digipak. THE MINERVA CONDUCT are hailed as a supergroup in India with members of DEMONIC RESURRECTION, GUTSLIT and ALBATROSS coming together to create something unique. For too long Indian bands have played well within the confines of the extreme metal genre and what is tried and tested, but finally here is a metal band that's daring to expand the perception of the genre as a whole. Forward-thinking and cutting-edge, their progressive music deals with clever experimentation and even the incorporation of subtle layers of atmosphere to elevate the experience beyond the ordinary. The more you listen to this album, the more you will get enamored by it. With a gorgeous artwork adorning the instrumental music, and with drumming and synth done by ENTHEOS, ex-ANIMALS AS LEADERS member Navine Koperweis, this is a world class album that should be heard by all fans of contemporary metal music.

This record could just as easily be called In A Sunny South Pasadena Living Room or In A Tin-Roofed Hut On A Remote Island In Winter, the settings where cult acclaimed songwriter Nicholas Krgovich wrote the elegant new album In An Open Field. It is the result of Krgovich emptying out his life and committing to songwriting as a daily practice; sip coffee, make toast, sit at the piano and just hoping that the clock hands spin and at the end of the day there’s a new demo to listen to while making dinner and settling down to quiet evenings of re-runs and the occasional whiskey. I was interested in exhausting all of my tricks, he says of his most lived-in and clear record to date, just write and write and write to see if I could get to the bottom of something. But I don’t think that’s how things work. The bottom just keeps opening up and there’s always some more murk floating down there. He continues In the end I wasn’t hoping to master anything, or put the top on the pyramid. I just wanted to make stuff and flow and see what happens. After filling up boxes with songs and sketches, In An Open Field was born. Tracked with a live band in Coventry, UK, consisting of Mason Le Long, Joe Carvell and Matthew Rheeston overdubbed in Los Angeles, CA and Vancouver, BC, the record flows with a sophisticated, assured grace that in Steely Dan-like fashion belies the listless melancholy and knottiness found throughout the lyric sheet. Krgovich expresses the anxiety of the age in a way that is somehow both brutal and gentle. People have their phones and the internet, if there is a moment, they go to a screen and it is a constant turning away from not knowing, turning away from a lack of meaning and getting comfortable in moving through the world with no reference, no anchor point beyond the thin veneer of culture. This record came from Krgovich looking at the thing he was doing, while he was doing it, and openheartedly going Why? What’s the point? What is the elusive thing I’m searching for? If I write a great song, so what? What is my music directed at? An audience? Myself? And if an audience hears this and loves me for it, then what?. In An Open Field is a dropping of the phone and explores a widespread existential crisis within a personal frame in a way that is raw and direct but with a lightness and sensitivity to the uncomfortable human condition it’s addressing. Luckily, this is all wrapped up in irresistible melodies, airtight songwriting, beautifully nuanced arrangements, and buoyant performances from musicians like trombonist Peter Zummo (Arthur Russell’s frequent collaborator), legendary pedal steel player B.J. Cole, Angel Deradoorian, and psych-pop wiz Chris Cohen. From the feather-light saxophone harmonies on Country Boy to the gorgeously floaty first single My Riverboat the record is the finest work yet of a man who has built a formidable discography over the last fifteen years with groups No Kids, P:ano & Gigi, and collaborations with Amber Coffman (ex-Dirty Projectors), Mount Eerie and Nite Jewel (who also guests on the record). There is much to delight and turn over on In An Open Field, a gentle adventure from a master of sophisticated pop bliss. Get into it. Record Label: Tin Angel Style: Indie Pop

As comfortable performing covers versions as he ever was playing his extraordinary, self-composed numbers, the sadly departed Tom Petty was an enormous fan of pop and rock music, a factor which sustained and informed him through a 45-year career in the industry. This CD features a collection of various live recordings by Tom with and without his Heartbreakers all of which are songs he didn t write, but which are delivered with the same passion and energy as any of his homegrown tunes.

This album “Kabaret Makaber” merges 30's swing jazz with German cabaret, expressed with “punkish” intensity as well as hurtful tendernes. The songs are presented by the very skilled musicians consisting of marimba, alto saxophone, baritone saxophone, upright bass, drums and vocals. The norwegian lyrics explore the lonelyness of the nordic wild, expressed in music about sitting in driverless busses destined to somewhere unkown, a trip into dark angst. Or finding the comfort of an unkown stranger with snake skins shoes. A meeting, unsettling as well as soothing, especially since this man surely is your very own devil. And in the frenzy in trying to mend the solitude with laughter and dancing, hilarity easily shifts into cryful shouts. Record Label: Apollon Records Style: Punk / Hardcore
