BARDO POND (USA / Fire)

Formed in 1991 by brothers Michael and John Gibbons, Bardo Pond are one of the foremost practioners of US psychedelic music, fusing the brother's noise guitars with the sublime vocal and flute intonations of Isobel Sollenberg, the mantra like basslines of Clint Takeda and the percussive power of drummer Jason Kourkounis (Hot Snakes, Delta 72). 2013 has seen the LP issue of their 2006 classic "Ticket Crystals", as well as the 'sold out in a day' covers EP that featured Funkadelic's "Maggot Brain" and Pharoah Sanders' "The Creator Has a Master Plan".

ALOA INPUT (DE / Morr Music)

ALOA INPUT is an experimental pop trio from Munich, and their first album "Anysome" was released on Morr Music in October of 2013. Drawing from a long list of influences all three members agree upon (e.g. Animal Collective, Eno, Beck, Beatles, Morricone, Why?, Can, The Notwist), Aloa Input are well aware of the album's world-spanning approach, mentioning "guitars from Cape Town to Portland, beats from Berlin to Chicago, and vocals from NYC to Düsseldorf". Availability: Europe/UK from from mid September to late November 2014. Also available for fly-ins/special events. Contact Amande Press Desk / Live session / Someday Morning

ROY & THE DEVILS MOTORCYCLE (CH / Voodoo Rhythm)

Once described as the strangest brothers in rock and roll, the Staehli brothers work as a single organism. Everything they touch has a warped feel to it; the reverb, distortion and lurching harmonics swirl and boil in the melting pot. Initially, the influences acting upon this Swiss four-piece seem obvious: old, dusty blues records, gospel, dirty garage, Spacemen 3, 13th Floor Elevators, the Velvets and Link Wray; but dig deeper and their love of free-running experimentalists like Lee "Scratch" Perry, Red Krayola, Souled American and Godz becomes clear. Availability: UK/Ireland from mid to late September 2014. Contact David 'You Better Run' single / 'Henry's Blues' single

FENSTER (DE / US / Morr Music)

Fenster is a four piece experimental pop band that formed in Berlin in 2011, and their first album "Bones" was released on Morr Music in March of 2012. Since then they have toured extensively in the US and Europe. Their live show is a dynamic mixture of dreamy vocal melodies, noisy improvisation, echoey guitars, warm synthesizers and includes a lot of switching instruments between the band members. They're returning to the US for their album release party in NYC and to play SXSW, and then to Europe this spring, with their second record, out on Morr music in March 2014. Availability: Europe/UK from from early October to early December 2014. Also available for fly-ins/special events.

GLENN BRANCA ENSEMBLE (USA / Various)

An American avant-garde composer and guitarist known for his use of volume, alternative guitar tunings, repetition, droning, and the harmonic series, Branca goes back to early 1980s and the "no-wave" era in New York. His first guitar Ensemble and Symphonies featured Sonic Youth guitarists before Sonic Youth even existed. Glenn Branca is now performing with the Glenn Branca Ensemble and will premiere the third part of "Ascension". "Four electric guitars. One electric bass. One set of drums. One Glenn Branca." He played Primavera Festival and Villette Sonique in 2011 to great acclaim. Availability: Europe from early to mid October 2014. Also available for fly-ins/special events. Contact Pascal

NOVELLER (USA / Saffron Recordings/Weird Forest)

Noveller performed as a member of Cold Cave, Parts & Labor, and One Umbrella. Handling the electric guitar as her muse, Sarah Lipstate summons a sonic palette so rich as to challenge the listener to conceive of how it's housed in a single instrument manipulated by a solitary performer. Lipstate has collaborated with Carla Bozulich (Evangelista), David Wm. Sims (the Jesus Lizard) and Lee Ranaldo (Sonic Youth). She has also participated in Rhys Chatham's Guitar Army, Ben Frost's "Music for 6 Guitars" Ensemble, and Glenn Branca's 100 guitar ensemble. Her new album "no dreams" out in october 2013. Availability: Europe from from late October to mid November 2014. Also available for fly-ins/special events. Contact Hélene

LEE NOBLE (USA / Bathetic Records)

Los Angeles based multi-instrumentalist Lee Noble built his signature sound around dusty analog drones and idiosyncratic atmosphere, combining synth and tape loop work with a simple song format. Emotional, experimental, personal and introverted, Noble's work will appeal both to hardcore drone-heads and fans of singers-songwriters. His debut vinylHorrorism was released on Bathetic Records last year, adding to a catalog of tape releases. This past summer he also released a split Lp "Motion Forever" with Ensemble Economique on Hand in the Dark. Availability: Europe from from late October to mid November 2014. Also available for fly-ins/special events. Contact Hélene

ORCHESTRA OF SPHERES (NZ / Fire records)

Orchestra of Spheres' second full-length album, Vibration Animal Sex Brain Music, is a surreal road-trip through a hyper primal, fuzzed-out, synth laden, garden of Eden. Recorded in Italy in September 2012, in the midst of an epic 70+ gig European tour, this album captures the band as a live, hot, dynamic unit ... a futuristic bunga-bunga party band for 22nd century boom-boom cults!! Vibration Animal Sex Brain Music is being released on Sound Explorers in NZ and on Fire Records in the rest of the world! The sound is an explosive brew concocted from the primitive, machine-like drumming of Jemi Hemi Mandala, the quicksilver synths of Mos Iocos, the intricate bass lines of EtonalE and the psychedelic biscuit tin guitar work of Baba Rossa. Chanted vocals bring a hypnotic, trance inducing element to many of the tracks, especially in the crowd favourite, Mind Over Might. Availability: Europe / UK from from late October to early November 2014. Also available for fly-ins/special events. Contact Hélene Live / "Fingerweg" Music Video

PYPY (CAN / Slovenly)

Prepare yourselves for a superdope psych-punk thrashing from the lunatic minds behind Montreal's Duchess Says, Sexareenos, CPC Gangbangs, Red Mass. The new amalgamated group is called PYPY (π π), and their debut LP on Slovenly, Pagan Day, is a mind searing concoction of sinister wah-wah freakouts littered with fuzz, distortion and the necromantic scree of co-lead singer Annie-Claude Deschênes. Super disco-breaks reminiscent of the dance punk of NYC's legendary 99 Records (ESG / Liquid Liquid) slither in on "Daffodils," and the blistering pop of "She's Gone" rivals Thee Oh Sees most burning tracks. Mind-blowing live show guaranteed! Think Molly Ringwald and the whole breakfast club on LSD. Availability: Europe from from late October to mid November 2014. Also available for fly-ins/special events. Contact Ambre Bandcamp

TRANS AM (US / Thrill Jockey)

Trans Am are back with a new record Volume X to be released in Europe In Aug! It is the band's tenth studio release, comprised of ten songs that display ten unique sides of Phil Manley, Nathan Means, and Sebastian Thomson. Volume X can also refer to a volume knob being cranked all the way up, the amplification level for an ideal Trans Am listening session. Trans Am refuse to rely on their legacy as innovators, opting instead to continue to break down established modes of songwriting, even if they established those modes themselves. Volume X continues in this gloriously contrarian tradition, presenting fans with strange and familiar sounds in new contexts, from kosmische rock to futuristic speed metal to robo-balladry to variants on classic rock that are so warped as to be rendered completely unrecognizable. Availability: Europe/UK from early to late November 2014. Contact Etienne FutureWorld Video / Trans Am label Page / New Record Streaming / Conspiracy of the Gods Video

HIGH WOLF (FR / Not not Fun) : available for Europe from mid to late September 2014 - Contact Hélene

CHICALOYOH (FR / Faunasabbatha, Shelter Press) : available for Europe from mid to late September 2014 - Contact Hélene
