Sandro Perri writes and records music for almost a decade. Under the moniker Polmo Polpo he did some electronic and ambient, before turning to a more folky driven sound and using his real name. Landscapes that seem to have no borders and experiences of nature are reflected in his work. It fits the picture, that this year he collaborated with singer/songwriter Christine Fellows and John K. Samson, lead-singer of The Weakerthans for a short film about Ontario’s Peninsula National Park.
2011 also saw the canadian born artist release a new album called “Impossible Spaces”. It draws inspiration from Psychedelic Pop, shimmering Sixties Folk and post-modern Indietronic. It combines acoustic guitars, mellow percussion and well arranged keyboards. Here is the beautiful clip for “Love And Light”.
Here is a little advertisement. In 2008 I started the “Buzz Pop”-Fanzine as a personal thing, a gift for myself and my friends. Now it’s time for another issue!

When the organisators of the NEW FALL FESTIVAL in Düsseldorf asked if I would like to do some interviews for them, I didn’t hesitate. Take a look at a short, german interview with the belgium songwriter Isbels here…
Bastian Küllenberg aka. Buzz, Crazewire Redakteur, Veranstalter der Endstation Sehnsucht und gestriger Pausen DJ, unterhielt sich mit Isbells vor seinem Konzert heute Abend im Vorprogramm von Agnes Obel. Hier sein Interview:

Bubba met Mi somewhere in Kopenhagen. Soon they decided that from now on music should not be played, recorded or performed without the other one missing. Since then the girls constantly travel the world to perform songs and teamed up with various female bassists.
2011 saw My Bubba & Mi get signed to the Berlin-based label Sinnbus, home of fine acts like Audrey, Hundreds or Bodi Bill. A first single “Bob” was released during the summer and the EP “Wild & You” just hit the stores. If your up for heart breaking female singing and old time folk and jazz songs, this is for you. Sometimes naive, but always with the wink of an eye.
In the last years Scandinavia has proofed to be a great source for autumn and winter tunes. This october Bring The Mourning On from Sweden will release their debut and bring some warmth and understanding for a cold season.
Following artists like Kristofer Astroem, St. Thomas, Christian Kjellvander or Poor Rich Ones, the band delivers the comforting soundtrack for days that are too cold and rainy. Since 2006 the music evolved through emotional late night talks, red wine and cigarette smoke.
Let’s describe the sound as massive melancholy, room filling and comfortable. This one goes out to the great wide open.
I’m back from a very nice holiday in Tel Aviv. Which also means going from sun all day to mostly rain. But there was a silver lining. When I came home the new record of Josh Rouse was waiting in the mail.
Along with his new band The Long Vacations the singer/songwriter travels back in time and recalls a soft and easy 70’s folk pop. Once again Mr. Rouse has created music that will warm your heart. Recorded in Spain by the way.
Thomas Baumhoff is in love with the ukulele. The singer/songwriter is a former member of Subterfuge, an Indie Pop band from Düsseldorf who gained some underground fame in the late 90’s. A couple of years ago he started his new project Ponyboy.
Recently he put out the EP “The life and death of ponyboy” via soundcloud. It features mellow countrypop and recalls the warmth of an afternoon in the late summer.
