Carroll — As Far As Gardens Go

Moving water, a little open floor space, a reel to reel tape deck, and the old tour van packed with gear was all Carroll needed to lay down their second LP As Far As Gardens Go.

Chronicling the move from Minneapolis to Philadelphia the new songs were woven together everywhere but home. The album grew from the meals the band cooked together in other people’s kitchens, and the nights slept on hospitable floors in sleeping bags unrolled between the microphones after the console was shut down for the night.

Written and produced by the band, and mixed by Jon Low (The National, The War On Drugs, Sharon Van Etten) the sophomore full-length is out now via Shattered Orb and perfectly encapsulates the story of a band being hurtled through their lives, leaving things behind and charting a course forward.

Edgar Allen Poe — The Raven

Cadabra Records

The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe is undoubtedly one of the most popular pieces of literature in the history of the horror genre, and here the poem gets the deluxe treatment with a meticulously professional delivery in every aspect. On this limited edition 7inch from Cadabra Records, the poem is here read by Anthony D.P. Mann, a Canadian-based filmmaker and actor with five feature films and a lifetime of stage and radio to his credit. In roles ranging from Count Dracula and the Phantom of the Opera, to Ebenezer Scrooge, his love of the classics is evident in his work. He is delighted to be lending his voice to a series of releases with Cadabra Records, indulging in his first passion – the theater of the imagination. The reading is backed by a score created by Italian composer and multi-instrumentalist Maurizio Guarini, most notably known as a core member of Goblin, who has released dozens of albums since the 1970s including soundtracks for cult classics like Suspiria, the European release of Dawn Of The Dead, and much more. Guarini adds a strikingly beautiful yet haunting score that accents the intense reading.

Happy Halloween!!!

Todd Rundgren & Utopia – Live at the Old Waldorf

Wrong Planet.  Also includes Utopia backing Rundgren on songs, Like “Black and White” and “The Last Ride,” from which they were absent on Back to the Bars.  Pre-order this limited edition color vinyl set from Real Gone Music now!

 

Moon Temple — I & II

 

Moon Temple is Gabriel Andruzzi. You may know him as the bass player/sax guy/engineer of a well known defunct, NYC band.  This well-polished piece contains 9 tracks of delicate interludes, acid stompers, and weirdo spastic mechanical marches. There is no way to know if this release will end up in a big room, a sweaty basement, or a museum. Not only does it sound good, but there is a visual aspect too. Both I and II 12”s (pressed on 45) are packaged in beautiful silver foil op art by Moscow’s Art Crime.

 

Blake Rainey and his Demons — Helicopter Rose

Blake Rainey has been recognized by The Atlanta Journal Constitution, music magazines Flagpole and Stomp & Stammer, and Creative Loafing as one of Georgia’s finest songwriters.

The latest album by Blake Rainey and his Demons — Helicopter Rose —  is available for pre-order now through his Southern Lovers Recording Co. imprint.

 

King of the Tramps — Cumplir con el Diablo

Cumplir con el Diablo cover art

King Of The Tramps is an original roots-rock group, based in Auburn, IA, whose sound calls upon influences from modern roots rock, rhythm and blues, rock and southern, country rock. Their sound has been described as “Whiskey Gospel”.  The band has released three albums of original music, Good People in 2011, Wicked Mountain in 2013, and Joyful Noise in 2014.

The King Of The Tramps live show is a foot stompin’, hand clappin’ rock and roll gospel party, with plenty of crowd participation.  The band is comprised of Todd Partridge on Guitar and vocals, Justin Snyder on Guitar and Mandolin, Adam Audlehelm on Keys, Ryan Aum on Drums and Ryan McAlister on Bass.

With Cumplir con el Diablo, the 4th album from the group, the tramps show that their “Whiskey Gospel” sound has more energy than ever, and their stories ring as true and hard as life on the road. The record features 9 songs and one bonus track.  Cumplir con el Diablo is about the general themes of being mired in the overwhelming personal quagmires and external hypocrisies’ that pull us all down on a daily basis. Translated, the album title means “Meet the Devil”, it is intended in the universal sense, as in “The devil is in the details”, or “Having a devil of a time”.
