Customer Highlight — Jukebox The Ghost

Jukebox the Ghost have passionate fans. Fans who’ve gone so far as to tattoo the band’s name on their body or drive for days to see their shows, or post lovesick monologues dedicated to their glory on YouTube. Through a dogged work ethic and near-obsessive touring — headlining and alongside heavyweights like Ben Folds and Adam Green (The Moldy Peaches) — the band managed to sell over 10,000 copies of their debut album and cultivated the aforementioned rabid fan base. Now, with a fully developed sound and a songwriting and live performance approach seasoned by hundreds upon hundreds of gigs, the band are set to turn heads with sophomore effort Everything Under the Sun, produced by Peter Katis (Interpol, The National).

Proudly pressed here at GGR on 180 gram wax…..will be available nationally at independent record stores on 09/21/2010!

Customer Highlight — Dave Alvin & The Guilty Women

Proudly pressed by GGR on double 180 gram wax!  Available at indie retailers nationally on 09/21/2010!

Following the recent death of his best friend and Guilty Men accordionist Chris Gaffney in early 2008, Dave Alvin decided to move in an exciting new musical direction. In October 2008 he stepped onto the stage of the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival with an all-star, all-female group. Since dubbed The Guilty Women, the group consists of Americana scene vets Cindy Cashdollar, Nina Gerber, Laurie Lewis, Sarah Brown, Amy Farris, Christy McWilson and Lisa Pankratz. Special guests include Marcia Ball and Susie Thompson. The self-titled debut from this unique assemblage of players, led by Alvin, is a spirited collection of thoughtful yet dynamic tunes featuring world-class musicianship worthy of his now legendary pedigree.

Customer Highlight — Paper & Plastick Records/Stephen Egerton

Check out one of the latest vinyl releases from the prolific Paper & Plastick Records — The Seven Degrees of Stephen Egerton.  Egerton is best known for his work with The Descendents and All, but since both bands announced hiatuses, he has still been hard at work and is very much involved in the punk community.  This record is available in limited runs of 3 different colors — you can grab them at select indie record stores, and from Paper & Plastick direct.

Customer Highlight — Matt Nowlin Orchestra

This is the first JAZZ album pressed here at GGR, and it’s a pretty great musician to start the genre here.  According to the Matt Nowlin Orchestra website, “The Good News!, the Matt Nowlin Jazz Orchestra’s debut LP, calls to mind Jimmie Lunceford and the arrangements of Sy Oliver, while bringing to the forefront a new voice in jazz writing. In the hands of composer Matt Nowlin, swing is a vibrant feeling rather than a bygone era.”

The record is streeting on October 26 nationally — both online and at independent record stores everywhere!

Customer Highlight — The Kinsey Report

When Kelly Wicks, owner of the Grounds For Thought cafe in Bowling Green, Ohio approached us about pressing this limited edition vinyl-only record by The Kinsey Report, it was one of those daily moments that remind us how amazing a job we all have here.  This record was recorded live at Grounds For Thought and mastered by Thomas Bethel of Acoustik Musik/Room With A View Productions.

You can catch The Kinsey Report (along with a list of several other amazing acts) this weekend at the annual Black Swamp Festival in Bowling Green, Ohio.  Several of us will be trekking over to Northwest Ohio to catch the shows…if you can make it, let’s grab a beer!

Customer Highlight — Castevet / Into It. Over It. Split 7″

This four song 7 inch is part of the “Twelve Towns” series by Into It. Over It. (the fourth in the series proudly pressed here at GGR) and features two tracks by Chicago’s Castevet.  This record is being distributed by our friends at  Topshelf Records, and  is limited to a pressing of 500 7 inches.  There are four different versions: Gray (Out of 75) – Record Release Brown (Out of 100) – Tour Version Cream (Out of 150) Black (Out of 175).

Customer Highlight — Black Kites

Tucson’s Protagonist Music enlisted GGR to press the new Black Kites LP, Songs Written While Things Were Changing. The album went on sale in early August, and you can grab a copy from Protagonist Records here.

This is the band’s second full-length LP, and in Protagonist’s words, it is an “emotionally devastating assault both lyrically and aurally, you’ll need several listens just to take it all in!”  The record is available on multi-colored vinyl or tradtional black, and all come with a digital download card too.

Customer Highlight — Grand Lake

Being released by Hippies Are Dead Records, Grand Lake‘s Blood Sea Dream is a listening experience not to miss.

According to the band’s bio, Grand Lake makes music about something  gigantic, something awe-inspiring, something sublime.  They sink their anchor and it can’t touch the bottom; they look back and can’t see the shore.  The music starts the voyage and they depart from the certainty they’ve once known.  The mast unfurls and they set sail on the gigantic body of aqueous self, leaving behind concrete docks, concrete buildings, and concrete ideas.

Customer Highlight — Magnolia Mountain

We just finished pressing the ultra-deluxe 150 gram gatefold double LP for Magnolia Mountain — the band spared no frills on this beautiful package (if we don’t say so ourselves).  Check it out here:

(Available for $25 at the band's website)

Customer Highlight — Big Kids

The respected Topshelf Records and Protagonist Music teamed up to put the debut LP from Oakland’s own Big Kids.  A special package including a t-shirt is available from Topshelf.  Special multi-colored wax is available from Protagonist Music.

According to Protagonist, “This record is be 9 tracks that capture the bliss of playing music with your good friends, touring in a shitty van, playing killer house shows, and seeing life through the prism of punk rock. Melodies and dirt, sing-alongs and feedback, relationships and ideas…all are represented here”.
