Katzenjammer

Rockland is the third studio album by Norwegian band Katzenjammer. It was released on January 16, 2015 in Europe and on March 10, 2015 in North America. Katzenjammer are nothing if not distinctive. Formed at an Oslo music school in 2005, the four girls play a diverse blend of country, folk, blues, pop and rock. From Tennessee's Bonnaroo to Australia's Woodford Folk Festival, the quartet have enraptured tens-of-thousands with their genre-mixing, instrument-swapping and riotous shows. Their 2008 debut, 'Le Pop', showed that they were as fun on record as live and 2011's 'A Kiss Before You Go' was a symphonic journey through the emotions, full of vigour and vocal harmonies. Throughout this all they have done things their own way. 'Rockland' is undoubtedly their most refined and accomplished effort so far.

Wretch is the 1991 debut album by California stoners Kyuss. This comes courtesy of the Dali.

The new sound ranges from finest neo swing to glaring pop to groovy hip hop. Between rap songs, Alice Francis sings, sighs and purrs; she dances swing of the Roaring Twenties and hip hop virtually at the same time. An incredibly postmodern, trend-setting band that confidently says: That’s today’s Jazz!

New album from Norway's Highasakite.
Norway's Highasakite emerged in 2012 with a sound that fused icy synths and dramatic indie pop with a more organic percussive rock element. After establishing themselves with their debut, the band achieved widespread success with their 2014 follow-up, Silent Treatment, which topped the Norwegian charts and remained in the Top 40 for two years. 2016's Camp Echo marked their second number one, setting the table for Highasakite's 2019 release, Uranium Heart.

“It is my intention to fill these hours with as much dodgy opinion, crackpot theories, hare-brained schemes and beautiful, beautiful music as is humanly possible.” (Jarvis’ statement of intent, BBC 6 Music website, 2010)
A musical institution. A religious experience. A student tutorial. A difficult commute from Paris. These are all things that could be said about Jarvis Cocker’s much-missed Sunday Service radio show, BBC 6 music’s gift of gentle musical heroism to their weekend listenership.
