Claremont Editions 3 derlemesindeki zarif selamının üzerinden geçen iki yılın ardından, Nürnberg merkezli Neumayer Station büyüleyici ilk uzunçaları Crossings ile karşımızda. Davulculuktan prodüktörlüğe evrilen Michael Kargel’in vizyonu ve Claremont 56 camiasının (Fürsattl, Bambi Davidson) yakından tanıdığı Frank Mollena’nın usta işi prodüksiyonuyla şekillenen albüm, Nürnberg yeraltı sahnesinden konukların katkılarıyla zenginleşiyor.

Son üç yıla yayılan kayıtların bir ürünü olan Crossings; klasik Alman ‘kosmische’ tınılarını, CAN grubunun o meşhur serbest salınımlı başıboşluğunu ve güneş banyosu yapmış Balearic estetiğini aynı potada eritiyor. Space-rock pusunun hâkim olduğu açılış parçası “Unterführung"dan, dub ve caz gitar dokunuşlarıyla parlayan "Nalut"a ve oradan da Krautrock köklerine selam duran görkemli kapanışa kadar albüm; hem zihni açan hem de usulca içine çeken, şaşırtıcı derecede olgun bir ilk iş.

FIRST RELEASE OF THE YEAR OUT TODAY! Orange Crate Art: Contemporary Guitar Music Well, the first release of 2022 is finally here. After tons of prep behind the scenes to get cds ordered, promotional material out, and dotting all the "i"s at it were, it's finally time to present Orange Crate Art: Contemporary Guitar Music. This is an album that will expand your ways of thinking about music. It is a fusion of so many styles from ambient to shoegaze to jazz to post rock and much more. And even with all these amazing styles threaded together, the album is cogent and, IMO, feels like a masterpiece. It is a sonic adventure you should not miss! As Dominique from Monolith Cocktail notes: "Billed as a collection of spontaneous in the moment songs, this latest album from the Malmo explorer traverses a cosmic myriad of trip-hop, post-rock, kosmische, krautrock, psychedelia, dream-pop, indie and baggy dance music; created I’d imagine in some kind of drug-induced haze, with the signature apparatus mind-bended, wailed, contoured and vibrated into a dream factory of the hypnotic, dubby and melting." Orange Crate Art's best album to date, Contemporary Guitar Music is simply a huge slice of excellence that will be rolling out as the year moves forward here at Somewherecold Records. Get your copy of the album on CD in beautiful digipak or grab yourself a digital copy if you prefer.
