It’s time.
Eight years have passed since Norwegian-Canarian one-woman band and producer WHALESHARKATTACKS (Viviana Vega) released her self-titled debut album. After years of wasting time and waiting around for nothing, WHALESHARKATTACKS has finally decided to rip the band-aid off, and drop her “difficult second album” without warning.
“Music for Pink Nights” leans more towards rap and synth pop than its dancier predecessor. The album is heavier on the atmosphere, and seasoned with field recordings from city life, but WHALESHARKATTACKS is still a MIDI punk at heart.
Thomas Meidell – …en gang skal alt dette renne ut i fjorden og forsvinne for alltid
Stream here
A collection of grainy melancholic, curious and contemplative instrumental music from the mind of Thomas Meidell, a Metronomicon Audio veteran (Now We’ve Got Members, Koppen, Mt. Mélodie) and member of instrumental rock band The Samuel Jackson Five. This is his first album under his own name.
Drawing inspiration from early tape and electronic music pioneers, new age ambient and synthy krautrock this is intuitive music made in between other projects with no listeners in mind, just for joy of creating and exploring sounds as textures
For fans of Biosphere, Fennesz, Raymond Scott & Laurie Spiegel
Stiv Heks – Kom i Form Gå i Oppløsning up for preorder! (Out des 6)
Once in a while an unique artist pops up; Stiv Heks is an artist, music puzzler and game developer from Kristiansand, Norway. As part of the duo Samvær Under Tilsün he has made a wide range of playful and technological projects such as Det Elektriske Korps, which is a non-marching band of drum machines and the augmented table tennis system called Pling Pong.
The music on his first album on Metronomicon is melancholic, naive and beatiful.
The title refers to the notion of everything is constantly coming together only to
collapse and form new structures. Wobbly warbly synths and playful melodies makes this sound like an album you heard as a kid but have rediscovered lately. These are dreamlike jingles as suprising as they are enjoyable!
Limited editon of 100 copies with three stickers! Bandcamp and LP only!
For fans of early Kim Hiortøy, the Häpna label and weird electronic music in general.
Now we’ve got Members – Shadow of the Object
Out on LP/DL now!
Imagine a swedish/bulgarian band bonding with a greek rockabilly gang, sharing an electric goat cheese to end the night at a rave in Platos cave.
This time they drove to Tønsberg to buy a reel 2 reel tape machine, the music is not exactly retro but a combo of old and new: What even is folk-rock in the 2020s?
The band have released two EP’s and seven albums which like the new one is released by norwegian cult label Metronomicon Audio.
