The BILDERS are groups of various musicians and friends from New Zealand, Australia, United States, Germany, Austria and France. In 2013 there were 3 different line-ups, one in Australia, one in New Zealand and one in Germany. The New Zealander musician and writer Bill Direen stands in the centre of these groups. Their melodic minimal art pop is just like the Blurt.
Now here is a special 7″ vinyl with 3 tracks from 3 different line-ups. It consists a situationist exposé of current damn fool world political events: „The utopians R just out of boozin”; an appealing ballad plus a simmering live extract from a recent European tour. The ballad is like a song by Mick Harvey

SmartGuy Records (US)

In the NZ-er band the drummer is Stu Kawovski (Stuart Page), who also in the best alternative pop band of New Zealand, The Axemen.

It was written between the catastrophes
by charming Swedish songtress

„Gamel” LP, CD on Thrill Jockey

Lust For Youth started as the Swedish Hannes Norrvide’s cold wave synth-pop project.  It has became a trio. Their music is like the eraly Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, New Order or Desireless (do you remember Voyage, voyage?). This “record deals with the rootless, sometimes almost inhuman, nature of traveling and touring. Hotel rooms and strangers’ beds, drugs and clubs, and the impossibility of living a regular life.”

„International” LP, CD on Sacred Bones. 3rd track is a remix.

Ian Hicks and Patricia Hall were brought together through
a common love of 1970s and 80s synthesizer music.
Inspiration came to them by way of experimental electronic sounds,
film soundtracks, early industrial music, minimal synth, house,
techno, synth pop, krautrock, psychedelic rock and shoegaze.
