Mahler's 2nd

Marco Mahler

From: Portland, Oregon, United States

There is beauty in simplicity and the music of Marco Mahler is simply beautiful. It takes guts to be gentle and kind, the music of Marco Mahler has guts, it's gentle and kind. In an era when mass produced, conveyor belt, corporate rock is killing music the world needs music that is natural, home produced and organic. Step forward Marco Mahler.

Marco is about to release his second album 'Laptop Campfire Speed' and it's simple, it's beautiful, it's gentle, it's kind. it's home produced, it's organic. It sounds like Nick Drake indulging in some mild frottaging at a Pavement gig.

Antarctica Takes It!
From: Bay Area, California
United States

If you own California lo-fi sextet Antarctica Takes It!'s first album, then you'll know that songwriter Dylan McKeever is an incurable romantic. The band's debut was awash with magical songs that conjure up the ghosts of late 60s pioneers like Love and Nick Drake, 80s visionaries like Martin Stephenson & The Daintees and Aztec Camera and more recent arch romantics such as Sufjan Stevens, The Decemberists and Belle & Sebastian.

The band's debut, a clattering, charming lo-fi masterpiece, was recorded directly into the internal mic of Dylan's laptop. This clearly sold enough copies for him to be able to afford a microphone and some time in a proper studio, because the band's new album Constellations takes the lo-fi spirit of their debut and introduces it to all the clarity, beauty and sparkling perfection that the modern recording process can offer without losing any of it's charm. The album also broadens the palette with the lo-fi indie being expanded to include soaring Aislers Set-style pop, gorgeous Beach Boys-esque harmonising, the kind of stumbling, good-hearted folk that Bright Eyes might have produced in recent years, and a joyous, wild-eyed, creatively-ablaze energy that has you wondering what the hell he's going to do next.
