Splendour is a label based in Oslo. One of the many neat things they do is release split 7 inch records from cool bands. To wit, the released a split record for Of Montreal and Casiokids for Record Store Day earlier this year.
Now they have a new split 7 inch with two tracks each from His Clancyness (aka Jonathan Clancy) and Shimmering Stars coming out October 31 ( via Insound in the USA and Rough Trade in UK). Both are Canadians, the former from Ottawa and the latter from Vancouver. His Clancyness plays a sort of dream pop and has, as yet, mainly releases 7 inch records and small limited releases of his music.
Shimmering Stars say their influences come from 50s artists like Everly Brothers, Del Shannon and producer Phil Spector (they are Canadian so are probably less well armed than Spector). Their debut lp came out on Hardly Art in the USA and Almost Musique in Europe in September (not sure if this means NOW or last year).
Splendour is a new label, founded this year and handling work by artists such as Casiokids, Of Montreal, Siinai, Brad Laner and more.
