All Shall Be Well (And All Shall Be Well And All Manner Of Things Shall Be Well) possibly have the longest name in Post-rock and the debut album they released, ROODBLAUW is possibly one of the best in 2011. What is amazing about this release is not only are the 5 tracks amazing, but the CD is packaged in this DVD sized booklet, they really spent a lot of time and energy on this and the end product is stunning. So to the music, 5 tracks clocking in at just under 41minutes. the longest track is nearly 13 minutes long. From the opening ambient tones of the first track to the last track which has some psychedelic moments, it really is an album that you should have in your collection. They have the album for name your price on Bandcamp, you can’t ask for better than that I guess. Go download and enjoy this great band.

The following is a band synopsis on their Bandcamp page :

All Shall Be Well are an instrumental indie band from Haarlem, the Netherlands. They build on themes, thresh out their melodies and look for unsuspected harmonies. Their music is highly associative; they liken their music to stories rather than songs.

DALOT INTERVIEW PART 2

RECORD OF THE WEEK 

http://www.dalot.net/

One of Fade To Yellow’s favorite record labels, n5MD, is proud to present the sophomore album from sound artist Maria Papadomanolaki’s electro-acoustic project Dalot. The album—titled ‘Minutestatic’—was originally borne of late night improvisations that were sparked by events in Maria’s life that created a sincere and richly emotional canvas. Over a period of a few months she took the 10 original sketches and sculpted them into something truly emotionally striking and texturally dense. Songs like ‘The Blue Car’ and “The Empty Desk’ gleam of ethereally interweaving guitar strokes, where-as album opener ‘Cause & Effect’ and album mid-point “a letter’ go deeper into shaping labyrinth-like soundscapes mirroring the perplexity of the artist’s vision. Even the aurally claustrophobic “investigation” has an implied detached feeling which is delicately rendered by a wall of hazy and indiscernible guitar riffs. In “Minutestatic” Dalot has made an album that is personal and reflective while remaining personally accessible and compelling to the listener. In such is a journey that seems to reveal a cascade of emotions.
