Mellonta Tauta - Rainbow Melodies (2013)

Formado en Mar del Plata por Leticia Solari y Daniel Lopez Quiroga, Mellonta Tauta (nombrados asi posiblemnte por un cuento de Poe) representa todo un misterio en la escena musical argentina. Durante el año del 93 grabaron su unico y misterioso album: Sun Fell, bajo su propio sello El Kaburé Records (que también editó al proyecto EBM Cianurio Patrio, otros descastados). Su estilo musical, alejado de cualquier antecedente en la Argentina, encontraba sus máximas influencias en el sonido del sello 4AD. A los ambientes oscuros y ensoñados característicos de bandas como Cocteau Twins, los Mellonta Tauta le agregaban resonancias propias de su país (como en «Tanguito» o «Gauchos», palabras en idiomas indígenas,cantos de ballenas y mensajes ecologistas. «Sun Fell» constituye una obra única en el contexto local y que, lamentablemente, no tuvo continuidad. Mellonta Tauta desapareció de un modo tan sorpresivo como apareció. Nunca más se supo de ellos, aparte de numerosas apariciones en albumes recopilatorios de sellos europeos .
Quizás este final misterioso sea adecuado al ambiente que crearon con su música y colabore a elevar «Sun Fell» al status de disco de culto que bien se merece.

Mellonta Tauta appeared on the scene in 1994 with their Sun Fell album on the legendary Hyperium label (Germany's entry in the vein of 4AD). This Argentinian band has a sound compared to Cocteau Twins, This Mortal Coil, etc, submerged in the realm of heavenly voices and neoclassical influences. Sun Fell - and the follow-up Fishes & Oceans ep - received very good reviews from the press and fans, then the band disappeared.

But the wait is over! Mellonta Tauta is reborn in 2013. Twenty years later, they return with the all new album Rainbow Melodies, a beautiful journey through lovely melodies: a pure experience full of energy and beauty with great arrangements in a variety of alternative pop styles, graced with beautiful female vocals. A highly anticipated return for the fans and anyone who loves sweet, engaging, catchy alternative-pop music.

Mellonta Tauta is:
Daniel López Quiroga: guitars, bass, all arrangements & production
Karina Altamiranda: voices & lyrics
Federico Aldaz: drums & soul
Special Guest: Gabriel Boccanfuso on bass.

Scofferlane - Announcement (2013)

«Sofferlane» formed in the summer of 2008, on the basis of cult underground garage band “The BOO”. Six months later they released their debut album, which caught the attention of French net label Zorch Factory Records. The label presented «Snippets» on their website. Then came the EP “whatever…” Shortly after the band was invited to perform at the Drop Dead Festival in Vilnus. In 2010 “Scofferlane” parted ways with their cellist and acquired a new drummer, adding a sax to the mix. Scofferlane’s third album “Veto” was released in 2011 and was distributed by the German net label AFmusic, receiving a significant number of positive reviews. Many were impressed by the range of sound on the album, and noted that the band had evolved. At the moment «Scofferlane» are recording their forth album which will be released in early 2013. Scofferlane» have been deemed one of the most intriguing and eccentric bands currently appearing on the Russian music scene, and are best known for their live performances. Their music combines raw sound with complex melodies, and comes together in a neat blend of diverse rock-and-roll trends, unusual and unique lyrics, with a touch of decadence glamor. The lead singer, alternating between hysteria, morbid sexuality and a slightly arrogant insanity, uses not only his exceptional voice, but his whole physic to express himself. Scofferlanes' style and performance, which is never something lighthearted and carefree, always leaves a lasting impression on the audience.
