CosmoPraesidium (Eiderdown Records)

…A benefit compilation in the time of COVID-19…

Times are strange and we all need to lean on our communities if we have them, or the kindness of strangers if we don’t. Eiderdown is thankful for the musical community that surrounds and nourishes us and those same folks have come forward to help out others. We hope these sounds give you solace, entertainment, or just a brief respite from the stresses of life. Your purchase of this compilation will go to help someone feed themsleves, their families, and get down the road a little bit more.

Minna Miteru (A Compilation Of Japanese Indie Music) (Morr Music)

In collaboration with Markus Acher’s Alien Transistor label, Morr Music presents a collection of hard-to-find Japanese independent music, compiled by Saya, who plays with Ueno Takashi in the iconic duo Tenniscoats. They are part of a current music scene, which is little known outside of Japan. „Minna Miteru“ focuses on that very scene: the featured bands and musicians share a certain idea of DIY, and are also connected through frequent collaborations and mutual appreciation.
