and the info for the release translated from Portuguese to English:

2011 was the best year of Sinewave . Fired.
I do not have numbers yet, want to generate a report in early 2012. But the reasons are: a) We launched twelve works of exceptional quality. We have never received so much resonance - blogs, Brazilians and gringos sites, newspapers, social networks, all disks have affected in some way. And the most fun this December is to follow the Best of the Year lists - many of them highlighting works released by the label b) produce four editions of Sinewave Festival in cities such as Curitiba, Porto Alegre and Rio de Janeiro, with bands of the casting and invited . All editions promised making the noise, and c) Everything that was derived from these two items above.
All this in music betting "wrong." Ships paraphrase Jair, who on the last day 15/dez gave a speech in honor of Herod, a band that opened his show: "They are guys who believe in what they do, even doing a job with no commercial appeal." Extend it to all the bands that started their work with us this year, all of which are part of our history, and all orbiting around the seal and not part - or at least not yet.
So this Sinewave Essentials - The Best of 2011 . A like the most, either through a click or feel that increasingly rare "but how come I never heard that before?", and every effort will be worth it. Work here because each has something besides the default - is punch, is a different idea, or more elaborate, genius is something unreasonable, something that is confusing to follow the aesthetic of "because".
HUEY , LAVALSA , DISASTER THE TAPE , THIS LONELY CROWD , ALMA MATER , THE MACHINE ON , Solemn UPPSALA , NOISE / MM , TEAM.RADIO , SUM , KALOUV . Eleven bands from all parts of Brazil, ranging from metal to post-rock experimental indie loud the spleen with violins, the shoegaze pop appeal with the post-industrial.
All this is to pave the next year - more albums, more gigs, more festivals, more noise than in 2011. Because 2012 will be the best year of Sinewave. Fired.

^ I freaking LOVE this band. And of course, I've got several of their songs in full rotation on my station. A bunch of other Russian bands too but my brain is just too mushed up right now to think. Will find something later to share.

Jagy sure does loves her some shoegaze  ;D

Nice! Joey and Tom aka Super Toys posted about it on facebook, and it was one link I am glad I clicked.  Are you going to attend the Dead Leaf Echo/the Water or either Alcest gig?

Tommy is one of the better supporters of the whole scene so not surprising at all. Super Toys are pretty good. In fact, to date, I really love everything that Joey has been involved in, still with my favorite being SPC ECO. Of course, that's a combination of pure perfection all around.

Can't make it up for Dead Leaf Echo & The Water. Also, I highly doubt that I can make it up for Alcest either though that one's still a slight possibility.

However, I will be up for Spiritualized. That's going to be one serious PITA fighting 3 cities worth of rush hour traffic to get there by 7:00. Really, really wish that were a late show. The things I do for that band! If I could afford a hotel, I'd just go straight to DC instead but no way can I afford DC prices.

Here's something for you, mostly along the Electronica/Shoegaze paths. Not sure what the correct primary genre would be and I don't really care. Some is more one while others more the other. Hutch alert: They are Brazilian!

Starfire Connective Sound



The Sound Also Rises (EP)
(Pretty meaty for an EP.)
