Seeland
at MySpace
Seeland formed in the winter of 2004 amid the fallout from that scene and feature two members from the most influential bands of that time, Plone and Broadcast.
Seeland is Tim Felton (Vocals, Guitars) Mike "Billy" Bainbridge (Electronics, Vocals) and Neil McAuley (Bass)
The trio create melodic electronic space structures often reminiscent of the music made by Brian Eno and Krautrock pioneers Cluster and Harmonia with an added Beach Boys pop sensibility and a hint of John Maus' idiosyncratic charm. Using a variety of vintage analogue synths, valve amps and esoteric audio equipment the group go to great lengths to create their transcendental pop nuggets.

French For Cartridge
FFC at MySpace
London-based band fronted by a male/female duo. Formed as an attempt to create atonal pop music whilst at Goldsmiths, the band has recently released their acclaimed second album ?Liquorice? on Dinner With Daisy Records. For this collection of genre defying, style bending art pop, the band worked with S. Husky H?skulds (Tom Waits, Fantomas, Meshell Ndegeocello), who has enveloped the songs in a suitably twisted aural landscape.

Heartfelt
at Bandcamp
The solo project of Norwegian composer, conductor and musician, Brede R?rstad. R?rstad has a background as a classical guitarist, band member and orchestra leader. With one leg firmly planted in classical music and one in pop music, Heartfelt emerged out of a need to find a common ground between these two - to merge the acoustic with the electronic. With his background in classical music and composition, Heartfelt writes and produces catchy pop songs, but never quite lets go of the classical realm. Heartfelt's second EP, Goodenough, was released in august and his debut album is set for a release early 2011.
