The Puddle Parade - origami
a surprising CD by a German musician living in Utrecht, containing 35 minutes of very minimal, hissy and adventurous popsongs. Her influences range from experimental analogue electronics to mid-nineties lo-fi, with melodic sound-sketches put together as an audio-notebook. For fans of f.i. Colleen, Lau Nau, Mt. Eerie, Vollmar, Iditarod, Machinefabriek, Tara Jane O'Neil, or anything on Morc Records really.
"Sharron Kraus ha scritto una pagina indimenticabile del folk inglese ... Un disco che desta stupore e meraviglia a ogni ascolto. 8/10" - Ondarock
"...Taking traditional folk music as her starting point, Kraus adds a sense of innovation that's often startling. The end result is a record that truly updates a fine tradition for modern ears. Recommended. 4/5" - Uncut
"Dear Sharron, I'm writing these lines just to let you know that your album has made my life so much better... 9/10" - Foxy Digitalis
"Rappresenta il vertice del western folkwriting italiano, e la cura con cui si adopera per ogni minimo particolare non è di questo mondo, ripagando essa stessa il prezzo del biglietto: The Child of A Creek trasuda verità" - Blow Up
Hey just tried to call you... Micah P. at Unwound tonight!! You must be the only person in Italy with the Essex Green as one of your favourite bands...hmmm dunno if that's a good thing or a bad thing.... hope you are well...we should get together sometime and make plans to destroy the record industry as we know it...what do you think??
"E' nato un nuovo talento in casa Blackest Rainbow [...] Cameron Deas realizza quello che non è riuscito a fare l'ultimo Blackshaw: la semplicità del sublime.(8)" - Gino Dal Soler
"Hurray. Nice experimental work inspired by John Fahey and Robbie Basho. Lord, please kill all that modern post-rock-ambient-shoegaze" - XO8OUIU
"this is really rather good. It's some bloody good 12 string guitar action that immoderately has us making comparisons to James Blackshaw. However Cameron Deas' approach to the instrument is his own with the first track building from gentle sounds into a crescendo of intensity and energy. If you like your guitar music like Sir Richard Bishop, Ben Nash, Jack Rose, Stefan Basho Jungens etc then this is a worthy addition to your collection" - Norman Records
"Tolling, ebbing, electric like a pulsing breeze blowing random natural and manmade objects in some desolate weed punctured concrete corner. Englishman Jack Allett pulls pokes and prods his electric guitar with varying degrees of intensity on this short two part recording. His multi tracked strings stretch and bend the first track into desolate soundscapes, bone thin improvised melodies, and abstract noisedrone. Track two features a heavily processed guitar pulse around which acoustic picking, vocalized melodies, and anorexic electric guitar drift and mutate. Spoono follows in the footsteps of a myriad of solo guitar experimentalists and steps just enough outside of the lines to establish his own identity within the field. Hopefully longer recordings are to follow and he can fully blaze the trail that his guitar has cut for him. 7/10" - foxy digitalis
"The Ridings draws together strands of guitar and delicate electronics....by embedding lightly sculpted six string textures in a tapestry of field recordings and plugin tweaks".
Includes full length bonus CD of remixes courtesy of Bracken, The Declining Winter, Part Timer, aus, Epic45, Portal, Gareth S Brown, Fieldhead, Glen Shipley, Winter North Atlantic and Yuri Lugovskoy.

Grazie davvero..sei molto gentile!!Il "vestito" del cd l'ho fatto tra le imprecazioni con la stampante di mio fratello tipo in un'ora.è stata un'impresa paragonabile alla guerra dei cent'anni.ahaha.
"savvy weirdness and wonderful tunes ... this champion of experimental noise and classic pop unites both on a debut album that bypasses the Norwegian space disco of label co-owner Hans-Peter Lindstrøm 4/5" - Spin
"pretty much unprecedented ... Leone takes musical hairpin turns with such mischievous glee that you can visualize the Road Runner blithely zipping across jagged mountain highways as Wile E. Coyote tumbles off cliff after cliff ... cartoony and chaotic and perversely cute" - Village Voice
"a leftfield-pop classic ... unexpected transitions, unusual electronic embellishments, and melodies of unearthly beauty and intrigue ... 9/10 + staff pick" - XLR8R
"I'm happy that music like this is being made. More than a promising debut, Dominique Leone is one of the best releases of the year" - Dusted
"this debut is awesome because it really does sound like the midpoint between the Beatles and the Boredoms" - CMJ
