 |
MAYER HAWTHORNE A STRANGE ARRANGEMENT *ON SALE*
2009 debut album from the Michigan-bred Pop/Soul singer/songwriter. A Strange Arrangement draws from the inspiration of Leroy Hutson, Smokey Robinson and the legendary songwriting and production trio of Holland, Dozier, Holland. At the same time, it revels in raw the sounds of the independent (and often unappreciated) musicians who aspired to achieve a level of success akin to their famous peers. The album is full of original compositions (bar a cover of The New Holidays' 'Maybe So, Maybe No') that underlies a heartfelt nostalgia to the sweet Soul of yesteryear. 12 tracks. |

HEALTH GET COLOR *ON SALE*
GET COLOR is the highly-anticipated second album from Los Angeles noise-wonders HEALTH. After two solid years touring with the likes of Nine Inch Nails, Of Montreal, Crystal Castles, etc., and releasing their much-loved self-titled debut and bangin' HEALTH//DISCO remix record, the band convened in in an especially gnarly part of Lincoln Heights, L.A to record GET COLOR. The record is an exuberant proclamation of noise, rock and electronic splendor. It's a celebration of sound; pretty, harsh, soft and basked in a blanket of ethereal vocals. |
 |
PHISH JOY *ON SALE*
2009 studio album from the reformed band led by guitarist extraordinaire Trey Anastasio. The album was produced by Steve Lillywhite and was recorded in New York's Chung King Studios.

SLIPKNOT SLIPKNOT (10TH ANN. EDITION) *ON SALE*
2009 two disc (CD/DVD) release that marks the historic 10th anniversary of the release of Slipknot - a genre defying debut album that shook up the Hard Rock world with its raw and brutal sound while setting the stage for a career that has defied all odds and proved many skeptics wrong. This release features 25 songs - the debut album as it was originally released with the long lost classic 'Purity' as well as 10 bonus tracks including rare demos, remixes and B-sides as well as the unreleased demo for the single 'Wait And Bleed'. The bonus DVD contains a full length concert, live from Dynamo 2000, a full length 50 minute documentary with footage from the band with commentary from Shawn (Clown) Crahan, and four music videos including the ultra rare 'Surfacing' video, as well as the alternate version of 'Wait & Bleed.' |

VIVIAN GIRLS EVERYTHING GOES WRONG *ON SALE*
2009 release from the Brooklyn-based all-girl Alt-Rock trio. Everything Goes Wrong is a darker, moodier album than its predecessor, with a couple tracks clocking in at almost twice the length of anything on their debut. That said, the influences remain the same; Ramones, '60s girl groups, Surf, Indie Pop, etc. This is immediately classic stuff. Over the last year, the Vivian Girls have toured the US and Europe extensively, received a considerable amount of national and international press, sparked fierce debate as to whether they are a refreshing blast of unselfconscious punk rock energy or a crew of contemptible, incompetent posers and, perhaps most significant of all, become the subject of a question on the Jeopardy game show. Everything Goes Wrong 13 tracks. |
 |
RODRIGO Y GABRIELA 11:11 *ON SALE*
"Much like Antonio Forcione, the Mexican flamenco-rock duo bring a new kind of athleticism to acoustic power chords. Melodically, they’re less subtle: many of their tunes establish a pulsating vamp and then settle for turning up the rhythm knob to the vaunted number 11. But the mercurial fingerwork is mesmerising, and rockers will enjoy the echoes of Hendrix on Buster Voodoo. Another axe duo, Strunz & Farah, briefly sit in, while the metal hero Alex Skolnick sets the room screaming on Atman, a number that blossoms magically out of Chac Mool. The Gipsy Kings-meet-Led Zep ethos will never appeal to the faint-hearted, but it’s hard not to be impressed by the sheer energy. " |

JAMES HAND SHADOW ON THE GROUND *ON SALE*
James Hand, like Willie Nelson, Billie Joe Shaver, Ernest Tubb and Lefty Frizzell, hails from the central Texas prairie. There, in the honky-tonks, he has honed his musical craft and plied his trade by night, while working day jobs from training horses, to rodeo rider, to driving trucks. With all of James Hand's songs, the themes and the stories come from life itself, from his heart. Shadow on the Ground, his second Rounder release, features 11 original country gems, plus a stunning remake of the Nat King Cole classic, "Mona Lisa." |
 |
BOYS LIKE GIRLS LOVE DRUNK *ON SALE*
2009 sophomore album from the Boston quartet. Love Drunk has been described as a happy medium between the Pop/Rck of the debut album and the more electronic sound of bands like The Killers and Franz Ferdinand. |
 |
WHEEDLE'S GROOVE KEARNEY BARTON *ON SALE*
2009 release that features modern material recorded by an all-star band made up of members of Seattle's finest Funk and Soul acts from the '60s and '70s. Magic that could only have been seen on a small stage, in a packed theatre, in August of 2004. That was when Light In The Attic released a landmark compilation called Wheedle's Groove: Seattle's Finest In Funk & Soul 1965-75, and to celebrate brought together many of those original Seattle Funk and Soul artists for a one-night-only reunion concert, led by young blood music director and KEXP DJ Johnny Horn, and featuring Robbie Hill, Overton Berry, Patrinell Staten, Ron Buford, and KYAC's very own #1 boss-jock Robert Nesbitt. The following day, still on a high from the show, LITA, Horn, DJ Mr. Supreme, and lead-producer Dynomite D (Beastie Boys) birthed the idea of cutting a new album covers and originals - with some of these local music legends. And this is that album! |

JAPANDROIDS POST-NOTHING CD/LP "Japandroids have a point of view and an M.O., but more impressively, they've mastered another secret to swaying the public: confidence without smugness." --Spin
Japandroids (JPNDRDS) is a two piece band from Vancouver, BC. This 'band' started in 2006 as a creative outlet for the post-teenage angst of Brian King and David Prowse. Originally intending to be a trio, the boys decided to forgo the logistical nightmare of having a 'lead singer' and do it themselves. As a consequence, Japandroids are one guitar, one set of drums, and two vocalizers. They call it garage rock. They don't care what you call it, as long as it's not minimal. Japandroids are maximal - a two piece band trying to sound like a five piece band.

SIX ORGANS OF ADMITTANCE LUMINOUS NIGHT CD/LP
Through dark days and glowing nights, Six Organs of Admittance continues to step to the far rim of the world with purposeful strides. Indeed, new horizons are visible throughout Luminous Night. Be it in the face of spiritual crisis or catharsis, Ben Chasny as Six Organs refuses to stagnate, or to evolve in predictable fashion; in response, he keeps moving on. This is the first Six Organs of Admittance album with such a lengthy gap between it and its former number. In the past two years Chasny has kept busy writing this new epic, moving house to Seattle, composing soundtracks for novels and movies, and touring constantly in America and Europe (with bands like The Dead C and OM) as well as being invited by legendary post-metal group Neurosis to play their Beyond The Pale festival in Belgium. . |
JAY REATARD WATCH ME FALL CD/LP For his second studio album and proper Matador debut, Memphis prolific punk wunderkind Jay Reatard has moved beyond his roots and recorded an album chockful of irresistible melodies, the songs cascading with joyous hooks. He would not be Jay Reatard, however, if there wasn’t a certain aggro negativity, and the song titles and lyrics do much to undercut the pop sensibility: I’m Watching You, Hang Them All, Can’t Do It Anymore, Wounded, It Ain’t Gonna Save Me.

PISSED JEANS KING OF JEANS CD/LP
Pennsylvania’s
Pissed Jeans are a dirty, messy,
train wreck soaked in molasses. Kings
of the current noise-rock revival, Pissed
Jeans reference the long gone tone of
the ‘90s AmRep catalog while dipping
into just enough Touch and Go to
keep your ears ringing and pile on the
hardcore/punk fury of Black Flag. King
of Jeans is an excellent coming of age
follow-up to 2007’s critically-acclaimed
Hope for Men and while The Jesus Lizard
influence is still quite evident, Pissed
Jeans even bring out some Sabbathesque
dirges on this damaged, collection
of chaos. Dark, powerful and totally rocking,
this is the sound of a mature Pissed
Jeans. Highly recommended! Produced
by Alex Newport (At the Drive-In, The
Locust, Sepultura). BEHOLD THE JEANSUS LIZARD.

WIN SUNN O))) TICKETS FROM EARSHOT & CHUNKLET
So if you haven't heard by now, the mighty SUNN O))) will be touring the east coast and finally visiting us good ol' southern folks, thanks to the CHUNKLET camp.
Earshot will be giving away a pair of tickets to the show (stay tuned to our e-mail blast to find out how) in ATLANTA 9/26 Here is a message from Henry at Chunklet on how to buy tickets, (Earshot will not be selling tickets to these shows):
So Chunklet is putting on three shows with drone powerhouse SUNN O))) this fall in Athens and Atlanta.
I'm making this post only because I've received like 10 calls at the house from people as far away as Florida and South Carolina as to how to buy tickets for the Athens gig.
If you need tickets and you can't make it to Wuxtry or Schoolkids in Athens or Criminal in Atlanta, please contact me directly at henry (at) chunklet (dot) com and we'll sort you out. I'm sure we could manage a paypal thing or tickets at the door.
So you know, the church that Sunn O))) is performing at in Athens is where R.E.M. did their acoustic set in the movie "Athens, GA: Inside/Out." It's a gorgeous room that's been completely rebuilt.
The tickets for the Atlanta show are available through ticketalternative.com |
