jon of the atom is impossible to put into any boxes. His music is consistently unpredictable, songs that waltz and bounce back and forth between your headphones, going from rolling Indie rock to spaced out folk to experimental sounds of things you feel but can't quite put into words and further. From time to time I put his albums on to fill some space in my brain - Atomic Music (2004), Holy Zombie Jesus (2005), My Life In Groton (2006), and An "Off" Day For The Jews Harp Christmas Caroler (2006) - I always find something I'd never noticed before, a complicated line simply put, or a clarinet that sounds like it has broken free from the band, like Radiohead playing Motown, or the ghost of Woody Guthrie rushing for and missing his bus. I once had a dream that he was going to "Atomize" my songs and I was smiling. It's something really special when a musician can sing his way into your dreams. -S. Wheelies 2007

"There's beautiful songs on there. Well written and arranged, well performed with competant vocalists. Maybe too many people listening are musicians who are too involved with their own trips to notice. "Roll it Up" is a masterpiece. Sir Martin, the Moth Song and other's... like the first track. I'm bad with names,I throw it in the CD player and that's it. What the hell's wrong with everybody? Blows away most unsigned music on myspace, easily. I would have paid for Spaniard. You must know it's pretty damn good on some level." - Some Guy

Every once in a while a record lands in your life and blows you away. This is one of those records - an intelligent and heartfelt collection of folk-psychedelics, with songs that will linger in your mind like ghosts long after they have played. Dublin's THE LOADED WHISPERS are probably as great as lo-fi musicians get, combining the brilliant poetry of Jeremiah James and the unmistakeable mind-blowing voice of Syd Lane, over fuzzy stripped-back psych guitar and dancing piano keys. "Artists Use Lies To Tell The Truth" is a perfect introduction to what they do, with so many stand-out tracks that all you can do is let the record play out from beginning to end. And that really is the truth.
A 19 track sampler featuring a song from each of the 19 Quixodelic Records we've released in the last year. From rock and roll space psychedelics to twee indie folk/pop.

Now this is exciting. Been a long time since we first heard and were blown away by River Speak English's "Puzzle Piece" on Daydream Generation 2. A year and a half later and we're made up to be hosting one half of the aforementioned collaboration's debut record. "Well Under Thirty" is a collection of Bob Dylan covers by Sucks To LaLa Land's Keith Crain - as well as being a beautiful introduction to this talented singer/songwriter, it's arguably as great a collection of Dylan covers as I've ever heard. Listening to the 8 tracks featured was like discovering Bob Dylan all over again.
