily separated in classical genres from Mindy Misty's melodic indie to Europ Europ's noisy neo-pop, one does not need to stretch far for similarities. Hailing from the Oslo and Cologne sub-scenes respectively, mutual grounds are clearly present in the spirit of independent music and arts as well as the improvisational elements in each of their musical efforts. In October '07 the two bands joined forces for a single show in Oslo. The buzz was an obvious affirmation of their collaborative potential. Teaming up again in November with a recording studio booked for a weekend, the 7 piece hammered out and recorded 15 tracks from a previously non-existing set. Inevitably the prolific studio session is now being released as a studio album. Ten tracks made it to the final mix, only due to the time limitations of the LP format. More sounds from this fruitful collective is a safe bet. Kramer of Galaxie 500, Butthole Surfers, etc. has mastered the album at Noise Miami. A strange chaotic brew of noise, punk and clever pop aesthetics.

Kobi "Earplugged" CD
End of huM (2010) - EndofhuM-11

Kr 150  -  € 14.59

Description: Kai Kobi Mikalsen's solo debut as Kobi.

Usually Kai invites friends to join him for recordings or gigs. This time he has decided to do it all by himself; the music, production and cover design.

The idea was to make an album where the high and low frequences are explored. The album is one long and ever-changing song. It's noisy, but not in the sense of loud distortion. This album is more ambient but with high pitched noises and sharp edges that will annoy your cat, and low frequencies that might blow your speakers.

It's the death-ambient album the world has been waiting for.

Kobi "Live In Japan" CD
End of huM (2010) - EndofhuM-10

Kr 150  -  € 14.59

Featuring: Kai Mikalsen, Petter Flaten Eilertsen and Kelly Churko

Description: This album has previously only been issued as part of the Kobi "LiveBox" 2xDVD-R + 4xCD-R set issued by End of huM last year in a limited edition of only 22 copies. Now it's finally available on CD.

The album is made up of two live recordings featuring Kai Mikalsen and Petter Flaten Eilertsen playing at Flying Teapot, Ekoda, Tokyo and MegaHertz in Kitakyushu, plus a recording of Kai Mikalsen and Kelly Churko from Loop Line, Sendagaya, Tokyo. All the shows were part of the Crazy River / Kobi / Love Hz tour of Japan in March 2007.

Maybe it was the sushi or the sheer enjoyment of being in Japan; the concerts turned out to be more noisy than you would expect from Kobi.

These and other shows are also documented on the Crazy River / Love Hz / Kobi "Japan Tour 2007" DVD-R released by End of huM in 2009, so please check that out, too.

Kr 103  -  € 10.00

Duch: double bass. CD in digipak cover.
