Solvor Vermeer Live: TOMORROW

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.

Updates from Lazy Acre

So its been a weird few days. Having purposely taken a few days away from my email and phone and just generally tried to take a few moments, getting back saw hundreds of emails, a stack of CDs on the doormat (Including yet more from Hurts – note to Hurts PR man – stop sending me their records – they make me want to hurt something!) but among the debris and stacks of exciting developments that I can’t yet tell you about (more of which to follow soon though) there were a number of nice things that I saw fit to bring to your attention.

First up: MY LITTLE PONY have a new single out. Its called HARD TO BE GOOD and is an immense indie disco floorfiller. Easily the happiest song we’ve heard for a while it raises expectations for the new album to fever pitch on the acre. Its available in iTunes etc but for now here’s the awesome video for the track.



Next up there were a few nice bits of press to report in on including nice mentions of the compilation over at Acuvi.org (with our thanks to Eira) and Slanted Mixtapes, a nice 7/10 review for the compilation from the kind folk at The 405, and we also found out that Monzano had been made video of the week over at Art Star.

Next up, we have now gotten most of the content together for the upcoming zine (the one that will be bundled in with the compilation that we told you about here) including a very cool piece from BBC Weekenders Natasha House and some awesome little illustrations from Alice Tragedy. She has done some cool bits around some of the songs on the compilation – here’s what she made of Solvor Vermeer and The Little Hands of Asphalt. Treat.


Finally we also found out that whilst out and about in his little car Lazy Bens Dad passed the real life Lazy Acre and in an audacious piece of photographic inspiration pegged it up the side of the road to get a photo.



Respec’.

Much Love

New compilation - tracklisting announced

So then, I've been talking about this new compilation for a while now and we are very excited to be able to finally tell you about it... "Three doors down doing the Charlestone" is a new 12 track compilation that features not only some of the current crop of Lazy Acre artists but a whole truckload of our favourite bands. The twist is that it will come along with a one off fanzine affair featuring exclusive features and articles from some of our favourite bloggers, djs and label folk.

The whole caboodle will either be available as a printed zine and CD / badge combo or are a "you name the price" mp3 download with the zone bundled as a pdf.

All told we're super excited about it. We'll let you know how you can order the compilation etc nearer the time but for now here's a sneaky peek at the artwork and the confirmed details on the tracklisting.
