hinah029 - Templo Diez "Crowheart"hinah029 - Templo Diez

"Crowheart"

We discovered Templo Diez thanks to an exchange of records with the French label Intercontinental Records, which had released the band's debut album "Hoboken". Three years later, while hinah was on a sabbatical year, Pascal Hallibert sent us the new cd of Templo Diez, "Winterset", on which we especially loved the beautiful song "Sal". We suggested we could put out an EP if they felt like going for more acoustic tracks and putting the voice of Gloribel Hernandez (who was also singing on "Sal") more upfront. And they agreed!

hinah028 - LunDi "4"hinah028 - LunDi

"4"

Every rigid rule is bound to be broken some day. We had promised to release only one recording by artist in the hinah series but LunDi is the first project to run counter to the concept, with a second CD out on hinah! Two years after "Mobiles/motifs", Claude-Marin Herbert is back with his fourth EP, precisely named "4". These five tracks benefit again from Claude-Marin's impeccable lyrics, but this time the piano is much more upfront, except in "Axes" and its sharp guitars.

hinah027 - The Green Apple Sea "How Else Can We Escape?"hinah027 - The Green Apple Sea

"How Else Can We Escape?"

Although a bit more than a year ago we announced the end of the hinah series, it is back again! And as we are now located in Germany, what better way to start again than with a band from Nuremberg?
It is true that The Green Apple Sea is a German band, however it sounds more like an American folk band successfully enhanced with pop melodies and the warm, sweet voice of Stefan Prange (who was also the bassist of The Transmissionary Six during their latest tour in Europe). We also stronglly recommend their new album "Forever Sounds Great", that will come out on Skycap Records in March.

hinah026 - oRSo "Rovereto"hinah026 - oRSo

"Rovereto"

We first discovered this project from Phil Spirito (ex-Rex, ex-Loftus and a member of Califone) in a record shop, wondering what was that homophonic band (our surname is Orseau) with a beautiful sleeve showing a bear ('orso' in Italian), a beehive and, of course, bees annoying the massive plantigrade. We became even more intrigued and interested as we explored their raw folk music, with an upfront banjo playing unusually slowly and creating a constant unease. After three albums, and especially since their latest cd, the brassy "My Dreams Are Back And They Are Better Than Ever", oRSo has evolved towards a more "open" sound that introduces some fresh air in what remains a mostly arid environment.

hinahgift026 - Fulton Lights "hinah session"hinahgift026 - Fulton Lights

"hinah session"

We discovered Andrew Goldman's music a few years ago, at the time of his folk, melodic project Maestro Echoplex. After playing for a while under the name John Guilt, Andrew started a new project named Fulton Lights, which has just released its second album "The Way We Ride" and its heavier and more distorted atmospheres and tempos. As Andrew was on solo tour in Europe, we invited him over for a session that was meant to be electric but ended up being acoustic after the amp of our friend Éric decided to break down at the last minute. So here is a chance to discover Fulton Lights in its most stripped-down version!

hinahgift013 - Tribute To The Anthology Of American Folk Music By Harry Smith "Anamude, Matt Bauer, Dave DeCastro, Donna, Everything is Fine, Grumpy Bear, H-Burns, Half Asleep, Kenyon, Marc Manning, oRSo, Perio, Pollyanna, Charlie Parr, Sandusky, Shelley Short, The Tami Show"hinahgift013 - Tribute To The Anthology Of American Folk Music By Harry Smith

"Anamude, Matt Bauer, Dave DeCastro, Donna, Everything is Fine, Grumpy Bear, H-Burns, Half Asleep, Kenyon, Marc Manning, oRSo, Perio, Pollyanna, Charlie Parr, Sandusky, Shelley Short, The Tami Show"

In 1952, Harry Smith - an artist, a mad collector, and much more - compiled for Folkways Records 84 songs recorded between 1927 and 1932. This three-volume anthology, genuine memory of the American popular music, influenced the folk songwriters of the '60s to a great extent, Bob Dylan leading the way, and it still haunts today's artists (Will Oldham, 16 Horsepower, Willard Grant Conspiracy, Kristin Hersh...). A fourth volume, containing 28 more songs recorded from 1928 to 1940, came out a few years ago on Revenant Records and brought the anthology back to the fore. As we are big fans of this collection, we've asked some of our favourite bands to pay a tribute to the anthology. The covers will be available on this page as we receive them!

- The latest covers -
Perio "The Coo Coo Bird"
Shelley Short "The Coo Coo Bird"
Donna "Le Vieux Soulard et Sa Femme"

hinahgift025 - Flowers From The Man Who Shot Your Cousin "hinah session"hinahgift025 - Flowers From The Man Who Shot Your Cousin

"hinah session"

Those who visit our website regularly are bound to have come across the name "Flowers From The Man Who Shot Your Cousin" once in a while in the news section. Indeed, we have been following closely Morgan Caris’s project in the last five years and we would very much like to release something with his name on it... But Morgan is a perfectionist and this something is yet to come. Therefore a hinah session had clearly become necessary and the opportunity of an acoustic evening with Shelley Short and Brittain Ashford to inaugurate our Parisian hinah hq was just the perfect excuse!

hinahgift024 - Matt Bauer "hinah session"hinahgift024 - Matt Bauer

"hinah session"

This is not the first treat we get from Matt Bauer: a few years ago, he had already contributed to our "Tribute To The Anthology Of American Folk Music by Harry Smith" with an edited cover of "Willie Moore". Shortly afterwards, he had sent us his big EP "Wasps And White Roses", a beautiful folk piece on which the banjo blends with Matt's suave voice. In addition, Matt was surrounded with nice people, as Jolie Holland and Mariee Sioux joined him for this EP! So as Matt was touring Europe as part of Alela Diane's backing band in the spring, we invited him to make a detour via Frankfurt for a live hinah session.

Back to school

Aaaaaannnnnnnnddddd, we're back! Here is our latest release on three:four records: the 20 minutes 4-track new contribution by :take:. And this is a first for us, it's a CD! We can already imagine the reactions of purists and/or crankies, but even if it's a tinier object, it's still a very remarkable one. The artwork created by Alexandra Huchet and Marine Augereau is terrific: a nice stretch between minimalism and psychedelic extravaganza. More importantly, the music, dreamy and dazzling, is simply out of this world. Last but not least, shipping costs are definitely cheaper for a CD than an LP. Otherwise, another novelty for american customers. You can now order directly our releases on thrill-jockey website, right here.

Vacances !

Finally, summer is here! Before we all melt under the sun, here are our latest news. First, the mini-album by [a" target="_new">:take:[/a" target="_new"> that was due to be released in late June has been postponed to August 23. You will have to wait a bit to listen to this disc. Meanwhile, meridians, the collaboration between [a" target="_new">Scott Cortez[/a" target="_new"> and [a" target="_new">thisquietarmy[/a" target="_new"> is still available and highly recommended. In this regard, the excellent webzine textura called this album "something of an event" (check there). We also received in return a few copies of Does your cat know my dog?, sold out for 3 months. For those who have not already, now's the time! During the summer break we will work on the website to improve it and add some items. We are also working on promising projects, including a 100% swiss-made collaboration between Les Poissons Autistes, Bio and Larkian, and the third volume of our series of compilation and split which we will be unveiled around September. Until then, take good care and enjoy the summer!

Summer sun

June 15th, here we are ! If summer is not here yet, we have some good news, as today is the release date of meridians, the collaboration effort between [a" target="_new">Scott Cortez[/a" target="_new"> and [a" target="_new">thisquietarmy[/a" target="_new">! Above the high musical interest of this release, you may know that the record, composed and pressed to be played at 45 rpm, is also playable at 33 rpm to offer a darker and more mystical experience, that it is the very first vinyl release of [a" target="_new">thisquietarmy[/a" target="_new"> and [a" target="_new">Scott Cortez[/a" target="_new"> under his full name and that it is a limited edition of 499 copies. We worked with a new pressing plant this time and the result could not be better. The records and artworks are awesome and this for a very reasonable price, since meridians is yours for 10 euros. June 15th should also be the release date of [a" target="_new">:take:[/a" target="_new">'s CD EP, but we have some delays concerning the inlay. It will be available by the end of the month, but it worth the wait. We are extremely proud of this one too! Lastly we updated our shipping costs due to the raise of swiss post' rates. Unfortunately we cannot do anything about his, excepting offering affordable prices for our releases.
