a few words by osenboz:

it's been a long time since i last checked 12records
for new releases...
fortunately i came across their homepage today,
and when i noticed the cover of the new ep by
"derrick hart" i immediately had very high expectations.

but they've been exceeded!
this melancholic piece of pure indie-folk-pop listening
pleasure is exactly what i was searching for.

unfortunately it's again just a 4 track-ep, but listening to
those tracks allows the time to have a break.
the warm, melancholic voice of derric hart, assisted with
a chello, acoustic guitar and calm drums creates a really
nice calming atmosphere.

i don't know how often i listened to the track
"you're winning so i quit"... but it was surely more
than 5 times within the last 2 hours....
and it still doesn't get boring!

... for all those who can't get enough
of his music, there's an exclusive track of derric hart
on the "floating fire" compilation by acoustic firework records:

a few words by osenboz:

i haven't got alot of time, so i'll keep this quite short...

to sustain the musical variety on this blog,
i'll continue with a bit of "guitar music"

more precisely, with "sigmoid argonaut", the band
of the 5 americans: Jonny Cole, Scotti Wilson,
Danny Mullen, Tony Alecci and Ricky Wilson

i would categorize their music as a mixture of
melodic post rock mixed with some
synthie- and keyboard effects.

unfortunately the ep contains just 4 tracks, but
the band is quite new on the "market"
and this seems to be their first studio-recording,
so there's hope for more!

enjoy!

a few words by osenboz:

for all those who missed the dub-releases in the last weeks...
the waiting time is over!

jambassa, the dub project of "Carmine Minichiello" and
"Raffaele Gargiulo" (co-founders of aquietbump-netlabel)
produced a fine lyrics-based 7-track ep!
each track features another vocalist, some of them english,
some italian.
the beats & melodies are created digitally, but it seems
that they love to play with their equipment, and so they
created really sophisticated and interesting beats.

because of this variety, the ep is not as monotone, as most other
dub-releases are. however, it still creates a chilled atmosphere
which animates you to move your head slowly to the music.

"macchine parlanti ep" was released on monday (23.11.2009)
and i think that each dub-loving listener out there loves at
least one track of this ep ...so get it as long as it is fresh!

my favourites are:

02 - like silence (ft. candy)
07 - combo combo thing (ft. reddog and boom buzz)

a few words by osenboz:

1 week without a single entry...
i'm sorry for that... but i had to solve some problems with my pc...
fortunately now everything's ok again...

and here's the next wonderful release:

i stumbled upon it today by accident...
and shortly after the first "huuuu huuuu" and the trumpet
of the intro-song, i was totally captured.

the mix of flutes, trumpets, guitars, drums and
the calm voices of the singer "Guillermo Farré" and
his female partner (i couldn't find her name...)
harmonize really great, and the result is a
very well produced, indie-folk-pop release.

it starts great, and stays great,
and when the 12th track has gone to an end,
it leaves a nice, chilled feeling,
and animates you to listen to the whole release once again...


my favourites are:

02 - 1918-1929
08 - isabella
10 - kings of tomorrow
