It is our distinct pleasure to present: Miss Sharon Jones! OST. The film, directed by two-time Academy Award winner, Barbara Kopple, follows the dynamic front-woman through her 2013 battle with cancer and her triumphant return to the stage around the release of Give The People What They Want.
All versions of the soundtrack, featuring the exclusive “I’m Still Here”, boasts a nice selection of tracks ranging from her early singles on Daptone, to tracks from the band’s 2014 release – Give the People What They Want.
The Double LP Gatefold album features extra tracks + the EXCLUSIVE performance of “His Eye On The Sparrow” as heard in the film sung by Sharon Jones in her local church in Augusta, GA.
The Whale in the Thames is a Band built of Rock, Wood, Liquid and Love. Formed in 2011 when 6 friends got together for a Private Underground reunion Jam, Songs Sung in French, English and Gibberish flowed from their own roots of respect and reality.
Charismo is the Hackensaw Boys record you’ve been waiting to hear. The 11-track album feels like the zenith release of the band’s 17 years, gathering their diverse life experiences and myriad of roots influences, and crystallizing them into a magnum opus on the Hackensaw way of being. Traditional Appalachian and Delta music lay the groundwork, but it’s injected with a heavy dose of the contemporary, good-times-roll kind of spit and vinegar the band has become known for over the years.
Produced by Larry Campbell – who has lent his talents to Bob Dylan, Levon Helm, and countless others – Charismosees the band reeled in and slightly refined, though still as spirited as ever. The songs (all written by longtime Hackensaws David Sickmen and Ferd Moyse) are tinged with an attitude of scrappy resilience, spinning tales and metaphors of everyday, working class struggles and triumphs. With Campbell’s production, the Hackensaw’s somewhat casual, porch-front aesthetic is sharpened around the edges, focusing in on the simple beauty of their melodies and the earnestness in their delivery.
Calliope Musicals is a cheerful psychedelic party folk band from Austin TX. Their high-energy live performance focuses on involving the crowd. A psychedelic squad of musicians fill in their folksy roots with a mix of vibraphone, tribal drums, bass, lead guitar and explosive vocals. The band exudes feel-good vibes that aim to swallow listeners and spit them out as happier versions of their former selves.
The new album – Time Owes You Nothing – is available now!
The Quaker City Night Hawks – Sam Anderson and David Matsler on vocals and guitars, Pat Adams on bass, Aaron Haynes on drums — are a Southern band, to be sure. But it’s not the South we’ve come to expect from Rock and Roll. Equally influenced by ZZ Top and science fiction, the Dallas Observer’s Best Band of 2015 writes of landscapes both familiar and foreign, and they are set to deliver their 9-track El Astronauta debut on Lightning Rod Records. Eras collide in every aspect of the album, from the title—which merges Texas’ Spanish and Mexican roots with its role at the center of the modern space race—to its pop art cover, which depicts a classic ‘70s hot rod that’s been modified into a spacecraft hovering over an exotic desert landscape.
Available on vinyl from Rocket Heart Records. The Marvelous Cheer EP differs from it’s original CD counterpart. This limited edition 12″ pressing has been remastered for vinyl and includes updated album art, insert art drawn by HARPS’ own Kaitlin Uemura, etching on Side B, and a HQ digital download of the entire EP.
Robbie Fulks‘s storytelling through folk and bluegrass music on Upland Stories delivers the quieter, sometimes unsettling truths of humanity.
Coming of age in the 1960s and 1970s in Virginia and North Carolina, at the edge of the broad “upland” region referenced in the record’s title, provided depth and detail for Fulks’s songs about the mysteries of memory, the vanishing of cherished things, and the struggles of everyday life. Robbie tries to make songs that offer more than verse-chorus-hook: songs that have space, calmness, unresolved tensions, and the hallmarks of lived experience. This sort of complexity is displayed in “Fare Thee Well, Carolina Gals,” an intimate folk song from the perspective of a man who has let life’s possibilities pass him by, and in “Never Come Home,” in which a sick man returns to spend his last days among an unwelcoming clan of pious, hard-bitten East Tennesseans.
Available from Bloodshot Records April 1 (pre-order is up now).
Available for pre-order now (released 04/05/2016): DJ Vague – Restoring Nature. Drones created by Government Engineers, financed by the elite, built to keep the people in line ultimately rebel against their makers. A battle raged for decades until the drones decided to strike a deal with their once great overlords. The deal would allow the drones to continue to help with the enslavement of the lower rankings of mankind. In return, once the last of the elite left the planet to their new home, the Drones would begin to terraform the planet back to its original form of chaotic nature, ridding the planet of humans, technology and AI of any kind. Thus, Restoring Nature. There is another deal happening… one kept hidden and in silence that will forever change the history of the ANARCHOSTAR.
