Snøskred drop new single from upcoming debut album
Friday 26th October will see the release of Norwegian quintet Snøskred‘s debut album Whiteout via Riot Factory/Sad Songs For Happy People Records.
Snøskred formed in Trondheim in 2010 under the name The Avalanche but renamed themselves to the Norwegian word for avalanche instead.
According to label’s blurb, “Snøskred’s universe is filled with noisy guitars, seductive synths, pounding drums and rumbling bass that throws the listener back and forth between waves of delicious indierock and wonderful improvisation.”
Ahead of the album’s release, the outfit dropped recently a second single off it, the excellent ‘Come Closer’. Listen to it below, and also be sure to listen to the electrifying first single ‘We Are’ straight after.
People Get Ready share new single ahead of debut album release
Last month Brooklyn based quartet People Get Ready teased their eponymous debut album with the catchy first single ‘Windy Cindy’.
With less than a week to go before the album drops via Brassland, they are keeping us excited about it with the brand new single ‘Middle Name’.
In the words of founding member Steven Reker, “‘Middle Name’ imagines what Joan of Arc and Nikola Tesla have in common. And the structure of the song was inspired by Arthur Russell’s ‘Nobody Wants a Lonely Heart'”.
Listen to ‘Middle Name’ below. The single is free to grab and you can also stream the whole album via People Get Ready’s bandcamp.

Zita Swoon Group add visuals to ‘A Sera, A Waara’
Formed in the early 90’s under the name Moondog Jr., Zita Swoon became one of Belgium’s most emblematic bands. Lead member Stef Kamil Carlens, who also co-founded dEUS with Tom Barman, travelled to Burkina Farso in 2010 where he met vocalist Awa Démé and balafon (xylophone) player Mamadou Diabaté Kibié. Zita Swoon Group and the album Wait For Me is the fruit of this encounter.
According to the press release, most of the album’s tracks “are based around dialogues: the content of Awa Démé’s lyrics (sung in Dioula, a Manding language) is echoed and transposed in Stef Kamil’s English-language lines, which reflect the griots’ preoccupations with traditional wisdom, interpersonal relationships, social codes and cultural traditions, but also with very current issues: social and political problems, the depletion of the country’s natural resources, endemic poverty which drives many people to emigrate in search of a better life etc.”.
Wait For Me is out now via Crammed Discs and Zita Swoon Group have just started a string of European shows in support of the album. To celebrate the tour, the band has premiered a video for the album’s opener ‘A Sera, A Waara’. Watch it below.
