Other releases of note include albums by Trish Van Eynde, Richard Hawley, Jamie Jones, Adam Pacione, The Postmarks, Solo Andata, and Variant

New Supersilent Album: 9
now this rather good news a new Supersilent album next month! Rune Grammofon RCD 2092 - Supersilent: 9 - Released 05.10.09
A brand new album from Supersilent is always a special occasion, even more so with ”9” as this is their first recorded output since the departure of drummer Jarle Vespestad in late 2008. This spurred no less than 3 recording sessions and the four tracks that make up this album are all taken from a session at Henie Onstad art center just outside Oslo where all three members rigged themselves with Hammond organs and nothing more. The result is nothing short of spectacular and probably their most avant garde and otherworldly recording so far and once again shows a band never looking back and always pushing their limits. Needless to say, this comes highly recommended.
