Sister/Brother label to our friends at Lefse, Waaga Records has just releases a free compilation of their “artists to watch for” for 2010. The comp includes a few local heroes (Sunnybrook, FUR and Abacus) as well as many others that, although unfamiliar, will be on my radar. From “hypnagogic” strolls to folk-y serenades, Waaga has pieced together something for everyone in this mix.
Soft Cat – It Won’t Be Long
FUR – Black Castles
White Mountains – Trails
==============
Also, I’d like to add that once Denton homer–B-more relocated–Soft Cat looks to release his upcoming Wildspace in the very near future. With “It Won’t Be Long” as one of the feature cuts.

From their Meal Deal Records blog, Alex of A Grave With No Name has just given word of their digital EP, Saskia/You’re Gone. There are shades of their more ambient/atmospheric sides on their upcoming LP with Lefse but there are some ‘heavier’ aspects peppered in as well. This 7″ is totally in the sky and available for a free download.

J Lynch just pointed the brilliantly textured “Sister” in my direction in the late hours of the night. Building upon layers and layers and finally blossoming into some sort of rare orchid with jungle shakes and jazzy clarinet, this is one of my favorite Jules tunes to date. Lefse Records is set to drop this on a split 7″ with Sad City who is also expected to have his version of a “Sister” on the other side.

Aside from his umpteen stellar remix gems (Animal Collective, Panda Bear, Banjo or Freakout, etc.) I was made aware of Phaseone’s solo tunes a week or so ago on GvsB. It’s no secret that he [Phaseone] has his entire album up for grabs, but Matt from Lefse Records just brought to my attention that they have now signed, yet, another great artist. If all you’ve heard are his remixes, do your self a favor and grab Thanks But No Thanks, sit back, and enjoy. Still skeptical? Here’s a couple of tracks to help make up yr mind. Click here for the album.
Phaseone – Fist Fulla Dollas
Phaseone – Cadence + Athena

Thorir Georg Jónsson’s latest solo project, My Summer As a Salvation Soldier, is a complete 180 from his other Icelandic bands (i.e. Hrydjuverk). “Monuments”, is absolutely minimal but still progresses throughout the duration of the track. Just as distant as Jónsson appears to be from the mic. His latest LP, The Devils, is set for release this November via Lefse Records (home to the “highly bloggable” Neon Indian).
