album out on april 16th
PETULA
elephant dresses
froggi:30
join the choir, sing along! “Elephant Dresses” is spreading spring. this is where playful hits and fragile dreaminess meet to form melodies forever. Petula’s first album brings you loop folk and that great, frequently used falsetto voice, that sometimes makes me imagine him as a character in a Flying Circus cartoon by Terry Gilliam. 9 songs about sleep, despair, making out, little birds and hate. let’s all put “elephant dresses” into our walkman and „we’ll hang out with the most enchanting singing girls and guys.“ [white tapes in an extra nice cardboard slipcase with a window]
>>listen to: we´ll become p( )rentheses

huhu..keine zeit grad...aber hier wird alsbald was hingeschrieben...
BROTHERS EP // FLOPPI:1 // OUT NOW - 2009-10-16
Petula's new ep “brothers” - a slowly waking sunbeam. glockenspiel, tremolo guitars, tambourine and melodies that you want to sing along to on a fall day like this. it contains 3 to 7 songs, depending on how, where and how many copies you pick up. but let's quote the man behind the music: "Two songs will be available online and digitally, y’all know the game, old stuff, been there done that, where’s the twist in that? Well, there is a third song. There are 5 third songs, actually, all clocking in at one and a half minute and thus perfect to be released on the fourth most beautiful of formats: The 3,5” floppy disk. These third songs will be released consecutively, gently replacing one another. One for each week of touring, one for mail orders via Floppi Records, one to be released on the new Petulasite. Expect folksy rambles, indie pop hits, electronic sidesteps, beautiful sketches."
P E T U L ANEW SUBLABEL ::: FLOPPI RECORDS - 2009-10-13
[do you remember you grandfather's old diskette drive? nice memories, right?]
FLOPPI RECORDS is the new 3,5" diskette sub label of FROGGI RECORDS. you see: ... froggi...floppi? that all makes a lot of sense. yes, it all falls into place. 1,44 Megabyte are enough to put some of today's finest music on it. special stuff...just for you. the first release will be the new PETULA ep. and it's goning to be out on the 15th of october. pretty fast this machine. it's incredible!
...............................................................................warm up drive A and stay tuned!

ok. so the actual covers got delivered and now "frog bone salad" is complete. just one keyword to make your tape collector heart go boom boom: hook and loop fastener!
BONE SPLIT TAPE SERIES FINALE * BK + KI - 2009-03-03
"holy cow!"? noooo! "holy frog!" ..that's what people will say from now on when something big is up. the bone-split-tape-trilogy is coming to close with part .... 3 (yeah right!). on "frog bone salad" the Björn will stand side to side with the Kid. heini action deluxe. the tape release will take place at Valentin Stüberl, Berlin on the 14th of march...that's prrrretty soon, folks! so rush and get your tickets, because the place is nicely small. ** and as a little candy to go here's a quirky old demo version of one of the Kid Ikarus songs on the tape. it's called "exaggerate" and it goes like this: exaggerate
EHEMALIGE ZUKUNFT // FROGGI:25 // OUT NOW - 2009-02-19
yay! today is the day that we celebrate nautical punk rock instrumentation, cried out words that split up into their smallest parts to be assembled back together in forms of fimo...
VOM SEGELN : EHEMALIGE ZUKUNFT
>>listen to: heute maurer, früher mörder
(some words in deutscher sprache:)Manchmal vergisst man ja, wie Punk Rock eigentlich geht. Oder gehen sollte. Ungestüm und rotzig, aber das herzlich und voller Elan. Mit Kopf, Herz und Bein witzig und geistreich sein, Energie raushauen, Standpunkte beziehen. Charmant Unabhängigkeiten zelebrieren im Rahmen einer D.I.Y.-Basis, die verdammt nochmal immer noch mehr Frische und Grandesse beinhaltet als so einiges anderes. Mit Texten inhaltlicher Relevanz. Das Ganze meinetwegen auch inkl. Bier. Vom Segeln nehmen einen genau an diesem Punkt mit; wo Bass und Gitarre munter ihre Rollen tauschen, während das Schlagzeug die halb geöffnete Tür zerbrezelt und der Gesang zwischen Schreien, Rufen und Flüstern herumwirbelt. Zwischen den Leuten im Publikum sowieso. Voller Hingabe und Seele in den Spuren von Jensens Kram, EA80 und Rites Of Spring. Ehemalige Zukunft - bitteschön!

ONE WEEK WITH MY CASIO // froggi:24 // out now - 2008-11-01
YAY!!!!!
TIDY CASIO COUNTDOWN - part 3 - 2008-10-28
a programmatic manifestation, within the title already. In addition: the finally performed launch of six days' week. frickling over the top, electronic offset parts chase around the corner, care for a grandiose interplay between slow and fast motion moments, for charming deja vu situations and quiet laughing. musically translated blurred photos, movement through night light as well as pale landscape images. Hidden wit, braving the gap. out of focus and by this already completely back inside. what an alternating Brisbane New York artist mind is able to afford, and already did some times on diverse small, world wide scattered net labels - finally now in excellent shape on froggi tape. yaay!
TIDY CASIO COUNTDOWN - part 2 - 2008-10-24

2007 is getting old and due to my new raw material source's slowness the anthology tape of THE RABBIT THEORY will not be out before january next year, i guess. in the meantime you should get to know the theorists here.
2007 has been the year of Ampl:tude, Jordan, Elyk Wot, Winter Took His Life and Björn KLeinhenz. 2008 will be the year of Froggi Records on the moon.
what's ahead:
* Ampl:tude will record stuff 'inbetween the years'
* Björn Kleinhenz + Winter Took His Life will be on tour in jauary '08
* a magnificent little Froggi Allstars tour is intended for early '08
* Jordan will hopefully be touring germany again in march

RECENT RELEASES:  KID IKARUSdemo party froggi:32 info: the title pretty much says it all: this album is compiling pieces of different puzzles. it is the funky seance of songs and yet-to-be songs that get together, celebrating a party, dedicated to unfinishedness and spontaneousness. Kid Ikarus gives us insight into his musical cache memory. "demo party" has some hits on it, that die-hard fans were demanding to get put on tape for a long time now. so you will find crowd pleasers like "robo / dino" or "...it`s a dance party", that you can now finally also enjoy at home, alongside more conceptual fragments like "schweinaffe". 3 hoorays to demo parties! >>visit: www.kidikraus.de   THE RABBIT THEORY / LEM PHAGO(split tape) froggi:31 info: coming soon... >>visit: www.quiet.ch/therabbittheory >>visit: lem phago @ last fm PETULAelephant dresses froggi:30 info: join the choir, sing along! “Elephant Dresses” is spreading spring. this is where playful hits and fragile dreaminess meet to form melodies forever.

(2010) >>listen to: we´ll become p( )rentheses >>visit: www.petula.org  PONK / DAISUKE TANABEwool and water ep / split shot ep froggi:29 info: pOnk is combining tripping grooves with hip hop influences and post-rockish melodies. the concept behind the ep was to only use analogue drum computer beats, bass guitar, found sounds and celesta. Daisuke Tanabe creates spherical, yet very playful collages of electronic and organic sounds. his tracks on the tape were all created under the name Cat Eat Mosquito, which marks his earlier works. the two sides of the tape come together very well; although they sound pretty different they share this specific atmosphere.

"fingertier" is the Kid´s stream of conciousness on a inspired thursday afternoon, captured on tape. but the daubentonia madagascariensis (aka aye-aye or hay-hay) was the one really pulling the strings here. (2009) >>visit: www.kidikarus.de  PETULAbrothers floppi:1 info: folksy rambles, indie pop hits, electronic sidesteps, beautiful sketches. "brothers" brings you 3 new Petula songs, of which the third one depends on whether you get the ep at live shows, online or via us. first release on froggi´s sublabel floppi records.

BJÖRN KLEINHENZvita hända froggi:?? info: strictly limited to just 18 copies!! (2009) >>visit: www.kleinhenz.se  MOCKback to the futr froggi:27 info: Think about early post-hardcore of the mid 90s, the sound of the ‘Midwest’ and add some inspiration by Postrock in the vein of the Chicago school and you might get a glimpse on what the music of Berlins new trio mOck sounds like: driving, melodic, irregular, changing between crooked rhythms and floating, minimal structures. Just when you think you get it, there is a surprise. Sometimes noisy and unhandy, the next moment playful loops, outbursts and minimalistic withdrawals.

Hidden wit, braving the gap. out of focus and by this already completely back inside.
