Island Songs: Week 1

"Welcome to Island Songs.
Over the next 7 weeks, I will be travelling to 7 different locations in Iceland - one per week - to record a series of new compositions.

In each location I will be collaborating with local artists to create and perform a new song and each week I will release the audio track and video performance, shot by director Baldvin Z. Each artist has their own unique story to tell and way of contributing, making this a diverse and evolving project.


Island Songs is a living musical film and therefore everything will be documented in real-time. You can join me by keeping an eye on Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat (search for Kiasmosed), Instagram and islandsongs.is for regular media and commentary.

I'd love to get as much feedback as possible from people via social media as the project progresses, and really keep a conversation going. During Living Room Songs people sent me in artwork, song titles, suggestions... it was as if I were having a conversation as I was making the music." - Ólafur Arnalds

"Hey, I'm Brad Couture. I'm a composer based out of New Hampshire. I also write/record music under the name Sleevenotes. 

My relationship with music began at the age of six in front of an old spinet piano. I quickly discovered that I preferred to play anything except whatever sheet music was placed in front of me. There was this whole world of possibility existing outside the page, and I was eager to explore it. Over time, I discovered the world of recording arts, and dove into recording my music for more than just my friends and family to hear. 

The music I write is the culmination of my frustrations, daydreams, melancholy and joy. Each song and melody carries a piece of my life with it. I hope to connect with other people emotionally through my music - maybe they too, have felt what I have.

Life moves us all in different ways. It moves me to write music." - Brad Couture

The band started as a wish to create new atmosphere; reflecting their tastes in music and other forms of art. They create their compositions with simple chord progression bars, wrapped with a pounding drum beats, harmonized guitar tones, a bit of distortion. Then the songs get slowly begin to evolve to shoegaze, ambient and post-rock to produce certain vibrations of atmosphere.

Streaming: Throane - Derrière Nous La Lumière


Band: Throane
Album: Derrière Nous La Lumière
Label: Debemur Morti
Year: 2016








Tracklist
01.Sortez Vos Lames, Que Nous Perdions Nos Poings

03.Derrière-Nous, La Lumière

05.Contre Terre
06.Nous Blâmons La Tempête De Nous Avoir Laissés En Plaies
07.A Cette Chute
Streaming

"Derrière-Nous, La Lumière" is a giant wave of despair, a colossal edifice of discordant guitars and heartbreaking howling built on mid-paced and oppressive tempo, reminiscent of Godflesh, Neurosis or Blut Aus Nord. The poisonous heaviness of this insane work of art, truly mind-melting, is dangerously addictive, intelligently repetitive and hypnotic.

The infected music of Throane is a desperate landscape, a massive nihilistic echo crawling into the mystic depths of the human soul, at the crossroads between industrial, black-metal, post-core and dark ambient.

With this first outstanding album, a pure injection of desolation, Throane has positioned himself to join the elite in the obscure meanders of real underground, where creative and audacious bands are the hidden monarch of exceptional Dark Arts.
