Maribel [Nor]

Maribel is a quartet from Oslo, Norway, and these guys have what it takes to be the next big thing from the north. Their sound can be put in the same category as the noise and shoegaze-oriented bands from the 80s, like My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive and Spacemen 3, and it is obvious that the four members in the band have studied their musical references closely. They paint out large canvases of sound, carpets of reverberated guitar-drones, energetic and minimalistic drumpatterns repeat and repeat, some dreamy vocals can be heard far in the background. It’s noisy, dark and chaotic, and at the same time it feels dreamy, warm, comfortable and meditative.

Five long, dreamy arrangements... with lush, electrified, shoegazery instrumentation and compelling male vocals.

Thirteen new tracks forge an exquisitely weathered, rain infused ethereal shoegaze atmosphere on this 2007 release from Portland, Oregon's Submarine Fleet.




Since 2005, the sublime shoegazery songs of Submarine Fleet have been stealthily gathering adherents across America and beyond. On the strength of 2005's self released EP "In A Case Of Fire", the band was chosen to perform at NYC's Drop Dead Festival, as well as Portland's Convergence13 gothic music festival. Submarine Fleet's atmospheric soundscapes have found their way into independent film as well, most notably with four songs featured in Per Anderson's feature length masterpiece "Stanley Cuba".
Whilst remaining a stealthy gem in Portland's sprawling music scene, Submarine Fleet opted to spend the better part of 2006 writing and recording new songs, which yielded in 2007 the compelling full length album "A Very Strange Sight in the Distance". "...Strange Sight..." is released on the band's own Below Sea Level Recordings label and is available internationally through Projekt/Darkwave Distribution, CDBaby and electronically through iTunes.

Triángulo de Amor Bizarro [Esp]

Triangulo de Amor Bizarro (Bizarre Love Triangle) is a band coming from A Coru馻, north Spain. Their palette of sounds moves between the obsessiveness and hypnotism of shoegazer geometry, exactly as Jesus and Mary Chain and My Bloody Valentine used to do. They are followers of the No-Wave and the Kraut progression taken from the legacy of bands such as Stereolab. Shadows of noise which will make the listener swing into feverish darkness or blinding brightness.

"Triangulo de Amor Bizarro"(2007, Mushroom Pillow)

Although their name, Triangulo de Amor Bizarro, is the exact Spanish translation of one of the most famous New Order’s songs (Bizarre Love Triangle)
