Beans Featured Artist: BeansArtist: Beans
Title: End It All
Label: anticon
Genre: Hip-Hop : Electronic
Release Date: 02.15.11
UPC: 656605798028
Territory: World Ex. Europe

Brooklyn-based rapper Beans has lead quite an auspicious career over the last two decades. His old group, the legendary experimental and innovative Anti-Pop Consortium, is counted amongst Rap’s greatest units. His solo career has also proved fruitful, as Beans has made a name for himself outside of Anti-Pop’s success. In 2009 the group reunited and released a highly anticipated fifth album entitled Fluorescent Black, which was met with universal acclaim. Beans has put out four solo records that proved his unique style was invaluable to the hip-hop community. His last record, Thorns, was bittersweet, but an exercise is raw, exhausting emotion that one rarely hears anymore. Now he returns after the Anti-Pop reunion to present his new, fourth solo effort, End It All. The new record is a lush, darkly tinted soundscape that featured top-notch production from some of today’s most inspired names including Four Tet, Clark, TOBACCO, Son Lux, In Flagranti, Sam Fog (Interpol), and more. Needless to say, End It All is more than appropriate as Beans’s anticon debut; he fits in seamlessly with the label’s already spectacular roster

Grand Hotel
Union Square Music
Genre: Rock : Rock
UPC: 0698458354389

Release Date: 11.01.10
Procol Harum’s sixth studio album reached No. 21 in the Billboard charts in 1973, was certified Gold and remained in the album chart for 7 weeks.

This re-released version includes two previously unreleased bonus tracks.

Release Date: 10.19.10
One of the most remarkable musical legends of the XX century, Chavela Vargas recorded and co-produced ¡Por Mi Culpa! aged 90 because she was determined to have an album she considered hers and to include on it the artists in whose hands she leaves her legacy.

Gold Panda usually takes his time, trafficking in expertly paced mid-tempo hip-hop beats and lush, synthetic/organic textures; so when the UK producer nods towards the dancefloor, the effects are exhilarating.

Release Date: 11.09.10
Gregory & The Hawk’s third full-length finds Meredith Godreau peeling back layers of production, of emotion, of space between herself and the world, to find a raw honesty. This more stripped-back approach allows the stunning voice of a clearly gifted singer to shine through, unabated; complemented rather than obstructed by the harps, guitars and creepy sonic knick-knacks that have found their way in.

Hot on the heels of his acclaimed second album, Maniac Meat (Pitchfork’s “feel-weird hit of the summer,” 4/5 from Spin), Tobacco returns with LA UTI. A companion piece to that late May release, this EP delivers three brand new tracks and four considerable reworkings, all featuring guest raps from a cross-country, cross-crew lineup of hip-hop misfits.

Within a grainy film-still between a summer sunset and the end of times lies the post-punk squall of Weekend. Weekend filter the aggression, tempo and sneer of punk through a wall of reverb, haunting melody, feedback and primitive garage guitar. Formed in San Francisco in late 2009 by three childhood friends, the band have quickly developed a totally distinctive take on the history of post-punk noise rock.
