A Clean Kitchen Is A Happy Kitchen

Craig Ward (ex dEUS, Love Substitutes, Kiss My Jazz, True Bypass, ...) and Bootsie Butsenzeller's (DAAU, Traktor, Dóttir Slonza, Kapitein Winokio,....) casual musical relationship has been taking place in Butsenzeller's humble homestudio since early 2007. They both found a soulmate and mutual schredder in bassplayer Zahnoun Ben Younes (Pawlowski, Eat Lions, Rottchilds). Who joined them instantly for groovy, edgy, intense live shows ! They found their mutual musical loves and put them into the recorder: Shellacian edgyness, Beefheartian madness and progressions like King Crimson.

Arbouretum

The song structures that Arbouretum favor are open, never a simple verse chorus verse chorus, with several points at which Heumann’s guitar and Allender’s overdriven bass might come off the rails, tessellating and unfolding into long, expressive instrumental passages. (Source: Thrilljockey)

The Joy Formidable

Sought-after Welsh rock trio The Joy Formidable are the latest act to sign to Canvasback Music/Atlantic Records. The label will release the band's full- length debut in early 2011. The Joy Formidable’s eight-song EP "A Balloon Called Moaning" has won them critical praise from a variety of outlets, including the NME, who have consistently raved about the band's style of "grungey pop [that] is sure to win over swathes of converts." SPIN called the release "ambitious," noting: "drenched in fuzzy bass, propelled by...driving percussion… the album transforms ear-stabbing reverb into something pretty, airy, girly and sometimes dark." The New York Times' Jon Pareles praised the songs' "cryptic lyrics that glint with urgency," and said that "the music regenerates the turbulent haze of 1990s rock, but it's less tormented and more anthemic, confident of the pop structures at its core."
