- Blackie & The Oohoos - When Light Falls In (video) -

Two weeks ago, we released ‘Song For Two Sisters’, the charming new record from dream pop-sisters Blackie & The Oohoos. Now you can watch the video for ‘When Light Falls In’, which was directed by Robert Bakowski (a visual artist from Liège, Belgium) and features the sisters walking around in a surreal landscape.
"We have created a dream world in which we try to escape from our daily reality and in which we portray nature & technology in a more poetic way” says big sister Loesje. It’s almost as if two (lovely) aliens were dropped on planet earth and embark on a journey on which they explore a beautiful, colorful scenery. Watch the video below.

’Song For Two Sisters’ is out on iTunes, on cd and as a pretty limited gatefold vinyl (also includes the cd).

- Stream Flying Horseman's new EP 'Navigate' -

Last week we announced the release of long-awaited new music from Flying Horseman in the form of the four track EP ‘Navigate.’ Because we couldn’t wait until Monday to share it with you, we present you a stream of the EP in its entirety via Soundcloud or over at 3voor12’s Luisterpaal.
‘Navigate’ will make you shiver (in a good way, of course) and leave you speechless. It’s out on November 26 via iTunes and on a beautiful 10” vinyl. Be sure to pick up your copy of this limited vinyl in time, as it is destined to sell out in no time.




The next installment of Flying Horseman’s Tenace Sessions is ‘America Is Dead’, which you can view on Youtube. This live version is as breath-taking as the studio version, which you will find on ‘Navigate’.

- Ian Clement - Little Knife (single stream) -

Last week we introduced you to Ian Clement, one third of Belgian rock trio Wallace Vanborn and the newest member of the Unday family. His first single ‘Little Knife’ is out now and can be streamed on Soundcloud. It’s a stunning piece of guitar-based singer-songwriting with a somewhat dark twist. The full-length record ‘Drawing Daggers’ will be out early spring 2013 via Unday. A video for ‘Little Knife’ is in the works and will be unveiled soon. Until then, you can stream the song via Soundcloud.

- New Flying Horseman EP coming soon -

You may have already heard it by now, but we will be releasing a new Flying Horseman EP titled ‘Navigate’ in two weeks – on November 26, to be exact. Earlier this year Flying Horseman released their highly acclaimed second album ‘Twist’ on Unday, but they have found the time and inspiration to record a truly breathtaking four track EP in between touring, promoting and playing in numerous other bands they're involved with. 

Three of the tracks on Navigate are solo performances by frontman Bert Dockx, stripped down songs which showcase his particular talent for writing and performing electrifying tunes. This is about as tense as one guitar and one voice can sound. On the A-side of the limited 10” vinyl you’ll find ‘America Is Dead’, an older but unreleased Flying Horseman track, which now receives the full band treatment. The b-side also holds a cover of the Joy Division classic ‘Shadowplay’. 

Belgian newspaper De Standaard have been posting outtakes from Flying Horseman’s Tenace Sessions for these past few weeks in which the band play songs off ‘Twist’. Two more videos of the Tenace Sessions series are yet to be unveiled, which features the band playing songs from this new EP ‘Navigate’. We strongly suggest to keep an eye on De Standaard’s website.

‘Navigate’ summarizes why we love this band so much. It’s moody, gentle and menacing all at the same time, no less than impressive. The EP will be available on limited 10” vinyl and iTunes on November 26.

If you happen to live in Belgium or The Netherlands, be sure to watch De Canvasconnectie this Sunday evening on Canvas, as Bert is curating this week’s show.
