Rovescio Della Madaglia

New Album !

Jolly Roger Records is proud to announce November 20th as release date for a special live album from the legendary italian progsters Il Rovescio della Medaglia, titled Contaminazione 2.0, available on Lp (first 100 copies orange vinyl), Cd (with three bonus tracks), - distribution Plastic Head - and digital formats. The album is a live recording celebrating 1973's classic Contaminazione album. Recorded in San Galgano, near Siena (Italy), in September 2018 in an ancient abbey from the 1200 without a roof, the setting is a magical place and a location worthy location of Il Rovescio della Medaglia's timeless music. Suitably for this special occasion, the performance includes a string quartet as well as Vittorio De Scalzi (New Trolls) on flute one track.

Gazpacho

FIREWORKER - New album from Gazpacho !

Depuis près de vingt ans, Gazpacho règne en tant que rois du « Art Rock atmosphérique et affectif », ce qui n’est certainement pas un mince exploit, considérant que ce sous-genre est rempli de d’artistes aussi brillants qu’émouvants; Pourtant, aucun d'entre eux ne parvient à atteindre le même niveau de résonance baroque et d’introspectivité que le sextuor norvégien. En conséquence, Gazpacho ne rate jamais l’occasion d’étudier la condition humaine. La dernière observation en lice, Fireworker, à paraitre le 18 septembre ne fait pas exception. C'est sans aucun doute l'une de leurs plus grandes réalisations en carrière.

Conceptuellement, Fireworker continu la tradition du groupe de mélanger les grands dilemmes philosophiques, de stimuler les tendances littéraires et les troubles personnels. D'une certaine manière, Fireworker est le point culminant des thèmes et des techniques présents sur les albums précédents. Combinant l'isolement fataliste de Night et Missa Atropos; le malheureux drame narratif de Tick Tock et Soyouz; et les lourdes contemplations théologiques/scientifiques de Demon et Molok. Au-delà de ça, sa prémisse centrale (l'humanité a toujours été contrôlée par une créature infaillible et omnisciente déterminée à se propager à tout prix) signifie que Fireworker apparaît comme le parapluie global sous lequel tous ses prédécesseurs se produisent.

Witchwood

New Album ! Before The Winter

Jolly Roger Records is proud to announce November 20th as release date for Witchwood's long awaited new album, entitled "Before the Winter" (Plastic Head distribution).

After success of debut album "Litanies from the Woods" (2015) and following "Handful of Stars" (2016) the guys from Faenza (Italy) deserved to be considered one of the best retro-rock / prog bands of the last decade.

The Pineapple Thief

New single and new album coming up soon !

The Pineapple Thief fera paraitre son nouvel album Versions Of The Truth le 4 septembre via Kscope. Le groupe partage également ‘Demons’ et la vidéo qui l’accompagne (réalisé par George Laycock, produit par Blacktide Phonic / Visual), le premier extrait de l’album à venir, disponible en précommande:

Tout au long de l'album, The Pineapple Thief explore de vastes territoires sonores, avec des passages minimalistes construits sur des crescendos explosifs et des passages instrumentaux qui mélangent des éléments disparates dans un expressionnisme fluide pour créer une dichotomie immersive. C'est un album qui tient un miroir face aux chaos et aux conflits de la vie du 21e siècle et essaie de donner un sens aux reflets déformés qui le regardent. Un flou entre le réel et le perçu, entre le sens et l'intention. Le titre dit tout: c'est la trame sonore d'un monde post-vérité.

Arabs in Aspic

New album release: Madness and Magic

June 12, 2020. Hailing from Trondheim in Norway, Arabs in Aspic has been mid-Norway’s flagship of 70s inspired progressive rock and proto-hardrock for the past 15 years. They’ve been described as a sweet mixture of loud, heavy guitars and drums, 12 string acoustics, funky bass and percussion, screaming Hammond organs, soft Rhodes, Mellotrons and 70s Synths, topped with plentiful vocal harmonies - and this is also what they give us on their seventh album.
