Prepare to be showered with Manimal Vinyl love this year. Their forthcoming releases will make 2010 the label’s best year yet – and maybe yours too. Sister Crayon’s “Here We Never Die” is a gorgeous lamentation, evocative of those moments when Portishead’s dark, minimal sounds somehow became lustrous, like the moonlit sea. It’s as breathtaking as it is haunting. Get your hands on the EP next month and get yourself on board for the full-length later in the year.
Voices Voices loves you from Brooklyn and their EP –coming out this month– was produced with love by Guillermo Scott Herren, who as we’ve seen could turn din into Debussy. Fortunately, Voices Voices is already solid gold. “Tape Noon” begins as a drifting dream, but unravels to become a post-rock seance. You’ll follow it’s lovely candle flame into the cave, but when it suddenly flickers out, you’ll be lost in its pitch black chamber of echoes. Expect Voices Voices to cast a spell on you with this upcoming EP or, even better, when they’re on tour with Prefuse 73.
