NEW RELEASE BY EMERALD PARK

23 Seconds Netlabel proudly presents our sixth release by the Malmö indie pop group, Emerald Park.

In 2015, Emerald Park have taken on a somewhat more divergent musical persona. With much experimentation, their sound has grown beautifully, travelling from acoustic and ukelele-driven tunes to more indie pop and electronic atmospheres, the band having shifted towards the use of electric guitars, Moogs and various synths. The Swedish outfit find strength and resource in this continuous progress, making the new 7-track album "Go!Go!Go!" a very compelling record and listening experience.

Go! Go!Go! is released in cooperation with Smaragd Records and Sound Pollution. It can be downloaded for FREE and is also available on all major streaming services. Still, we ask you to please consider supporting them to help them record more beautiful songs in the future. As independent artists of 2015, bands like Emerald Park handle everything financially on their own and the future of how to to earn some money back lies in the hands of fans and supporters who understand the current climate. With this release we are giving you the option to pay what you want when you download the album at Bandcamp (your money is transferred safely directly to the band with no middle-hands). Enjoy the music!  WWW.23SECONDS.ORG

NEW RELEASE OUT THIS WEEK Artist: Japanese Large Title: Superpositioned Label: 23 Seconds Netlabel Cat: [sec.085] Genre: Indie Electronic Licenses: Creative Commons Licenses-by-nc-sa/3.0 Links: www.23seconds.org / Download Zip / Stream on Spotify Japanese Large is a Phoenix based band formed from the ashes of "Can't Stop the Daggers" a few years ago. They love mixing up genres of music, analog keyboards, guitars with f-holes, Vox and Orange amps, great drummers, and our big blue sky. Although Japanese Large is a band, is has nowadays mostly turned into a solo project, finding singer Jon Partelow working with various contributors like Matt Rickard, Emily Schalick, Casey Dillon and Christopher Garcia. Superpositioned is made in collaboration with Matt Rickard. Superpositioned is an instrumental EP (and despite the absence of Jon’ Partelow’s lovely voice), it is a delightful indie-electronic journey with a dreamy laid-back sound. An excellent example of how oftentimes you can say a lot without saying anything. - Music, at least for me, has been something like a Disco ball, with thousands of faces, every tiny mirrored facet can become uncomfortable again, strange, foreign, new and exciting. This record is definitely an example of that, exploring these ideas without using my voice or adding words was uncomfortable and new again /Jon Superpositioned is a great and colourful composition and you can likely expect some of these songs to reappear in new versions on future releases, then hearing the great voice of Jon Partelow. -  Reimagining songs with words and vocal melodies almost always informs other new thoughts, parts, twist and turns. Turning over new and old rocks to uncover new ideas or angles is what drives this project and me personally. / Jon We love everything about this band and are really looking forward to put out some more music by Japanese Large in the future. As always on our label, Superpositioned is released under Creative Commons Licenses. It can be streamed or downloaded for free and permits You to use the material in you own work or for a remix. Don´t hesitate to send us a message if you are interested in doing this. Enjoy the music!

AZOORA - NEW FREE RELEASE! Artist: Azoora Title: A Thousand Ways EP Label: 23 Seconds Netlabel Cat: [sec.077] Genre: Indie / Post-rock / Psychedelic Release date: 2012-08-26 The grandfathers of '23 Seconds Netlabel' are back with a long-awaited and absolutely astounding EP.  "A Thousand Ways EP" is our eight release by the mighty Azoora from London. For years the band has been creating music on its own terms, which has resulted in a unique and very personal sound, often combining a lot of different genres like indie, post-rock, singer songwriter, trip-hop and a dose of experimental ideas. Azoora consists today of singer and songwriter Paul Loader, producer, composer and multi instrumentalist John Purcell, drummer Ben Cochrane, and backing vocalist Trudi Lawrence. It was more than two years ago since the full band released something together and the result surpasses all expectations, comparable to the band's best work. Perhaps the atmosphere is a little bit darker today and the music not so experimental, but the core of the music is the same as before, and the concept where the EP contains two alternative takes of each of their tracks. So sit down, make yourself comfortable, listen, and be carried away by our flagship and most important artist: Azoora! You can discover all their earlier work for free here: www.23seconds.org/azoora.htm
