LIBRARY TAPES :: THVERFELLSHORN :: POPPY ACKROYD :: HIVA OA
Library Tapes' music sits somewhere between classical, ambient and experimental, but is always beautiful, subtle and affecting.

Primarily the project of Eskilstuna resident David Wenngren, Library Tapes has also included contributions from luminaries such as Peter Broderick, Julia Kent, Sylvain Chauveau and Danny Norbury.

"There's a drifting, cinematic quality that goes beyond the parameters of modern classical, crossing over into more ambient terrain. Wonderful compositions throughout, all meticulously performed and produced, leaving you with an album that established Library Tapes fans will adore, and newcomers can get well and truly hooked on. Excellent" (Boomkat).

THVERFELLSHORN

"Thverfellshorn is the astonishingly beautiful side project of Luke Payne from Wild Dogs in Winter, and also the sister- ... more project of Decorative Stamp's own Fawns. Thverfellshorn is a gentle excursion into where the music falls away into beautiful tender, droning slumbers. warm synths meet hypnotic guitars as distant voices and field recordings merge together to create such dream-like passages." less

HIVA OA

Hiva Oa is a three piece alternative band based in Edinburgh. Formed in 2010, they consist of Stephen (guitar/vocals), Christian (cello) and Marco (bass). The band currently share the stage with the gripping solo artist Hailey Beavis, who features heavily on their forthcoming debut album.

Their debut EP entitled 'Future Nostalgia for sale' is now available through mini50records.

Hiva Oa produce music with a fragile sense of melancholy, buried under a brooding darkness. Guitars, bass, cello, the odd piano and haunting vocals combine to create something unique and intensely evocative. Blending acoustic sounds with more experimental moments the band has created an ep and album that are distinct and immediately compelling. The beauty of Hiva Oa lies in the understated.

'Future Nostalgia for sale' is a precursor for the forthcoming debut album 'The Awkward Hello, Handshake, Kiss.', which is pencilled in for release in May 2012.

Press

'Male and female vocals dovetail to a basic backing of guitar, bass and cello. From this starting pad, a more sensurround experience of glockenspiel and martial drums are thrown into a scratchily looped mix that swirls and sways its way into being.... Hiva Oa stick to the shadows, erupting into a rolling thunder before coming to a hush once more.' - The List

'It's been a while since I heard a band for the first time and felt immediately obliged to write about them...This track certainly suggests a ton of potential, as it billows back and forth a brewing storm of droning hums and weathered strings amidst delicate vocals, which builds to a cathartic noisy cadence.' - Sonic Reverie

'Falling somewhere across dream pop, drone and shoegaze, new single Badger perfectly exemplifies what they're all about.' - The Tidal Wave of Indifference

'To hear of them is to experience an adventurous, skewed take on poetic art rock with the resulting languorous melancholy inducing a near hypnotic state.' - Bluesbunny Music Reviews
