I Mean To Live Here Still
Fat Cat Records
Genre: Rock : Indie

Territories: World ex- AU, NZ
Release Date: 06.22.10
I Mean To Live Here Still is the third Fat Cat album to bear the name of San Francisco-based artist David Karsten Daniels, although it is an entirely different prospect to his previous releases in many ways. A collaboration with Richmond, Virginia-based 9-piece avant-jazz collective Fight the Big Bull, I Mean To Live Here Still is the product of two decidedly individual, but musically (and geographically) distant sets of musicians.

Mind Altar EP
Ghostly International
Genre: Electronic : Rock
UPC: 804297811406
Territories: Americas
Release Date: 06.22.10
Deastro’s Mind Altar EP isn’t “the new face of Deastro”, it’s merely one iteration of a constantly evolving entity. The Deastro on Mind Altar shouts up from a deep well of echo, achieving a level of sonic mystery and menace that’s quite new for the mercurial artist. The sky-scraping anthems are still there, although they’re now shrouded in clouds.

Dansette Dansette
Slumberland Records
Genre: Indie : BritPop
UPC: 749846011985
Territories: Americas
Release Date: 06.22.10
Tender Trap are back and man did we miss them. With two extra girl voices (from new members guitarist Elizabeth and drummer Katrina) this great album combines the harmonies, oohs, ahs and sha-la-las of classic girl-pop with the stripped down beats and dirty guitars of the Shop Assistants and The Vaselines.

Territories: Americas
Release Date: 06.28.10
Summer 2010 sees Kula Shaker release their fourth studio album Pilgrim’s Progress. The album takes in all the influences you could hope for from the band that made the one of the fastest selling debut albums ever and, as draws on unusual and unpredictable influences, from fairy tale, Shakespearian tragedy, Morricone, and full tilt old school psychedelia.
