Seth Frightening
B.Hoo/The Prince and His Madness
Sonorous Circle
Seth Frightening are from New Zealand and it's not surprising that this is connected to the Glass Vaults (via small country/music scene/label). Seth Frightening plays eerie bedroom folk. And while the 2010 release The Princes and his Madness is a bit more light, airy and kind of a fantasy story, B.Hoo and the 2011 material is somehow more heavy-hearted and massive. It reminds me a bit on Mt. Moon and the Jakob Battick & Friends progression. It's also highly recommended for friends of Phil Elvrum/Microphones and early Mt. Eerie.
You can download all three releases for free from their bandcamp.
These tracks are totally ace: Can We Eat It (Truth) So We Know What To Say (Visions!), The Prince and His Voice Recorders (Part One), I'll Miss, Coming Clean., Even If I Die... (Classical)
9,5/10
