EardrumsPop, the label

Big news! EardrumsPop with monthly, free, digital singles!

Team — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 11:37:44 +0000

Big news!
This autumn, probably in October, we will start releasing a series of free, monthly digital singles. The singles will have all the qualities from the compilations, – good cover art, a booklet and of course good music. The singles will include 2 original songs + probably also a cover of a band the single-artists think deserve more attention. We’re currently working on the release-plan + searching for new bands and illustrators.

If you want to be a part of this, either as a musician or an illustrator, contact us as soon as possible, and we’ll give you more info about the project.

We will update you soon with the release schedule and more details!

Have fun!

Finally, “Between Two Waves” is ready for download!

(The artwork for Volume B, handmade by Julia Pax and Ronald Scharf as a collaboration).

After months of work, we are FINALLY happy to announce the release of EardrumsPop’s collaboration compilation Between Two Waves. All songs are made as collaborations between bands, two of the artworks are made as collaborations between illustrators, and we’re a nice team behind it all who have collaborated for several months making it.

Most of the bands have chosen new names for their projects, so you may not recognize the bandnames at first, but look at the tracklist and in the beautiful booklet (made by Julia Pax), and you will see who is behind the projects.

We hope you enjoy the music, and please tell us what you think. If you like it, please send your friends over here too!

Release-update

Knut B. — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 20:17:39 +0000

We originally planned to release “Between Two Waves” today, Monday, but we still have work to do.
Our hopes are to release it late this week or early next week. Sorry that it takes time. We just want to do it properly… Updates will follow!

Let us introduce: En handvändning

Knut — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 16:13:26 +0000

Well, so far we have introduced you to Jacob Borshard & Helena Sundin and Baffin Island, and now it’s time for another introduction. Maybe it’s too early, but we just can’t wait.

(Update: The project Trafik has changed their name to En Handvändning)

En handvändning is the name of a collaboration between Fredrik Karlsson from the Swedish band SOLANDER and the poet Jerker Kaj, also from Sweden. During four hours in January, the two recorded the song “Ett Hus Av Trä” (a house made of wood), and while the song was made, they also made a stop-motion video of their session.
The song is in Swedish, and I think this is the first time ever that Karlsson has recorded a song in his native language. While we talk about Solander: They have a brilliant, free ep out on Bandcamp now, – go and get it, after you have seen the video!

Here is the video. The mp3 will be on our album, released next week.

We will not start a campaign to get you to join us on Facebook, but it will warm our hearts if you do

We just want you to be our friend, and if you want to inform your neighbour or your friend about this firendly little netlabel, we’re quite ready to be their friend too. We can even be your fan, if you want to. Did I almost start a “please join our page and we’ll be your fan”-campaign just now?? Sorry….
