Rex Indignus - השורשים Roots

A new release is available now!




השורשים (Roots) is the second release by Rex Indignus on Moustached Cowboy Records. 6 Pieces in an atmospheric ambient drone style, built up with layers of field recordings and instrumental samples.

The album is a tribute to Rex Indignus' personal heritage, his recently discovered Jewish roots. In a time in which individual interests are forgotten more an more, people crave for an identity. Music can be an influence in this, as any form of art can. And music cannot exist without a cultural underground or identity. This is the circle of life. Jump on this merry-go-round that Rex Indignus has created and listen to his interpretation of his roots.

D.B.Lolaq - Elementals

Elementals by D.B.Lolaq is Moustached Cowboy Records' 3rd release. Stylistically a change for the company: Elementals is a work in an ambient folk, or drone folk style, drastically different from the 1st and 2nd releases.

For this EP, D.B.Lolaq drew inspiration from the writings of 16th century alchemist Paracelsus. In these writings, Paracelsus speaks of spirits that correspond with the 4 elements. The element water has a spirit called Nymph, the element fire a spirit called Salamander, the element air corresponds with the spirit Sylvester and the element earth has a spirit called Pygmaeus. Elementals consists of 4 tracks, recorded with a minimum of digital means, with droning melodic lines, played on instrumental oddities like a fretless mandolin, a mouthbow and a fishbowl, accompanied by field recordings, fireplace recording in track 3 by Ludovic Kierasinski. Many of the recordings of the instruments were made outdoors at various places to capture the spirit of the elements.
