TWINKRANES
Twinkranes specialise in coded psychedelia and zone out progressive pop music. In November 2009 the Dublin based electronic outfit released their debut long player – “Spektrumtheatresnakes” to critical acclaim. The LP melds the worlds of motor driven kraut, space rock, psychedelia, drone and avant pop.
ABOUT SPEKTRUMTHEATRESNAKES
“… a fantastically unhinged mix of speeded-up krautrock rhythms, dirty drones and wonky synthesizers, which is at once weird and danceable and very pop.” 9/10
NME
“After four stabs of organ, High Tekk Train Wreck sprints away from the lights with a squeal of wheelspin, its *motorik soundling like a customised and tuned Ford Focus on a suburban *estate rather than a sedately cruising BMW on the autobahns.” 4/5
THE GUARDIAN
“Twinkranes have commendably taken it upon themselves to filter Krautrock’s weighty influences through the sensuous prism of pop and dance music.” 4/5
RECORD COLLECTOR
“Their debut album is primetime psych rock lunacy, a heart stopping barrage of frenzied krautrock rhythums, extraterrestrial synth strops, technicolored guitars and monster monster grooves.” 4/5
THE IRISH TIMES
For those of you that like your music to be intense and cerebral, you’ll love Spektrumtheatresnakes. Despite the multitude of influences, it is a truly unique album, and timeless too. This could’ve been recorded at any point in the last 40 years and it would still sound contemporary, yet futuristic. An exciting and intriguing debut.

TEARIST
Tearist are an amazing two-piece band from Los Angeles, CA. They are comprised of William and Yasmine, two kids looking to weave goth, disco, noise and rock into a slithering snake for your earhole.
-------
Incredible, bruised and tortured darkwave debut courtesy of LA's Tearist. Their exceptional self-titled entry is simply one of those records that grips from the start and doesn't let go until you're in the clear. It's the work of two hugely promising individuals; Yasmine Kittles, collaborator with Former Ghosts and in possession of a husky vocal tone somewhere between a full ashtray and Zola Jesus, and William, who we can only assume is responsible for the synths and devilish drum machine programming. Opening to the sounds of Halloween-theme synths and Factory Floor-strength machine pulses on 'Long Cold' we catch the first glimpse of Yasmine's wraith-like vocals, but it's the emotive U2 cadences and Siouxsie yelps combined with jagged gothic drums in 'Headless' that will really catch your breath. Again, we're smitten with her husky tone writhing in the C&C styled 'Lo V' and she's perfectly suited to the stern EBM jack of 'End Flux'. By the end of 'Closest', it's confirmed, we've got a new favourite coldwave band to pin on our wall next to Cold Cave, Zola Jesus and The Soft Moon. Factor in a gorgeous embossed sleeve and this is hugely recommended.

BOYS OF SUMMER
Boys of Summer is a Dublin based synthesizer trio made up of Paul G. Smyth (The Jimmy Cake), Ivan Pawle (Sea Dog) and Andrew Fogarty (Toymonger, Reptile Brain) on the Munitions Family label. The group uses analogue synthesizers and tape delays to create a contemporary electronic sound, which draws from early German Electronic Experimentalists such as Tangerine Dream and Cluster; Minimalist artists like Terry Riley and Brian Eno; 70s American Synth artists (Michael Garrison and Mort Garson, etc).
Originally formed in 2004 by Pawle and Fogarty, the duo performed sporadically for a number of years, focusing mostly on their participation other projects - Sea Dog, Toymonger, United Bible Studies and various other projects. In 2008 the relaunched Boys of Summer were joined by Paul G Smyth (The Jimmy Cake) and have continued to perform with international artists such as Cluster, Xeno & Oaklander, Led Er Est, Rangda, Stellar Om Source, Grouper, John Wiese, Pocahaunted, Sun Araw, Lucky Dragons and Gnod; as well as local acts Sunken Foal, Cian Nugent, Children Under Hoof and Slomatics and many others, in galleries, bars, sheds and kitchens around Ireland.
To date the group has released three albums on the Dublin-based Munitions Family label; 'V' (2008), 'Pharaoh' (2009) and 'Future Ancients' (2010).

CATSCARS
AKA Robyn Bromfield has just released her debut album Construction on White Plague records. A collection of experimental electronic, gothic pop, reflecting mixed and often conflicting traits, sensitive and ambient yet defiant and aggressive.

GREAT LAKES MYSTERY
In between writing scores for film and guesting on live drums and percussion for artists such as Jape, Valerie Francis, Primordial and So Cow, Gareth Averill began to set focus on what would become Great Lakes Mystery. Great Lakes Mystery represents an obsession with vintage analogue equipment and a quest for a pure accessible sound.
Having played low key shows supporting the Redneck Manifesto and Jape, the live GLM show is constantly evolving and has recently led to an expanded line-up. The turn of 2011 saw a New Years eve launch of sorts with a low key dispersal of tracks online. In the first half of the year, GLM is hoping to release a pair of EPs followed by an LP in the Autumn.
Influences include Arthur Russell, Prince, Caribou, Broadcast and John Carpenter.
