Looks Of Love – The Midnight Hour (Posh Isolation, 2011) - What a great tape. Very simplistic, downer Punk with lots of melody. There are 6 tracks and most of them have maybe 3 or 4 chords, and a lot of these chord progressions sound alike from track to track, luckily those riffs are all catchy and good. Raw production and vocals that sounds to me like a European Johnny Cash.

En Tragedie - S/T (Posh Isolation, 2011) - I disliked this tape when I first got it but after a few replays it is growing on me. Tape loops/manipulation, analogue noises and field recordings from Hannes Norrvide (Lust For Youth) and Loke (LR, Sexdrome, Hvide Sejl). That's a simple formula and lately there has been a nice group of artists popping up doing this, my favorite is
Crown of Cerberus which is a bit more ambient and raw and
Alleypisser. This tape builds up around the tape loops adding, slowly, piece by piece of droning synth and more loops and recordings then manipulates them. Each side is like a long, fluid chapter slowly escalating to a peak. I would like to hear more from these guys to see where this project can go before I really decide to give an opinion about their work.
