OUT NOW // From bedroom, to bedroom, to bedroom - Lugano / Baden based musician garbologist shares a small glimpse into his little world through his debut EP 𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙡𝙨, 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙚𝙨, 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚, 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨. The record shows a keen sense of the zeitgeist with its art/noise pop angle, but the confluence of different influences, combined with a homemade production approach results in a soundscape that often defies categorization (he calls it "internet-originated microgenre music").

𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙡𝙨, 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙚𝙨, 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚, 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 was recorded over the course of the last two years in a multitude of bedrooms. This aspect is reflected throughout the lyrics that explore the difficulties that arise in life through constant change. They embark on a restless search for what is important and reflect on the little things that may have previously seemed trivial.

And yes, we almost had to convince garbologist to release the songs. For him, it's a very personal album, guarded like a treasure in the depths of his laptop hard drive.

Garbologist is a young musician and sound design student from the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland. When he's not archiving recordings for the National Sound Archives, he's crafting noise pop songs in his bedroom, pondering the little things that might have seemed trivial in the past.

The long-awaited second album 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐢𝐫 𝐎𝐟 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞 by Les Yeux Sans Visage is out today!

https://soundcloud.com/ohsisterrecords/sets/les-yeux-sans-visage-choir-of-the-desolate

On «Choir Of The Desolate» Lucerne based Les Yeux Sans Visage present their first new recordings in over ten years. It is an album of raw elegance. Structurally dense and at the same time ethereally detached. Bright sparks of melody, hypnotic bass lines and kaleidoscope-like rhythm structures characterize songs like the shadowy «Roman Reports», the hopeful shimmering «Tidal Waves» or the fatalistic «All Is Lost».

The post-punk/new wave roots are definitely still present on «Choir Of The Desolate», but the album transcends such genre boundaries unapologetically - not least with a hint of Walker/Brel in its cinematic arrangements.

The album is out digitally today on all major platforms. Unfortunately the vinyl somehow got lost, more news on that later..

Out Today // 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘆 - Silver Firs feat. Loner Lawrence

https://linktr.ee/silverfirs

Annihilation Party is a song full of contradictions. Friendly surf guitars meet the mantra-like vocals of experimental-pop duo Loner Lawrence. Is the song a three-minute meditation on the end of things? Or a somber percussion exercise to reflect on the mountainous homeland? Maybe we don't need to know and just enjoy that Silver Firs' new single leaves us slightly perplexed.

OUT NOW // 𝗔𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗦𝗼𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝗮𝗱 𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲, the debut EP by 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗿 𝗟𝗲𝗳𝘁𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿
https://linktr.ee/ohsister

The hiss of a tape and muffled beats of a drum machine, which sound like from a jukebox of a roadhouse in the lost woods. Haunting synths sing like ghosts. A voice echoes like memories of the past, whether it was the 50s or the 80s, you can't remember. Something is falling out of time, out of place. Red silk on a TV-screen. White leather gloves.

On their debut EP, Average Songs for Sad People, the duo Parker Leftlover recalls various facets of underground music from decades past, yet remains elusive. With a tear of joy and one of sadness on their cheeks, they write love songs about dreams and nightmares. A midnight disco for the sleep- and restless.

The release is a collaboration between Oh, Sister Records and Bleu Lagon Records, the latter representing the vibrant music scene of the sunny Vevey Riviera.

OUT NOW // Silver Firs feat. Justine Salvadori - 𝓝𝓮𝓸-𝓡𝓸𝓶𝓪𝓷𝓽𝓲𝓬𝓲𝓼𝓶

https://linktr.ee/ohsister

Neo-Romanticism is a small collection of songs that have been dormant on a hard drive for some time. In collaboration with folk singer Justine Salvadori (Groom, Yellow Teeth), the songs were finally brought back to life.
Floating gently over an ecosystem of fingerpicking guitar and distant synthesizers are intimate little fragments about dream worlds and the longing for a somewhat naive nature romanticism in the digital age.

✨🐙🐟✨Binary Sunset release their EP 𝓣𝓻𝓪𝓷𝓼​-​𝓮𝓷​-​𝓟𝓻𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓷𝓬𝓮 (𝓯𝓻) today!!
https://binarysunsetband.bandcamp.com/album/trans-en-provence-fr

Lucerne based Binary Sunset spent their summer in the hot south of France to work on new songs. There, under the influence of four middle ear infections, triggered by the polluted water of a too warm pool, they wrote their new EP "Trans-en-Provence (fr)". And so it had to be the town of their summer Sturm und Drang episode that gave the record its title.

« Get on board. Stay in bed. Get some rest.
Listen:
We’re moving, through an empty space that is. We can get there in time and we brought those sounds you missed.
Let’s crush some ice, let’s get some sun in your eyes.
Let the sparrows their lovely songs, by the help of electricity.
Irritating, but we like it a lot. »
