Having had such great success with the release of first LP Aurora, then touring with our very own master of the electronic and eclectic arts, Patrick Wolf, it was time for The Deer Tracks to take a well deserved rest. They took to the small island called Eggegrund, off the coast of their hometown, Gavle, in eastern Sweden.

It was on this island that, David Lehnberg and Elin Lindfors, the two masterminds behind Deer Tracks, would call to the sea and the wind to inspire them. The effects, none the less, making Eggegrund,a haunting and expressive EP.

A much welcomed fifth release from the Alanta instrumentalist extraordinaire, Kaki King. Taking her outgoing and original style that infuses; guitar drumming, fret tapping and string slapping, and once again pushing it into a different direction. King mentions “My evolution from record to record has been personal not commercial. For example there’s none of the “guitar tapping” that I’m known for. There not a single bit of it on the record except for a half a second on ‘The Hoopers of Hudspeth.'”

A dark and menacing throwback to the eighties goth frenzy of bands like Bauhaus and the Sisters Of Mercy, Glasgow based three piece Kick To Kill are an outfit brewing up a similar sounding melting pot of cold synth stabs, throbbing guitar scapes and pitch black vocal intensity.
