“Everyoneʼs got a Berlin record in them and I guess we just wanted to see what
ours would sound like,” !!!ʼs lead singer Nic Offer says, with tongue partially in
Track Listing: cheek, of the groupʼs fourth album, Strange Weather, Isnʼt It? Following in the
footsteps of artists like David Bowie, Iggy Pop, and Depeche Mode, who have
flocked to Berlin in order to mainline the cityʼs legendary dark energy, !!! traveled
to the German capital to produce a record that is simultaneously brooding and
somehow their poppiest, most immediate record yet. !!! has also managed to
create the best distillation of the chaos, fun and intensity of !!!'s live show yet.
Strange Weather, Isnʼt It? was co-produced by the band with Eric Broucek, who
1. AM/FM used to be the house engineer for DFA Records. “We used everything we could
2. The Most Certain Sure – MacGyvered it together with a popsicle stick and a rubber band to make it work –
3. Wannagain Wannagain and Eric was definitely instrumental in making that happen,” says Offer. The result
4. Jamie, My Intentions Are Bass is an album that is leaner and more detailed than any of !!!ʼs previous albums. “In
5. Steady As The Sidewalk Cracks the early days weʼd put something deep in the mix, so that kids on acid could hear
6. Hollow it the 20th time they listened to it,” says Offer. “Now weʼve learned how to make
7. Jump Back records better. Itʼs like the deep techno you hear in Berlin; itʼs molded down to its
8. Even Judas Gave Jesus A Kiss most basic essence, almost like a sculpture that you keep working on to make it
9. The Hammer both denser and clearer at the same time.” Offer pauses for a moment to consider
what heʼs saying. “Donʼt get me wrong, though, you should still check the record
out on acid. Trust me.”
Sales Points:
- Press features & reviews already confirmed for August in FADER, Spin, and
Village Voice.
- Pitchfork has announced the album and will continue to cover the band as the

POP GREAT AMERICAN MUSIC COMPANY
Singer/guitarist Barbara Lynn was a rare commodity during her heyday. Not only
Track Listing: was she a female instrumentalist (one of the very first to hit the charts), but she
also played left-handed -- quite well at that -- and even wrote some of her own
material. Lynn's music often straddled the line between blues and Southern R&B.
This set presents a good picture of a versatile soul-blues singer on top of her
form. Much of her early work -- including the number one R&B hit "You'll Lose a
Good Thing" -- was recorded in New Orleans, under the supervision of
producer/impresario Huey P. Meaux, aka the Crazy Cajun. In 1966, Lynn started
recording for Meaux's Tribe label full time and cut "You Left the Water Running,"
which became something of an R&B standard and was covered by the likes of Otis
22 Song compilation of greatest hits Redding. “Sugar Coated Love” also become another big Gulf Coast hit. In
and Outtakes! addition to showcasing some of her own material, the set features Lynn renditions
of such hits as The Casinos' “Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye” and Hank Williams'
timeless “I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry.” There are also four alternate takes of
some of her best known tunes, such as 'I'm a Good Woman', 'Nice and Easy' and
'You Left the Water Running'. Just sit back and enjoy the work of this vastly
underrated artist from the fertile Gulf Coast!
Sales Points:
In late 2008, after gaining a solid reputation in Denver for playing crushing live
shows that were nothing short of a sonic assault, Black Sleep of Kali traveled to
Track Listing: Salt Lake City, Utah, to record a Demo EP with Andy Paterson (Iota, Ascend). Five
songs were recorded and self-released to very positive reviews. Shortly after
recording the EP, Carpenter decided he wanted to pursue a different musical
path and left the band. Without skipping a beat, Gordonʼs old friend, and friend of
the band, Patrick Alberts stepped in to fill Carpentersʼ shoes on guitar. Alberts
brought a new energy, and technical focus the band had previously lacked, and
an onslaught of creativity and writing ensued.
In March, 2010, Black Sleep Of Kali once again headed to Salt Lake City to record

three new original tracks, as well as a cover of The Cultʼs ʻRainʼ, etherally vocalized

to his 2007 psychedelic pop wonder Neighbor Singing
Three records in and with countless shows under their belt, this New York City powerhouse
power trio has set the benchmark for the sort of classic hard rock that the mainstream's
Track Listing: long forgotten and the underground only claims to represent. You want a cheap, mass

go see The Brought Low.
In the words of guitarist/singer Benjamin Howard Smith, the aptly titled Third Record has
the band "coming to terms with their punk rock roots" while remaining true to their
undisputed and undeniable classic rock sound. The end result is an invigorating,
unrelenting kick in the ass with hard charging rockers like "Old Century Man" and

Christian Fennesz, David Daniell and Tony Buck (The Necks) are three of the most

Fennesz (guitar and electronics), Daniell (guitar) and Buck (drums) channel their
collective energies into a darkly atmospheric piece of music that ebbs and flows
with remarkable cohesion.
Minimalist drum passages scatter over the top of textured layers of guitar and
subsumed melodic sequences, eventually giving way to warm beds of evolving,
tactile drones. Sonic rain showers roll into full-blown thunderstorms of effected
guitar and pounding drums only to yield a field of shattered electronic and

DRAMA JAGJAGUWAR
Following an Irish immigrant carpenter from coastal Queens to the Catskills and
Track Listing: beyond, The Builder is an American existential portrait that explores the gulf
between the idea of a thing and the thing itself. Having set off to the New York
countryside to construct a reproduction of the earliest of American cape houses,
the protagonist (Colm OʼLeary) finds himself overcome by an inexplicable fatigue.
Debts and expectations mount alongside the crudest and most naive of
deceptions, that of both self and of family. As the chasm grows the Builder finds
himself confronted by the unnerving ambivalence of the world around him.

HEAVY METAL PROFOUND LORE
Initially conjured by COBALT multi-instrumentalist Erik Wunder when residing in Colorado (which was also
the official birthplace of COBALT), MAN’S GIN initially started out by Erik Wunder and a friend who
gathered their acoustic guitars to create woeful songs of despair and loneliness in tribute to the drink itself
Track Listing: with music to drown one’s sorrows with. The result of this vision ended up as a small collection called “The
Rum Demos”, recorded many years ago (much before COBALT’s heralded “Gin” album was even finished
its writing process) on homegrown recording equipment. These demos were pretty much circulated
amongst the small circle of friends Wunder surrounded himself with.
There had always been songs intended for MAN’S GIN within Wunder’s musical repertoire but the time
came for Wunder to expand the MAN’S GIN sound even further, this time by acquiring two more musicians
to help bring the MAN’S GIN sound to the next level (by adding grand piano and upright bass) while Wunder
began to bring in electric guitars alongside the acoustic guitars and adding drums to the MAN’S GIN song
blueprint. Now the sound became complete.
1. Smiling Dogs Nonetheless MAN’S GIN’s sound is not metal, but more or less good ol’ Americana singer-songwriter stuff,
2. Free almost as if COBALT’s sound was transformed into a singer-songwriter vibe and had its metal entirely
3. Stone On My Head stripped away from it. MAN’S GIN’s sound is very reminiscent of the likes of such luminary acts as
WOVEN HAND, NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS (think “Henry’s Dream” era), the more acoustic side of
4. Solid Gold Telephone ALICE IN CHAINS, and even reminiscent of musicians such as JOHNNY CASH and TOM WAITS and

The debut album from S. Carey, All We Grow, is the result of a young lifetime
spent immersed in music. As a band member of Bon Iver from the very beginning,
Track Listing: Sean Carey witnessed a flip of his formal training to step firmly into a worldwide-
touring rock band. His performance degree in classical percussion from the
University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire and his love for jazz drumming prepared him
for a central role in the inspiring force of the Bon Iver live show.
All We Grow is a convergence of Careyʼs Waltz For Debby-era Bill Evans inflected
jazz tendencies, and traditional rock band experience, taking leads from Mark
Hollisʼ Talk Talk. It also retests the waters of modern classical composition,

by such forefathers of the genre such as ATHIEST, CYNIC, PESTILENCE, and

Righteous Destroyer) have also been involved with some of Australiaʼs top underground
extreme metal bands likewise, namely MOURNFUL CONGREGATION and being part of
