Despite its obvious mastery of the dizzying possibilities of technology, Jumpel’s debut album <em>Samuel Jason Lies On The Beach</em> is a work of intense intimacy and humanity. The album serves as a testament to the power of careful distillation and minimalism, exuding an emotional complexity that belies its seemingly simple surface. <em>Samuel Jason Lies On The Beach</em> will be released on the 7th of August, 2007.

A drifting, organic space in which to lose yourself completely, Cheekbone’s masterful ambient electronica is guaranteed to appeal to anyone with an interest in the possibilities of synthesized sound. Luscious, disorientating and utterly enchanting, the <em>Yesterday</em> EP is essential listening. <em>Yesterday</em> will be released on the 21st of August, 2007.
