You can think big and you can think really big. German musician Chris Burda, half of post-rock duo Collapse Under The Empire, has tried to capture the story of planet Earth by writing cinematic synth-driven pieces about notable geological periods, to be released on two albums. He realised that such a project could be a lot to take in, so the first album will be available shortly, while the second one will see the light of day in 2027.
Emergence, Pt. 1 deals with the early stages of life, which started out as unicellular living organisms that became more in the Cambrian era. The continents were adrift - they never stopped - and the first signs of consciousness popped up. Nature had to compete with unfair odds and life was nearly wiped out more than once. Burda took a bird's eye to all that, cherry picking from the highs and lows..
Simon Karolis, nom-de-plume of Dutch musician Arend Jan van der Scheer, has come out of hibernation with Furious Racehorse, the lead single for his forthcoming album Where To Find Back The Flow. He was the lead singer of LPG, an indie band who made three well-received albums between 2005 and 2012. He has been flying solo since then.
Currently working as a teacher in The Hague he had to squeeze in the recordings of his new songs between his day job and domestic chores. The soft-spoken folk-tinged single is about dreaming about bigger things, but being held back by reality. Spoiler: he is the horse and he does manage to break free in the end. Ilse Hamelink played a wonderful melancholic yet powerful violin part. He shot the video in the dunes near The Hague, with his son Isaac lending a hand.

Colin Robinson has posted a video for Launching the Puddling Boat at Nob End, a track from the The Sandman of Aberystwyth album by his one-man avant-garde band Jumble Hole Clough: Robinson's knack to find inspiration from pretty much anything he comes across and mixing it up with glee - like inserting a line from a famous William Blake poem into a song about writer Rudyard Kipling - is on a par with his musical eclecticism. There is Robert Fripp-inspired guitar in 40 days & 40 nights, quite a bit of Zappa obviously, and skewed homemade motorik drum parts.
