Lookout, Twenty Eleven

January 6, 2011 at 5:53 pm

Well, it’s 2011. We’ve come a long way since registering this domain name at the very tail-end of 2007, and launching our first release in May of 2008. 7 releases and a couple dozen shows later, we’re preparing for our biggest year yet.

The biggest news of the moment is the impending release of the third Hjalti album, In Solace’s Hands. Final mixdowns are in progress as we speak, and artwork concepts are percolating. The new album is a progression from the previous records, showcasing Hjalti’s continuing exploration of the dark, delicate, and destructive side of abstract electronic music. We’ll be dropping a preview track for you shortly, so pay attention.

We also have more big news coming up regarding our second release of 2011, which will be following hot on the heels of the Hjalti album…but we’re not quite ready to let the details slip yet. All I can say is that we’re really excited to be expanding our boundaries a bit with this release…

Finally (for the moment), Miniature Airlines will be playing live later in January, in Bremerton, WA. Again, we’re not ready to spill the details, but rest assured, once everything is finalized, you’ll see that info here.

Car Stereo Destroys Michael Bolton Tape

Releases

If Once We Lose This Light

The third full-length album from Hjalti is finally here, and it’s a monster. Chords stretch and drag, pulled like tides reacting to some distant mass, while thundering drums press in from all around…

the Arrivals & Departures Remixes

9 Remixes from the Arrivals & Departures LP, and one new introductory track.

Arrivals & Departures

The debut full-length from Miniature Airlines. 11 tracks, ranging from poppy bliss-out, to full-on spastic meltdown.

And Will You Leave Me Thus? Say No. Say No. Say No.

rom deep, deep bass, welling up from nothingness, to the harsh metallic screams that herald some vague apocalypse, this new Hjalti album is a journey of extremes…
