Amber Arcades - European Heartbreak (Heavenly Records/Inertia Music)

Second album from Dutch-born musician Annelotte De Graaf. Speaking about the LP Amber Arcades says: “If it were called American Heartbreak, you wouldn’t bat an eye. Somehow calling it European Heartbreak feels far less comfortable, almost like a statement in itself. I’m Dutch, hence European. The focus of the record is Europe. As for Heartbreak, for me heartbreak symbolises any kind of falling apart of one of these concepts or stories we invent for ourselves, like romantic love, a sense of identity, nationality, an economic system. It’s kind of a universal thing in my mind.”

CAVE - Allways (Drag City/Rocket)

We'll let the band's label take it from here: "CAVE have been off on a trip — a brief, blissed glimpse into the infinite, and they've brought a generous dose back to us. Loaded with space, groove, and rock — Allways!"
