Picadilly Records

Grouper (US) has her latest – Dragging A Dead Deer Up A Hill – of three albums on Type Records. She has also been involved in collaborative releases, contributing a track to Xiu Xiu’s Remixed & Covered and four tracks to a split release with Inca Ore. Her other contemporaries are Belong, Growing, Tim Hecker, Windy & Carl and Atlas Sound.

Jasper TX (Sweden), with a hefty back-catalogue of releases on labels such as Miasmah, and collaborations with buddy Machinefabriek, is an essential domestic appliance in the household of conceptual music. He is comparable to artists Fennesz, Sigur Ros, Múm and Tape.

Intricate and atmospheric songsmith, Danny Saul (UK) performs with different combinations of musicians, making each gig a unique event. His forthcoming release is "Harsh, Final", and he also performs with Greg Haines as Liondialer.

Fieldhead (UK) music delights in tape hiss, bleak landscapes and decaying analogue loops. He is also a member of The Declining Winter and Glissando. His debut album, "They Shook Hands for Hours" is released soon on Home Assembly.

Hello. Please do delete this comment if you so wish.

We're just making sure that everyone knows that our debut album 'Horses For Courses' is available to buy from our little record label's online shop:

http://www.donttellclare.co.uk/shop.htm

Its been selling faster than we expected, and we currently only have around a quarter of our stock left - so we thought we'd better you all know that if you want a copy then now would be a good time to pick one up! If you buy it from the link above then you're buying it direct from us, the label aren't taking a cut - so its a bit like Fair Trade for struggling musicians.

International mail-order is available, just follow the instructions.

Thank you very much, and sorry for making a mess of your profile. If its any kind of consolation, we don't have a MySpace bot, so I'm leaving these comments the old fashioned way. Three -and-a-half thousand of them. My life is so exciting.

Lots of love
Das Wanderlust

Yay! I'm so obsessed with the idea of making up a banjo part for my new song! In fact, I have one in my head constantly - in my head, it's going to be a bit like Toxic Girl by Kings of Convenience, which I have also been walking around singing a lot! I'm so happy to have broken the cycle of songs about doomed love affairs! I could come to Withington on Saturday or Sunday daytime? By the way, that Cubase CD doesn't work - my computer just doesn't recognise it at all! Pangea was WEIRD. It would have been improved by you playing, but the sound was terrible! Rogue was really cool, except one of the artists was giving out something called a Turbo Vimto - some kind of homemade spirits - which incapacitated me a little! I was supposed to be going to Underachievers on Saturday, and to the Weezer party - it seems like everyone I know went! - but in the end I just got overwhelmed by choice that I didn't do anything at all and stayed in my house!
