Donna Blue releases their brand new 7” EP today. The second self-titled EP features three songs: the cheeky French single ‘1 2 3’, the dreamy ‘Get Away’ and the all new ‘Arlene’s’, which is about a rendez-vous in another time and place. It mesmerizes you into believing that you will get to meet someone you feel you’ve known through many different dimensions. The new song 'Arlene's' comes with a beautiful video, which has been premiered earlier today on Clash Magazine (UK).

There’s only a limited amount of 300 hand numbered copies of the 7 inch available. The EP is now available everywhere and can be ordered in the Snowstar webshop. 

New song ‘Arlene’s’ also came with a stunning video, made by Donna Blue themselves, is their own version of a 70s sci fi cult movie. It zooms in on the idea of different dimensions than the one we are in. How we don’t know if ours is the only one, if maybe we are just tiny beings in a raindrop amongst many other raindrops. And how, in all of this, this gigantic overwhelming thought experiment, you can still find someone you feel like you want to float through space and time with. Watch it here.

After releasing the two singles ‘Will I Wake’ and ‘Golden Pavilion’ last year, it’s time for another new song by I am Oak. ‘Between Worlds’ is their first single of 2019, and there’s more to follow by the Dutch indie band. 

Between Worlds’ is about the search for a bridge between worlds. The song describes the feeling you can get when you’re not quite sure what you are doing or where you want to go. There are two sound worlds’ that co-exist together in ‘Between Worlds’ The focus alternates between them throughout the song, leading us from one world into the other and back again.

‘Between Worlds’ is now available everywhere. Next to releasing the new single, the Utrecht based band also announces a Germany tour in October, for which tickets are on sale now.

Happy release day! 'Open Water' by The Fire Harvest is out today on Snowstar Records and Subroutine Records.

For ‘Open Water’ they entered the studio with Michael Feuerstack. The singer-songwriter and producer from Montreal offered the chance to help capture the next step in their sound within the familiarity of their own environment and studio while holding on to their principle of recording ‘live’. “For us the recordings are a documentation of a certain musical period. Therefore we find it important that the dynamics of rehearsing and performing can be heard in the resulting recordings: ‘this is where we stand and what we can do.” Thus singer/guitarist Gerben Houwer.

The Album is now available everywhere and can be ordered in the Snowstar webshop.
