If It's Too Loud has highlighted a few new releases and has this to say about Astrid Cordes - 'Hurry Up and Kiss Me While the Baby's Still Asleep":

"Conceptual in thought but gorgeous in ex*****on. After a series of EPs and a "musical diary" of her pregnancy, Cordes gives us a really great album with folk and country hints throughout, and I loved it. "Male Lead" is catchy as hell in particular, and Astrid Cordes makes sure with this record that she's someone I'll keep paying attention to."

Astrid Cordes has a hot tip for Christmas 🎁 this year :-)
https://shop.celebrationrecords.dk/

Hot tip for this years Christmas presents….! I’m stuck at home with pneumonia so I thought I’d use the opportunity to advertise giving music, merch or concert tickets as gifts for Christmas. It’s kind of double gift because you’ll also be supporting the musical escapes of the artists. You can buy my record online at Celebration Records so you won’t even have to go outside in the cold. - I also sell panties but you’re not getting a picture of me posing with those…

P.s. Am I crazy or does Surrender all of a sudden sound a bit like a Christmas song!?

"Kúlu have given us a full tasting menu in ‘Absence’, one that tells a satisfying musical story from indie start to brutal finish. If there was a ‘Prog-Noise’ category for music then ‘Absence’ would be its poster-child"

Thanks to Joyzine for your kind words and amazing rundown of the new single 'Absence' from KÚLU.

‘Absence’ is the new single from Danish post-rock/post-noise band Kúlu, and it is epic. To call this a single is to do it a disservice as it clocks in at 11 minutes and 41 seconds long.

01/12/2023

The brand new single from the Danish alt. rockband KÚLU is out now and it is 🔥🔥🔥

Once again the band challenges both themselves and their audience with the song 'Absence', clocking in almost 12 minutes long. It is an intense, pounding and amazing uncompromising rocksong and it testifies to Kúlu's total devotion to the terms of the music.

LISTEN HERE:

Go to Kúlu - Absence.

“Threatening in the lows, fragile and delicate in the highs, it creates an intimate closeness to the listener. The Dane gives us little moments of inner contemplation, which in the end send us out into the world again with a melancholy but inner peace - and with goose bumps all over our bodies.”

Another nice review of Marí - 'Making Peace With Uncertainty'

“Marí's debut moves skillfully between acoustic singer-songwriter traditions and airy, jazzy elements. The artist draws inspiration from bands such as Tindersticks, Mazzy Star, PJ Harvey and Big Thief. The result is a mesmerizing sound that hovers between darkness and light, transporting listeners into a unique atmosphere. With "Making Peace With Uncertainty", Marí enters the stage of the Danish indie scene and shows great international potential.”

Another review in from Sounds & Books.

“On her debut album "Making Peace With Uncertainty", Danish songwriter Marí seduces with wonderful Nordic folk. Sometimes she is reminiscent of Big Thief, sometimes of PJ Harvey - with "Periphery", "Reptile" and "UNcertainty", the three most impressive songs on the album, even both together. An amazingly impressive album. Nordic folk par excellence.”

“Song by song, spaces of intimate experience are created between longing, tenderness and pain. The soundscapes are like protective vests made of silk; the more delicate and dazzling the instrumentation, the greater the sense of security around the melancholy vocals.”

kulturnews also share some nice words about the debut album 'Making Peace Wioth Uncertainty' from Marí.

Marí erforscht auf ihrem melancholischen Debütalbum die Möglichkeiten, in einer Welt sozialer Erwartungen innerlich frei zu bleiben.

BRF1 has showcased Marí's new album on the show 'Chansons, Lieder und Folk'. Thank you 🇩🇪 ❤️

“For a debut, "Making Peace With Uncertainty" is of great maturity. The music has a haunting, meditative depth, Marí's vocals are haunting with colorful darkness and are reminiscent of Romy Madley Croft from The xx. Acoustic elements swirl with airy, jazzy melodies to create a sound of light and shadow.”

Listen here (about 24 min. in.):

1933 hat der dänische Schriftsteller Aksel Sandemose in seinem Roman "En flyktning krysser sitt spor" das Jantegesetz beschrieben, zehn Gebote, die alle das Gleiche fordern: "Stell dich nicht über andere". Marís Debütalbum kreist um diese Idee.

Good because Danish shares the video for the opening track of Denni Ian's sophomore album 'Salt King' and they seem to like it.

"The guitar-driven melody, in combination with deep, scratchy vocals that made us think of Tom Waits are a perfect combination. Expecially when you expand the sound by delicate, whispering female vocals and mix two different worlds of singing together. There is melancholy, but also resilience in "I Plan to Run Out of Darkness", and it ressonates throughout the whole album."

The album is out now and available for streaming and on vinyl here:

Sasha Adrian - 'Token' EP out now 🔥🔥🔥

Standing on the shoulders of her generation of indie-artists, Sasha Adrian dives into unconventional themes, such as violence, betrayal and self-love through distorted guitars, and honest melodies. ’Token’ is, in its essence a token. A token carrying memories, good and bad, from years full of change and turmoil.

"Sasha Adrian has a talent for tugging at the heartstrings"(Grimy Goods) "It's a stark and bruising introduction to Sasha Adrian, yet one that lingers in the memory" (For The Rabbits)

Huge shoutout and a giant thank you to everybody who came out to the release show at Spillestedet Stengade last night. We love you all.
