Jakki Jelene – Deep Blue Sea

September 12th, 2011

New single by Jakki Jelene, Deep Blue Sea, an infectious, upbeat, ambient house track that captures the spirit of adventure on the high seas. Available to download FREE for a limited time!

Deep Blue Sea
Lyrics by Jakki Jelene

We intend to go
We intend to see
Places in our dreams
Where we long to be

It seems so out of touch
To those who have no vision
But nothing’s what it seems
There’s no certainty

Sailing high on white capped waves
Above the salty brine
We’re traveling upon the deep blue sea
Deep blue sea
Deep blue sea

We’ll close our eyes tonight
And leave behind reality
Like wings we’re taking flight
To another world

A land yet unexplored
That no one can imagine
But when we come ashore
We will surely see

Sailing high on white capped waves
Above the salty brine
We’re traveling upon the deep blue sea
Deep blue sea
Deep blue sea

Autumn’s Grey Solace – Eifelian

September 9th, 2011

Autumn’s Grey Solace released their new album Eifelian this year!


The continuing efforts of Autumn’s Grey Solace over the years have involved steady progression into a sound of their own within a larger style in turn. The duo’s roots in the music of acts like the Cocteau Twins, Love Spirals Downwards, and other atmospheric rock partnerships remain constant; where the combined strength of Erin Welton’s voice and Scott Ferrell’s music lies best is in exploring the pair’s intersections. Thematically, Eifelian draws its name as well as its song titles from the pre-human history of the planet — an ambitious range to say the least, from “Archean Earth” and “Faint Young Sun” to “Holocene” and “Fauna.”

The close, intimate flow of the album’s 14 songs suggests less of a direct evocation of that crush of time as it does a dreamy reflection on time and timelessness. From the start, Welton’s heavily treated vocal sighs and Ferrell’s acoustic/electric arrangements of classic gauzy shimmer never fully reinvent the form but elegantly explore it, a near hour’s worth of enjoyably melancholic contemplations for late summer afternoons. –AllMusic

Falling You – Adore

September 8th, 2011

Falling You recently released their new album Adore!

Adore explores a more optimistic, rock-oriented motif. Though the ethereal / ambient base is still there, the music ranges from ambient, to jangly shoegaze, to melodic space-rock, to dream-pop and finally back to ambient. The concept is a simple one – life is a varied and wonderful thing, and though it’s trials can weigh heavily on us, it’s tribulations can lift our hearts. Adore is about exploring the more optimistic side of emotional music and this gift called life. –Magnatune

Vocalists include Anji Bee (Lovespirals), Suzanne Perry (MelodyGuild, Love Spirals Downwards), Aimee Page (Vishnu’s Secret), Victoria Lloyd (Claire Voyant), Erica Mulkey (Unwoman, Stripmall Architecture), Dru Allen (This Ascension, Mirabilis), Summer Bowman (The Machine In The Garden, Mirabilis) and Kirsty Hawkshaw (Delerium, Mr. Sam). Sample the entire album here:
