Finally, new music from Lukestar at the Eardrums blog: https://eardrumsmusic.com/2007/10/04/lukestar-white-shade/
I got a four-song demo of new stuff from these guys earlier this year and let me tell you, it's remained in steady rotation ever since and easily ranks as some of the best new music I've heard in 2007. Looks like we won't get to hear the new album until 2008, but I'm okay with waiting. Very very recommended!

Check out Norwegian singer/songwriter Thomas Dybdahl hanging out with the similarly-named Thomas D of German hip-hop group Die Fantastischen Vier (The Fantastic Four, essentially Germany's answer to the Beastie Boys): https://www.arte.tv/de/suche/1707650.html
