Fysisk Format has delayed the release of Next Life's new album "The lost age" to the first week of 2009.
Luxury has signed legendary Gbg-based indie act Franke and will be releasing a new 7" from the band in December with a new full-length to follow on January 14. Whether they'll live up to expectations remains to be seen, all I know is that they were awful at Way Out West two years ago. Take that with a grain of salt though - my understanding is that they've always been a bad live act, so maybe the music will still be alright.
On Volcano reports that their excellent debut EP "my sleep was filled with dreams" is sold out, but have no fear - copies are still available through me at a reasonable price: m/store/product.php?productid=582">[click here]
Finnish shoegazers murmansk are back in the studio with producer Julius mauranen working on their 2nd album. Expect a spring 2009 release.
my promo copy of Anna maria Espinosa's album "Glowing with you" didn't come with liner notes, but it hardly matters - I'm confident I can accurately guess a large number of the co-writers and backing musicians based on sound alone, if not for past associations. If you're at all familiar with the crowd she keeps, it won't be hard either - this is the sound of peak Stockholm rock circa 5+ years ago or thereabouts. Her time with Club Killers is more than apparent and so it's only natural that she also takes on the sounds of moneybrother and, as you'll hear on the title track posted today, Weeping Willows. It's a classic WW-style ballad; I half-expect magnus Carlson's croon to enter on every new verse though Anna does manage to pull it off on her own. She can't quite wrench out the teardrops like magnus on the peak of that sad, sad chorus, but still, she soars admirably. Yes, it's terribly derivative, but come on, are you surprised? You shouldn't be.
Anna Maria Espinosa - Glowing with you

I'll admit that m/reviews.php?r=71">I had a little difficulty at first with Norma's debut "1". I fell hard for "Love no other", but found it slightly demanding to be as powerfully drawn to the rest of the EP. As an English professor of mine would carefully say about a book he didn't appreciate to the extent his colleagues did: "I'm not ready for it yet." Still, something about Norma imbedded itself into me and I couldn't shake them. I can say now: I'm ready for Norma.
"Book of Norma" is overwhelming and disconcerting, yet it is precisely in this difficulty that Norma best profess their talents. No band attempting to provide a facile listening experience would start a record with "S.A.m", a track that starts off as though its been recorded from the backstage room of a club. Even in the most simple, driving moments of "S.A.m" or "Waste", there is a fullness that most bands lack - in "S.A.m" this comes from the dark amplitude of the production and in the bridging of Krautrock with indie rock; in "Waste", Norma separate themselves through attitude and approach alone, taking what could almost be a track from Tiger Lou's "The loyal" and saturating it with a dysphoria present not only in the song's pacing, but in the detached lyrics. "Book of Norma" is brilliant, be it in the near freak out of "Evelyn", the unsettlingly fast/slow pacing of "You go, we follow", or in the beautiful closer "Empty hands" which is only made more remarkable through Andrea Kellerman's (of Firefox AK) backing vocals. I've never given full marks to a band before, nor do I hesitate to do so with this - "Book of Norma" is the record to beat in 2008.
