PRIMITIVE SKIN TO RELEASE FIRST EP

This just in...our friends Primtive Skin are headed to BIAS studios in DC to record their first EP in early December. We have heard some sneak peeks of the demo recordings of these tunes and are pumped to hear the final versions. We recommend Primitive Skin to fans of heavy psych and shoegaze, particularly those of you who enjoy bands like the Brian Jonestown Massacre, the Jesus and Mary Chain, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, and Crocodiles. Look for the EP to drop around January/February 2012.

YOUNG THE GIANT - EMPIRE ANTS (LIVE GORILLAS COVER, MTV UNPLUGGED)

Simply amazing. We were fortunate enough to have the chance to attend YTG's performance for MTV Unplugged at Highline Studios. This cover blew everyone away...it's better than the original.

Barr Brothers, Self-Titled Debut Album

Amazing songwriters and instrumentalists Brad and Andrew Barr from the Slip release their full legnth debut as the Barr Brothers on Tuesday September 26. Go grab a copy or download one on i-Tunes. Those of following this group over the last year or so (and lucky enough to have grabbed a pre-release of the album at a live show) know that they are something really special. A beautiful blend of traditional folk, polyrhythms, blues guitar, african grooves, experimental rock, and wonderful lyricism. Somewhere between Ali Farka Toure, Ry Cooder, Paul Simon, Wilco, and Zeppelin. And by the way, the have a harp player. The song "Beggar in the Morning" might just be one of my all-time favorites.
