Foliage is the solo project of San Bernardino, CA songwriter/musician Manuel Joseph Walker, who released his impressive sophomore album Silence in July 2017. He just announced the upcoming release of his third album III in late April 2018 and shared the first single, 'It's Time'. Faithful to the jangle/dream pop sound he's so far produced, the single is an introduction to something beautiful to come. Check it out below.
After the success of their debut album Speaking From A Distance in April 2017, German band The BV's are releasing today their brand new EP 'Interpunktion' on Augsburg label Kleine Untergrund Schallplatten. The 5-track EP is the result of recording sessions at Bear Cave Studio in Cologne, during the band’s tour with The Luxembourg Signal in September 2017. The EP includes two tracks planned to be recorded in the studio as well as three extra ones, which were improvised and recorded live in one take.
Pressed on clear vinyl and limited to 200 hand-numbered copies, each EP comes with unique, handmade artwork by The BV’s guitarist/singer Fred, consisting of a handprinted monoprint on A1 tracing paper, cut into seven pieces. The digital edition comes with its own artwork, also designed by Fred. 'Interpunktion' resembles a sonic journey through jangly-gazey-pop sounds where the listener is invited to imagine and add their own "punctuation".
