Young Henry is a one-man project consisting of individual Kyle Y. hailing from Minneapolis, Minnesota, who's unique approach to ambiance can only be labeled as 'seagaze,' as he describes it himself. His latest effort, 'It Must Have Been The Weather,' is a big step from his debut album, a brilliant collection of off-kilter, lo-fi, post-punk jams leaning on the spectrum of both pop and noise. 'Weather' resonates strangely at times with it's jarring avant-garde guitar work which creates something that is as much dissonant and discomforting as it is relaxing and gorgeously stunning. If Hisato Higuchi and Derek Bailey were to make passionate love to the ambiance of Fennez while on a snowy mountaintop, the resulting climax would be something similar to the music of Young Henry. Anything else I can say about this album will only demean it's brilliance. Space out into some distant land and enjoy.

nono. is an acoustic project I started roughly a year ago with slight elements of ambient, dreampop, and shoegaze. If you like a lot of layered guitar harmonies and droney pop vocals then this may be your thing, although the outcome usually strays more towards the depressive as opposed to the usual cheerfulness of similar music. This is my 2nd album entitled No Crying (a slight reference to Mother 1 and just something fitting overall, I believe) that I finished a week or two ago. If someone out there is willing to make a legitimate release of it and can get some proper distribution on it, then that would be very much appreciated. But until then (or if ever), I just want people to hear this, it's a culmination of a lot of things and perhaps I hope you can sense that as well. Send it to your friends, play it on trips to the beach, listen to it after you broke up with your girlfriend or boyfriend. Whatever. Sorry for the self-promotion!
