a few words by osenboz:

actually i didn't wanted to post a second release
today... but this deserves an immediate mention!

one of my most favourite musicians "josé gonzález"
put his solo-project aside for a while and is now
busy working with "elias araya" and "tobias winterkorn"
on the debut-release for their band "junip".

the cd will be released on 13. september, and because
of the long waiting-time, they decided to offer the
first 4-tracks ep for free!!

on this ep you'll find the typical guitar-playing
and singing of josé gonzález combined with some
dark synths, and drums - a very nice combination!

if you're not familiar to josé gonzález's solo-project,
don't forget to have a look at his homepage!
he's an amazing artist!

below you can listen to the song "turn to the assassin"
by junip which can be found on the "black refuge ep"




have a nice listen!
...and if you like the release, don't forget to leave

a few words by osenboz:

a few days ago "priam" from "kemez's music shelf" contacted
me and told me about his finally released first compilation.
and after visiting his beautiful site, i immediately checked
the release-page to see what he has compiled.

and what i found was way more than expected!
after just the first few seconds of "i am oak",
i was totally captivated.
also the rest of the compilation is filled with alot
of very nice songs, by artists who give their music away
for free, or release their cd's commercially.
(all of them has been asked for permission to give the
specific songs away for free!)

also some special-goodies appear on the compilation:
the song "down here" by "stateless" can currently be found
nowhere else! and allison crowe's "effortless" is
an unmixed original version.

all in all i can say that when you listen to this
compilation, you hear that the "compiler" had not just
taken the first few songs he liked. he spent alot of time
searching for the right ones (actually about half a year!)
to capture a wide range of emotions.

...and of course, don't forget to visit his sites:

general site about free-music: kemez´s music shelf
compilations: kemuzik



have a nice listen!

a few words by osenboz:

...i hope all of you are patient enough to keep
following this blog... there'll be better days (hopefully)
soon but i try to keep posting at least one release
per week until i find some more time.

ok, enough of the unfruitful tattle... today it's time for
a few new releases!

...and the kick off comes from ker wilson!

normally she's busy working on her main-project with
dan gelder called "the papertiger sound"
(they released a new album a bit earlier in 2010,
you can have a look at it >>>here)

...but about once every year she offers some
free-soundscapes as the solo-project "ker"

on her already eighth release "walking up hills"
you'll find 8 melancholic acoustic downtempo songs which
let you sink in your sofa as it is a basin filled with water.
so don't try to listen to those songs if you
are not prepared for a melancholic-music-bath!


...ker recently also released a nice ep called
"your familiar" which you can get >>>here

a few words by osenboz:

hello my honored readers!

the last weeks i ran a bit out of time, and so the
blog had to go to sleep for a while...
but now finally easter is here, and i've got alot
of great new free music for you!

...and the first amazing piece of music comes from
ellen arkbro and johan graden, the two members of the
stockholm-based electro-pop duo "adam & alma"

on the 5 tracks of their debut-release "back to the sea"
they offer a spheric mixture of piano-melodies and electronic
beats, surrounded by the fairy-like singing of ellen.

when i first listened to this release, i had it running
in the background, and it seemed a bit too smooth and
lovely for me.
but then i listened to it a second time, without spending
my attention on something else... and now i absolutely
enjoyed it!

...so please mind my tip for this release:
give it at least a second listen!

yamamoto - summer songs for winter people

if you want to download the whole release, click on the cover

a few words by osenboz:

as we all know... good things take time...
and the best example to proove this saying is
"the pony republic" netlabel.

after nearly 8 monts of silence, they showed a
sign of life, and released the new ep by
"mario supereit" and "brenda j" (a.k.a yamamoto)

the two mexican musicians took some beats, bleeps
and their voices to create a very relaxing mixture
between pop and experimental indie-electronic

it's a short ep which lasts just 21 minutes,
but within those minutes time seems to run a
bit slower...

entertainment for the braindead - roadkill

if you want to download the whole release, click on the cover

a few words by osenboz:

finally it's here!

one of my highest awaited free-releases for this year
has reached the "stores" of aaahh-records.

while busy studying at the "academy of media arts" in cologne,
julia kotowski a.k.a. "entertainment for the braindead" fell
in love with a banjo, and decided to record some tracks
showing her experiences with this little instrument.

on her (already 5th!) release, she hasn't lost a single
piece of her uniqueness. her songs are still as fragile as
a snowflake but also as exhilarant as the first sunrays of spring.

as pre-listen song i've choosen the song "roadkill",
because this track immediately catched my ear.
but i can just advise you to not just listen to this song
on his own, but to listen to the whole release closely.
because that's the way how this cd unfolds it's entire beauty.

scavengers - sun dried ep

a few words by osenboz:

when i started listening to the first track
of the "Sun Dried EP" by the "scavengers"
i wasn't sure what to expect, and when the
didgeridoo alike sound on the beginning started,
i guessed of some abstract ambient or probably
any other kind of experimental music.

but what i heared after the first few seconds was
(as john cleese would say it)
something completely different...

indeed this ep doesn't walk the streight way of
typical indie-folk, because it seems like the man behind
"scavengers" is trying to build its own road to walk on.
bumpy, twisting, raw and beautiful.

i tried to search for details about this artist,
but i wasn't successful.
if i get some more information, it'll appar in here
immediately.

meanwhile, i can just highly recommend you to download
this amazing ep, because one pre-listening song definitely
can't deliver the soundscapes and feelings of this release.

a few words by osenboz:

ok, today i got some time...
so i'll try to reduce my "blog-waiting-list" a bit...

and after all those acoustic-folk-pop releases it's
time for some "faster" guitar-sounds!

...and so the kick-off comes from the new-york based indie
rock band "i love monsters" with their debut-release "rescue ep"

while the second song "practise with your heart" is a bit too
lovely for me, "seen a ghost" immediately catched my ears
with its memorable melody, and incited me to add this short
4-tracks ep to the blog.

you can have a look at their new video below,

a few words by osenboz:

i listened to alot of music the last days,
but somehow nothing managed to impress me really.
probably i simply haven't had the time to listen
to the records in the way they deserve,
so probably some of them will appear later on...

but then, in the middle of the music-maze, i found
"bethany deline" and her cute ep "garden level sessions"

this is one of those releases where you somehow
don't manage to have a bad mood while listening to it.
it broadcasts such a high amount of positivity and
happiness through the ukulele and her voice, that
i simply couldn't resist.

a few words by osenboz:

yeah! i love the irony of the combination between
the artists name and the album-title...

...and of course i really enjoyed this release!
it's the debut release of the california-based
interpreter "when the war came" a.k.a. "jacob ninomiya".
he wrote and recorded all tracks himself, and the
output of this 1-man-project are 9 constantly great,
melancholic indie-folk tracks.
(as downloadlink i used his bandcamp-page, because there you can downlaod the whole
thing as .rar-archvie, and on cllct you can only download the release track by track)

also, this release got some positive side-effects for me:

first, it revealed me, that the great free-music portal
cllct has opened it's doors once again,

and it also brought me to another really amazing artist,
but for that you need to wait for the next entry...

a few words by osenboz:

ok, now here's my second souvenir from my bandcamp-safari.
and it's once again an indie-pop release!
i don't know why there are that much great releases
in this genre currenty... but i don't object...

unfortunately all infos on kenedys myspace-page are
in spanish... so i can't give you any single details.

the only thing i know for sure is that this is his
debut release.

when i first listened to this release, i indeed liked
his songs, but they didn't enthuse me totally.
but then the last track "see the moon" came...
and it really made my day.
i can't exactly tell you why, i simply can't stop listening
to this song.

and well... the more i listened to the rest of the ep,
the more i likeed all the other tracks too
...and this is in my opinion an excellent attribute of a song

so be sure to listen to this ep at least twice!
