>> STARS LIKE FLEAS - The Ken Burns Effect. Out, September 18th

After quietly releasing a number of highly-praised, mostly hand-traded cult releases over several years, Stars Like Fleas re-emerged in 2006 with new clothing, sonic plastic surgery, and a desire to shed its underground trappings and engage audiences in the flesh. Almost instantly creating a stir and an overnight name for themselves in the overcrowded and sentiment-suspicious Brooklyn music scene, the Fleas began selling out exponentially larger shows in secret spaces as well as NYC's famed Bowery Ballroom, North Six and other marquis clubs, performing with admirers among the likes of Deerhoof, Grizzly Bear, Excepter, Gang Gang Dance, Comets On Fire, Man Man, Beirut, Kyp Malone of TV On The Radio, and Akron/Family (among others). >> more

[June 01, 2007]

>> TAXI TAXI !

Taxi Taxi! is the two twins Miriam and Johanna from Stockholm, Sweden. They write brilliant songs and sing them out so mesmerizingly sweet, that it is hard to believe that these two talented girls still are in their teens. Their debut ep is out in France through Talitres (under exclusive licence from Rumraket)

>> RALFE BAND

RALFE BAND - Two shows in Italy early june (see below) and european tour in the fall.
  • Monday 4 June: Summer Student Festival, Padova (Padua), Italy. Free admission.

>>KIM NOVAK - "Luck & Accident"

Debut album out in France and in a few european territories. "Luck & Accident" will be released in Scandinavia, Germany, Spain and Portugal late august, early september.

>>THEE, STRANDED HORSE - "Churning Strides"

French tour in june - here are the dates

[April 02, 2007]

>>THEE, STRANDED HORSE - "Churning Strides"

Thee, Stranded Horse is the work of Yann Encre. Some of you may have already encountered Yann's work as Encre in his native France, where Encre's two albums became touchstones for the more inquisitive of their generation.

'Churning Strides', his debut album, is a meditative and visionary work, it features Yann accompanying himself on kora or guitar and the luminous sound of his thought processes influenced, perhaps, by his remote Normandy HQ and the moon on the tide.

"Churning Strides" is released by Talitres (under exclusive licence from Blank Tapes) in France only.

>>KIM NOVAK - "Luck & Accident"

From France, the four members of KIM NOVAK have played together since two years.

Haunted by diversified influences such as indie (from Interpol to the Tindersticks, from Radiohead to the Talking Heads), soul music and classic rock, KIM NOVAK not only sounds energically rock but also untypically ethereal. Their music is not driven by any one instrument and each song has it own sound and style which produce a melodic, groovy and electric setlist....more >>>

"Luck & Accident", their debut album, will be released worldwide in 2007.

[January 05, 2007]

RALFE BAND - "Swords". Talitres new release. With two bonus tracks 'Run Down The Lane" & "Moths" - Out in France in february, in march in the other european territories.

Ralfe Band's enchanting melodies take you on a journey through ever changing moods. Tales of curious lands, vivid characters and strange predicaments are interspersed with atmospheric instrumentals that range from the ghostly to the feverish.

From Women Of Japan's lifting waltz time melody, through the shuffling beats of Broken Teeth Song to the eerie free association of Bruno Mindhorn, Ralfe Band utilise guitar, piano, accordion, viola, mandolin, percussion and anything else to hand. Songs are peppered with coughs, cowbells and barking dogs, giving a wonderfully experimental feel to their music.

>>KIM NOVAK

Debut album out in april - Tour dates

[October 03th, 2006]

>>THE WALKMEN - new album "A Hundred Miles Off"

The Walkmen new album "A Hundred Miles Off" is released via Talitres in mainland Europe.

The guitars start at a lilt, and the gritty croon of vocalist Hamilton Leithauser is unmistakable: you know you're listening to the Walkmen. And by the time "Louisiana" ends, in an increasingly insistent sonic carnival of trumpet, piano and an almost-Caribbean beat, you also know the band has raised the stakes. A HUNDRED MILES OFF, the Walkmen's third record, and the eagerly awaited follow-up to 2004's Bows and Arrows, is also the band's best work to date.

>>iLiKETRAiNS - Progress Reform

iliketrains
We are proud to announce that Talitres will released the iLiKETRAiNS' debut album titled "Progress Reform" - Out late may / mid-june in mainland Europe (except GAS) and Asia

Since their first gig in February 2004,have crept in as a formidable part of the fertile Leeds scene, creating individual musical soundscapes that have stood them apart from their contemporaries. After three self-released demos, iLiKETRAiNS released their first single on the Leeds-based Dance_To_The_Radio label. It was the dark, brooding murder ballad 'BEFORETHECURTAiNSCLOSE'  and sold out in the first week earning them strong praises in the national and regional press. 

"while the singer delivers his baritone murder ballads, the instruments cascade, explode and create a genuinely uncomfortable atmosphere with their epic post-rockisms" NME - "iLiKETRAiNS are exponents of a slow-burning blend of mournful guitar nostalgia and contemporary sonic splendour. Add grimy locomotive related visuals and authentic British Rail uniforms circa 1974 and prepare to be spellbound" Fierce Panda - "iLiKETRAiNS stand firmly and gloriously out of place in a country full of haircuts. More Heart, sould and dynamics than the whole of the indie top 40 put together." Drowned In Sound

iLiKETRAiNS will be on tour with REDJETSON early june ( dates tba soon)

[December 28th, 2005]

>> CLOGS - "LANTERN"

CLOGS new album "Lantern" out in Europe january 30th.

Clogs' fourth album, LANTERN is their finest and most varied effort to date. They augment their unique sonic palette (acoustic guitar, strings, percussion, bassoon) with melodica, piano, ukulele, and mandola. Guitarist Bryce Dessner goes electric. Per usual, Newsome adds haunting vocals to one song, the title track: "Light me a lantern/in your lighthouse, my keeper/me a lantern" Consolidating and expanding on the sounds of their first three records, it also sees Clogs writing the best melodies of their career and incorporating more dub and rock influences. (The National's Aaron Dessner contributes bass to "5/4.")

Clog's British tour with The Books, 28 January - 5 February Sponsored by Arts Council England's Contemporary Music Network - Here are the tour dates

[August 31st, 2005]

IDAHO - "The Lone Gunman" - Out, october 04th. Started in 1992 in Los Angeles as a duo, through the mid nineties as a full band and then finally as a solo artist, the band IDAHO has become synonymous with Jeff Martin. He has been the sole thread through all of the incarnations. Known mostly for four-string guitars, low tempos, spectral feedback and production nuance, IDAHO has never bowed to the pressures of being commercial. For his trouble, IDAHO has remained the eternal underground band. By luck the band has attracted a devoted cult-like following. Idaho is like the secret club of indie music, and for this record you'll need the code words ….>>>
