CREATIVE ECLIPSE PR

Artist: Lemongrab
Title: Another Kind of Freedom
Format: Digital, 7″ EP
Label: Mothland/ Chrüsimüsi Records
Distribution: The Orchard
Genre: Garage Punk
Release Date: 11/09/2026

Lemongrab‘s new 7-inch, Another Kind of Freedom, is a cranky yet uplifting patchwork of songs, each track willy-nelly pulling its corner of the blanket, yet harmoniously sharing that same cover of punk sensibilities and politics. Over a crisp 12m41s, these four stylistically diverse songs eloquently question belief systems, leading to, both hollered existential angst and witty social commentary.

While Pay to Play peevishly highlights the music industry’s lack of interest in providing liveable wages for the artists it depends on, krautrock-flavoured Necessary Condition denounces tendencies to distract ourselves with superficial non-sense when the world starts crumbling around us. Yokocleverly decenters the male ego as the measure of experience with tongue-in-cheek lyrics and Delta 5-reminiscent grooves. Finally, No Receipt sees Lemongrab employ a hybrid country-punk formula, poking fun at the hardships of navigating a romantic partnership and sardonically revealing that the notion of a couple as we know it is yet another capitalist trap.

Core members Gaëlle & Léonie  comment: “Another Kind of Freedom is a small collection of 4 songs that each explore a slightly different pearl from the same necklace. The EP is less polished than our previous LP, I Spy with My Little Eye. It’s a return to our lo-fi sound, but it’s a little more controlled in the exploration of sounds we sought after. It’s ironic, existential punk. We recorded the EP in Leipzig, Berlin’s little punkier sister, with our friend Leo (Marchand). We had also recorded our previous LP with him, but in Berlin. Leo is a really creative musician, so this time we decided to spend a few days out of town at his studio, taking the time to add weird overdubs, find beautifully scratchy vocal effects, and—of course—play around with guitar sounds. Since there were only 4 songs to record, it felt like they could each have their own mood and be informed by a different stylistic influence.“

Another Kind of Freedom—recorded and mixed by Leo Marchand at Of Bits & Pieces in Leipzig, DE – can be hard to pin down. Its songs are highly eclectic, but the band’s signature lo-fi garage punk æsthetics push through, making this 4-title collection consistent with previous studio efforts, all the while exploring new sonic textures for a plethora of maniacally fun twists and turns. Lemongrab’s new record drops on September 11th, 2026 via Mothland (CA) and Chrüsimüsi Records (CH).

Artist:The Spacelords
Title: Uranus Omnibus Sanctus
Format:LP, CD, Digital
Label: Tonzonen Records
Distribution: Cargo Records
Genre: Space Rock/ Psych Rock
Release Date: 18/09/2026

One should – no, one MUST never give up – and rarely has this fundamental piece of wisdom been expressed more powerfully – and with such musical intensity! – as a timeless truth than on the 9th studio album Uranus Omnibus Sanctus by the now legendary, Europe-wide acclaimed and highly decorated The Spacelords.

The journey to completing this richly resonant production took the band through a veritable asteroid belt of personal setbacks and technical near-disasters, which the core crew of the stoner orbiter – comprising

Matthias “HAZI” Wettstein on guitar,
Marcus “MUDGE” Schnitzler on drums and
Ekhard “AKEE” Kazmaier on bass

— and yet, thanks to the motto set out at the outset, it became yet another milestone on the journey towards the perfected, unmistakable The Spacelords sound – nirvana.

The song Survive To Win is the musical embodiment of this timeless principle, which has enabled those who unconditionally align their lives with it to achieve the goals they have set for themselves since the dawn of time – and The Spacelords are certainly among them.

This trio, so closely bonded both personally and creatively, is complemented and accompanied by tried-and-tested, like-minded collaborators such as Didi Holzner, who lets his unmistakable organ veils and swathes drift and waft over the ethereally grooving The Spacelords soundscapes – or the masterful work of Eroc, who has co-authored a new chapter in high fidelity within The Spacelords Stoner Sound Bible!

New album Uranus Omnibus Sanctus is due for release on LP, CD and digitally on 18 September 2026 via Tonzonen Records, distributed by Cargo Records Germany – get ready for a sonic journey through highs and lows to astral wisdom and deep-sea-worthy hypnotic grooves!

Artist: hubris.
Title: White Shores
Format: LP, CD, Digital
Label: self-released
Distribution: Dutch Music Works (physical), TuneCore (digital)
Genre: Post-Rock
Release Date: 10/09/2026

White Shores is the fifth studio album by Swiss post-rock band hubris. set for release on September 10th, 2026.

Formed in 2014, the instrumental quartet is characterised by their original style which blends an experimental touch of post-rock, electronica atmosphere and some elements of the metal scene.

Following four albums rooted in Greek mythology, composer and founder Jonathan Hohl turns to his other favourite source of inspiration: The Lord of the Rings, but more specifically J.R.R. Tolkien’s exploration of mortality and immortality. 

In Tolkien’s legendarium, elves in spite of their immortality (a trait often coveted by humans) refer to death as the “Gift of Men.” This paradox offers a striking alternative to the Western perception of death as purely tragic. A “gift” implies something desirable, even fortunate. 

In the wake of his grandfather’s passing, this perspective became the emotional and conceptual foundation of White Shores.

The album unfolds across five movements, each representing a word in a single sentence: Death. Is. Just. Another. Path.

1. Death
2. Is
3. Just
4. Another
5. Path I

Artist: Kalamata
Title: Zenosyne
Format: LP, CD, Digital
Label:  Copper Feast Records/ Made of Stone Recordings
Distribution: Sound Effect Records (Europe ), Echodelick Records (LP, USA)
Genre: Psychedelic/ Stoner Rock
Release Date: 26/06/2026

With Zenosyne, the Hildesheim-based psychedelic stoner rock trio Kalamata returns after years of change, upheaval and relentless touring — and simultaneously sets out toward something entirely new. Released via Copper Feast Records (London/Amsterdam) and Made of Stone Recordings(Thessaloniki), the album marks the band’s most personal, atmospheric and daring work to date.

The title Zenosyne — the sensation that time seems to accelerate as we grow older — forms the conceptual frame for a record that refuses to dictate a single meaning. The five track titles There / Is / No / Coming / Back open a space in which every listener can find their own story: slowing down, appreciating moments, valuing people, using the time we have, or confronting the inevitability of change.

Much has happened since the last album. Kalamata have toured across Europe, endured lineup changes, navigated personal crises and lived through heavy chapters — yet never lost faith in their music. Zenosyne is the distilled essence of these years: a fragment of lived life, captured in sound.

Recorded in late 2025 with renowned producer Ingo Bednarek at his studio in Hannover, Germany, the album represents a shift in approach. While the first two records were raw, direct and recorded live, this time the band focused intensely on detail, texture and sonic experimentation. Fuzz collides with fragile melodies, heavy riffs dissolve into shimmering effects, hypnotic repetition expands into cinematic vastness. The mastering by Role Wiegner (Tonmeisterei, Oldenburg, Germany) adds depth, warmth and a sense of physical presence.

The artwork draws from an old legend of Kalamata’s hometown Hildesheim: the tale of the Hildesheim Maiden who, after finding her fiancé struck dead by lightning, wanders lost through the dark forest until a distant evening bell guides her back to life. The tower from which that bell rang is still known today as the Kehrwiederturm — the “Come Back Tower.”

This story of loss, disorientation and the call to return resonates with the emotional tension of the album, without illustrating it literally. Zenosyne is not a concept album, but a work full of echo chambers.

Musically, Kalamata build on their signature strengths — hypnotic depth, massive bass foundations, trance-like guitar arcs, dynamic drumming — and push them further. Where earlier reviews praised “massive stoner riffs,” “psychedelic soundscapes,” “hypnotic epics” and “a pull you can’t escape,” Zenosyne reveals a band that not only masters these elements but rearranges them with newfound maturity, intensity and vulnerability.

Zenosyne is not just a third album.
It is a turning point.
A reflection and a departure.
A work about time, change and the things that remain when everything else moves.

Artist: Taihr
Title: Allicanto
Format: LP, CD, Digital
Label: Tonzonen Records
Distribution: Cargo Records
Genre: Alternative/ Progressive Rock
Release Date: 19/06/2026

Allicanto is the second album of German alternative group Taihr. The band is a colourful bunch, not only because two of the members hail from Chile and bring a Latin American flavour to the music, but also because all the musicians have different stylistic backgrounds. Alongside indie, progressive and alternative rock, jazz, funk and math rock are also key elements in the musical amalgam from which Taihr is forged. These elements give Taihr a sound all of its own and a sonic depth into which anyone can immerse themselves, regardless of any genre conventions.

Allicanto is nothing less than the logical conclusion drawn from the group’s characteristics. It is no coincidence that the album features seven tracks – the same number as the musicians. Each song bears the distinctive mark of an individual musician, meaning that, on closer inspection, the album offers a broad spectrum of the band’s musical vocabulary.

The album title Allicanto is no coincidence either: Allicanto is a mythological bird from Chilean folklore that guided miners to veins of ore, gold and silver. Allicanto now also adorns the album cover and is intended to guide listeners to musical veins of ore – particularly those meant to be discovered by the seeker.

Artist: Hans Hjelm
Title: The Night Electronic
Format: LP, CD, Digital 
Label: Kungens Ljud & Bild
Genre: Art Rock
Release Date: 29/05/2026

Melodies Find Their Breath: Hans Hjelm Returns with The Night Electronic.

Stockholm-based musician Hans Hjelm is set to release his third solo album, The Night Electronic, on the Kungens Ljud & Bild label. The record marks a decisive stylistic shift from his previous instrumental work toward a vocal-driven, electronic-oriented sound. The album consists of reimagined tracks from Hjelm’s earlier discography: five songs from Into The Night (the CD also has two bonus tracks from the debut album Factory Reset). Hjelm’s melodies were always written as if they could be sung, avoiding traditional guitar mannerisms in favor of human phrasing. On The Night Electronic, those melodies finally find their breath. The addition of vocalists Hildur Ottilia and Viktor Westerlund grounds the dreamlike uncertainty of the music in human experience. 

Produced in collaboration with Henrik Sunbring (oplen, Domus) at Helter Skelter Studio, the album’s production leans heavily on programmed drums, drum loops, synth bass, and analog synthesizers. While some prog-rock elements from previous releases remain, this electronic foundation largely replaces the guitar-centric layering found in Hjelm’s earlier solo work. The album is bookended by Mantraand Artnam (“mantra” reversed) – a linguistic and sonic mirror. While Mantra serves as the rhythmic key that opens the door to this nightly world, Artnam closes it with backward-masked vocals and shifting drones, suggesting a reality where time and logic operate differently.

Recorded between 2023 and 2025, the album features contributions from a recurring group of collaborators, including Jesper Skarin (Gösta Berlings Saga, ex-Switch Opens), Mikael Tuominen (Kungens Män, ex-Switch Opens), and Per Wiberg (Switchblade, ex-Opeth).

Artist: DOPPLeR
Title: Pourquoi Ce Disque?
Format: LP, Digital
Label: Bigoût Records, Atypeek Music
Distribution: The Orchard
Genre: Math Rock/ Noise Rock
Release Date: 15/05/2026 (EU)

DOPPLeR is a cult French noise rock band, widely regarded as one of the defining acts of the country’s explosive 1990s underground scene.

DOPPLeR was formed in 1998 in Lyon when Xavier-Alexandre Amado (bass, vocals) and Yoann Brière (guitar, vocals) met Yann Coste (drums, vocals). Since their first release with S.K. Records in 1999 (EP 51), the band has released a split 7-inch with NED, Der Hase Ist Grün (S.K. Records, 2001), a second EP Star Sexual Fantasy”(S.K. Records, 2001), a debut album Si Nihil Aliud” (S.K. Records/Aere Alieno, distributed by XIII Bis, 2004), a split EP with Marvin (S.K. Records, 2005), and a second album Songs To Defy (S.K. Records/HAK Lofi Records, distributed by Atypeek, 2008), recorded at Black Box Studio with Peter Deimel.

The band built a strong live reputation through around 200 concerts across France and Europe, working with sound engineer Sébastien Guichard (Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp, L’Étrangleuse…), and lighting designer Nicolas Bernollin (Igorr, Amen Ra…), and sharing the stage with a wide range of artists including Sleeppers, Basement, Papier Tigre, Pneu, Marvin, Young Gods, Cheval de Frise, Shipping News, Brain Damage, Fishbone, Ezekiel, Lofofora, Black Heart Procession, Unsane, Psykup, Alec Empire, Mule Jenny, Cannibale, Birds in Row, A Place to Bury Strangers, among others.

DOPPLeR went on hiatus in 2010 and reformed in 2020 to celebrate the “10th anniversary of its death” with a memorable show at Ninkasi Kao in Lyon, drawing nearly 400 people from across France. This was followed by a twenty-date tour alongside vinyl reissues of their first two albums by Bigoût Records, while their full catalog remains available through Atypeek Music.

Buoyed by the enthusiastic response of a loyal and renewed audience despite ten years of inactivity, the band began writing a new album and naturally renewed their collaboration with Peter Deimel. In June 2025, they recorded a new LP titled Pourquoi Ce Disque? at Black Box Studio, featuring artwork by Gérald Tournier (Pangram Graphic Design).

Artist: Patrick Dorobisz
Title: Narvik (Symphonic Interactions)
Format: CD, Digital 
Label: Atypeek Music
Distribution: The Orchard 
Genre: Electroacoustic/ Classical/ Minimal
Release Date: 28/05/2026

Patrick Dorobisz-Kondracki is a French composer and visual artist whose practice is rooted in interdisciplinarity, minimal art, and new technologies. Born on May 25, 1955, in northern France to a Polish father and a Lithuanian mother, he lives in Lille.

Since the 1970s, Patrick Dorobisz has built an oeuvre at the intersection of minimalist composition, electroacoustic music, video, and visual arts. Winner of the International Electroacoustic Music Prize at the Bourges Festival in 1985, and awarded in Santiago, Chile, in 1987 for his video art piece Les Échos du Silence, he has forged an artistic career recognized both in France and internationally.

The genesis of Narvik is rooted in a deeply personal story. In 1996, Patrick Dorobisz composed a symphonic work in tribute to his father, a man shaped by war and courage. Serving in the Polish forces, his father was a commando leader among mountain troops who took part in the Battle of Narvik, one of the first Allied victories against Nazi forces during World War II.

Through this composition, Dorobisz sought not only to honor his father’s bravery, but also to convey the emotional weight of that historical moment: the harsh Nordic landscapes, the tension of combat, and the quiet resilience of those who fought. Narvik thus emerges as both a work of remembrance and a filial homage, where personal memory and collective history intertwine.

It ultimately concludes on a note of hope and pride: the pride of seeing nations once divided by war now become friendly nations, united through shared memory, mutual respect, and a restored peace.

Artist: BLKE
Title: s/t
Format: LP, Digital
Label: Tonzonen Records
Distribution: Cargo Records
Genre: Psych/ Kraut/ Noise Rock, Shoegaze
Release Date: 22/05/2026

BLKE is a Berlin-based psych-noise rock band formed out of London’s underground, operating at the intersection of raw intensity and hypnotic repetition. Drawing from krautrock, noise rock, garage punk, and psychedelia, their sound is visceral, physical, and emotionally charged – built for both dark rooms and expansive stages. Led by German artist Jakob Buraczewski, BLKE have built a reputation for uncompromising live performances across the UK and Europe, sharing stages with Helicon (Fuzz Club), Verstärker (Fuzz Club), Body Horror (Permanent Creeps), and The Shadracks (Sub Pop). Their music balances controlled chaos with deep atmosphere, driven by motorik rhythms, abrasive guitar textures, and immersive sonic weight.

In 2025, BLKE released their debut EP Living Without Expectations. The release positioned the band as a compelling new voice within Europe’s alternative underground.

Now entering a new phase, BLKE are preparing the release of their first full-length album – a darker, more focused, and expansive body of work that deepens their sonic identity while pushing beyond genre boundaries. With a growing international presence and a clear artistic vision, BLKE are building something deliberate, physical, and long-term.

Nine tracks offer a hypnotic glimpse into the world of BLKE. Layered lyrics and psychoacoustic elements form a poetic narrative shaped by the band’s social environment over the past four years. Psychedelic, raw, and kraut-driven, the album echoes long after it ends.
