Current Priorities: February 23rd- March 2nd
 |
Balmorhea “Constellations” Western Vinyl Genre: Indie : Classical UPC: 656605460727 Territory: World Release Date: 02.23.10 |
The disarming simplicity of the tracks on Constellations proves that Balmorhea doesn’t need dense arrangements full of 180 degree turns to craft deeply affecting compositions. More than just self-imposed limitation, the scale of this collection of songs introduces a sense of intimacy and perspective through their skillful use of space and restraint. |

Zeus “Say Us“ Arts & Crafts Genre: Indie : Rock UPC: 827590510029 Territories: World Release Date: 02.23.10 |
As astute students of the history of rock n’ roll and purveyors of a sound that cross-references the British Invasion with ’70s southern U.S. rock, Zeus’ debut album demonstrates a band with an innate ability to create powerful and infectious music. |
 |
Osborne “The Ghostly Remixes” Ghostly International Genre: House : Dance UPC: 804297909417 Territories: Americas Release Date: 02.23.10 |
Well over a year after the release of Osborne’s sublime self-titled album on Spectral Sound, and the music still sounds fresh –nostalgic without being overly reverential, accessible, creative dance music with a pervading sense of humor and wonderment. No wonder, then, that Osborne spawned a suite of remixes that rival the originals’ unadulterated creative moxie. |

A Sunny Day in Glasgow “Nitetime Rainbows” Mis Ojos Discos Genre: Indie : Electronic UPC: 616892078661 Territories: World Release Date: 03.02.10 |
Fresh off the success of Ashes Grammar, which was listed at #42 on Pitchfork’s Top 50 of 2009 year end list, the band looks ahead to a promising 2010. Ben, Annie, and Josh were joined by band newcomers Jen Goma, Adam Herndon and Ryan Newmyer during their fall tour and will continue touring the world in 2010 including the band’s debut at SXSW music festival. |
 |
Various Artists “Phase One” Mothership Genre: Classical : Classical UPC: 093046750961 Territories: House : House Release Date: 02.23.10 |
“Phase One” is a compilation celebrating the best music from mothership so far. The package features everything from the massive hit “Viktor Casanova” by the Italoboyz to the spooky techno of “the Curse” by Voodeux. |
 |
Matthew Barber “True Believer” Outside Music Genre: Rock : Roots UPC: 623339905602 Territories: World Release Date: 02.23.10 |
For this, his fourth full-length album and follow-up to the internationally acclaimed and Juno-nominated record Ghost Notes (2008, Outside Music), Barber enlisted producer and local hero Howie Beck (Hayden, Jason Collett) to man the helm. |
 |
Parenthetical Girls “Privilege, Pt. 1: On Death & Endearments” Slender Means Society Genre: Indie : Pop UPC: 844185057776 Territories: World Release Date: 02.23.10 |
Ever the pragmatists, Parenthetical Girls are set to release their new full length record as a box set of five extremely limited 12” EPs on their own Slender Means Society label. These EPs will be sold separately in sequence every quarter over the next 15 months, each as they are completed. They will not be distributed to stores. |
