Kasper Bjørke – Standing on Top of Utopia (Review)

Kasper Bjørke

Standing on top of Utopia

Released by hfn


Kasper Bjørke has had a lengthy career, and here’s his second full-length album. He comes from the heart of the thriving Copenhagen electronic scene along with Trentemøller. After more than a decade as a busy producer and DJ, Kasper has released his work on labels like Plant Music, Fine, Thugfucker and V2 Records and received a Danish Music Award as Best Producer for the well-known project Filur. Standing On Top Of Utopia is a multi-genre journey through glittering synthesizer jams, warm throbbing post-disco trips, dark pop songs and haunting minimal house with an analogue feel. Bjørke employs a handful of Danish singers--Louise Foo, who is sister to Sharin of The Ravonettes, Tomas Höffding of WhoMadeWho, and Jacob Bellens--instrumentalists like Davide Rossi (Coldplay, Røyksopp), and American musicians Kap10Kurt and Dominique Keegan for this offering.

Hello Morning – Self Titled EP (Review)

Hello Morning

Self Titled EP

Released by Timber Carnival Records


The gentlemen of Hello Morning are no aliens to the world of music. In fact, the members separately made a name for themselves early on while performing in other bands such as Jonah, Smalltown Poets, Sappo, Boy Eats Drum Machine, and Chris Robley & the Fear of Heights. But it wasn’t until 2007 that they finally came together to form Hello Morning. Now, three years since the band was officially founded, the guys from Portland, Oregon have completed their self titled debut EP and are copiously equipped to make a distinct avowal.
