indie

Silber Records with their “Drone love honesty sound” motto is one of them. Focusing on leftfield indie genres like slowcore, shoegaze and their bigger brother post-rock, they’ve become a go to label for everything that includes wall of sound in their 13 year history.

The idea of progress has been slowly dying. No one wants to live in the future. No finds the Future attractive any longer. The only thing left to believe in is collapse. That’s not boring! The end of civilization would be terribly exciting, and unlike any future we could imagine, probably more likely. We all are collapsitarians these days.

We’ve always been late late in dealing with the passing year; but this time we’re way into the new one. God only knows what next year will bring but knowing that lots of readers are still hunting good albums from 2008 here’s one final post about 2008 with a cream of the crop selection and we go straight to 2009! Promise!

For some reason even though undomondo readership has been fairly stagnant (about 10K people a month if you wonder) somehow the amount of PR material we get has increased exponentially. These are the songs that has trickled down through over 200 emails we got last month.

More good stuff that hit our mailboxes in September were:
* Release no.7 from Munich based Jazz & Milk records.
* 3rd album from UK based composer and singer Simon Bookish.
* 40th release on the Italian Dharmasound netlabel.

Went through some netlabel releases in the weekend, but haven’t found the time to post about them on Sunday. I’ve picked one standout track from each release with minimum commentary, because there’s so much good stuff to review and they’re all free, so you can download them and decide for yourself :)
