Brightest Minds

Daniel Rossen and Fred Nicolaus, known collectively as DEPARTMENT OF EAGLES, have released relatively little music together, and their catalogue may seem a little schizophrenic. How did they develop from college room-mates goofing off with sampling software into the harbingers of an atmospheric and grandiose symphonic pop sound? “ARCHIVE 2003 – 2006”, comprising previously unreleased recordings by the pair, provides the missing piece in this process.

“ARCHIVE 2003 – 2006” is released 19th July on Bella Union records… track-listing below…

Hollow Branches - Anchored in Sleep

Hollow Branches, one of the many projects in which Robert Hunter, Marius Sjøli (Formloff, Self Spiller), and Jason Walton (Agalloch, Self Spiller), are involved, have just released their new ep. Thematically inspired by dreams, insomnia, nostalgia and morning, “Anchored in Sleep” finds Hollow Branches expanding their sound with elements of progressive and post rock, as well as glitch. Drawing from a variety of influences including, David Sylvian, Landberk and Porcupine Tree, this ep is perfect for the cold winter days ahead.

Bio:

More than 5,000 miles separates the members of Hollow Branches, they have only been in the same room a handful of times, each is in several other bands, and none of this is likely to change. In spite of these obstacles, Hollow Branches has managed to record two EPs in 2009 alone.

With a sound equal parts ambient, rock and trip hop, “Words are Fire” received a digital release in February and was downloaded no less than 500 times. Since that time, five new tracks have been written for their second EP, “Anchored in Sleep.” Thematically inspired by dreams, insomnia, nostalgia and morning, “Anchored in Sleep” finds Hollow Branches expanding their sound with elements of progressive and post rock, as well as glitch.
