The long awaited new Other Desert Cities album “on the verge of collapsing” is finally ready to be let out of the bag. It will be available Aug. 1st. 1 track from the album is up at www.myspace.com/velvetbluemusic .
We are also happy to say we’ll be releasing 2 new 7″s from indie darlings The Broadway Hush in August. The band crafts sugary, sweet pop songs like no others. 7″s will be titled “Sun Songs” and “Moon Songs”, artwork will be done by Richard Swift.
Kissing Cousins have been busy lately, shooting a new video, recording EP3, and getting ready to play 2 sets in the disgustingly hot, corn field known as the Cornerstone Festival in Bushnell, IL.
MAP has been getting all kinds of extra attention lately which is well deserved. The band will be out for a week on the east coast with label mate Gary Murray at the end of July so be sure to check them out. NPR will feature the track “Breakfast at Ikea” on the All Songs Considered show, and the track “Rachel Dreams” is being used in the promo trailer for Standing Still, the new Mena Suvari movie. The new MAP ep “San Francisco in the ’90s” is available at www.Towerrecords.com for just $7.49, so get it ! “In a perfect world these young men would already be celebrities” - Babysue
Gary Murray - I think everyone knows the band LN is over, but frontman Gary Murray is not. He’s been busy recording his first solo effort which we hope to have out in Sept./ Oct.
Itunes ? Yep, Pony Express, Map, LN, Kissing Cousins, Calico Sunset all up there now ! Also get songs for $.089 from LN, Map, Kissing Cousins, Calico Sunset, Pony Express, etc at www.buymusic.com or www.mp3-extension.com
RICHARD SWIFT - The Novelist / Walking Without Effort 2 x 12″ w/ bonus cd. - Don’t think anything needs to be said of Swift. This is an amazing release. It’s a co-release with our pals at Secretly Canadian.
KISSING COUSINS - ep2 - Dark, sultry, and lovable. Think Cat Power or PJ Harvey using a slowed down Sonic Youth as the backing band, while playing at a Black Sabbath convention.
MAP - San Francisco in the 90’s - Believe the buzz. New 6 song ep produced by J. Martin. These songs showcase Dooley’s signature, weeping guitar licks, awkward, lonely lyrics, and sing along choruses. The bands finest work to date. Map, map, map.
CALICO SUNSET - Blue Balloon - Electronic based songs with plenty of organic sounds. New ep shows the band being less obsessed with death and being locked in trunks and more obsessed with 60’s pop records and 80’s movies. Jenny’s vocals are so sweet you’ll fall in love with her. + Josh Dooley (map, sf59) plays beautiful guitar lines in these tracks.
RICHARD SWIFT - Foxy Boxing 7″ - 4 Tracks on baby blue vinyl, going fast.
