NLF 3
http://nlf3.bandcamp.com/
Parisian krautrock/tropical music of the highest order – ‘ Today pop is fascinated sub bass synths and force-feeding its top lines to singers as puppet presidents. In this light NLF3’s achievement in harmonizing two ever-diverging art forms is given extra gravitas. Ultimately this is a beautiful, unique and sincere album of instrumental pop. Don’t let it get away.’ Drowned in sound
The Liftmen
They say this -‘Bristol's scuzzy post-rock charmers return to Twisted Nerve with an overdue follow-up to their acclaimed and eponymous 2008 debut. Sensitively mixed by former Portishead player Jim Barr, 'Luftwaffe Pond' finds the group at a cool junction of Indie-pop, '60s psyche, Krautrock and suave Jazz influences’. BOOMKAT
