Pitchfork, Best New Music “Innnite Worlds is the most powerful meditation on the politics of space I've heard since Solange's A Seat At The Table.”

ROBYN HITCHCOCK ROBYN HITCHCOCK WORLDWIDE STREET DATE: APRIL 21, 2017

Robyn Hitchcock immediately stands among the most energized and ambitious recordings of the iconic troubadour’s four-decade career. The album sees the East Nashville-based Hitchcock casting familiar shapes into surprising new forms, the sci-fi fueled sounds and visions that first stimulated his work now ribboned with experience and hard-earned wisdom. The album, Hitchcock’s 21st studio recording, was recorded in Nashville, TN, with producer Brendan Benson (The Raconteurs) and backing by a crack band of fellow Music City pickers and players that includes guitarist Annie McCue, bassist Jon Estes, and drummer Jon Radford. Harmony vocal contributions come courtesy of Emma Swift, Grant Lee Phillips, Gillian Welch, and Wilco’s Pat Sansone.

HIGHLIGHTS • Robyn Hitchcock’s 21st studio recording • Follow-up to 2014’s critically acclaimed The Man Upstairs • Produced by Brendan Benson (The Raconteurs) • National press handled by Ken Weinstein at Big Hassle • First single “I Want To Tell You About What I Want” premiered by NPR Music • May 3rd full band show at Troubadour in West Hollywood, CA TRACK LISTING 1.

ACTRESS “AZD”

Street Date: 4/7/2017 ZENCD241 / ZEN241 / ZEN241X Darren Cunningham aka Actress returns with a new album and a new alter-ego – “AZD” (pronounced “Azeed”), a chrome-plated journey into a parallel world. An artist who has always preferred to make music than to talk about it (or listen to what anyone else has to say about it), in “AZD” he has achieved another remarkable landmark, one which is as resistant to interpretation as it is demanding of it.

So a few pointers, or possible ways to think about “AZD”. The album is themed around chrome – both as a reflective surface to see the self in, and as something only surfacedeep, the perfect metaphor for the bleakness of life in London. Another way to approach would be through the art of James Hampton and the Ramm:Ell:Zee (who is sampled on “CYN”) – both of whom, though of different generations of the African-American slave diaspora, created art through “scavenging stuff from nothing and turning it into absolute majesty.” There is also the career-long influence of the Detroit techno pioneers, something which comes over clearer on this album: in the past “rhythms have always been blurred out, now it has more glow.” Alternatively, you could write your PhD thesis on Jung’s Shadow Theory and AZD: “Lots things come from dreams, some things dug out of the subconscious. Sometimes the unconscious comes into the subconscious, sometimes the conscious mind starts to meld into universal consciousness.” If that sounds too taxing then you could always fall back on Star Wars and, in particular, the Death Star: “It has a dark dystopian backdrop, with highly sopshisticated technology, but it is fading into the ether, still holding on and emitting a powerful energy. The music remaking the embers, binding them together and pulling them apart again.”

Alternatively, just listen. That “glow” Cunningham talks about makes this in some ways more immediate than previous Actress releases. Take lead single, “X22RME” (pronounced “Extreme”) which wilfully plays with varying takes on the tropes of rave/hardcore, fitting together snippets of them into a jigsaw-like three dimensional whole. At the other end of the spectrum is “Faure in Chrome,” the result of his collaboration with the London Contemporary Orchestra, in which he “repatterns” Faure’s Requiem into a piece which sounds like the very institution of classical music being encased in electronic ice. In between are gems like “Runner,” which crashes early 80s synthpop up against African chants, or “Falling Rizlas,” an alienated music-box ballad. It’s a remarkable piece of work, that harks back both to Actress’ previous productions and to earlier iterations of the (broadly conceived) “techno” project without being beholden to anything but Cunningham’s forward-facing, individual and fractured vision.

The simplest you could say about “AZD” is that it’s art – the unique creation of a unique mind. There will be few more distinctive, brilliant or visionary suites of music released in 2017. Call him what you will, this is the year that Darren ‘Daz’ Cunningham - aka Actress, aka AZD – asserts more clearly than ever before his complete independence.

CHARLY BLISS GUPPY

bark169 CD / CASSETTE+MP3 / LP+MP3

STREET DATE: APRIL 21, 2017

If it’s true that listening to just the right record at just the right moment can psychically transport you to some other time and place, then Charly Bliss—an NYC band responsible for having crafted some of the finest guitar-crunched power pop this side of an old Weezer record with a blue cover—can pretty much turn any space into an adult-friendly version of your old teenage bedroom, a candy-scented safe space for extreme fits of happiness and angsty teen-level explosions of romantic ennui.

The ten tracks that make up Guppy, Charly Bliss’ sparking full-length debut, show the band embracing all of their strengths—a combination of ripping guitars and irrepressible pop hooks, all delivered with the hyper-enthusiasm of a middle school cafeteria food fight. That every track is loaded front-to-back with sing/shout-worthy lyrics and earworm melodies is a testament to the band’s commitment to the art form of pop songwriting.

Guppy is a record that doesn’t so much seek to reinvent the pop wheel so much as gleefully refine it. “People forget sometimes that expressing joy is just as important as examining despair,” says Dan Shure, bassist for Charly Bliss. “People need joy, especially right now.

We’re all about writing tight pop songs, but also giving people this super enthusiastic release.

These songs are kind of the sound of expressing something that you can’t really contain.

These are songs you play really loudly when you need to freak out.”

Early Press Reaction to Guppy:

When people talk about Arto Lindsay’s body of work, they often project a reductive dichotomy.

There is Scary Arto and Sexy Arto.

Scary Arto’s music is stormy and serrated and ruthless and almost deranged; evoking perhaps the glare and noise of New York City. Sexy Arto’s music is seductive and warm and textured and ethereal; evoking perhaps the dappled sunlight of Brazil. Both musics seem dreamlike. In the sense that there are many kinds of dreams.

In 2014, Northern Spy issued a unique and conceptually provocative double-disc anthology of Arto’s solo work, called Encyclopedia Of Arto. Disc 1 was a “best of Arto LIndsay” survey of his solo albums. Disc 2 was something much more unusual: many of the same songs from disc one, performed live with Arto’s signature haywire noise guitar (Scary Arto) juxtaposed against his lilting, slyly erotic, post-Caetano vocal style (Sexy Arto).

The choice to marry Sexy and Scary into a single performance was striking and bold. I cannot speak for Arto, but my read of the statement was that it rebuked the notion that his vision is somehow binary. It felt like fresh terrain.

This brings us to Cuidado Madame, the long awaited new album, where Arto’s mastery is in full bloom. Though the album certainly favors Sexy Arto, its fearlessness makes us let go of our boring, dichotomous ideas. On offer is the full, inimitable Arto Lindsay range of texture, noise, technology, ensemble playing, melody and poetry, sensuality and intellect.

You will find that you stop analyzing and parsing. You will find that you surrender.

In the sense that there are many kinds of dreams.

THE SUITCASE JUNKET

PILE DRIVER

From the salvaged sounds of American juke joints, back porches, honky tonks and rock clubs, The Suitcase Junket conjures an entirely new sound in this essential rock collection, Pile Driver.

The Suitcase Junket is Matt Lorenz: artist, tinkerer, swamp yankee, oneman band. His is the road-worn voice rising over the grind of a tube-amped dumpster guitar, and the wild double pitches of throat singing. From The Suitcase Junket’s penchant for thrift and ingenuity comes this full-length album -- his debut at Signature Sounds -- of original rock anthems, mountain ballads, blues manifestos and dancehall festivity, played on instruments built of broken bottles, twisted forks, dried bones, gas cans, shoes, saw blades, a toy keyboard, and an overhead compartment’s worth of luggage.

● Credits on over forty motion pictures including The

● One of the two composers for the Turtle Rock/2K

Derived from an audio library of cosmological activity collected between 1993 and 2003, Lustmord gathered Dark Matter from various sources including NASA (Cape Canaveral, Ames, The Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Arecibo), The Very Large Array, The National Radio Astronomy Observatory and various educational institutions and private contributors throughout the USA Lustmord writes: "The Universe we inhabit is a vast expanse far larger than we are able to comprehend. As we attempt to understand its underlying structure and as we gain new insight into the nature of matter, new questions arise and further gaps in our understanding are revealed.

Behind the world that we experience lies a veil of darkness and much is hidden between, beyond and unseen. We are limited by our inability to truly grasp the infinite breadth of the Universe, the time scales involved in its measure and our insignificant position within. Some things will always be unknowable, and existence does not begin or end with man's conception. Everything that has ever been observed by man, even with our most sophisticated instruments amounts, to less than five percent of the Universe.

Approximately sixty-eight percent of the Universe is unseen dark energy and approximately twenty-seven percent is unseen dark matter. We have yet to discover what dark matter is, and only know the things it is not. Although it has not been directly observed, its existence and properties are inferred from its effects on visible matter, its influence on the Universe's large-scale structure, and its effects in the cosmic microwave background.

The universe began of darkness, not of light.

While space is a virtual vacuum, it does not mean there is no sound in space. It exists in space as naturally occurring electromagnetic vibrations, many well within the range of human hearing while others exist at different regions of the electromagnetic spectrum and these can be adjusted with software to bring them within our audio range.

The recordings of these interactions in space come from several different environments including radio, ultraviolet, microwave and X-ray data and within these spectra a wide range of sources including interstellar plasma and molecules, radio galaxies, pulsars masers and quasars, charged particle interactions and emissions, radiation, exotic astrophysical objects, cosmic jets and flares from magnetars."

A very special release for UK Record Store Day: a previously unreleased Sun Ra solo piano improvisation recorded in June 1990 during an interview with presenter and DJ Jez Nelson at the studios of Jazz FM in London.

As Jez Nelson says in the sleeve notes: “At the end of our conversation I asked Sun Ra if he would play something for us on the beautiful Schimmel piano in the studio next door. He smiled the smile of an ancient spirit with a childlike joy and said he’d be delighted. Then he walked next door, sat down at the piano, said “Hello Mr Schimmel” and played”.

A portion of the proceeds will go to the Steve Reid Foundation, which aims to help people working in music who are in crisis, especially those suffering from illness.

This release is the third in a series of totally valve mastered recordings featuring Gearbox’s vintage Decca valve mixer in association with their Haeco Scully lathe with Westrex RA1700 series amps, Westrex 3DIIA cutting head, and Telefunken U73B tube limiter.

INFORMATION:

Miles Mitchell aka Mr. Mitch releases his second album ‘Devout’ in April. It’s about love, loyalty, family and the start and end of relationships, with an overarching theme about becoming a father, all delivered with warmth and emotion.

Miles even sings and so does his eldest son Milo on one track.

About the theme he says, “we all know the stereotype of the black dad with multiple children from multiple partners who is absent from the child’s life, we see it consistently in popular culture. I want to champion the alternative, which to me is just normal.”

TRACKLIST:

A: Intro (ft. Milo and Oscar) Priority (ft. P Money) Lost Touch (ft. Duval Timothy) B: Fate (ft. Denai Moore) If I Wanted VPN (ft. Palmistry) C: My Life Pleasure (ft. Py) Honor Oak D: Our Love Black Tide Oscar

As well as being a producer Miles is the co-founder of the Boxed nights, which have been a tight incubator of a music scene dedicated in the main to re-thinking and expanding what grime means, especially instrumental grime. Mitch has always taken it further than most in a unique direction, defining his music led by his own personality rather than deferring to a scene consensus. An early example was his development of ‘peace edits’ in response to the aggressive ‘war dubs’ craze amongst other grime producers, around the time of his first album.

Production-wise Mr. Mitch has always been a minimalist at heart, pushing detailed sound and melody around in space, but on Devout everything is more ambitious, emotive and polished, taking his music in an epic and well defined pop direction, albeit from a sideways angle, re-imagining what an album by an underground producer can be.

Devout’s cast of male and female allies, MC’s and singers each deliver songs that cast perspective around the album’s theme.

Mr. Mitch sets the scene with the graceful honesty of the piano led intro, then P Money drops a heartfelt and emotional lyric about the charge of love and responsibility experienced on becoming a dad. Denai Moore’s song ‘Fate’ is open about being sceptical in allowing yourself to fall for someone at the start of a relationship, while Palmistry’s track ‘VPN’ explores his feelings after separation. The warm centre of ‘Devout’ is ‘My Life’s heart-tugging Sakamoto-like melody and bent keys, with Miles gently intoning “It’s yours” and final song ‘Oscar’ tells a newborn his brother will be an elder brother. Devout is a beautiful, grown-up pop record with its foundation in grime.

Hayseed Dixie Records CD HDCD2017 5024545775020 $14.99 Hayseed Dixie began one day in 2000 when John Wheeler and Mike Daly drank roughly enough whiskey to float a battleship from the Florida Coast over to Portugal and back and decided to play around in John’s studio. Having spent the previous few years touring around with assorted country hat-acts, John had assembled a proper pile of recording equipment. Thus when he and Mike discovered in their drunken epiphany that the Lost Highway of Reverend Hank Williams and the Highway to Hell of Bishop Bon Scott were indeed the same identical stretch of tarmac, they were well and truly prepared to document this revelation in situ.

Now, 17 years and 14 albums later, with global physical sales in excess of half a million and over 1,200 live shows in 31 different countries under their belts, Hayseed Dixie are the undisputed creators of the musical genre, Rockgrass. There are many copycats, converts, and disciples out there. Accept no imitations.

SIXO

The Odds of Free Will FFINC064: SIXO - THE ODDS OF FREE WILL Scotty Trimble, the former professional motocross racer and indie rap producer better known as Sixo, is back with The Odds of Free Will, his third release on Fake Four Inc. The album was inspired by ‘60s and ‘70s psychedelic rock and Sixo’s own questioning of the philosophical underpinnings of free will.

Speaking on his last release, 2012's Free Floating Rationales, Okayplayer said, “the ideas here are uncharacteristically heavy for a compilation record of this nature, which comes as a refreshing surprise." That trend is continued on The Odds of Free Will, with help from indie rap heavy hitters such as Open Mike Eagle, Milo, Ceschi, Myka 9, Awol One, and Onry Ozzborn.

And while each guest brings something different to the table thematically, five eerie, nebulous instrumentals woven in between tie the album together.

In the downtime that comes with frequent motocross injury, Sixo taught himself to make beats, and over the course of the last decade and a half has grown into a singular producer equally capable of outright bangers and melodic headphone introspection. The Odds of Free Will, his third full-length album, channels loss, resilience, and the life of the mind into an engaging and ruminative listen

Northbound ‘The Flaws In Everything’

TRACKLISTING 1. Fade To Black 2. Suitor Type 3. Well Water 4. Lonely Squid 5. Tell Me Something Good

Out April 21, 2017 CD EP– ASR-062-2 UPC: 603111707020 SRP $5.99

ARTIST PROFILE: From its beginnings as an acous0c solo project in 2012, Boca Raton, Florida’s Northbound has evolved and grown into a hybrid en0ty of equal parts solo act and fully fleshed-out band. Jonathon Fraser, the crea0ve soul of Northbound, has a dis0nc0ve wri0ng style that is integral to the band’s cohesiveness amongst the evolu0on. With nothing but an acous0c guitar and his voice, he pours his energy into the lyrics and vocals. The rest of the band then joins him to flesh out the songs in the studio. This hybrid approach allows Fraser to seamlessly tailor each song to its individual story while staying firmly seated in the context of the whole.

Northbound’s lyrics dance around the human experience, and lend themselves extraordinarily well to the band’s brand of unkempt pop-punk. Fraser writes about existen0al uncertainty, self-awareness, and growing older with an emo0onal maturity that sets Northbound apart from the genre’s usual tropes.

AMer several impressively prolific years, releasing an EP or full length every year since 2012, Northbound has enlisted to help of Rick King (Hit The Lights, July) to ready their latest effort. The resul0ng five song EP, 0tled The Flaws in Everything, has a darker, more driving feel than 2015’s Death of a Slug. This is a move reinforced by enormous, guitar-led choruses and offset by a plethora of catchy vocal hooks. The EP is also the first release with crea0ve input from three other musicians: Cody Badgley on bass, John Looze on guitar, and Ma] Horner on drums. It also marks the first release in which Fraser and Looze did not perform everything themselves. Fraser’s openness to this type of collabora0on is undoubtedly part of what keeps Northbound fresh and ahead of the curve. At its most intense moments – third track Well Water, for example – The Flaws in Everything’s grit is sure to please fans of Ci0zen and Balance & Composure. When Northbound dives into their poppier side, like on Fade to Black and Tell Me Something Good, however, they easily compare to bands like The Star0ng Line, Into It. Over It, and Mo0on City Soundtrack. The balance between these two extremes is not only a ficng reflec0on of the band itself, but it’s also what makes Northbound a standout act and stands to push them through the sta0c and into the spotlight. .

PRESS/TOUR

- Album campaign launched with music video for Fade to Black with track premiere on Daniel P Carter Rock Show on Radio 1 -Previous coverage at Alternative Press, Rock Sound, Idobi Radio, Chorus.fm - Fade to Black added to Punk Unleashed and New Punk Tracks playlists at Spotify - UK/EU tour supporting State Champs and As It Is Feb 19 – Mar 18 SIMILAR ARTISTS: Modern Baseball, Citizen, Bayside, Into It.

“Fink’s Sunday Night Blues Club, Vol. 1” Street Date: 3/10/2017 RCPD013 | RCPDCD013

Fink’s Sunday Night Blues Club, Vol. 1 is the latest musical output from Fin Greenall, recorded at his studio in Berlin following 2014’s long player 'Hard Believer' and prior to embarking on the eagerly anticipated new Fink studio album (due for release in 2017). With each track being recorded fast, live, using one vintage mic, and one vintage amp, Fink and a host of guest musicians were intent on creating a modern blues record.

Fin, “My love of Blues has always been there, before I even knew what it was. Records by John Lee Hooker, T-Bone Walker and Chuck Berry really spoke to me. For two springs, in 2015 and 2016, I immersed myself in the blues, scouring record stores whilst on tour to inspire and educate myself… to do something raw, rough, and live, a record that just was, for its own sake. You'd think that writing blues was easy - but it isn't ... It's easy to copy, sure, and to cover, definitely, but to write original blues that is more than just a photocopy of the past actually turned out to be equally challenging and natural... ”.

Simone Schmidt, aka Fiver, is a Toronto-based musician working within the frame of traditional North American folk music. Her latest album Audible Songs From Rockwood is a series of eleven fictional field recordings, gathered from case files of patients at the Rockwood Asylum for the Criminally Insane between 1854-1881. The rigour of Schmidt’s writing process is shown through the work: Over the course of 2 years, Schmidt pored over the asylum’s primary documents - patient files, architectural diagrams, superintendents’ diaries - spinning her findings into historical fiction and, from there, into song. The voices on the record are crafty, witty, evasive, despondent, and lucid. Audible Songs of Rockwood shapes its subject matter as expertly as any old bluesman would, with wit, baseless optimism, sadness, and even joy. Using a strictly acoustic sonic pallet and working with some heavies in the Old Time folk tradition (John Showman, Max Heineman, Chris Coole, Kristine Schmidt) and odd ball instrumentalists (Cris Derksen, Alia O’brien of Blood Ceremony) the performances carry forward potent gateways to explore the tragedy and optimism that gives traditional roots music its soul, while also giving voice to voiceless people, living in the margins of History, out of sight and mind.

The album is accompanied by a book written by fictional ethnomusicologist, Simone Carver, written in the style of the liner notes of Smithsonian Folkways compilations. It includes lyrics and supplemental information about the historical context of the inmates and their songs along with original artwork by Darby Milbraith, Geneva Hailey, Jennifer Castle, Jeff Bierk and Julianna Neufeld.

The package carries questions about the archive as an apparatus of colonial power, definitions of sanity and criminality, and the early settler-colonial agenda foundational to those modes of thought still operating in today’s carceral system.

The Artist For almost a decade, Schmidt has been a cult figure in the Canadian underground, writing new life into and around the Folk, Country and Rock songs. Critically outspoken about politics, sharp, and largely evading the branding of the music industry proper by working under several aliases, Schmidt has several times been named one of Canada’s best songwriters. Anyone who has seen her perform remembers her distinctly either from her tenure as the front person and songwriter for celebrated country act One Hundred Dollars (200711) or psych rock unit The Highest Order (2011-ongoing), or from her psych folk solo work as Fiver (2012 - on). Schmidt has five LP’s to her writing credit, collaborations with artists as wide ranging as hardcore punk phenomenon Fucked Up, indie favourite Timber Timbre, to the inimitable USGirls, and Old Time and Bluegrass veteran Chris Coole. Schmidt has produced original works for film (World Famous Gopher Hole Museum, Land of Destiny) and appears as a guest vocalist a number of records, including Doug Paisley, Tasseomancy and Shotgun Jimmie.

Recent Press “By the end of her set, Simone Schmidt was apologizing, saying “I know I’ve said a lot of words,” and she thanked everyone in the audience for still being there. Seeing as how Schmidt is one of the best songwriters in the country, reducing her set to a simple word count was self-deprecating, to say the least.” - Michael Rancic, EXCLAIM! “Fiver is the solo project of Toronto-born and raised singer and songwriter Simone Schmidt, known for fronting The Highest Order and the acclaimed country outfit One Hundred Dollars. No matter which name she is performing under, two strengths of Schmidt’s that immediately arrest you are that voice – awesome and haunting, strong as oak but sanded with sublime vulnerability – and the palpable Dust Bowl-thick instrumental air that fleshes out the mood of every song. Each is so commanding that it’s a testament to her gifts for bleak, poetic firepower and sure-handed nuance that neither crumbles under the magnitude of the other.”- Justin Wesley, No Depression idée fixe records | 74 Wade Ave. | Toronto, ON | M6H 1P6 | 416.516.3968 | ideefixerecords.com | info@ideefixerecords.com

For their third album, “Synchromysticism,” the band has used these tools, as well as the drummer’s (a clinical psychologist) understanding of signal detection theory and delusional mood to convey complex phenomenological concepts in a highly visceral form. This album, the first with guitarist Christopher Trull (formerly of Grand Ulena), marks a new level of ambition in terms of conceptual complexity, synthesizing opposing compositional approaches into a distinctive style that simultaneously elicits feelings of euphoria, perplexity, dread... and an inexorable urge to dance.

"In all of my musical listening, I can think of few bands that have had the same baffling effect on me as Yowie. In terms of musicianship, composition, and style,Yowie are incredibly impressive." - Progsphere

“Extreme technical proficiency is taken to new places. There’s a slippery, rubbery quality to the sound and playing too. Though hyper-precise, there’s lots of swing to the drumming, lots of bent notes and sliding on guitar strings. When Yowie does fall into a groove - for about 6 seconds - it’s never in 4/4 time. It’s hard to believe these 3 people found each other to form this band.” - No-Core

"In the midst of some of the most virtuosically talented and respected musicians playing today, Yowie is singular... Watching them live is like witnessing a reptile birth a human; utterly perplexing, yet amazing.” - KDHX “As frenetic and intense as anything you'd hear from the likes of The Dillinger Escape Plan but without the vocals or as much distortion... could match any tech metal or grind band in a contest for intensity.” - Dont Count On It

“ To say that Yowie exists outside of genre understates the band's utter lack of convention. Yowie naturally, and somehow seamlessly, undermines classic notions of style or song structure.” - StL Mag "The climax of rock music. This is outsider music for our entire dimension. No band has had this sort of vision since Beefheart marinaded us with tales of Big Joan's anatomy. In the dozens of times I've listened to this album I've never heard the same album twice." - Loving Peter Cetera

Pianist and composer Ilya Beshevli returns to Village Green with three-track EP ‘Primary Source’, to be released on April 21st 2017.

‘Primary Source’ sees Ilya Beshevli continue along the musical path forged by previous albums ‘Wanderer’ and ‘Night Forest’, both also released on Village Green.

This time however, Beshevli’s melodic and emotive style is intensified by the Babelsberg Orchestra, conducted and orchestrated by fellow composer and label-mate Mat t Dunkley.

Opening track ‘Morning Sun’ is structured around repeating broken chords and a cascading piano melody, calling to mind the new dawn that the track’s title alludes to. ‘Tangled Thoughts’, meanwhile, offers a more pensive mood with swells of rising strings and an increasingly insistent piano motif. The EP closes with ‘Primary Source’ – a more subdued affair, exhibiting a development of the kind of tantalising melody Beshevli has become so proficient at creating.

The EP will be released on 12-inch vinyl and will also be available as a digital download.
