| 12.06.11 | Kate Ferencz Dumb Hearts Dumb Flowers Album Release | |
For everyone waiting with bated breath on Kate Ferencz's every word, consider your seemingly unquenchable thirst for new music temporarily quelled! Dumb Hearts Dumb Flowers is Kate Ferencz's splendid, noisy, percussive fifth album and is just as strange and fantastic as her previous works but uses a very different palette of sounds; drum machines, car alarms, what sounds like a less-than-Casio roto-tom setting on a mystery keyboard, etc. Of course, there are still the familiar shimmering bells of yore and Kate's unwavering voice delivering powerful truth! As on her last Single Girl Married Girl release, Kate's profusion of lyrics is somehow included in the liner notes and this time around there is a complementary digital download included with the cassette. A lesser public speaker might say something like, "Pinch me, I'm dreaming." Listen to "Barking and Fighting" from Dumb Hearts Dumb Flowers (right click to download)

| 09.17.11 | Hermit Thrushes Mystery Ocean Album Release & Tour | |
We are very proud to announce our release of the new Hermit Thrushes album, Mystery Ocean, which is now available for pre-order and will be officially released on CD and vinyl on September 20, 2011.
Mystery Ocean is a natural progression in the Hermit Thrushes catalog, a swift journey through layers of field recordings, shortwave radio signals, and erratically varied instrumentation. As on past recordings, Yianni Kourmadas delivers lyrics in both English and Greek and the influence of Greek folk music weaves its way through the mélange of unique traditions, ideas, and experiences that combine to form Hermit Thrushes' distinctive sound. The album was recorded and mixed with Daniel Smith (Danielson) along with portions recorded at the band's home studio in Philadelphia and was mastered by Josh Bonati (Big A Little a) creating a lush aural collaboration. Listen to "Ancient Wing" from Mystery Ocean (right click to download). Hermit Thrushes are supporting the album with a six-week tour of North America that begins today.
