SVNSNS008 : TO THE HAPPY FEW "Digital Graveyard" EP is OUT

It's been a bit of a wait, but here it is finally, TO THE HAPPY FEW's follow up to their self-titled debut LP comes out in the shape of a limited tape edition of 100 copies.

Here's what the kind people at Rough Trade had to say about it : limited cassette release from seven sons. to the happy few are a mysterious parisian group who begat their career with witchy synth trials and spooked out, reverb-drenched vocal stylings. since then, on this evidence, they've evolved into an ecstatic goth proposition. the production has certainly been bumped up a notch, with massive drums and synth-beds now at the service of genuinely heart-string-tugging pop music. think john maus fronting early new order with a generous dollop of rave decay splattered about the place. 

Tracklist :
 Side A                                         Side B
1. E.V.P.                                      1. Dissolved
2. I'm Outta Here                         2. Crack Labels

SVNSNS007 : HAPPY NEW YEAR debut LP is OUT !!!

We're proud to announce that HAPPY NEW YEAR's fantastic first full length is now available.
Limited edition of 300 copies on white with pink splatter vinyl.
Photo and Artwork respectively by Levi Mandel & Mike Zimmerman

Rough Trade says : "limited lp on pink and white splatter vinyl. shimmering stirrings from brooklyn... diy artist happy new year - aka eleanor logan - has progressed from perfectly executed synth pop to a more ambitious, kaleidoscopic sound. a graduate of the brooklyn noise scene, happy new year manages to marry an out-side-the-box thinking with true expressions of the heart through the medium of pop. self-produced and awash with lush, varied instrumentation, her full album debut showcases logan's breathy voice as a tool to elucidate feelings that are sometimes too obscure to form into words. the underground pop music of high places, post punk influences and a sense of wide-eyed wonderment inform 'happy new year.' chimes, bells, vintage synths and an almost zen sense of balance create a truly psychedelic atmosphere here without detracting from the essentially heartfelt and extremely well written songs."

10 euro + postage order it through svnsnsrecords@gmail.com
Also available through ROUGH TRADE (UK) and La Fabrique Balades Sonores (Paris)

SVNSNS006 : I DO NOT LOVE "Worship" Tape is OUT NOW

It's been a long time coming but we're happy to announce that I DO NOT LOVE's incredible heart felt music is now out on a tape in a fine-looking blue cassette shell. The whole tape is over 40min long and it's so great that I struggle to find words to describe the music of this young man from Massachusetts.
I guess that the first words that come to my mind are intense, beautiful, emotional.

Rough Trade says : "gloriously morose and romantic pop tinged with a dark heart on svn sns records. i do not love is a mysterious youngster from massachusetts, that we much we know. from his 'worship' debut cassette we might also deduce that he is lonely and though young possesses a wonderful baritone that john maus would be proud of. melodically, i do not love is indeed in love with the melancholy vocal lines pioneered by morrissey or even frank sinatra, but the backing track belies a knowledge of the cure / echo and the bunnymen jangle. there's also elements of post-industrial loops and ghosted-out atmospherics smothering the tape liberally. accomplished and filled with the extreme emotion of youth, i do not love hits several of the right spots at the same time."

Track Listing:

Side A:

1. introduction (i was very lucky you picked me that halloween). 

2. i need direction.

3. selfish.

4. time breaks.

5. please, nikki.

6. s.

7. pledge. 

Side B:

1. honestly, i am so sorry for not having been better. i still think that you are perfect.

2.

You can listen to the song "Selfish" on our soundcloud right HERE

The tape is limited to 100 copies and it's 5 € plus postage
