New Jumpel Music Video Released
Hidden Shoal Recordings today announced the release of the delicious new music video for the track ‘Simpler‘ from the album Samuel Jason Lies on the Beach by Jumpel.
“Jumpel brings a wealth of musical and life experience to this meticulously crafted debut album…Dürbeck’s electro-acoustic meditations manage to be both minimalistic yet symphonic too… Over the course of the album, Dürbeck reveals himself to be something of an obsessive miniaturist, as he packs the maximum amount of detail into each setting, regardless of length. Even so, Samuel Jason Lies On The Beach feels intimate despite its broad spectrum of instrumental colour and occasional cinematic ambiance.” Textura Magazine Review Excerpt.
The video is available for viewing on all major video network sites such as Myspace, YouTube, Imeem and Daily Motion as well as being featured on HSR TV. The video has also been made available for purchase in high quality Ipod ready Mpeg-4 format from the HSR Store.
For more information including a full preview of the video and album, head over to the HSR label site – http://music.hiddenshoal.com.
