We have not 1, but 2 new bands that we’ll be adding to the family. We’ll be announcing one of them on Tues. !
2. new releases ……..…
all available at www.velvetbluemusic.com or Itunes.
BIRDS & BATTERIES ‘panorama’ cd / lp – B&B is hard to describe, folk-ish, but then there’s a lot of electronics, and guitar licks. “Twangy guitars strums and subtle synth sounds — a perfect fit for a band that constantly pairs the lovably old with the strikingly new.” – San Francisco Weekly
THE PRIDS ‘chronosynclastic’ cd / lp – Anyone not love this band ? The 12″ is on red vinyl w/ download card. And you know Doug from Built to Spill does some guitars and vocals on it right ? This is fuzzed out pop, maybe a bit on the dark side. Go here to get more info on them.
DOUG BURR ‘o ye devastator’ cd / lp – Ok, how many more great records can we put out ? Mr. Burr plays straight from the heart songs. “Burr shares an intrinsic knowledge of song dynamics with the likes of Jeff Tweedy, and has a voice that tugs at the heart strings. Brilliant! ” – Americana UK “Exquisitely detailed, slow and deliberate” – Paste
THE LANGLEY SISTERS ‘queen bee’ 7″ – Limited ed., on white vinyl, w/ download card. 3 lovely ladies from London who craft music that could be from 1940, really nothing short of amazing. Did we mention it was produced by Ed Harcourt ?
3. new in distro ………..…
all available at www.velvetbluemusic.com
BOSQUE BROWN ‘baby’ cd / lp. – The lp comes w/ a bonus 7″ inside too ! Coming from Texas they have that desolate kind of sound, minimal and with beautiful vocals from Mrs. Maura.
ME WITHOUT YOU ‘it’s all crazy’ lp. – This thing is way nice ! Double lp in gatefold. You already know the band right ?
