Human Ottoman ~ Power Baby
Electric cello, vibraphone and drums: this original set-up yields a sound that bridges the gap between post-rock and modern composition. The trio’s timbre is fresh and distinctive; after hearing the album, one would be able to recognize their notes at

Old Amica ~ Drone and Hum
All too often, instrumental bands become vocal bands. But on this EP, a vocal duo has become an instrumental duo. Separating by 649km, these Swedes had already recorded four internet collaborations. It was time for them to try recording in
