• A brand-new sound for the von Trapp family legacy, influenced by the Beach Boys, Blind Pilot, Rufus Wainwright, and Fleet Foxes.

Media & Marketing

• Full media campaign by high-powered New Yorkbased publicist Girlie Action.

• Full indie radio campaign by Never Better.

• Super-catchy title track “Dancing in Gold” will be heavily promoted online, and to independent radio, with a music video debuting on album release date.

The first release of all-original music by the legendary von Trapps, great-grandchildren of Maria & Captain von Trapp! Dancing in Gold is the first in a projected series of three EPs of original songs to be released by The von Trapps over the next two years. Each EP will feature a different producer, and the artwork included with each release will integrate with the other artwork in the series, evolving to produce an interlocking piece of large, displayable original art.

“Beautifully harmonized … Dream a Little Dream is an entertaining blend of both parties’ strengths, showcasing Pink Martini’s globetrotting pop and introducing the next generation of von Trapp music.”

Soon after, Tom relocated to Leeds to assemble a full band, with an end result that finds the lads playing straight-edge hardcore punk with an obvious Oi! influence. Now, with a lengthy U.S. tour with brother band The Flex under their belts, Violent Reaction are set to make their Revelation Records debut with Marching On.

New Atlantis Records is honored to announce the release of Unnatural Ways, the debut LP from virtuosic guitarist Ava Mendoza! This slab of wax delivers unabashed, raucous sonics, marrying the menacing tones of the creative rock underground to haunting, arcing compositions potentiated by the fiery spontaneity of classic free jazz. Recently heralded as one of Guitar World’s “10 Female Guitarists You Should Know,” Ava’s playing is unapologetically searing, and she magically coagulates the influence of warped blues players, noise-rockers, and technically prodigious brutal-proggers alike.

• Press, publicity, and radio by Solid PR and New Atlantis.

New Atlantis Records is thrilled to announce the release the seventh LP from legendary avant-prog unit Upsilon Acrux, titled Sun Square Dialect!

This band will pillage your stereo field, butting coruscating, contradictory lines of unequal measure against explosive percussion, compelling resolutions, and intricate melodies. Boasting a revamped lineup of dual drums, dual guitars, and Fender Rhodes, the group delivers a massively propulsive, wildly asymmetric takedown of conventional rock structure. Longtime fixtures of the Los Angeles experimental music community, their approach to instrumental rock is unique, stellar, and sweeping. These sounds are burning, stoked by angularity, mania, and profound mastery of the balance between beauty, tension and release.

“A paradoxical mix of intricacy and immediacy.”

“A stunning example of both virtuosity and clever composition.”

“Upsilon Acrux is amazzzzzzzzing.”

— THURSTON MOORE, SONIC YOUTH

“Seldom is music so challenging also so easy to listen to.”

Somewhere between punk’s first legendary wave and Culture Club’s last dick-shaking tinkle, lay the Carter administration’s post-disco wasteland. And if this was a generation better off forgotten, L.A’s Flash Bastard is here to make sure the torch is lit anew. Feeling the Kardashians can’t keep today’s masses shallow all by themselves, Flash Bastard has arrived like a 1981 “shaggin’ wagon” to pick up the slack. Lost somewhere between ABBA and the Misfits, this is disco-ruffied glitter rock at its least culturally redeeming and most rewarding. This is Flash Bastard.

180-gram vinyl in thick matte cover & printed inner sleeve, with free digital download. The simplest way to define Fogh Depot’s music would be to call it seductive, brooding jazz with an electronic twist.

The band conjoins the un-conjoinable, combining distorted low-resolution samples with atmospheric piano chords, multilayered drones, and four-to-thefloor beats with timeless ambient soundscapes. A live performance targeted at acoustic perception binds this technological hodgepodge together, giving every listener a chance to find the right texture for a rainy evening and a glass of good scotch.

AUN’s music has always suggested forays into other dimensions, be it imaginary worlds, industrial wastelands, through space and time, or via mind-altered states. From the ominous dystopian artwork to the first notes of the title track “Fiat Lux,” we are once again transported on AUN’s otherworldly path. Ever since the space industrial and power electronics of AUN’s previous cult release Black Pyramid, the world has become even more sinister; in contrast, Fiat Lux exudes even more of AUN’s melancholic hopefulness. The disintegrating chords and densely textured waves, anchored by a left-field industrial pulse, invoke occult, drug-enhanced future psychedelia. Created in part in their Montreal studio, these tracks were extensively performed live prior to recording, and refined while on tour breaks in Montpellier, Barcelona, and Tokyo.

The spectral second installment of Funerary Call’s The Mirror Reversed tumbles deeper through the Setian tunnels, leading the way to the vast and mysterious Other Side. Continuing from where his initial movement left us, Harlow MacFarlane once again summons the tones and auras of his Qliphothic interpretation, a serpentine force extending from a churning black vortex lined with crystalline fetters.

A dark and textured voyage through the shards of the shattered black surface that once reflected the illusory, the 46-minute meditation ebbs and flows through ambient pulsations of fear, awakening, and the unknowable. Each segmented chapter is a dynamic representation of the individual demonic forces at work, bringing us closer to the roiling waters of formlessness. The forbidden freedom of the Other Side awaits…

“A poignant expression moving on the most extreme formats of dark-ambient music.” — SIDE-LINE Track Listing: The Mirror Reversed Part II (46 min) Key Markets: New York, Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago

As a solo composer, San Francisco-based multi-instrumentalist Leila Abdul-Rauf stylistically diverges from her current and previous work in much heavier projects (Vastum, Ionophore, Amber Asylum). Insomnia represents her first CD release following an LP on Saadi Saati in 2013, and a collaborative 7” with Tor Lundvall on Dais Records in 2014. Insomnia brings the spirit of these earlier releases to a new level of dynamic richness, with additional instrumentation and several guest contributions. Brass, piano, and various other textures are delicately woven into filmic soundscapes that echo the sounds of memories faded through time.

Sewer Goddess’ 2010 CD debut, With Dirt You Are One, seemed to come and go in the blink of a rotted eye, and while there have been numerous cassette, compilation, and live recordings since then, nothing could possibly prepare you for the evolution in sound that has occurred. Recent performances have hinted at it, but Painlust goes beyond all expectations to deliver a benchmark recording. Now backed by a full-fledged band and recorded in studio, Kristen Rose and company have taken a blade to the original Sewer Goddess template and ceremoniously cut the fat, leaving a lean, sinewy carcass that’s as much doom metal as it death industrial.

Formed in Italy in December 2008 by Claudio Florio (Trinkarius, Holy Knights) and Niki Zummo, who both wanted to form a band heavily influenced by power metal, Crimson Wind’s debut album The Wings of Salvation was released in 2011 and received rave reviews from fans and critics alike. Now, the band is back with their sophomore effort, featuring a great new vocalist and a refreshing sound, delivering their fierce version of symphonic power metal that — apart from some damn serious drumming and riffing — also includes keyboards and choir arrangements. This is definitely an album no power metal fan should miss!

Tenth album by this cult underground band!

Facebook ad campaign.

A Passage to Rhodesia is ROME’s tenth album, and it’s safe to say it’s one of the most important releases in the band’s longstanding career. The album unites instant dark folk classics such as “A Farewell to Europe” and “One Fire” with ambient collages in the best industrial and experimental traditions. Mastermind Jerome Reuter has accomplished a great swirling devil of a record, an epic and tragic masterpiece of considerable scale, rich in theme and philosophic inquiry.

“Jerome Reuter has taken his apocalyptic folk project ROME to another level of excellence … an artist that possesses an uncanny ability to mix the breadth of beauty with the depth of despair.”

Blurring the lines between heaven and hell, cult and religion, Annodalleb is the mind-altering sonic brain spawn of Prophei and Cyrusrex. Annodalleb has an extended history in the LA electronic music scene; originally founded in early 1996, the band quickly evolved into a full-time effort to destroy the boundaries of electronic music. Since its inception, Annodalleb has been near-stalked by a frightening yet dedicated cult following, and despite their usual release of one song a year, Prophei and Cyrusrex are now unleashing their long anticipated first album, featuring remixes from some of today’s most widely respected electronic producers including Hallucinogen, ManMadeMan, Otto Von Schirach, Digitalis, and more.

When asked for an overview of his latest album, Jon Christopher Allen replied “Keep a Light On was written on the streets of NYC and you can feel the pulse of the city when listening to it. With authentic lyrics that lie in a bed of rhythm, this album moves both the body and the mind.”

Recorded under the watchful eye of producer Mark Ambrosino, this fourth album distinguishes itself from those that have come before: “In the past I wouldn’t perform my material before hitting the studio. I was afraid to expose a work in progress. I was afraid of looking bad. I’ve been performing the songs on this album for well over a year now. When you perform a song, you know if it’s right. You can tell by the way the crowd is responding and you can tell by the way you feel playing it. These songs have been shaped by my people. I’m taking this one from the street to the studio.”

“Jon’s music has been a long time coming, and in a sense, his whole life has been a rehearsal.

True, he’s been performing for nearly two decades … but this time, things are different.”

NAIL NEWS & REVIEWS HUFFINGTON POST “The band ushered in a new wave of punk, known as post-punk ... and it is his guitar work and that idea that has influenced Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello, Bloc Party, Franz Ferdinand, Nirvana, REM, and Red Hot Chili Peppers.”

CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND “Jagged guitar riffs, slick percussion, and Alison Mosshart’s distinctly Pat Benatar-inspired croon ... there’s an air of reckless abandon and hedonism that abounds in ‘England’s In My Bones,’ infusing the song with a kind of darkly-tinged intensity and sexual charm.”

SOMETHING ELSE “The amazingly diverse, cross-cultural and incisive saxophonist Rudresh Mahanthappa roves across the musical landscape in an endless quest to bring jazz into new areas.

But if there’s a common thread in his ambitious body of work, it can be traced to another altoist who was pushing against jazz’s boundaries some seventy years ago. ‘If I ever feel uninspired or down I can always go back to Charlie Parker,’ discloses Mahanthappa. ‘That always makes me feel invigorated and joyful about playing jazz.’”

MUSIC TIMES “For many budding singers and songwriters, nabbing a much-coveted spot on ‘The Voice’ is a dream come true. For Blessing Offor, it was a launching pad for the next part of his career.
