Montt Mardié: Introducing... The Best Of

Montt Mardié

Montt Mardié, nom d'artiste of Swedish musician David Pagmar, is an odd one. He writes a songs about long forgotten comic heroes (Modesty Blaise), Holly Golightly, a character from Breakfast at Tiffany's (Set Sail Tomorrow) and adopts a Prince falsetto (Too Many Songs Unwritten).

Montt Mardié: Introducing... The Best Of

His rather provokingly titled debut Introducing... The Best Of for Ruffa Lane Records, the label founded by English band Lucky Soul, is a celebration of pop and blue-eyed soul. Arranged to the hilt with female backing vocals that might remind you of the Human League, hhe likes to put your on the wrong foot every now then. He uses contemporary sound bites of the Apollo Space program and slips in a bit of The Cure's Boys Don't Cry. There are so many layers in this album that you will have it on repeat for hours. Introducing... The Best Of is a music lover's album for music lovers.

Introducing... The Best Of is released on Ruffa Lane Records. Release date: September 8th.

Jon Foreman: "Spring" & "Summer"

Jon Foreman

When Jon Foreman, the singer of American rock band Switchfoot, released the first two parts of his four seasons EP project, reviews were lukewarm and rightly so. After "Fall" & "Winter" the series is now complete with the second double EP "Spring" & "Summer".

Things are getting better, but only just. While the first two were filled with tracks that could put insomniacs to sleep, this set actually contains some tracks that will keep you from nodding off. You might want to stifle a yawn though. Listen at your own risk and keep a large cup of serious coffee within reach.

Jon Foreman: Spring & Summer

The EPs are released on Swithfoot's own label lowercase people records, in conjunction with Credential Recordings.
