Filed Under: News

Playing with total freedom from any predefined structure, Covarino/Incorvaia entered a studio in Granada, Spain, with just one rule – to play strictly live, not use any studio trickery such as overdubs or editing, and just see how the music would evolve. The result is an instrumental ambient-rock album that takes influences from artists such as Tortoise and The For Carnation. Discover COVARINO/INCORVIA | Perugia (Preserved Sound)

THE ORB | COW / Chill Out,World ! (Kompakt)

Filed Under: News

Being pioneers with a new album created in no more than 6 months, THE ORB are bound to be exposed to fan expectations running high, while quizzical questions about little fluffy clouds and the good old times take over.

For the first release of the label, Na Nich and Vero have contributed two joint-produced tracks that are to become their first publicly available material under their current aliases.
