reviews of a summer beneath the trees:
"This is the fullest, most finished-sounding Library Tapes project since it was an official duo (with Per Jardsell), and may suit listeners who need more than a few endlessly revolving piano notes better than recent offerings. For fans of Max Richter, Tim Hecker, and Eluvium, A Summer Beneath the Tress is a can't-miss album."
pitchfork

album of the week.
norman records

"A Summer Beneath The Trees is arguably a more ornately assembled body of work than previous Library Tapes releases, yet its success is determined by the same qualities that made earlier works so rewarding. There's a drifting, cinematic quality to 'The Sound Of Emptiness' (parts one and two) that goes beyond the parameters of modern classical, crossing over into more ambient terrain. Elsewhere, haunting piano figures prop up tracks like 'Above The Flood', 'The Fragile Tide' and the glorious Harold Budd-like title track. It all goes to prove that however notable his supporting cast might be, Wenngren's own performances are the ones that really count. That said, the strings sound absolutely marvelous, and utterly jubilant on 'The Modest Triumph', getting caught up with some crackly electronics towards the end, yielding especially poignant results. Wonderful compositions throughout, all meticulously performed and produced, leaving you with an album that established Library Tapes fans will adore, and newcomers can get well and truly hooked on. Excellent."
boomkat

"on A Summer Beneath The Trees the songs have more direction, more individual character across the set. ‘The Modest Triumph,’ for example, is quietly confident and positive; the fantastic, ten-minute-plus ‘…And The Rain Did Fall’ reflects on endlessly repeating notes, recalling Michael Nyman’s Greenaway film scores. This definition of character helps the album to sound warmer and more comforting than previous work, with some forays into string-led semi-ambient soundscapes suggesting a combination of the feelings engendered by Rachel’s, Godspeed! You Black Emperor and even Mike Oldfield, when glockenspiel and a distant trumpet come into play and the arrangements become more complex. It’s certainly music to create feelings."
diskant

"It is so gratifying to find a record that is so full of subtlety. Often, modern music is almost too immediate. Listeners and musicians alike have become accustomed to music that is more about functions of melody or tempo or simple loud-soft dynamics; a lot of good music has come out of this trend, from jazz to metal to electronic to most of what we affectionately call "post-rock." For me, though, it's nice to find a modern artist that hints at the classical roots of western music with meticulous harmonies and dynamics that can be called "mezzo-" or "-issimo." The bottom line is that Library Tapes has offered up a record that surprised me. A week after acquiring and listening to this album, I still hadn't warmed up to it. A little digging, though, proved it to be an absolute treasure, capable of fitting in with the likes of Ravel or Erik Satie just as easily as Efterklang."

Out now on He Of The House Media

HOTHCOMP001
We'll Leave the Lights On


He Of The House's very first (of many) compilation. Nineteen tracks from twenty artists, the end result of which is possibly one of the most diverse compilations I've ever heard. From soft spoken acoustic folk to raving, churning dirge tunes; from a noisy, industrial cover of a Sonic Youth song to oldschool punk from when it was still raw, fast, and unforgiving. Powerviolence peppers the grounds where spooked whispers whinny along, and the caustic words of a madman festering in his own mind play out over perpetually plucked guitar strings. A true honour it is to work with these amazing artists, and I do hope we can keep them coming back for years.

Featuring: Zombie Battle Axe, xHaroldShitmanx, Kro & Jason "EVIL" Covelli, Nemesism, Ginny Greenteeth, Don't Move, Spiral Vertigo, Chachi On Acid, Mike Bruno, Autopia, Dead Kid Harvester, Jason "EVIL" Covelli, Karmakumulator, Chelsea Wolfe, RedSK vs. teh soup rebellion, Torturing Nurse, Sleepers, Flea McGruff

Housed in handmade & handpainted paper jackets with individually original black tissue cutouts, enclosed with a button. Featuring full page insert artwork by Jason "EVIL" Covelli and a blurb about each band/artist from myself.
Limited to 45 handnumbered copies.

For more information, tracklisting, artwork, and information on future compilations, as well as a wealth of other fun tidbits, visit

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.

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.
