Less is Lost

High class limited edition digipak (incl. bonus live CD) and double gatefold LP. So what exactly are the unmistakable criteria of a typical Magnum song? First of all of course founder members Bob Catley s charismatic vocals and guitarist Tony Clarkin s melodic, relentlessly driving, rocking songwriting. In addition, the British band s compositions all ooze a magic that s difficult to describe, an enchanting ambience created by Clarkin`s poetic lyrics that create sonic images in their fans minds. No doubt about it: it s the interplay of a number of different elements that have made Magnum one of the most charismatic British rock acts for more than forty years and have their music stand out to this day.

After collaborating together for more than a decade, Jenny Hval and Håvard Volden released their first album under the Lost Girls moniker in 2021: Menneskekollektivet. The record received rave reviews, including a Best New Music mark at Pitchfork. Now the duo release their second album Selvutsletter.

“Lost and Found” is the name of the debut record of young German saxophonist Tian, alias Christian Korthals. Tian has collected his musical stories about losing and finding during his one-year journey around the world as a street musician. For his jazz and latin influences, the German press has compared Tian’s music to Sonny Rollins, but it is certainly the Flamenco elements that add a unique touch to the traditional jazz combo line-up. While experiment and improvisation do play a big role, Tian has arranged his music clearly, always keeping it understandable, and the message clear: Don’t fear the unknown.
