Customer Highlight — Centro-Matic

Thanks to the Undertow Music Collective for hitting us up for the new Centro-Matic record, Candidate Waltz.

This is Centro-matic’s 10th full length offering; and it is mixed, mastered, and scheduled for release on June 21.  Scott Solter helped out with these recordings, and Christian Helms and Erick Montes (Helms Workshop) provided the art direction and layout.  All LPs come with a download card inserted inside the package with a code to download 320k MP3s.  The LP was mastered direct from hi-res 24/96 files by Jeff Powell at Ardent Studios in Memphis using the same cutting lathe used for many of the classic Stax Records releases on the 60’s and 70’s!  Available at indie stores everywhere on June 21!

Customer Highlight — Lüüp

Foregoing traditional genre boundaries, defying categorization, and embracing the distinct talents of its 19 participants, Luup involves a reexamination of convention by a thorough exploration of the instrument. Led by flautist Stelios Romaliadis, whose direction of the musicians allows for shimmering folk tendencies to mingle with fragile string arrangements and uplifting voice, Luup combines disparate elements of modern musical tendencies to examine man’s primitive nature. Meadow Rituals presents 8 paeans to unite man’s overwhelming distance from nature and self and a celebration of the reunion. Lilting melodies mix with ambient and new age directions; propulsive swells of strings and effervescent electronics make way for profound vocal harmonies to create a universal and timeless experience.

Available now from Experimedia.

Customer Highlight — Twerps

After releases with both Night People and Chapter Music, Australia’s Twerps bring their dark dream-pop to Brooklyn label Group Tightener. This three song 7-inch works as a companion piece (same art split into two) to their recently released 7-inch on Under Water Peoples.

“She Didn’t Know,” begins with a roar of vocals and steadily swings through delicate guitar riffs, rollicking organ jams, and playful puppy dog yelps. The first few moments of the second track, “Anything New,” are a gentle lullaby until the vocals crash in with classic the suburban conundrum of being bored but dreading change. It’s full of delightful wallowing in the desire of an impossible paradox: “I’m gonna be more than a backyard boy” but I also don’t want anything new to happen in my life. The B-side wraps up the record with a devastatingly saccharine winding ballad called “Peculia.”  Limited to 500 copies.  Get it from Group Tightener.

Customer Highlight — All Dinosaurs

We had the pleasure of having Joe Willis and Dave Gibian of All Dinosaurs as our guests yesterday.  They came by to pick up their hot-off-the-press copies of their latest album, Paranoid Indiginous.

If you are in Cleveland on Feb 26, be sure to hit the LP release party at Beachland Ballroom (just announced)  w/ HotChaCha / Trigger Effect (montreal) / the Strutting Cocks.

Customer Highlight — Ultimate Fakebook

Customer Highlight– Stark Folk Band / Old 3C Records

Background Info:
Brady Burkett and Ryan Shaffer continue their 10-plus years home-recording collaboration with collections of Americana rock tunes under the name Stark Folk Band. In 2003, they self-released a two-disc set of their early material called A Landscape Yesterday: For Seasons. Their latest efforts go in more roots-inspired directions, alternating between acoustic balladry and country-fried rock tunes.

You can pick up a copy of their latest LP (proudly pressed by Gotta Groove) by visiting either the band’s myspace or the Old 3C Records website.
