Voodeux’s debut album, “The Paranormal” is a concentrated vision of myth and mysterious beats, exploring the eerie after-life side of techno like no other artists have done to date. It is a 10 track vision of ghosts and goblins hiding in the closet ready to scare the daylights out of you.

THE LAST is one of Aventura’s most interesting projects. It draws upon world music, hip hop, R & B and rock. Guest artists include Akon, Ludacris, Wyclef Jean, Wisin & Yandel, and Arturo Sandoval. This is Urban Latin Pop at it’s finest.

There are the pictures. There’s the text. And then there’s the music, which accompanies, flies, reveals emotions, never becomes superfluous and never sentimentalizes the simple, poignant tale told by Yann Arthus-Bertrand’s movie. Armand Amar made several journeys to record with the Budapest Symphony Orchestra and the Shanghai Percussion Ensemble.

Fat Cat Records

UPC: 600116998125
Territories: North America
Release Date: 6.23.09
Posthumous Success is an enchanting sabbatical from the predominantly vocal and guitar/ all-acoustic recordings of previous records and a compelling nod to a more immediate musical environment. Tom evokes the simultaneous poignant darkness and simple resignation of pre-war North America with all the authenticity of a first-hand witness, but the songwriting is indelibly imbued with youth.

A blend of anthemic, groove-oriented progressive rock, psychedelic space disco & smooth 60s-style soul blended perfectly with early hip hop, orchestral flourishes, and moody, synth-soaked hooks. This is dance floor music at it’s best.

Release Date: 6.23.09
Born On Flag Day is Deer Tick’s highly anticipated second full-length album and follow-up to the band’s 2007 internationally acclaimed debut, War Elephant. This release follows two years of extensive touring in sold out clubs across the country and abroad. Unlike War Elephant, this album features the three new members of Deer Tick – Andy Tobiassen, Dennis Ryan and Chris Ryan. Born On Flag Day reflects a natural evolution from a singular vision of one songwriter to something much greater.

Co-founders Alden Penner and Brendan Reed have been quietly nurturing Clues in Montreal since the demise of their respective bands, Unicorns and Les Angles Morts. Penner’s voice, guitar and unique lyrical vision now guide Clues, wedded to Reed’s superlative compositional, percussive and arranging acumen. The resulting album radiates a warmth and urgency, full of secrets, smiles, snarls and sing-a-longs.

“Moondagger”
Ghostly International
UPC: 804297908502

Release Date: 6.2.09
Moondagger expands upon the positive electro-pop of Keepers with the addition of a full band. Thankfully, the prolific Chabot still seems blissfully unaware of his music’s genreless-ness. Thick, atmospheric production obscures bright melodies; ecstatic synth squiggles dance around new-wave beats; arrangement ideas bounce off one another within ambitious song structures that swerve left, then right, then left again.
