Noswal – Pangaea
Post-rock music continuously evolves through decades, and this particular genre is currently on the rise. Piles of brand new records are popping out from nowhere, but despite quantity, each release possesses loads of qualities.

Royal Hungarian Noisemakers – Le Roi Est Mort CD (Unsigned Records)
Royal Hungarian Noisemakers emanate from Budapest, Hungary. I was fortunate enough to share the stage with this live act, but also to experience their live performances a couple of times. Whoever experienced their live performance, left with the impression there’s a lot more going on, mainly because of the presence of both analog and digital…

Chaotalion – Tannenholzrauch CD (Attenuation Circuit)
Attenuation Circuit Records have been rumbling around for a while. It’s mindblowing how much effort Sascha puts up into his releases, shows, tours, and his activism on the contemporary avant-garde scene skyrocketed the label to the top. It’s no wonder why this is the case considering the number of releases Attenuation Circuit has managed to…

Barrens have tie connections with Scraps Of Tape, the band that produces incredible recordings for more than two decades.
