*****THIS WEEK'S MUST-HAVE RELEASE!
ASHBURY HEIGHTS "MORNINGSTAR IN
MY BLACK CAR"
FILE
UNDER: AWESOME!
2007’s Electro Pop sensation returns! On its
debut
album “Three Cheers for the Newlydeads”, the young Swedish duo won the
hearts of
critics and fans alike with bucket loads of glamour and irresistible and
catchy
tunes. Now, the follow-up-EP “Morningstar in a Black Car” is destined to
make
some waves as well. Yaz and Anders are not making the common mistake of
following blindly along the lines of the success formulas of the debut
album,
but instead are going to great efforts to constantly evolve their
versatile
sound. The title track, an epic, shuffling anthem, and the pulsating Disco
track
“Spiders” sport the same hit-qualities as any track on the first album,
while
sounding even more mature and grand… and the lightly grooving “Smile” can
easily
match the absolute classics in Pop Music. Ashbury Heights showcase their
mastery
of creating songs that are instantly catchy but always have that extra
sense of
depth that will keep you hooked. On “Morningstar in a Black Car”, the duo
produces timeless Pop songs with a hint of real grandeur. Agonoize,
UnterART and
Marsheaux are topping off the package with club-compatible remixes and, as
a
special bonus, the CD also includes the classy video for “Spiders” – an
enthralling visual adaptation of this thundering, yet sophisticatedly
beautiful
song. “Morningstar in a Black Car” will seamlessly continue Ashbury
Heights’
success story… glamorous anthems with a touch of class! Released on Out of
Line
and available July 18th, 2008.

HOT PRE-ORDERS!!
TEARWAVE
"DIFFERENT SHADE OF BEAUTY"
A year after their debut,
Tearwave returns
with this monumental 17 song, 77 minute CD. Overflowing with passion and
motion,
Jennifer's soaring vocals float over guitar glaciers, letting her words
flow
from a very authentic place, tapping into the darkest sides of her self.
Different Shade of Beauty's huge washes of shoegazer / indie-rock / dream-pop is driven by Doug's sweeping, gauzy guitars creating a dense musical interplay with Joe's surging bass-lines and John's insistent drum rhythms. And yet, even with the beautiful layers of musical melody, it's the ghostly ethereal soprano and dark lyrics which beckons through the tracks, like a woman lost in a wintry, foggy forest.
Much like their hometown of Buffalo, NY, these dreamy melodies can be piercingly cold at times; the beauty serves as a entrance to Jenn's lyrics which unflinchingly explore her deepest sorrows and regrets. "Shattered Fairytale" discovers the lies in life and explores thoughts of children that are never to be. "The Message " deals with suicide and false idols. "Reflection" touches upon a person's horrible self image that is in their own mind, yet effects their daily existance. And having a profound emotional effect for very different reasons, "Love Only Makes Me Weak" reflects upon the losing feeling of giving in and letting somebody have your heart.
Passionate, powerful and intense.
Tearwave blends dark
waves of disintegration with shoegaze dream pop setting a mood for
self-discovery. Having the listener sit back and really feel was
Tearwave's main
goal. Creating a shoegaze classic is what they have achieved. Released on
Projekt and
available July 29th, 2008.

LUX INTERNA
"A LATERN CARRIED IN BLOOD AND SKIN"
Lux Interna: the
innermost light - an esoteric term that carries intonations of Gnosticism
describes the nature of Lux Interna's music very aptly. Singer/songwriter
Joshua
Levi Ian Gentzke founded the group some ten years ago as an outlet for
folk-inspired songs with demanding lyrics revolving around mystical topics
of an
existential nature. The voice of this music bespeaks a Blakean quest for
the
divine within this world. He is aided and abetted in this quest by his
co-conspirators, Kathryn Gentzke, Katherine Trimble, Kevin Sweet, and
Shane
Hallinan, all adding vocal, visual and musical textures to the
songs.
Lux Interna have frequently been compared to artists such as Current 93, Backworld, Leonard Cohen and Nick Cave. This rings true, however, not in terms of imitation, but rather in the sense of a shared spiritual and aesthetic kinship. Musically one can expect a deep, passionate male voice and a soothing, sometimes ghost-like female vocal, woven into well-crafted songs arranged for acoustic guitars, cello, keyboards, and dulcimers. Over the course of four studio releases and a row of concerts (mainly in Europe), Lux Interna has emerged as one of the most original and essential ensembles of the Dark Folk genre, although the sheer quality of their music surpasses any clichéd niches.
[a lantern carried in blood and skin] is an anthology featuring tracks from all previous Lux Interna albums. It is their first domestic release and gives an excellent overview over their musical and mystical journey thus far.
In Digipak, with 12 page booklet. Released on Projekt and available July 29th, 2008.

T.W.Z."EVOLUTION"
Advoxya records should not necessary to
complain about the absence of the fresh infusion of talented blood in
2008. Only
two months ago was released the debut album of “the russian wumpscut”
young band
Denergized, and here comes the time for the new debut on label. True, for
the
Swedish trio TWZ the release of Evolution its not a debut in the musical
plan,
but after some experiments with short-lived labels and self-released
materials,
the group has come to the constantly growing Advoxya label bringing a well
thought-out and rigid material. The swedish band, ruled by Richard K.
presents a
powerful impact EBM, implemented in the best traditions of the first-line
troops
of the assault division from Black Rain. It is screwing nails into the
listeners` head, pumping inside tons of clear electro-terror, breaking
through
contact protection and taking your body out of control, forcing it to move
in
tact by the machine gun bursts, detonated with the fire support of assault
force. Released on Advoxya and available July 8th, 2008.

SYSTEM SYN
"END"
NOW
SHIPPING!!
System Syn’s The Mouring Ritual in
2005 cast doubt among fans on whether the band could surpass the benchmark
that
they set for themselves. Now, three years later System Syn returns to
answer
that question. YES! But forget the simple “yes,” its more than that. End
stands
out as one of the most important releases of the 2008. Dripping with
catchy
hooks and melodies laden with persuasive beats, the emotive lyrics add a
dynamic
all to themselves. Tracks such as “Like Every Insect,” “Open Wrists,” and
“Blood” are destined for dance-floor dominance, while others such as
“Hope,”
“Broken Fingers,” and “The Void” simply make for some damn great
listening. If
Depeche Mode had balls, it would be System Syn. Released on Metropolis.
