Ásgeir – Snowblind
“There is something cinematic in this music, where something incredible, magical and attractive is happening in the atmosphere of cold ice. Incredible atmosphere Indie Folk with hypnotic vocals.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Есть в этой музыке нечто кинематографическое, где в атмосфере холодных льдов происходит нечто невероятное, магическое и притягательное. Невероятная атмосфера Indie Folk с гипнотическим вокалом.”

Ásgeir’s absolutely magical new record, “Time On My Hands” out October 28 on One Little Independent. Alongside the announce he’s also released the first listen from the LP, single (and stunning video) “Snowblind”, an icy electronic ballad that fuses crisp beats with elated, expressive intensity. Driving synths rise dramatically while drums crack through the layered production beneath them – and amidst it all, Ásgeir’s singular, pure voice weaves a narrative that recalls the sparse and dark roads of his Icelandic hometown.
As one of Iceland’s most successful exports, Ásgeir has spent the time between his record-breaking debut (now celebrating its 10th anniversary) and today pushing the boundaries of his textured, thoughtful brand of folk-pop. ‘Time On My Hands’ sees Ásgeir in a state of self-reflection and experimentation. On this album he’s entered new realms of composition, sensitively layering acoustics with electronics and brass. As with some of his previous work, Ásgeir plays with euphoric and choral elements of electronic pop music while keeping a tight grasp on the introspective, vocal-lead style of the acoustica that made him famous.
It’s clear from the beginning that the collection is built around visuals of glacial scenery as Ásgeir soars above a frosty terrain of enchanting melodic soundscapes with cinematic lucidity. The rolling landscapes aesthetic of the record was inspired by Ásgeirs own relationship with music over the last two years, consuming mostly while he was running outdoors, or while on long drives. He says that “some of the albums or music that stand out from that time were Caribou’s album Suddenly, Caroline Polichek-Pang, Dijon, Altopalo, Big Thief, Michael Kiwanuka, Sault, Ethan Gruska, Blake Mills and Unknown Mortal Orchestra. This music probably has something to do with how the record came out, combined with earlier influences.”
The whole album asks us to allow ourselves to glide over borders, both the physical, the ones we put up ourselves, and those between reality and imagination. It’s about freedom, the desire for adventure, and taking flight to escape isolation, as well as appreciating the natural wonders that surround us every day.
Daniel James – Man on a Wire

“С помощью только одного голоса и его тембральной окраски можно донести до людей самые важные ценности и -Daniel James- в его новой композиции с этим прекрасно справился. Это приятное и доброе путешествие в очаровательный мир Dream Pop музыки.”

EYAL ZUSMAN ַ& AMIR LEV – That Moment
“Holy music from the sacred land, in which an important life morality is narrated. The song is very mental, this is even more a narrative and a story in which live tools for a deeper immersion are very beautifully and competently selected.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Священная музыка со священной земли, в которой повествуется важная жизненная мораль. Песня очень душевная, это даже больше повествование и рассказ, в которой очень красиво и грамотно подобраны живые инструменты для более глубокого погружения.”

DEBUT STUDIO ALBUM ‘THINGS CHANGE’ OUT 29TH JULY
https://sx.lnk.to/thingschangePO
15th July 2022, London UK: Critically acclaimed producer turned solo artist S-X increases anticipation for his debut studio album with brand new single ‘It’s Over Now’, released today.
The fourth release from his upcoming album, ‘It’s Over Now’ is written and produced by S-X and follows a trio of successful singles from this project: ‘Locked Out’ ft. KSI (streamed over 8 million times on Spotify), ‘All Night’ featuring multi-platinum selling US rap sensation Trippie Redd and ‘Who We Are’.
The track’s music video, directed by Troy Roscoe, is full of nighttime escapism, with dark and enigmatic shots of S-X alongside the emotional sentiment of the track. Roscoe extends his repertoire as a trend-setting film director with this video, having previously worked with artists such as Stefflon Don, Kojo Funds, Giggs, Yungblud, Fredo, Chunkz.
S-X says; ‘It’s Over Now represents the true meaning of being done with a situation, whether a relationship or an addiction for example. It’s relatable to whatever the listener feels. But for me it’s about being truly done with a relationship, not allowing myself to put a single ounce of energy into that anymore. It’s over now.’
From the release of his critically acclaimed EP ‘A Repeat Wouldn’t Go A Miss’ last year to his collaborations with the industry’s biggest names including Lil Wayne, Childish Gambino, Chance The Rapper, J. Cole and Skepta; S-X’s sounds have long been shaping the industry. The release of album ‘Things Change’ in July will fully allow his voice to be truly heard, as he pushes his art into new dimensions and cements his status as an unstoppable artist in his own right. The Wolverhampton wonderkid has a producer’s ear, a pop-star’s voice, and is one of the nicest guys in the business to boot.
Meanwhile, S-X is the first A&R and production consultant for Wolves Records, the first record label to be launched by a UK football club. Woverhampton Wanderers teamed up with Warner Music UK’s Alternative Distribution Alliance (ADA), the multi-award-winning label services division to launch an ambitious and unique proposition that will unite two of the world’s biggest passions – music and football.
‘It’s Over Now’ is out now and available on all streaming platforms via BMG / RBC Records

Praers – Cave Water
“A voice and a melody pulsating against the background resemble a wandering wind in a spacious field among many lights flashing on the sides. The enveloping atmosphere of Dream Pop in melodic tones enchanting hearing and light, barely audible instrumental melody of the guitar whispers something in your ear. Listen.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Голос и пульсирующая на фоне мелодия напоминают блуждающий ветер в просторном поле среди множества мигающих по сторонам огоньков. Обволакивающая атмосфера Dream Pop в чарующих слух мелодических тонах и лёгкая, едва слышимая инструментальная мелодия гитары шепчет вам что-то на ухо. Прислушайтесь.”
