The Copyrights North Sentinel Island Red Scare Genre: Punk : Alternative UPC: 187223015063 Territories: World Release Date: 8.02.11 |
Yet another gem to come out of Chicago’s Atlas Studios and long-time Copyright’s fans will notice more instrumentation, experimentation, and added bells and whistles on this latest offering. But the nerds and die-hards need not fear, these are still the same pop-punk heroes we’ve come to rely on for big choruses, bigger hooks, and keen lyrics. Quite possibly their best yet. |

Luan Santana Ao Vivo No Rio Som Livre Genre: Contemporary Country : Brazilian UPC: 7891430182724 Territories: World ex- BR Release Date: 8.09.11 |
Luan Santana’s charisma and talent are evident in Ao Vivo No Rio, a live album recorded in Rio de Janeiro in December of 2010. It’s not a simple shift from his previous works; it’s a maturation of Luan’s musical sensibilities. From the cheerful and sunny Carnival song “Química do Amor” to the piano-led ballad “Amar Não É Pecado”, Luan goes from style to style with security and emotion. |

Drugstore Anatomy Rocket Girl Genre: Alternative : Indie UPC: 5016266107983 Territories: World Release Date: 8.08.11 |
Isabel Monteiro has a story to tell you. It’s about passion and pain; rock-bottom and redemption. It’s as compelling as it is gratifyingly entertaining and moving. Isabel’s smoky vocals and pitch-dark lyrical subject matter, coupled with her new band’s minimalist, melancholic guitar and string arrangements, stick them firmly in the lovelorn, caustic company of Low, Dusty in Memphis and Leonard Cohen. |

O-Brown New West Free Agent Eulita Music Group Genre: Hip-Hop : Indie UPC: 822701157636 Territory: World Release Date: 8.09.11 |
O-Brown comes out swinging with Gripping rhymes; hard hitting beats, and A list talent are the meat and potatoes of O-Brown’s sophomore effort, New West Free Agent. A percussive, Hip Hop album capable of leaving the most seasoned MC shaking, Producers with their jaws on the floor, and indie-kids feeling hip for a second or two, New West Free Agent is as pure and hard hitting as it gets. |

Paul Motian, Bill Frisell, Petra Haden, Thomas Morgan The Windmills of Your Mind Winter & Winter GmbH Genre: Jazz : Vocal UPC: 025091018222 Territories: CA, US Release Date: 8.09.11 |
In the late 60s Motian played with Keith Jarret and Charlie Haden. After a few years saxophonist Dewey Redman joined the group.

His canon is part of the essential core of the outstanding music which was created on the hinge between the 20th and the 21st century. |
