Hotel,
Hotel - under sea, over storm
MP3 EP 2008 | Silber 067 6 tracks, 37 minutes free download from Archive.org While we’re anticipating the release of their new album The Sad Sea on Silber shortly, I figured we’d introduce them to the rest of you with this live performance. Recorded on October 20, 2005 at J&J’s in Denton, Texas with a line-up of P.D. Wilder (guitar), Justin Lemons (guitar), Patrick Patterson (violin), Francesca Riedle (violin), & Evan Caverninha (drums); Under Sea, Over Storm captures the band early on showing the atmospheric post rock they’ve been perfecting over the years. One flowing piece divided into several song ideas, themes, & improvisations; this gives you an idea not only of their live show, but what to look forward to on their upcoming studio recordings as well. |

Lycia
- Cold
CD Album 2007 | Silber 061 9 tracks, 58 minutes $12 ~ Paul Lloyd, Sideline Despite being one of Lycia’s more atmospheric works, Cold became a big hit amongst the black metal & space rock crowds expanding their fan base greatly. On the Cold tour, one would typically see as many fans in Hawkwind & Motorhead t-shirts as Sisters of Mercy t-shirts; forty-year-old rockers standing next to teenaged Goths. |

Hearts Mom
MP3/CD-R compilation 2007 | Silber 060 11 tracks, 40 minutes
Everyone has a different style of song to show their love from heavy metal (Wrong Brothers) to post-rock (Glissade, Electric Bird Noise) to noise (Moral Crayfish) to simply acoustic guitar (Remora). While most went the instrumental route, the songs with vocals by Plumerai & Miss Massive Snowflake show the tongue-in-cheek comedy that we all use to tell our moms we love them.

Mike
VanPortfleet - Beyond the Horizon Line
CD Album 2004 | Silber 034 10 tracks, 62 minutes $12
~ David Poseidon, Gothic Beauty Mike VanPortfleet's post-Lycia debut is an ambient album built from the ground up with loop sources & effects into shimmering walls & minimalist soundscapes. Crystalline harmonic washes resonating from the cold depths of mind & matter. Glacial rhythms & serenity through fathoms of uncharted seas.
