Gun Outfit Enters Paradise.

We’re thrilled to welcome Gun Outfit to our Paradise of Bachelors family. Last year, we were fortunate to see the band play with Lavender Country in Los Angeles; our ears were treated to a set of burned, dual-guitar elegance beautifully evolved from the great Possession Sound and Hard Coming Down LPs. We’re so honored to be in cahoots. There’s a new album and it’s a stunner; we’ll share more info on that very soon. In the meantime, Gun Outfit heads to Brooklyn to play the Northside Festival this week.

Introducing Nap Eyes + Their Excellent Debut Album Whine of the Mystic.

Hailing from Nova Scotia, Nap Eyes is the greatest band you’ve never heard, and Whine of the Mystic is their first full-length album, a brilliant small-batch brew of crooked, literate guitar pop refracted through the gray Halifax rain. Pre-orders now, and get an immediate download of the song “Dark Creedence,” as premiered today by Stereogum.

The Weather Station + Kenny Knight Albums Premiere via The NY Times + Stereogum.

Stream The Weather Station’s gorgeous album Loyalty via The NY Times and hear our reissue of Kenny Knight’s 1980 country-rock masterpiece Crossroads via Stereogum, a week before their May 12 release. Both records are available for purchase if you like what you hear. (You will like what you hear.) Pitchfork reviewed Loyalty, calling it “a 40-minute glimpse into a secret world.”

The Fader Premieres The Weather Station’s “Shy Women.”

Many thanks to The Fader for premiering “Shy Women,” another stunning song from Loyalty, the forthcoming album by The Weather Station, which The Fader calls “the best folk album of the year.” Stream and pre-order herein. Also, TWS has just announced that they’ll be playing this year’s Pickathon Festival.

Stereogum Premieres Kenny Knight’s “Whiskey.”

Many thanks to Stereogum for premiering “Whiskey” from our upcoming reissue of Kenny Knight’s Crossroads, one of our very favorite songs on an album of indelible songs. This jittery head-nodder touches on some heavy darkness: an alcoholic’s lament about childhood drinking, drunk driving, a constant fear of death, and almost shitting your pants (seriously, it’s dark.)

Springtime in Paradise: New T-Shirts + New Distribution.

Due to popular demand, our PoB High Roller t-shirts are back in stock and ready to ship. We’re also thrilled to announce that, effective March 31, Paradise of Bachelors will be distributed exclusively worldwide by the fine folks at Secretly Canadian Distribution. Pre-orders are still rolling for our two May 12 releases–our first in collaboration with SCD–The Weather Station’s Loyalty and Kenny Knight’s Crossroads.

Steve Gunn “Wildwood” Video Premiere.

Paste has premiered a video for Steve Gunn’s gorgeous “Wildwood,” from Way Out Weather. Appropriately for a song inspired by the eponymous New Jersey beach town, director Dan Murphy shot the video in Wildwood in the dead of winter, when the boardwalk was deserted and gray ice floes littered the empty beach. Full Gunn tour dates, plus a special announcement follow herein.
