Elias Krantz releases video for latest single ‘Young Ends’
Elias Krantz‘s somophore album Night Ice came out last year via Country & Eastern, and earlier this year, it was re-released on vinyl.
The multi-instrumentalist, who hails from Stockholm, draws influences from various genres and bands. As the label describes, Krantz blends elements of post-rock, indie, instrumental, krautrock, neojazz, alternative, electronic, psychedelic, experimental and pop with “asymmetrical melodies, driving rhythms and ambient soundscapes”.
His latest single, ‘Young Ends’, has recently been complimented with a video, directed by Mexican artist Derzu Campos. Check it out below, and after the video, listen to the tantalizing B-side ‘Melting Point’.

Portland’s Eat Skull have announced the release of their third full-length album, aptly titled III. The quartet’s new effort is slated for a February 19th release via Woodsist.
III was created “on a fever train between states, cities, community colleges and jails”, as the band puts it. III is reportedly “a more psychedelic and perfectly circular outing” than their two previous albums.
‘How Do I Know When To Say Goodnight?’ is the the first cut to emerge and you can listen to it below.

“With just bass, drums and a furious saxophone”, the trio of Christoffer Roth, Gustav Bendt and Per Nordmark, “take inspiration from pioneers in the margins of pop”, as the press release explains. Some of their influential outfits include Cybotron, DAF, Peter Brötzmann, James Chance and Ornette Coleman.
A video for ‘Holy Mountain’ is the works. Whilst we wait for it drop, be sure to listen to the frantic and fierce single below.
Noro set to release debut digital 7″ single next week
This Tuesday December 11th will see the free digital release of the two-track single Nightingale from Noro, the brainchild project of New York-via-Calgary musician Samuel Hoeksema.
Nightingale features the warm and radiant tracks ‘Armor’ and ‘For Joy’ and it marks Noro’s debut release.
In incubation for two years, according the press release, Nightingale also features contributions from Austin Tufts (BRAIDS), Aaron Meyer (Honeybear) and producer and member of Azeda Booth, Morgan Greenwood.
Noro is currently recording and producing his debut full-length album, due out next year. His first offerings leave us eagerly anticipating it, and we’ll keep our eyes peeled for more on this.
The release blurb describes ‘Armor’ and ‘For Joy’ as “a product of surrender; of allowing oneself to lie prone and let one’s deepest self speak without competition”. These songs are the perfect accompaniment to gorgeous winter days like today and I can’t wait for them to drop next week.
