Enjoy!

Matt Gurley aka Fooberdoobs has made a really interesting one-guitar piece
of Mooie Island. And we are in a really classy company, as he has covered
The Smiths, My Bloody Valentine, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Pixies etc. The
guy has around fifty covers on his YouTube page, all made with acoustic
guitar and added  "1 & 1/2 cups of reverb, 2 cups of distortion".
We sure like the recipe!

We had a blast at playing three gigs in Yokohama and Tokyo. Special Thanks to Broken Little Sister, Tron and Luminous Orange! We enjoyed sharing the stage with you, guys! And all the Japanese fans, we love you.
All that Karaoke and Japanese food (including raw horse meat and some other stuff, we couldn't even put a name on :)), that's something to remember for a long time.

After well-received new album Pia Fraus comes with some new releases from indie label Seksound. They are happy of new split-single on 7" vinyl record by Pia Fraus and Ulrich Schnauss. After longtime friendship they have come to this split single, on one side is track by Pia Fraus which is produced by Ulrich Schnauss and other side has track by Ulrich Schnauss produced by Pia Fraus. Single is mastered at legendary Abbey Road Studio in London by Steve Rook (who's portfolio is full of our favorite indie albums).
Pia Fraus is best estonian shoegaze group and has gathered fandom around the world. Their last album After Summer was produced by Norman Blake (Teenage Fanclub). You can call Ulrich Schnauss star of electronic shoegaze scene. German artist and Estonian band became friends at their gig in London. They have toured together in Estonia and now they have come to this record.Mute the Birds was one of critically acclaimed tracks from last album, but now you get new ulrichschnaussed version. Beautiful song gets much more lush epicness known from Schnauss music. Ships Will Sail can be called new hit from Schnauss. Pia Fraus tops the typical lush syntheticness with more natural sounds, walls of guitars and some other pleasant sounds.

Pia Fraus had many international projects going on while releasing After Summer, their last album which is produced by Glaswegian Norman Blake (Teenage Fanclub). Now they are ready with remix compilation Ten Mixes of Yenissey, released by Seksound. Yenissey was first result from cooperation between Pia Fraus and Norman Blake. Band is very proud of this remix album, as remixers are all their favorites from all around the world. International list is very impressive, many well-known indierock artists, especially from Scotland, dreamland of indiepop. Old friend Bill Wells goes onto jazzy trip over Yenissey. International Airport loves little things and Future Pilot AKA goes massive with global music influences. Teenage Fanclub ends compilation with little dreamy introspection on themes of Yenissey. Seeland (Duophonic artist) wanders around noisy and krauty soundwaves. Legendary His Name Is Alive loves noisy part of Pia Fraus. Also best names of local scene are presented and Pia Fraus also offers newer version of track. Galaktlan with lovely electro and 3pead fusing estonian indie and dance history are for little indie dancefloors. Mirabilia makes it contemporary psychpop. Hopefully you are not tired of Yenissey by now!
