Mina Tindle

Mina Tindle

Mina Tindle hails from Paris and this is an advance of her debut studio album, due for release in 2012. This is acoustic poetic folk fleshed out with samplers. The single “To Carry many small things” is very easy to listen to but a lot more difficult to get out of your head. But there is even better on offer here, particularly when she strips away any outer shell on “Echoes” and “Plein nord”.

Giranice

Giranice

We came across Orio band Giranice’s record in Bandcamp. They are very much in the post rock mode with long songs and lots of instruments. You’ll find different levels of intensity on this five-track record, check out “Rapid heart movement” to see what we mean. The driving violin on the songs creates sound landscapes the really give the band character.

Triz3ps

Triz3ps

Triz3ps is the organic return of Javi Pez. He’s packed away his usual artifices and formed a three-piece with Alberto Bosch and Oriol Flores. This is soul full of groove that really grows and can be heard on songs like “Trifünka”. These songs of soul, melody, warmth and emotion will have you dancing into the future instead of reminiscing of the past.

The hereafter

Supersweet

Supersweet’s debut is one of those records that grabs your attention from the very first listen. This band, made up of musicians who have played in Chico Boom and Señor No, play very 60s-sounding songs. There’s pop and psychedelia and the end result can be heard on the powerful single “Cross road”. As electric as they are amazing.

Grooo!!!

Porco Bravo

When you mix high energy eta sultry rock n’ roll, you get Porco Bravo. This is the Barakaldo band’s first long player and without straying too far from influential Turbonegro, they are here with a packed album under their arms. This band burn on stage and really should be enjoyed live. Now, thanks to this record, we’ll be able to sing along to their songs the next time we see them play. Dirty and loveable.

The Great Barrier

The Great Barrier

The band The Great Barrier from Uribe Kosta have recorded a four-track EP. They mix plenty of different styles and the outcome are colourful songs like “Really”. They have a curious way of mixing folk and pop and the most outstanding moment here, with the permission of “When the loves goes fine”, is the mysterious and personal “Come back!”.
