Erland & The Carnival make a new album

It’s a curious thing to have a trailer for an album, but when Erland & The Carnival make one for their upcoming full length release, Nightingale, it really works. With images of fleeing children, death and waving scarecrows in an early 20th Century setting, the sinister and ominous music seems ever so fitting for a Hitchcock-esque horror film, adding a great visual companion to the music.

The album is set to be released on March 29th from this English band that is one part dark folk, one part Pulp like Brit-pop and the rest just pure rock. Judging from the album trailer and the music video for “Map of an Englishman” off Nightingale, we’re in for equally exciting aesthetics inspired by the music.

Oberhofer plays at the Breakthru Radio studio


Oberhofer’s performance of their recently released single “Away Frm U” at the Breakthru Radio studio is a tasty little treat for fans to see them live in action, sans a noisy crowd. The single manages to be a really cute piece of music while also having some punk appeal, similar to Matt and Kim’s style. This particular performance showcases all the individual elements of the song with crystal clarity, from cheerful, high pitched xylophone to the harmonizing bass to the speedy drums and everything else in between, including the charming and angst driven vocals.

Oberhofer just wrapped up an American tour but they have a couple shows in March lined up for the South, and if their performance at the Breakthru Radio studios is any indication of what they sound like at a club then fans should be begging for another tour soon.
