Fred und Luna have just dropped one of the most enjoyable albums of the year so far. If you are a fan of Krautrock or motorik beat (think Neu!), you’re going to absolutely love this disc. These two mannequins are no dummies!

O Branco e o Índio (The White and the Indian) are a neo-Krautrock band out of Brazil whose sound also touches upon art-rock, psych and experimental rock. Intensive listening, but very interesting.

It’s bands like this that the blog was initially made for. Finding a Krautrock band who mix in surf and psychedelic rock coming out of China is a magnificent thing. Backspace are one of the more brilliant bands to come out of the Middle Kingdom in some time, and I say this as one who is a fan of so many incredible bands popping up everywhere there. The way they mix these sounds, along with good, punchy, clear production make this instrumental gem an instant favorite. If it’s released on Maybe Mars Records, it’s a sure sign of quality.
