timeless indiepop with beautiful melodies and a pinch of melancholy
visions.de:: „Das Quintett aus der Schweiz weiß ganz genau, wie man melodischen Poprock mit atmosphärischer Weite und einem angemessenen Hauch Indie-Feeling so auskleidet, dass es schöne, tragende Songs entstehen.“
music.ch: „Die sanften Popsongs atmen die Luft grosser Melodien und sind sehr dicht und atmosphärisch umgesetzt. Ein schönes, entspannendes Album für die ruhigen Momente im Leben.“
indierock.ch: „Mit Change gelang Frantic ein wunderschönes Indiepopalbum dessen Songs ohne Umwege direkt ins Herz gelangen und Körper und Geist besser beleben als jedes in der Werbung angepriesene Wundermittelchen."
2009:
With A Hopeful Glow frantic definitely dedicate themselves to music. A whole lot of creative work has been done at Alterna Recording Studios in Basel together with Thomas Rechberger (Lovebugs) and Philippe Laffer (Supernova, Zhivago) when recording the latest songs. Finally, on April 3rd 2009, the Bern based label Aurora Music will release the new album with professional promotion support by Lautstark. In March, the radio single “It’s All You” including a video clip will call further attention to the upcoming album. By releasing in April, interviews and media reports will come along with the summer festival season. Thanks to the great media feedback and countrywide broadcast of the previous album, A Hopeful Glow can look forward to an exciting open-air concert summer. A club tour in autumn will complete the 2009 live program.
A Hopeful Glow
Influenced by indie rock, folk and pop, frantic perform a balancing act of writing melancholic and cheerful songs with a devotion to great pop melodies. The lyrics are taken from life - they’re about love, losing orientation
or self-discovery - stories that most listeners will have experienced themselves. Content-wise the songs are tied together by the fact that a way out or at least a little hope is always implied.
The dominant part of the songs is always found in the vocals of Mike Sarbach and Michael Gysel who take turns in singing either lead or backing vocals. In spite of this alternation the 10 years of shared band history have led to today’s distinctive style.
The story so far
Since the new millennium frantic are known all over Switzerland and across the border. With their first studio album Change and their radio single “Mr. Genius” the four gentlemen and the one lady made their first steps into a successful future. After DRS3 music editors had shortlisted the band for Swiss Top, frantic was played on all important radio stations. Interviews on television and on the radio followed and the band was seen on various stages in Switzerland such as the Summerdays Festival or the Blue Balls Lucerne just to mention two. At the same time positive critiques in magazines and internet forums helped to allure 24’000 friends at Myspace and to win over 6000 listeners of last.fm from all over the world.

Im März des Jahres 2009 brannte das De Prins in Essen aus. Jenes
Etablissement hatten Stefan und Michael bis dahin als eine Verlängerung
ihrer eigenen Wohnungen begriffen und fühlten sich somit durch die
notgedrungene Schließung desselben empfindlich gestört. Das Lied "De
Prins" produzierten sie, um den Verantwortlichen Mut zur
Wiedereröffnung zu machen und somit eine Lücke im Essener Nachtleben
möglichst schnell wieder zu schließen.

Adviruz is the artist psedonym of Istanbul’s Pinar Gurcan, whose growing passion for sound is translated through her music. Since an early age, she has been listening and mimicking opera singers, writing melodies, songs and poems in which she spoke her mind and reflected her soul. All of which are evident on "Nightly Sounds", an 8 track album which is the equivilent of having a glimpse into a diary, learning of love lost, gained, a snapshot of the human condition from which we can all draw experience... All of these things are developed musically into minimalistic glitch, noise, idm, experimental music and microsounds, its influences reminiscent of work by artists like Tujiko Noriko, Mira Calix, Plaid and Björk.
Adviruz and Section 27 present "Nightly Sounds", an intricately woven and rewarding musical tapestry. Available now for free download.
If you could, please spare a moment to enjoy the newest work from Oakland-based musician Dave Smallen. His new album titled 'Everything Changes and Nothing Changes' will be available everywhere on December 1st.
