new release coming up: just before the summer, there'll be a new lp by soccer Committee. and that's Mariska Baars' fourth release on morc - so, we're fans of hers. and if you heard her earlier work: sure you are as well.
Mariska Baars has been relying on just her vocals and subtle guitar touches for over fifteen years. Her output has been as sparse as her music itself, so every new release is quite an event. her upcoming album is -slightly- different. sounds a bit more impulsive, and with an overdub here and there. still very much soccer Committee.
more details + start of preorders somewhere next week. official release date will be june 27th. don't miss out.

So, we're startied 2023 with another repress of the debut lp of Luster that first arrived in june, then sold out right away, came back in september, and was gone again way too fast... and was now repressed in february, and gone again by march. however: don't panic, there are still some copies available via several distros.
The Luster lp is a majestic, gloomy and moody album that you'll play over and over until you get all the details.Cello, flute, harmonium and violin blend in with the traditional guitar-bass-drums trio – making them land on a unique spot at the crossroad where ancestral doom folk, heady dronerock and spacious pop seamlessly meet. Often repetive, always mesmerizing and evocative. Kind of the missing link between Mazzy Star, Pentangle, Broadcast and Enhet for Fri Musik. It’s really that unique and that good, both live as on record. the represses comes in a screenprinted + letterpressed sleeve, just like the original, and with a lyric sheet. what a treat.

The last release of 2022 is still available: a split lp by favorites Roxane Métayer and Pefkin. Mutual admirers of each other’s work, these titans of Scottish and French dronefolk team up for a split lp – 2 tracks by Pefkin, 3 by Roxane. The fact that these like-minded artists explore the boundaries of what connects them, makes it a very exciting release. The Pefkin side is Gayle at her most melodic, whereas Roxane goes down a poetic and rhythmical path. Dream combo.
the lp costs 15 euro + shipping. (shipping prices actually went down for quite a few countries!)
