After a string of head-turning, critically acclaimed releases on Hush Records, Portland's Loch Lomond has brought their unique brand of raw symphonic chamber pop to Tender Loving Empire. Loch Lomond released their much anticipated second full length 'Little Me Will Start A Storm' earlier this year.
The album was mixed by Adam Selzer (who has recorded all of M Ward's records), Tucker Martine (Laura Veirs, The Decemberists), Kevin Robinson (of Viva Voce), and Jeff Stuart Saltzman. The stunning track "Elephants & Little Girls," the first single, is available to listen to right now!
In addition to employing notable visceral and expert melodic acrobatics, the co-ed sextet of Loch Lomond distinctly incorporates the use of vibraphone, piano, guitars, mellotron, clarinet, flute, drums, bass, and other sonic treatments to foil the even more distinct and arresting voice of lead singer/multi-instrumentalist Ritchie Young. He's able to switch from high-pitched fragility to alto thunder in the turn of a phrase, yet he knows the power of restraint intuitively, saving vocal tornadoes for emotional apexes buoyed by string swells and moving arrangements.
Birmingham band Goodnight Lenin Formed in the autumn of 2009, Their songs are reminiscent of the singer songwriters of the 1960s & 1970s, whilst still being relevant to the modern day listener. Inspired by Dylan, Young and Simon & Garfunkel, they constantly strive to deliver honest, experience based lyrics that flow along into their carefully crafted sound that seamlessly crosses genres.
The City Walls are a rock n roll folk duo that deserve attention from anyone who holds music dear. Taking their cue from musical heroes such as Neil Young, Bob Dylan, The Band and Ron Sexsmith, The City Walls have been drawing comparisons to the likes of modern day acoustic wielders such as Bon Iver, Mumford & Sons and The Tallest Man On Earth at their explosive yet intimate live shows. They weave a multi instrumental rock n roll folk rock sound of acoustic guitar, mandolin, banjo, violin and heavenly harmonies through tunes dripping with rock n roll passion and immediacy.
All We Are are the new Liverpool based Alt-Pop-Psychedelic-Folk Trio given the thumbs up by Tom Waits at the International Songwriting Competition 2011! UK/Liverpool band All We Are is a neatly matched trio of musicians Rich, Guro & Luis. Their three part vocal harmonies and kettle-whistling guitar float over flowery bass and hypnotic drums that rise from soft and haunting, to driving anthemic endings and electrifying live shows.
A kaleidoscopically spinning soundtrack to your reccurring daydream… All We Are have now written and filmed their second EP in a cabin in Norway to be released in late 2011-early 2012, and touring the UK and Europe with Stealing Sheep and Love Inks.
