HERMAN DUNE - 'THEY GO TO THE WOODS'
Formats
SHR121CD - CD
759718112122
Details
Long overdue repress / reissue, Herman D?ne are comprised of two Swedish brothers and a man named Om? on the drums. Last year they released Turn Out the Light, their critically acclaimed debut on the European Prohibited label. Mojo magazine observed, Herman Dune's idiosyncratic vistas capture the imagination, recalling the cut-and-paste lyricism of Julian Cope, the deliciously woozy chug of the Velvet Underground and the metronomic repetition of Can. The band has toured the citrus-deprived, pestilence-ridden land mass of Europe, stopping off for appearances on John Peel's radio show and otherwise making quite a name for themselves abroad. The trio currently resides in Paris, France. The brothers Herman D?ne - David-Ivar and Andr? - cite as important influences their family home in Dalarna, Sweden (with its silence, space, and trees), the German writer Franz Jung, and the music of VU, Sebadoh and other usual suspects.

DAVID-IVAR HERMAN DUNE - 'YAYA'
Formats
SHR145CD - CD
759718114522
Details
Finally repressed, As one of the two songwriting brothers for Herman D?ne, David-Ivar Herman D?ne has been over the course of the last few years incredibly prolific, releasing two records by Herman D?ne last year (Mash Concrete Metal Mushroom on Shrimper and Mas Cambios on the British label Track & Field), not to mention a bounty of self-released, limited edition CDRs in his native France. Ya Ya is David's first solo album proper (if you discount the fact that Herman Dune drummer Neman is in charge on the drums) and adheres to the aesthetics of David-Ivar's full time gig in Herman D?ne. Ya Ya is filled with offhanded rockers spread through nine new songs and a cover of an Otis Redding tune, all of them well written, stripped-down, and pensive without being pretentious-- as one would expect from the frontman of a band that has been hailed in its hometown (Paris, France) as one of the best neo-folk outfits around.
