Yet another new distribution item in the SOPA Shop! This time it's the fourth album from Singvogel - the band which is A.K. Hansn's main vessel for his artistic output. This time they have upped the tempo on their unique punk rock quite a bit. Still as twisted both musically and lyrically as any good Tom Waits song, while at the same time being as energetic and dirty as anything coming out of the 70s and 80s New York new wave scene. Screeching guitars clash with clanging percussion, sonardeep pings of clarinets (bass and regular) and hints of electronics and whatever instruments that would seem appropriate to bring into this wonderful sonic wave of an album. It grabs you straight off and sends you on a ride, but it is still a surprisingly current journey in what is with any doubt uniquely Singvogel. Read more here.

A new distribution item in the SOPA Shop! A severely charming 7-inch record containing two immortal classics performed as duets by Big Daddy Mugglestone and Margareth Kammerer. You might have encounted them before. The Big Daddy-O kicked off the SOPA DELICIOSA compilation crooning away on its first track. On SOPA CURIOSA Margareth Kammerer lent her mesmerizing, jazzy and beautiful voice to an electronic track by Daniela Cattivelli. On this colourful piece of vinyl they go really old school. Hugely enjoyable! Read more here.
