The Black Atlantic
MYPSACEThe Black Atlantic is an acoustic indie pop band from Groningen, the Netherlands. Their music is an introspective and intimate affair of melancholy, folk influenced acoustic pop, relying heavily on vocal harmonies and melody on soft strummed guitars, piano and minimal percussion. The band often uses nature imagery to express their stories on love, death and family.
"The Black Atlantic have crafted a collection of songs here that evoke what it must be like to float aimlessly on the ocean without fear of drowning or being lost." - Love Shack, Baby (Chicago, US)
"An astonishing debut." - Nu.nl (NL)

Not content with playing in all corners of Europe ranging from the historic Sturmglocke squat site in Hanover to an intimate house show in rural Yorkshire - Rue Royale have left their Chicago base to set up home in the UK. Their plans for EU domination continue with an intensive tour schedule of the UK and European mainland in 2009.
Now's the time to join the journey...
Anna Kashfi
MYPSACEAnna Kashfi play dreamy, melancholic music that crackles with the memories of past mistakes, missed opportunities and the emotional games played by lovers in battle. Their new album Survival' features a duet, of sorts, with Robert Fisher of kindred spirits Willard Grant Conspiracy.
