Deep Elm Records Sign Cinematic Post-rock Duo U137

Adam Tornblad and Oscar Gullbrandsen of Deep Elm’s Moonlit Sailor have a side project called U137. They are yet another “cinematic post-rock” artist that the label has signed along with Moonlit Sailor, Lights & Motion, and Dorena. As a long time fan of Explosions In The Sky, I’m not complaining…though I do worry about over-saturation. The album, Dreamer On The Run is set to release on August 20th, 2013. Stay tuned to The Backstage Pass podcast as I’m sure I’ll be featuring them soon.

Deep Elm Records releases video for Our Lost Infantry

Deep Elm Records has released a video for “All The Streetlights Of My Hometown” by progressive post-rock quartet OUR LOST INFANTRY from Aldershot, England. The video was shot in the Blefell Mountains in Telemark, Norway by director Jonas Grimeland.

“The band’s grand scheme was to create a near 40 minute piece of music made up of nine linked, perfectly flowing parts…in essence creating the world’s first post-rock opera.  It has strong leanings towards post-rock with layered vocals, gutsy riffs and fearless choruses. They created something astoundingly special, genuinely unique and unquestionably epic” says label founder John Szuch. Deep Elm will release the band’s stunning 9 track debut “The New Art History” worldwide on November 14, 2012.
