Excerpt: "The Australian indie label with a focus on  ambient, instrumental post-rock and has a publication frequency,  constant as a metronome....

I had heard (little) so far by the Quartet of  Portland.... "Catch" is already the third album and the  music is of poor parents. These  parents are, as so often, the most sustainable and fruitful music era,  namely the good old 80s. (Iretsu's Music) goes between the poles of Experimental indie pop and  driving post-punk New Wave, the clear direction for the here and now.

The Australian label picks out the (from the) world  little-known music pearls to match the portfolio. Among other things, <a href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/project/markus-mehr/&amp;zenid=72236e0537d5d77c33b4ca47cbaff3e6" target="_blank">Markus Mehr</a>, a native of Germany  multi-instrumentalist who has determined a lot Klaus Schulz and  Tangerine Dream records are in the closet. Atmospheric, flat and  sounds that waft.... Soon, the album <em>Lava</em> from which comes  the song <a href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=46&amp;products_id=140&amp;zenid=72236e0537d5d77c33b4ca47cbaff3e6" target="_blank"><em>Hubble</em></a>.

The American duo  <a href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=45&amp;zenid=72236e0537d5d77c33b4ca47cbaff3e6" target="_blank">Boxharp</a> from North Carolina is that to much snappier and exhilarating. Light footed by Wendy Allen and Scott Solter's minimalism,  electronic and pop together,  their music sounds like (the) bell-like voice of spring mixed with dancing snowflakes on  a sunny winter day. Good  humor is a must. The song <a href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=45&amp;products_id=138&amp;zenid=72236e0537d5d77c33b4ca47cbaff3e6" target="_blank"><em>The Green</em></a> is (available for) free, the  eponymous album is (to be) released soon. We also recommend the <a href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=45&amp;products_id=135" target="_blank"><em>Loam Arcane EP</em></a>, which was released a few weeks ago as a purely digital publication.... the duo was praised in the end by David  Bowie himself.

Quite (a)  different sound (is boasted) from Seattle's <a href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=35" target="_blank">Hotels</a>. It is a  rather strange mixture of Wave, Shoegaze, and surf music. Surf music, this strange  phenomenon of crazy long believed dead, hawaiihemdiger instrumental  guitar music from California. While one can not really (define) Hotels give their mixture a dark, thrilling note. Lo-Fi and Film Noir are the keywords. The music of Hotels, (is a) soundtrack for a thriller in black and white. Released last year via Hidden Shoal album <a href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=35&amp;products_id=100"><em>Where Hearts Go Broke</em></a>."
