“The Homunculus, Latin for little man, is a truly tiny creature that lives in the brain and controls it from the inside. Some claim he is responsible for all non-basic functions of man; perhaps the enjoyment of music, or perhaps its creation.

Tiny Creatures return less tiny this time around. They’ve beefed up their sound and lost the tendency to scatter. Still, they won’t have a moment’s rest. From beatbox layers recorded live into a delay pedal to stinging guitars to a harmonium competing with crappy, lo-fi keyboards and vocals that conjure images of the Red Army choir, Homunculus rides the fine line between eclectic and cohesive and falls square in the middle.”

“This collective of lunatics (named after the great Israeli cartoonist) comes to us all the way from the land of baguettes and cheap red wine. This short two track album spans no more than 3 minutes. The music is a combination of psychedelic mayhem, progressive chord structures and cats in heat being tortured. This is just an introduction to this great band, so be sure to check out more of them. “

“Milhaven are a postrock-band from Bochum we discovered two years ago. Sven Swift recorded and produced their first album and this brand new EP. The story so far…

After the release of Bars Closing Down in the early days of 12rec, Milhaven soon became one of our most downloaded artists. In the Winter of 2006, nearly one year ago, we met in their old, dirt-laden rehearsal room and started to record new songs. Hooked by the success of the debut LP, Sven thrashed the old tape-recorder and spend all his money on a 10-channel audio-interface. Milhaven gone digital! We were planning to release the EP in the spring of 2006 until Milhaven got thrown out of the rehearsal room- the ancient school-building we were recording in was said to collapse! Two months went by searching for a new location. When it was found in the blooming hills of a small city at the edge of the Ruhr-area, the sound was completely different to the old room. All set to zero, we re-started the recordings.

In the scorching heat of Summer we banned this four songs on tape. While the debut was recorded wearing woolly hat and scarf, this time the band was lost in sweat and fatigue. I.M. Wagner is less intimate than Bars Closing Down, but there’s a trace of frantic power in the new songs that’ll be new to you if you’ve never seen Milhaven live on stage. Check the noise-eruptions in half-improvised Lord Of Birds or the all-consuming end of Oh! Great Pacific. Still, there are expanded moments of gentle guitar-play you can find a lot of beauty in; the initial parts of Clean Room and the final acoustic-track Firnis maybe just the most obvious examples. Milhaven refined their songwriting both at the quiet and the loud parts and managed to record a dignified successor to the highly acclaimed debut LP. Go spread the word!”

“Xavi aparca por un rato su proyecto Frägil para grabar cinco experimentos de pop minimalista en el que las protagonistas indiscutibles son las guitarras. Bajo el nombre de Lágrima nos entrega “Trayecto imperfecto de un viaje inacabado”, un trabajo en el que la ausencia de electrónica y un sonido mucho más limpio lo alejan de sus trabajos anteriores.”

“Three guys from western germany, who celebrate ‘alternative-music’. Inspired by the sub-pop-sound Colt are a guarantee for fat guitars and chilling rock. In 2005 they recorded their songs at Jangland-Studios in Hannover, helped by the former ‘Eat No Fish’-guitarist. A great idea we think. Now you can listen to their songs in between their concerts. Those of you who missed their gigs with ‘Union Youth’ or ‘Myballon’ relax: There are more concerts to come and we will keep you informed.”

“The Sand was already working on the C-side when Chenard came by. They first did overdubs on a unfinished cut from the Moo sessions, Butterflying, but soon landed and dived deep into the C for the next three tracks. One-Armed is based on a guitar track recorded by Geoffroy Vincens. This is the sound of C. The sound which creates a new dimension. This is a new style of music. Don’t miss the making-of.”
