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,

Debut album by 16 Horsepower founding member Jean Yves Tola solo-project, featuring Chantal Acda as main vocalist. „Feathers“ is the first official album from Jean Yves Tola since 16 Horsepower separated in 2005. ALÓWAN is the side of 16 Horsepower that has not been heard before. As a founding member of the alternative country band from Denver, Colorado, Tolas arrangements, music and influence in the band was always clearly present through their career. This is a more personal and intimate vision. In collaborations with a few friends and musicians “Feathers” is a body of work to be reckoned with. Tola presents 10 beautiful and dark folk songs. Chantal Acda, the main vocalist, will carry you to the clouds with her light but deep tones and poetic lyrics. ALÓWAN takes her to new territories and her talent shows. The Texan Calvin Dover (Dover Brothers) accompanies her on a couple of tracks making the duet irresistible. A few others join Tola in this project, such as Steve Taylor (former 16 Horsepower guitar player) and Theo Hakola of the famed Orchestre Rouge and Passion Fodder. With „Feathers“, Tola shows his versatility as a composer, a producer but also as a musician.
