BLAINBIETER - nicer dogs
After 4 years in studio BLAINBIETER come back with a furious, disturbing album, that lingers between post- and punk-rock. Noisy guitar feedbacks meet banjo-melodies, distorted vocal shouts are contrasted by atmospheric cello-sounds. This is not easy listening, but finest psychodelica, that reaches your heart and your brain.

VINCENT - it´s only wasteland, mum!
This is the long anticipated debut of the duo VINCENT, consisting of Joao Orecchia and Tobias Vethake. Multiple analog instruments give these atmospheric masterpieces a unique, folk-like attitude, that is combined with electronic soundscapes. Hovering somewhat between The Notwist and Tom Waits, VINCENT create a new genre: folktronica.

BYE BYE BERLUSCONI! - (O.S.T)
This is the music for the highly controversal italian movie
`Bye, Bye, Berlusconi!` by Jan Henrik Stahlberg.
Among others it`s mainly The Phirefones that create musical
style that makes this movie so strange and yet so authentic.
Lingering between Ennio Morricone and The Notwist, The Phirefones
combine witty and tiny sounds with big italian melodies.
One leading member of the Phirefones is Tobias Vethake
(aka.Sicker man).

This second Blankrecords sampler features live tracks by Sicker Man,
Fotomaton, Vincent, Mini Pops Junior and Blankmusic. This
compilation once again explores the possibilities of electro-acoustic
improvisation. With soaring melodies and cracking atmosphere, it is
difficult to believe this music was made purely with live instruments and
without computers.

Sicker Man - The Subtle Life
The second album by Sicker Man is a perfect meeting of ambient and
pop. The same delicate exchange between atmosphere and textures
we heard on his debut, Duive Moro, combine with vocals, beats and
broken rhyrhms that closer resemble unhealthy machinery than
imitation drums.

João Orecchia – Motherless Brooklyn
This is the first solo album of electro-acoustic guitarist João Orecchia.
Touching on the experimental, the poptastic, the soundscape and the
beat, the result has a beautiful and sometimes epic quality. Motherless
Brooklyn
explores ideas of `home, homelessness and the feeling of
displacement`through a narrative of epic beauty.

Blankmusic - Quality is Punk
This Blankrecords sampler contains music that is inherently both
acoustic and electronic. Virtually void of beats, Quality is Punk proudly
occupies an undefined space, hovering between noise and melody,
hiss and archestral depth.

Fotomaton - Live at NBI
This one sided vinyl release puts you in one of Berlin`s famous
wandering clubs, dimly lit and smokey, with Fotomaton beautifully
clashing acoustic instruments and turntables noise. Improvised,
atmospheric and mischievous, Live at NBI captures Fotomaton`s
expertise at it`s best.
