So the frankly awesome folks of the 405, have very kindly let us take over their fair internet portal all week and the pages of the site are currently jam packed with all kinds of musical goodness including acoustic sessions from Uno Moller, I See Horses, Bellman and Monzano, a "my favourite records" piece featuring Uno Moller, Bellman and I See Horses, interviews with Bellman and Monzano, A giant spotify playlist and more... I will round up everything into one place (ie here!) shortly but for now you should definitely check out this little beauty of a session track from our friends Bellman. Enjoy x

Radio show, new releases, end of year stuff
So then; its been a strange and busy few weeks all told over here. There is much to get through so in nothing like chronological order here goes:
The Lazy Acre Takeover of BBC Introducing went out on friday night in Northamptonshire. We owe massive love to Tash and Ally for this and we had a lot of fun doing it. If you missed it you can still hear it on the iplayer by clicking here.
Next up what with it being the end of the year (/decade) there are the obligatory end of year lists going around. We were super pleased then to discover that Uno Moller made Birds Sometimes Dance's end of year best of list for his album "Songs from my beautiful colourball". Indeed he also made Art Stars best of 2010 list (along with Solvor Vermeer whos ep The Beaming Light made the list). Finally Monzano also made the list of The 405's favourite eps of the year list as well.
Oh and Uno Moller was also Norways representative in this months Music Alliance Pact which you can find on 30 odd blogs by googling Music Alliance Pact.
And finally our friends I See Horses have a new single out for christmas. Its called Last Christmas (I Shot You Down) and you can hear it / download it for free, below.

So the reason then that we were in Oslo
So as you will have noticed (especially if you follow us on twitter) we spent the weekend in a very cold Oslo. And we had a blast - in the company of Oli from the 405. Although it should be stressed we were indeed working.
At what you ask? Well heres the awesome news. First up we took the 405 as in a couple of weeks we will be running a Lazy Acre Takeover on the site and jam filling it with all kinds of Lazy Acre goodness including interviews with Monzano and Bellman, a special edition of the My Favourite Records series, live acoustic sessions from Uno, Bellman and I See Horses and a whole load more.
We were also recording some content for a special show we are doing for BBC Radio Northamptonshire and 6music. The show on Northamptonshire will be a one hour lazy acre special with interviews, live tracks, more lazy tuneage than you know what to do with and plenty of waffling from yours truly. That will go out December 17th.
Oh and we also did some stuff for an oslo-centric insert for Tom Robinsons show featuring Team Me, Einar Stray and Sareena Maneesh.
Phew.
So things we learnt this week: How Monzano would survive a zombie apocolypse, How the norwegians are employing fembot style sirens to recruit new citizens, that solvor vermeer is a bad influence ("just one drink" to 630am bedtimes), that My Little Pony have literally JUST finished a new album, that Einar Stray is astounding live and that it is indeed possible to modestly wax £100 in 26 hours (8 of which you were asleep for!)
Also we learnt this morning that the kind folk of The 405 have gone and named Monzano in their eps of the year list. Alongside Sufjan Stevens and Dad Rocks! for two. Nice company I'm sure you will agree. You can check it out here anyway and for the hell of it why not check out All Scandinavians take on the Ep as well.

I See Horses acoustic session, Monzano technical glitch etc
So we're still catching up with ourselves from the weekend in Oslo (More of which to come later in the week) but a couple of quick lines:
First up I SEE HORSES were recently filmed in session (at Arvinds flat) for the Involve Yourself Campaigns youtube festival. There are loads of great acts involved (including Ingrid Olava, Honeytraps, Cold Mailman and more). Anyway the live track the band performed (Drop Out) is below:
Next up: We are working alongside the good folk of The National Student to bring you a musical advent calendar through the month of December. Check by the site every day for free mp3s including liberal scatterings of Lazy Acre tunes.
And finally somethings been going awry with Bandcamp this last week or so. If you have paid for a copy of the Monzano EP and not recieved the two bonus tracks in your bundle please drop me an email - lazyacrerecords@gmail.com - and Ill email them over to you.

A breathless catch up: I See Horses, Mixtapes and more
Well, my twitter and facebook feeds have gone bonkers the last few days with people getting in touch about the Great Big Uno Moller Uno Treasure hunt. We are now three clues down (you can pick up the trail and get involved by clicking here) and today sees Uno visiting one of my absolute favourite music sites the 405.
In other exciting news I See Horses have been booked to play a live session next week on NRK’s P3 sessions in Norway with none other than Band of Horses - which is *beyond* immense. In the meantime SugarPopSugarPop also made a nice mention of them, while The National Student featured their video as a video of the day. Dont forget you can download their EP for free here
Wonderful stuff.
As if all of that wasn’t quite enough - the SugarPopSugarPop guys also featured our dear friend Mr Moller as part of their most recent mixtape alongside some other little bands like Pete Yorn and Arcade Fire. oh and The National which Laura G is excited about. I just don’t get it with them.
Anyway you can download it (along with a bunch of other very cool mixtapes) for free over here. Add all of that into the final stages of the compilation coming together, a new My Little Pony single coming very soon, a wicked cool split EP with the good folk of BOI Records and the details of our third birthday party being announced and your onto something pretty. fucking. exciting.
Much Love
The Lazy Boy x

More I See Horses reviews
Following on from them hitting the airwaves of Northamptonshire on Friday night, I thought Id round up a couple of other I See Horses reviews which have arrived recently including these nice words from Doug @ Indie Today and another nice mention here from Eddie over at Pop Goes The Weevil.
The guys over at Thats Punk also got themselves very excited about it, which is also a bit of a treat.
In the meantime I cant remember if I've put this video up here before or not but either way here's a great video of the guys live at Bla in Oslo which is one of my favourite little venues.

A few points of interest...
So then - all manner of good stuff going on over here at the moment including the final preparations for our excellent new compilation "Three hands down and doing the Charlestone" which we'll be filling you in on in the coming days...
My Little Pony and Little Hands of Asphalt joint show last week at Oya has been gathering rave reviews (including this wee note here which reports that a good half hour before the show had started the bathroom sinks were full of vomit. which is lovely) while I See Horses set was equally well recieved... You can check out some photos from ISH' set over here on Facebook .
In the meantime we have had a few more nice words in on some of intrepid heroes including The Heads Up blog waxing lyrical about I SEE HORSES , Aark Mag in Glasgow getting similarly effusive about the very same equine band and The Maroon Cafe throwing their support behind Mr Uno Moller as well.
Lovely.

Latest news updates 11/08/10
Greetings!
So then – things have been insane of late over here so for those of you that might have missed out heres a quick round up of everything that has been happening of later over here.
First up Uno Mollers new album and EP (“Songs from my beautiful colourball” and “how to lead you home ep” respectively) have been out for a few weeks now and we’ve been enjoying your feedback to them both. Kind words have been coming in from the likes of Punktastic, Buried by the buzz, Acuvi and All Scandinavian and more have been promised in the coming weeks. You can name your price and download the album right about now over at Bandcamp.
Next up we are just finishing off the final details on a new compilation we are releasing this autumn. This isn’t something we’ve done before but we’re super excited about this little project and the tracklisting contains gems including: Solvor Vermeer, The Little Hands of Asphalt, Cold Mailman, Waking Life, Youth Pictures of Florence Henderson, Uno Moller, I See Horses, Escapists, My First Tooth, Stylus Boy, Tiny Cinema and The Son(s). Keep your eyes peeled for more on this very soon.
We also went and started a new weekly records club by way of our facebook page. How this works is if you “like” our page (facebook.com/lazyacrerecords) we will send out a free track to you once a week. We’ve already had three blinders from Team Me, Sweet Sweet Moon and Jenny & Tyler so come get involved and get your mitts on all this free tuneage.
On a random sidenote Beccy from Sharks Took The Rest is currently undertaking a songwriting challenge to write a new song every day. Head on over to her blog to see how she is getting on (there are some lovely moments in there already).
The awesome Oya festival takes place this week over in Oslo and a bunch of our acts and friends are playing shows at or around the festival. The best way of keeping up to date is to check out this rather useful post courtesy of Endre @ Spoon Train which collates most of the pertinent info.
And finally to let you in on a little secret – the next installment of our Full Stop To Bad Pop campaign will be MONZANO – the very band that spawned The Little Hands of Asphalt and one of the finest indie pop bands out of Scandinavia. We’re super excited to be putting this ep out over here in the UK so we hope you like it too.
For now I think that’s about all. To sign off here’s a sneak preview of a couple of tracks from the new compilation.
Much Love

Some new news for you all
Well then. Ive been out of the loop for a little while. Feeling thoroughly refreshed and rested though Im back on it and we have much to catch up on.
1) London Loves Solvor Vermeer
Last week saw Ms Solvor Vermeer return to London to play a show in Balham with Ingrid Olava which by all accounts was a bit of a treat. About an hour after she left the stage we found out that there was a spare slot in the offing at JaJaJa the next night (a brilliant Nordic music showcase run by – among others – our friends at Music Export Norway) Cue a frantic ring round for a piano and voila – a second show appeared out of nowhere.
Don’t you love it when stuff like that happens?!
There are some photos of the JaJaJa show over on the facebook page
In other news Solvors debut EP – The Beaming Light – is now available in iTunes, Play, Amazon and dozens of other awesome download platforms. Feel free to support your favourite DIY Record label / elfin like singer songwriter (delete as appropriate) and pick up a copy
2) Uno Moller Single Is Out Now
If you haven’t done so already then now is the time to take advantage of our good nature once more and get your hands on a free copy of Uno Mollers new single – How To Lead You Home. The single – which comes with two new b-sides (“hola!” and “sailing with hats”) is available now to download for free from here as well as www.unomoller.bandcamp.com and www.reverbnation.com/unomoller or indeed at the Full Stop To Bad Pop page.
Its beautiful. Go get em kids!
3) Some kind words on the new I SEE HORSES EP…
