Dutch underground label Tiny Room Records, specializing in lo-fi, indie, slowcore, and bedroom folk, was founded 10 years ago. Label manager Stefan Breuer has launched a crowdfunding campaign on Voordekunst.nl to cover the costs of releasing a double album, Foundlings Vol. 1 & 2, with 25 unreleased tracks.
Dutch folk band Ilsha have made a video for Dear Tree, a track from their debut EP, Dive: "Carefully sidestepping the pitfalls of New Age-y noodling, she covers the same musical grounds that were explored by Kate Bush and Dead Can Dance. It's all about dynamics and harmonies, a gentle group conservation wherein the musicians both allow each other space and join forces to create a kaleidoscopic sonic experience".
HCTF review of Dive.
Dutch folk band Ilsha, led by singer-songwriter Ilse Hamelink, only need five songs to make a lasting impression. Their debut album Dive is a memorable trip through emotions by way of intricate multi-layered compositions that sparkle and shine. Using nature as metaphores Hamelink bares her soul, getting to the core of the things loves and fears.
Carefully sidestepping the pitfalls of New Age-y noodling, she covers the same musical grounds that were explored by Kate Bush and Dead Can Dance. It's all about dynamics and harmonies, a gentle group conservation wherein the musicians both allow each other space and join forces to create a kaleidoscopic sonic experience.
