Glitterhouse

Glitterhouse is a music label owned by Reinhard Holstein. Founded in 1981 by Holstein and Rembert Stiewe, the label started as a fanzine called "The Glitterhouse" that focused on 60's garage and psychedelia, punk extensions, weirdo folk, and similar genres. Over the years, Glitterhouse has released music from German artists such as *Surfin' Dead*, *The Strangemen*, and *Shiny Gnomes*. In 1987, Glitterhouse began a cooperation with Seattle-based record label Sub Pop, which led to increased popularity and market position for both labels. This partnership allowed Glitterhouse to distribute records from bands like Nirvana and Soundgarden in Europe.

In addition to working with Sub Pop, Glitterhouse also distributed products from Amphetamine Reptile Records in Europe. However, this collaboration ended when Glitterhouse no longer identified with the musical content of the American noise label. Despite this setback, Glitterhouse continued to publish its own signings including *Monster Magnet*, *Sylvia Juncosa*, *Sister Double Happiness*, and *Bitch Magnet*.

Since 1994, Glitterhouse has expanded its roster to include alternative rock bands from Scandinavia and England. The label now covers a wide range of musical styles including widescreen-pop, indie-electronica, avant-garde, dark indie folk, rock,

While Chantal's three previous solo albums were immaculately produced by two luminaries of the so-called "post-classical" scene (Nils Frahm, Peter Broderick and Phill Brown respectively), Saturday Moon is a more feral child and is all the stronger for it. The album spins and turns and upends preconceptions throughout its length. There are sonic surprises like Alan from Low's guitar synth on "Disappear," a song that ends in a tornado of electricity and also features backing vocals from Low bandmate Mimi. Atmospheric guitar legend Bill Frisell delicately converses with two tracks. Shahzad Ismaily of Tom Waits and Marc Ribot fame plays haunted six string fractures on one of the album's darkest songs "Conflict of Minds", together with Borgar Magnason (Sigur Rós, Björk). There are eighteen musicians in total on the album. Strings, horns, contrabass and piano are also woven into the kaleidoscopic, eclectic mesh. It is a human-all-too-human balance of things. Clarity and randomness. Anger and elation. Loss and awakening. The personal and the communal.
