RECENT RELEASES: KID IKARUS demo 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 PETULA elephant 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. 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.

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.

BJÖRN KLEINHENZ vita hända froggi:?? info: strictly limited to just 18 copies!! (2009) >>visit: www.kleinhenz.se MOCK back 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.
