Our friends (and distributors) at the Secretly Group are assembling a durational 100-track compilation to benefit a variety of worthy organizations involved in the resistance against the current oppressive political regime in the U.S. Today, for Day 57, Itasca has premiered the sublime “Grassland.”
Itasca has landed overseas and begun their UK/EU tour as a duo featuring Dave McPeters on pedal steel guitar. Mark your calendars and prepare to be mesmerized.
UK magazines The Wire, Uncut, MOJO, and Record Collector have joined the chorus of critical acclaim for the artistry of Mind Over Mirrors and forthcoming release Undying Color, on which Jaime Fennelly and his cohort (including members of Circuit des Yeux, Eleventh Dream Day, Califone, and Volcano Choir) further explore the horizons of their sprawling and shimmering soundscapes.
We’d like to extend our thanks to Garth Cartwright for penning a lovely profile in The Guardian on “Cult Hero” Terry Allen – detailing his relationship with the late Guy Clark, his art, and our recent reissue of his album Juarez.
We are excited to announce that Hiss Golden Messenger’s “Poor Moon,” the band’s first masterpiece and our second ever release, is once again available in a limited 4th edition of 500 copies. This newest edition comes with all the fixins: tip-on jackets, edition number, and a new label color.
As we bask in the new Spring and look ahead to the oncoming Summer, we’d like call your attention to the many chances you’ll have to see some of our artist’s road-dogging it through a town near you. We’d also like to take a moment to extend our warmest thanks to The American Association of Independent Music (A2IM) for nominating us as 2016 Label of the Year. We’re blushing.
We are thrilled to welcome Mind Over Mirrors, the singularly arresting musical project of Jaime Fennelly, to the PoB roster. We’ve long admired Jaime’s evolving music—we penned various notes and texts for his last two releases—and we were particularly impressed with how 2015’s masterful The Voice Calling, acclaimed by NPR as “an out-of-body experience,” elevated his practice to a new plane. Read on for tour dates with Tortoise.
Paradise Press Round-Up for Promised Land Sound and Chance and updates for upcoming tour dates. Stay tuned on 8/21 for our revelation of the PoB/WXYC Hopscotch Day Party lineup on Saturday, 9/7 in Raleigh.
