Nachdem das letzte Album “Numb” von Levin Goes Lightly im Oktober 2024 erschien, ging der gebürtige Bayer auf ausgiebige Deutschland-Tour - und zog 2025 weiter in die USA, unter anderem zu einem Auftritt beim SXSW Festival in Austin. Irgendwo zwischen New York und Texas entstand das neue Musikvideo zu “Sterne”: eine Cold-Wave-Romanze, die sich im Wüstenstaub einer US-Roadmovie-Kulisse wälzt.

„Livre des Images“ ist ein zwanzigminütiger Film von Alexander Johannes Kraut, der aus 265 Zeichnungen besteht und einem namenlosen Protagonisten durch seinen Alltag in Paris folgt. Die von Konstantin Unwohl vertonte Bildfolge verbindet zeichnerische und musikalische Vielfalt zu einer Erkundung der Welt, wobei Unwohl mit sanften Ambient-Klängen und musikalischer Offenheit neue kreative Wege beschreitet.

This place is all fucked up. So let‘s face the world with hope, love and fight. Fight for human rights, fight for democracy, fight right-wing extremists, fight oligarchy, fight patriarchy, fuck war.
And love the ones you need to love.

The single is now live on all streaming platforms.

Welcome to Bobby’s Place, the new split personality album from long time musical mischief maker and cultural provocateur Bobby Conn!

Bobby Conn is a vocalist, songwriter, and performance artist working in Chicago. He came out of the Chicago “No-Wave” noise and performance scene in the mid-90’s but quickly developed a reputation for extravagantly excessive performances, satirically political lyrics, and experimental, electro glam art rock.
Side A finds Bobby living in a tent somewhere on the astral plane surrounded by synthesizers, woodwinds, hand drums and a pulsating psychedelic fog. Planet Earth and the temporal plane are only faintly visible in the distance.
Side One finds Bobby starring in an alternative reality workplace sitcom also called Bobby’s Place. In each episode Bobby starts a new small business, like a restaurant or a nail salon, with a team of puppets, but the business inevitably fails and ends in bankruptcy by the end of the show. But no matter, Bobby can’t stop, and the six tightly arranged glam rock tunes on Side One are proof.
Essentially, each side exists as an independent conception - which side to play first? There is no answer, they are equally the best entry into Bobby’s Place.
 

The album is available to preorder on LP and CD!

Thank you, Robert, for these beautiful songs. Get ready, everyone, to have your early summer adorned with this!

The album is available on CD / LP / limited LPs and all streaming platforms. 

We're pleased to release the ninth solo album of Go-Betweens member Robert Forster: Strawberries! 

The idea, Forster writes in his liner notes, was “to arrive in a town with a clutch of songs, to rehearse, record and mix an album with local musicians over a number of weeks, and then leave with the record done.” In this spirit, almost all of Strawberries was rehearsed and arranged at Stockholm's INGRID studios. Forster collaborated - among others - with Peter Morén (of Peter Bjorn and John). 

After the decidedly more sombre “The Candle and the Flame”, this record sees Robert breaking with most of his own conventions. After many acoustic records, Forster is back on electric guitar; the songwriting diverges from the purely autobiographical, singing styles change here and there… long-time fans will be surprised and delighted, and new listeners are most welcome to join the ride. 

Available in LP/ltd. red LP/CD/digital formats on all streaming platforms!

Die Liga der gewöhnlichen Gentlemen's neues Album "Egg Benedict" ist ab jetzt überall erhältlich!
„Egg Benedict“ ist ein musikalischer Film Noir in Bunt, ein Dienstag in Dur, Agit-Pop zum Tanzen auf Schloss Mühlenhof. Wer den DLDGG-Mischmasch aus DIY-Northern-Soul, (Indie-)Pop, 60s und was auch immer, den mit Horns, Banjo, Flöten, Sitar und Kinderinstrumenten angereicherten Wide-Eyed-Gitarren-Pop bisher mochte, wird ihn jetzt lieben.
Und warum ist da Inspektor Clouseau von der Sûreté auf dem Eier-Cover? Einfach nur weil’s cool ist oder hat das einen tieferen Sinn? Natürlich weil er cool ist. Aber vielleicht steckt in der Liga und ihrem Pop doch ein tieferer Sinn, den man auf Anhieb nicht entdeckt, weil die so schlau sind? Findet es selber raus. 
Guten Appetit!

Erhältlich als LP / Limited LP / CD und auf allen Streaming-Plattformen! 

Louis Philippe and The Night Mail return with a new captivating record where the songs are once again faultless. Carrying on the journey away from the classic towards the unexpected with new synths and hand claps adding a sense of the abrupt and, with voices calling from the wings, a sense of play and a lack of fear.

The album is available on CD / LP and all streaming plattforms!

Die Anteile are gardeners on the side. Regardless of the local weather conditions, they merrily plant a wide variety of musical plants. The Japanese electro pioneers of Yellow Magic Orchestra are rooted prominently in the round bed where they share the soil with proto-industrialists like Crash Course in Science and Pyrolator. Post-punk bands such as Talking Heads and Magazine bloom along the garden fence, while electroclash is being fertilized in the neighbouring bed. Plenty of produce for a fresh wildflower salad to find its way onto the Die-Anteile-buffet.

‚Pelzwerk' is available on LP / CD and on all streaming platforms.

Of all the independent record labels of the 1980s, él was the most singular and exciting. él only existed for a few short years and yet paradoxically - given its modest commercial success - was hugely influential. For writer Jonathan Coe, one of the label’s many devotees, él was ‘Britain's great musical secret’.

The Rubens Room accompanies the book Bright Young Things by Mark Goodall (Ventil) the first publication to tell the fascinating story of the music found on The Rubens Room.
The album is available on Vinyl (2-LP) and CD. An exclusive white Vinyl version is available at the Tapete (EU) and Rough Trade Shop (UK)!
