Jeff McLeod "Ever Stretching Shadow" - raw & electric guitar album

Download Album

Jeff McLeod is a self-described "goofy sort of experimentalist," that takes you into a world of swirling guitars and elongated feedbacks reminding you of James Iha's own feedback sample in Drown, albeit less consistent but more raw.

Ever Stretching Shadows contemplates and captures the mood of a man sitting down with nothing but his instrument and amp reverb; tinkering away and forgetting that somewhere a record button is turned on. Made from a live field recording, the artist recorded 100 tracks, narrowing it to his top 6 and creating this 25 minute raw and eclectic guitar album.

Shatterhand - Fusing Alternative and Progressive Music

Download Album

Making alternative and pop rockers happy again by fusing elements of progressive rock, world music and alternative, Shatterhand is the brainchild of James Pink and Neil Mavor.

...anabase* "Le bonheur flou Le bonheur flou" - so good, you won't notice the language barrier

Download Album

shapeimage_5People often ask me how many languages I speak, simply because my music collection holds so many international artists who don't sing in English. But to tell the truth, I don't require a song to be sung in a language I understand, in order for me to be able to connect with it.

If you never thought you could get into music in any language other than English, I urge you to give Anabase's Le Bonheur Flou a try.
