So what better way to use our 150th post on this 'ere blog than to let you know that SOLVOR VERMEER is playing live in Oslo tomorrow night. The show is the Norwegian live launch of her debut ep "The Beaming Light".
The show happens tomorrow night - Jan 25th - at Herr Nielsen. The show details are on Facebook here.
Indeed Solvor also now has her own page set up on Facebook which you can check out at www.facebook.com/solvorvermeer
Here's a vide of the kind of beautiful piano led melancholy you can expect:
In the meantime, Solvor also has a bunch of shows coming up at By:Larm next month including our joint showcase with How is Annie Records which also features Bellman, The Little Hands of Asphalt and Youth Pictures of Florence Henderson. We will have all manner of new CDs and merch with us on the night including the CD version of our new compilation Three Doors Down & Doing The Charlestone, a new double gatefold version of Uno Mollers "Songs from my beautiful colourball" album (complete with a bonus disc of new and unreleased tracks) and the CD version of Solvors Beaming Light EP. Awesome you say? Not even close.

Solvor Vermeer makes the NME
Despite my occasional ambivilance towards some ofthe bands plastered across it it is still none the less a bit of a thrill to finally get the NMEs approval for one of our acts. With great delight then I can report that Solvor Vermeer is featured in todays NME Daily Download column.
Check it out and get a free track by clicking over here.
In the meantime heres a lovely video from the showcase we put on for Solvor at this years ByLarm festival. All this seems a very long time ago now... *sigh...*

Long overdue catch up...
Well… It has to be said I’ve been truly terrible at keeping this blog updated the last couple of weeks… things have been so busy I literally haven’t had the time. Oh don’t look like that at me Blogger. Come on that’s not fair…
Anyway behind the scenes things have been cracking on apace. Some kind words have been coming in on the Uno Moller album which we released a couple of weeks back. There are some here from Little lion girl (on twitter @littleliongirl) and some more here from Acuvi and some from Buried by the Buzz.
You can get the album in the form of a “you name the price” digital download now from Uno’s page on Bandcamp. Its genuinely one of our favourite records of this year – lovely folky goodness. We are currently in the process of sketching out a new split release for later in the year with Uno and another one of our favourite recent discoveries who we will tell you about soon.
We are at present desperately scrambling to rearrange dates for Solvor to come over to the UK for her first tour – as soon as we have news on this we will let you know.
We are also in the process right now of assembling our first bona fide compilation. we have looked at this in the past and never really been too excited by the idea but we’ve hit on a bit of blinder of a concept (we think anyway) and so are busy squirreling away bands and bumper value add content to create a bit of a treat for you guys… We really hope you dig it when its ready.
Shit did I really jusy say “dig it”? Jesus we’re back in 1993. I am the Fresh Prince of Lazy Acre.
What other news? Well My Little Pony are in the process of trying to salvage their second album from the depths of Sjur Lysieds hard drive which recently deceased (hvil I fred gamle venn) so we’re anxiously awaiting news… The demos of the two tracks we have heard from the new record are lovely. really folky and uber melodic. Is it any wonder that My Little Pony is far and away our most downloaded release in the full stop to bad pop series? By A clear 250 d/ls at last count.
Here’s a video to one of my favourites:

Eating Fish In Hamburger Heaven
Well…
Its been two days almost since I got home and even now when people say “did you have a good weekend?” Im almost lost for words to try and explain how awesome this years By:Larm actually was…
All told the week had so many special memories I almost don’t where to start. Lets start with the relevant news; being crammed against the bar at Little Hands of Asphalts show on Thursday night gave us a reminder of just how loved over there Sjur really is… Watching him play a much bigger and equally packed out show on Saturday night just confirmed it.
Heres a wee picture (courtesy of simon at clash’s mobile) of the man onstage
We also were very happy to see a couple of Monzano shows as well which were awesome. Their new album is available now from Spoon Train and I urge you (urge urge urge you) to go and buy a copy in the coming days. You will not find a better indie pop album this week. Or month. Or maybe even (if our friendAlice Tragedy is to be believed) this year!
Friday night Solvor played our joint Spoon Train / Lazy Acre showcase which was fun (and really nice to meet all those guys properly) and then on Saturday played an even better show in a little studio off the beaten track.
This studio was amazing (especially for a studio geek like me) – there was a “Chuck Norris-rizer” button on the mixing desk and an old vinyl lathe which is the only one of its kind in northern Europe – a perfect setting and by candlelight we sat crosslegged on the floor along with toddlers, King Creosote (who was the nicest bloke in the world by the way and very kindly agreed to tramp around in the snow to come and see the show) and a whole ruck of writers who all seemed to take a bit of a shine to our girl as well.
Again there are some photos up on Facebook over here
Once the business side of things was taken care of there was the issue of which of the hundreds of bands to go and see… Megaphonic Thrift and The River Phoenix for two were just incredible, we saw brilliant sets from Children and Corpse playing in street, our ears got mullered at the front of watching 'For A Minor Reflection', we danced our assess off to 'the Good The Bad' and 'The New Wine' and we sighed hazily as Ingrid Olava and Susanne Sundfor both twinkled their pianos with unabashed twinkliness.
Favourite live moment of the week – being able to lift both of my feet off the ground at Monte’s set and still stay upright due to the sheer number of people crammed in there. My Son asked me if that meant I was flying… I told him yes. If anyone sees him don’t scupper my story! Ha
Anyway despite the broken arms (not mine), the monster hangover, the lack of sleep and the mountain of business cards scattered across my desk it was a truly awesome weekend.
We must send our thanks and Eskimo kisses to all kinds of great people – to all of the new friends we made, to all the writers who so kindly came to see our guys play, to King Kenny for having not only great parking stories but also the faith to tramp a mile in the snow to come see our show, to Siri, Jonas and Hayley for making the whole trip happen and to our wonderful artists who not only reminded us why we fell in love with their music in the first place but also helped us not get horribly lost and found us cheap beer.
You guys rock.
anyway I was covering the festival for a couple of magazines back here so ill post the review links when they go live so you can check out some of the other awesome acts we saw last week
Before I go heres a video of “Hope” from SOlvors showcase on Saturday… hope (ha!) you like it
Much Love
