Celebrating their 10th anniversary as a band, Oxford Drama think that they’re only getting started. Constantly searching for new possibilities and learning new instruments, Oxford Drama’s rule is to sound however they please, at the same time giving their audience a sense of familiarity. This Polish duo has been praised by the press as a band that sticks to their own beliefs. After releasing their third album „What’s The Deal With Time?” in 2021, which gathered great reviews, the band performed on numerous Polish and European festivals. Their growth as musicians was noted, both live and in the studio environment. Now, Oxford Drama are back with their fourth album. ‚The World is Louder’ consists of the loudest and most punk songs they ever recorded (‘More and More’, ‘Ought to Know’) and also the quietest and most cinematic ones (‘Six Feet Under’, ‘Meditation 1’), neither of which a coincidence. The world is louder than it used to be, and sometimes it’s even louder than your own thoughts, but the Polish duo found themselves at ease both in an ecstatic dance and a meditative state.

She rests on her tradition,  relies on the genealogy of the working women in her life and in her suburban childhood, to draw a flowery bridge between past, present and future, which gives her music an unmistakable character.

Yans is a Polish electronic band that mixes classic house beat with a synth sound, spatial guitars and a funk groove. It’s a mix of influences as well as ‘live’ instruments with a club set which leads to rhythmic, trance mysteries enriched by lightning and visualisations when the band performs live. It’s a fresh take on club music, but it takes inspirations from the veterans of the genre, such as GusGus, Moderat, and goes even deeper - to the 1980s and the work of synth masters, such as Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk, and Vangelis. The name of the group refers to the 1980s and the iconic comic book co-created by a Polish cartoonist - Grzegorz Rosiński. The group was formed in 2020. Since then, they’ve managed to share their debut album ‘Atlas’ with their fans. This time, six month after the release of the album, which was dominated by instrumental tracks, the band delivers a more pop sound which is a reference to the classics of the house genre and the 1990s. At the same time, YANS doesn’t abandon the synth sound to which listeners have already become accustomed.

Lucy Kruger is a singer/songwriter from Cape Town, South Africa who recently moved to Berlin. Her performance focuses on the bare bones of the songs, a slow burning psychedelic folk that is both intimate and ambient. Dreamscapes set against drones allow the stories to drift and dive, fall asleep and come to life. On September 25th this year she will release her second full length album „Sleeping Tapes for Some Girls“ through Unique Records. The new album is made to be a quiet companion for restless evenings. The album was recorded just before Lucy moved from Cape Town to Berlin in May last year. She had been quietly spinning a soft web of songs and wanted to capture the feeling before leaving. The record was made with a very specific listener in mind. For the last few years Lucy has gone to bed listening to the stories and sounds of songwriters that have became close companions, both challenging and nurturing her and eventually gifting her rest. She wanted to give something of the same to those who might need it.  The arrangements are minimal and leave space for Lucy’s voice and guitar which are present throughout - reflecting, resisting and trying to reason with conflicted thought.

German Underground Metal Titans ATLANTEAN KODEX have returned from obscurity to redefine Epic Metal with their long-awaited second album, titled „The White Goddess - A grammar of poetic myth“. "'The White Goddess‘ is a triumph of heaviness and melancholy, a monument to the spirit of underground metal and the mythology of old Europe.“, says drummer Weiss. „Our sound has grown darker and heavier, like the world has grown darker and heavier in the past few years. At the same time our 70s roots and our love for Bathory and old Manowar are still there. Imagine Quorthon raping Uriah Heep while ,Into Glory ride‘ is blasting from an old tapedeck“, adds guitar player Trummer. Indeed the band has progressed much since their debut effort „The Golden Bough“. The sound is more mature, more dramatic, more bombastic. Everything on the album spells HUGE in capital letters. While the key coordinates old Manowar (Ross the Boss-era), Bathory (Twilight-era) and obscure US Metal (Fates Warning, Cirith Ungol, Warlord...) are still dominant, the band has manage to explore new ground with „The White Goddess“. This is one of the few albums, which will leave noone cold. Formed in 2005 ATLANTEAN KODEX immediately managed to conquer the center spot of the new European Epic Metal scene with their regressive and uncompromising musical approach. Already their first demo „The Pnakotic Demos“ (2007) put them in the spotlight of fans and journalists worldwide. Not only was the demo elected „Demo of the Month“ in Germany‘s leading magazine Rock Hard, but also it opened the doors to renowned festivals such as Keep it True (Germany) or Up the Hammers (Greece) for the band. With a stable line-up including singer Becker, guitarist Koch and Trummer, bassist Kreuzer and drummer Weiss the ATLANTEAN KODEX conquered the next level with their debut album „The Golden Bough“ in 2010. The album was hailed by fans and critics as one of the best German metal albums ever, taking „album of the month“-spots in basically all leading magazines and webzines, like Rock Hard (Germany), Heavy! (Germany), Metal Hammer (Greece) and scoring top scores all over the world. More live shows in the European festival circuit followed. Among others ATLANTEAN KODEX conquered the Hammer of Doom Festival and festivals in Ireland, England, Portugal, Greece and last not least the Rock Hard Festival (Germany). Now with „The White Goddess“ the band is ready to strike once more. And judging from the tremendous Epic Metal anthems on the album, the strike will be nothing but fatal. We are the Kodex We are invincible!

In May 2018, the Mystery Of The Bulgarian Voices released their first album of new studio recordings in over two decades entitled 'BooCheeMish'. Better known to many as Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares, in ‘BooCheeMish’ the esteemed Bulgarian choir performs together with erstwhile 4AD Records label mate Lisa Gerrard (co-founder of the duo Dead Can Dance) on several tracks, thereby uniting two of the most distinctive vocal acts working in music. 'BooCheeMish' introduces 12 brand new songs written for the choir by Lisa Gerrard, the Irish composer Jules Maxwell and the Bulgarian composer Petar Dundakov, who is also the music producer of the album. While some of his tracks are fully original pieces, others are based on folklore songs and dances with original material added. 'BooCheeMish' successfully connects Bulgarian folklore with other traditions and cultures, the album manages to retain the unique identity of the voices, vocal styles and techniques of the individual choir members, even when allying them with acoustic accompaniment such as stringed instruments and various types of percussion (performed by David Kuckhermann) and even including beatbox (performed by the beatbox world champion SkilleR). The album is produced by the Bulgarian subsidiary of Schubert Music Publishing, and in most of the world it is released by the German label Prophecy Productions. Under the direction of Dora Hristova, the choir has performed over 1250 concerts outside its home territory since the late 80’s in some of the most prestigious venues in the world. Choir members have also worked with or been sampled by artists as diverse as Kate Bush, U2 and Drake. Once described as “the marriage of the avant-garde and the Middle Ages”, the magic of the ensemble stems from its success in mastering Bulgaria’s diverse, age-old vocal traditions while simultaneously sounding strikingly modern and original, thanks to the unique choral music structure - multi-part a cappella arrangements that transform its collective sound into strange colours as if something other than the human voice is being heard. Dora Hristova describes it as “a natural, piercing sound for the outdoors to carry across the  fields or from hilltop to hilltop. The sound is created in the larynx and resonates in the chest. It requires great pressure of the breath to create the sound and you must be very strong to sing in this fashion.”

Upcoming releases always excite me. Especially when they have that eclectic, driven sound. And no one fits that bill better than the German band known as Holygram. Holygram has that unique blend of retro post-punk ‘electromania’ and modernistic shoegaze introspection. This is solid #indie in it’s truest form. Holygram will be touring Europe and US/Canada this fall with one of the biggest electronic bands on the planet, VNV Nation, as well as DE/VISION for the North American tour. They will hold two release shows – the first, in Cologne on Nov. 9, marks the end of their European tour, while the Los Angeles release show on Nov. 14 (at The Viper Room) kicks off their North American tour. About Holygram & ‘A Faction’ German post-punk shoegaze outfit Holygram present ‘A Faction’ – the second single off their long-awaited debut LP ‘Modern Cults’. Comprised of eleven tracks, this album will be released on CD and double vinyl, as well as digitally via Cleopatra Records, on November 9, 2018. This news follows the lead single ‘Signals’. Prior to that, the Cologne-based outfit released their self-titled EP in 2016. Holygram cleverly blends new wave and Krautrock with post-punk and shoegaze to achieve headstrong multi-layered bliss. This is a thoroughly contemporary homage to the sound of the ’80s with a resolute look to the future – the result is driving, dark and catchy. Produced by Maurizio Baggio, who also produced The Soft Moon’s ‘Deeper’ and ‘Criminal’ albums, this long-play was recorded at Cologne’s Amen Studios. The new video for ‘A Faction’ is produced by WE OWN YOU GmbH and directed by Jan-Peter Horns with animation by Alison Flora. Holygram is Patrick Blümel (vocals), Sebastian Heer (drums), Marius Lansing (guitars), Pilo Lenger (synthesizers) and Bennett Reimann (bass). Formed in 2015, the band’s approach to making music references the past, while remaining future-oriented. Hard-to-combine elements cleverly come together to become the soundtrack of a city that appears threatening in the twilight. The new album intensifies Holygram‘s contemplation of themes such as big cities, alienation and anonymity, hope and memories, love and identity. These reflections interact closely with the band’s unmistakable signature sound. Atmosphere oscillates between the brutal sounds of the big city and the fragility of the people that lose themselves in it – intelligently observed scenarios of a world falling apart in which individuals have long ceased to play a leading role. The band recently accompanied British synthpop legends OMD on their 2017 European tour and have played numerous festivals, including Mailfeld Derby, Wave-Gotik-Treffen and New Waves Day.

As of November 9, the ‘Modern Cults’ LP will be available everywhere, but can already be ordered via Cleopatra Records on CD and vinyl, and also digitally via Bandcamp. The album will be released in Europe via Oblivion / SPV.

FTR's first album 'Horizons' was released on French label Requiem Pour Un Twister in May 2015. They are currently working on their new album, scheduled for next Autumn.
