O Rosa Records present...
EFTERKLANG collaborators and the subject of a short film by VINCENT MOON, Denmark's glorious SLARAFFENLAND hit Brighton for one of three exclusive UK shows.
The band's musical language is of joyousness and a stirring, psychedelic live show characterised by soaring vocal harmonies, crashing percussion, beautiful brass arrangements.
This is pop music for the open minded and a fresh reminder to all others that pop music can and should take any form. SLARAFFENLAND are energetic, beautiful, sometimes abstract and full of mystery. Most of all, it is uplifting music.
For fans of: Akron/Family, Fleet Foxes, Efterklang, Anathallo, Sigur Ros, Jenniferever, mum, Fleetwood Mac
Vincent Moon film
Slaraffenland (+ support)

Hello world,
Just some quick artist updates:
Rivulets is featured in new zine Menagerie, an entirely word-free new magazine curated by our friend and collaborator Jake Blanchard. The zine carries a covermount CD with Rivulets' unreleased track 'Lazarus', recorded by Alan Sparhawk in Duluth, MN. Order .
Nathan will also be playing at Duluth's Homegrown Music Festival on the 28th of April. Click here for details.
Finally, interested in tracing Rivs' performance history back to its beginning? Here is the place to be.
Sylvain Chauveau has released a new album of solo piano material (one 47-minute long piece of solo piano material, to be exact) on the world reknowned Creative Sources label. Recorded by Tortoise's John McEntire in Chicago, Touching Down Lightly is (to quote Sylvain) "an attempt to place spare notes or chords in the right sonic space with depth and restraint."
Whip will be back in Europe for a series of shows in support of his new EP Make Them Sirens Sing (released by Zeal Records). Check out the dates on his myspace page here.

Wow, 2009 has started slow for us. We're all very busy working on precisions for upcoming releases and digital releases of old ones. ROS01 - Whip's glorious R. Mutt's Blues EP is now sold out and will only be available through download for the time being. This is something we've been working on for a while and will hopefully be near completing soon.
We're talking with a few artists about forthcoming releases and have some incredible albums lined up for the rest of the year.
Artist news...Rivulets (aka Nathan Amundson) will be hitting these European shores again soon, following up his short set of intimate shows last November. We have no firm plans yet, but we are working on a great support slot, with one of our favourite artists (and probable future O Rosa flag-flyer).
Whip (aka Jason Merritt) is going on tour at the end of April to early May in the Benelux, Germany, France and some other places. No UK dates for the minute, but we'll sort that soon enough. A new whip ep - Make Them sirens Sing is in the works, as is a new Whip full-length.
Sylvain is, as usual, busy with enigmatic and boundary-redefining new projects that he will update us about sooner or later. Be sure to check out the new 130701/FatCat compilation Floored Memory...Fading Location, which features tracks from Sylvain's stunning Un Autre Decembre album, as well as unreleased material. A podast featuring interviews with Sylvain and the other 130701 artists will be made available soon. Check out the FatCat website here.

2008 has been a feverishly busy year for everyone here at O Rosa. Our biggest releases to date, a Rivulets European tour, Sylvain Chauveau's beautiful show at the Union Chapel (backed by our friends and colleagues Greg Haines and Peter Broderick) and lots of exciting planning for next year. We'd like to thank everyone, everyone who has helped in any faculty. We have some exciting announcements regarding next year's release plans - stay tuned!

We'd like to extend our warmest thanks to Prof. Grenville Hancox, head of music at Christ Church University. His help is hugely appreciated.
There is a beautiful live video of Rivulets' beautiful "You Are My Home" online here:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=8bscoD25o-c
The release of this record is coming up soon! Be sure to get pre-orders in early!
We have some great new reviews of Roman Anglais by Felicia Atkinson & Sylvain Chauveau, which can be read on our myspace site.

03.3.08
Welcome to the new O Rosa Records site! A thousand thanks to Alex Harbin for all his help.
To accompany this good news, here's some more good news:
The gorgeous You Are My Home by Rivulets is heading towards the manufacturers as I type. We have some minor artwork changes to make, and then we're ready to go. Expect a May release of this beautiful record (and have a quick listen here).
Just as good: ROS02, the debut collaborative effort from
Felicia Atkinson and Sylvain Chauveau is to be released worldwide on
the 10th of March 2008. Pre-orders from the site, though, will be
exclusively available from around the beginning of February.
Are you happy? We're happy.
