BRACKEN (Anticon) –
www.myspace.com/brackenmusic
New venture from Hood main man Chris Adams. The glorious debut, 'We Know About The Need' (released on Anticon 12th February), mixes claustrophobic electronica, dubbed out experimentation and darkly beautiful melodies, forging a path somewhere between Boards of Canada, Third Eye Foundation and Hood. Bracken walks that rarely tread turf between the electronic and the organic, where complex arrangements sound free and easy.
Uncut – 'Pick of the bunch is 'Fight or Flight' whose frazzled luminosity betrays an affection for both the Durutti Column and The Beta Band.'
Angryape.com – 'Bracken is a name that we're really tipping for 2007 and the album is sure to be nothing short of excellent.'
Southern Records – 'Heathens' – Song of the week Jan 07
SJ ESAU (Anticon & Twisted Nerve) –
www.myspace.com/sjesau
A glittering collage of experimental pop which builds, skips then splinters across the feted lands of Beach Boys, Jim O' Rourke & Why? whilst remaining perfectly unique.
Plan B magazine '(SJ ESAU) - so sweetly wonderful... so incredibly homemade and so brave for letting you see exactly how they put everything together, no magic, which of course was all the magic they needed.'
'Wrong Faced Cat Feed Collapse' released by Anticon, February 22nd
GARETH S BROWN (Misplaced Music) –
www.myspace.com/garethsbrown
Gareth S Brown creates vividly autumnal, enchanted soundscapes through the prism of glockenspiel fuelled electronica.
Influenced by Eastern European folk music, funeral marches and jewellery boxes, 'Iron Henry' (released on Misplaced Music January 22nd) is a gorgeous work of layered beauty with nods towards Philip Glass, Terry Riley, Michael Nyman, Max Richter and Aphex Twin.
Sandman Magazine: It is very beautiful, very epic and needs to be listened to repeatedly.
I'd Rather Be Fat then Confused Mag: '…a fragile beauty, so secret its kept in a box but when its allowed out it twinkles like the stars.'
