Sài Gòn based artist Skeleton Goode is the nom de plume of Jack Briggs - an English guitarist and songwriter. Skeleton Goode provides Jack with the opportunity to drag his maladies from post-industrial North-East England, through the sticky heat of the Mekong Delta and into your ears. Having recently signed to Mega Dodo Records (UK), Skeleton Goode is currently working hard forging nuggets of disjointed pop-sike for your listening pleasure. The recently recruited Skeleton Goode Band (an international 4-piece consisting of American, Japanese and English musicians) have just returned from a 3-week SE Asian tour and are champing-at-the-bit to perform their wistful ditties to a brand-new audience.

A Prayer for The Birds was written by Crystal Jacqueline's partner and musical director Icarus Peel and was inspired by their shared love of nature and the environment. While the album may offer something familiar and dependable, it s another step forward in a musical journey that started some years ago. For this album, Jacqueline was joined by new backing singers Victoria Reyes and Elaine Lightfoot. Victoria also plays exquisite oboe and Lizzy Wayne, who s also played with the Honey Pot, adds flute. Both players and instruments add new colours to a pastoral sonic palette. Together they lay down a deep-pile carpet to walk on, a perfectly heated pool to swim in, an adequately logged fireplace to lie in front of.

The After is better than the party. Translated to their native Croatian language. Trimmed to a size of a four-letter acronym - ABOP. It s an awarded and critically acclaimed Croatian electronic music band inspired by acid house, techno, electro and other early electronic dance music genres. There s a rave on the floor, the audience is in trance - but there is no DJ - instead ABOP consists of five exquisite musicians on the stage. Live electronic band. Living drum machine - Ivan Levacic and Ivan Vodopijec share a single drum kit, sitting opposite of each other and kicking in the same bass drum. Both visual and auditory centerpiece of their music. They are accompanied by heavy bass lines by Erol Zejnilovic, digital synths by Ivan Bozanic and Roland TB-303, Future Retro 777 and similar analog synths by Bogumil Kulaga. Their first release, a self-titled EP from 2016 is now sold-out. On account of it they ve gathered miles and miles under their belt playing in Austria, Italy, Hungary, Slovakia, Germany, Belgium, France, Czech Republic and Bulgaria. All the time maintaining their status in the region with festival performances on EXIT, Dimensions and Terraneo. In 2017 the band was awarded with the best electronic music band award by Ambasador (Croatian music award recognizing achievements in electronic music). In 2018 ABOP released their first video for the song 'Right Now' directed by Katrin Novakovic. The animated stop-motion video was featured in numerous animation and music video festivals, the most famous one being Berlin Music Video Awards 2019 where the band performed.

What was available to unknown hard rocking dreamers like Umbra in Denver in 1971-72? Weekend gigs. Nothing but weekend gigs. But there was an upside to that: bands like Umbra could mix original material in with covers, and make enough money to survive. Or in the case of Umbra, to make enough money to build a home studio, where they recorded ads to promote their upcoming shows-and eventually, laid down the eight tracks on this disc. Everything was recorded by bouncing tracks back and forth between two-track and four-track reel-to-reel tape recorders. Spacey intros and weird effects were created by recording guitar licks, then re-recording them played backwards at double speed. What sounds like a flute was the result of blowing over the top of a 14" goose neck (believe it or not). The resulting tracks are hard edged and heavy, verging on acid rock at times. Makes sense, as Umbra was a power trio most of their too-brief existence. Yet the songs (heavy though they are) have a deft touch. There are weird effects, space rock elements, plenty of melody, and a refreshing category-free approach to writing songs that makes Umbra's music exciting to hear. Our Lion LP edition comes with an 8-page LP-sized color booklet, with lyrics, photos, plus interesting and funny things that can only happen to musicians, and did to Umbra. The CD edition comes with a sixteen-page color booklet containing the same material. We know that band bios can be sterile and boring or can move to the opposite spectrum, rife with grandiose embellishment. Umbra's story is neither. Instead, it is the story is the story of a band from the early 1970's who recorded what they wanted to record: heavy, heavy music from the start of the "American Comedown Era" (as we've seen it described by friends for their Brown Acid series of compilations). Umbra's story is also that of a band whose music, terrific though it is, has never to this point been released out into the wide world. Prepare yourselves to be surprised-and we hope as impressed as we are-by what Umbra had to offer.
