The Animen in A New Light
20 March brings us the eagerly awaited new album “Same Sun/Different Light” from Geneva-based guitar quartet The Animen. The title is a good indication of what we can look forward to. The Animen, a guitar band as anglophile as they come, have always been soaked in melody-driven sixties pop à la Hollies, Badfinger and the Zombies. After […]
The Young Gods, divine again…
After eight years’ silence – a new album from The Young Gods! It’s called “Data Mirage Tangram” and was released on 22 February 2019 on the Two Gentlemen label with international distribution via Rough Trade.

Puts Marie’s bad temper catches on
Puts Marie from Biel, revived after a lengthy refreshment break, released their latest album “Catching Bad Temper” last September, but only in selected territories.

Revitalised by a time-out earlier in this decade, Puts Marie have returned fresher, wittier and tighter than ever.

The revived Puts Marie raring to go
Towards the end of the last decade, Puts Marie from Biel decided on a temporary split in order to allow the individual members to follow their creative instincts outside the confines of the group for a while.
