NEW TITLES

FROM ARTISTS OF NOTE

WHISKEY MYERS:

MUD

CD: UPC: 696859969607 ISBN: 9786316630032

MSRP: $12.98 Genre: COUNTRYStreet Date: 9/9/16

Reunited with acclaimed producer Dave Cobb and fueled by larger-than-life performances

honed tight from countless nights on the road, Mud fi nds Whiskey Myers scaling new heights of songwriting and musicianship, with searing

guitars, soulful vocals, and indelible hooks.

HOLLISTER, DAVE:

MANUSCRIPT

CD: UPC: 016351583321 ISBN: 9786316626790

MSRP: $18.98 Genre: SOULStreet Date: 9/9/16

The MANuscript, like his best-selling Ghetto

Hymns and Chicago ‘85:The Movie albums, is a thematic R&B meditation on the nature of men

and women, especially in romantic relationships. Produced by Walter Millsap III, the album delivers

Dave Hollister’s trademark sound on a set of songs that will resonate with long-time fans.




PREOCCUPATIONS:

PREOCCUPATIONS

CD: UPC: 656605229027 ISBN: 9786316618719

MSRP: $14.98 Genre: POP/ROCKStreet Date: 9/16/16

When the four members of Preoccupations wrote and recorded their new record, they

were in a state of near total instability. Opener “Anxiety” articulates that tension: clattering

sounds drift into focus, “Degraded” surprises, with something like a traditional structure

and an almost pop-leaning melody, and the 11-minute-long “Memory” as the album’s keystone, with an intimate narrative and a

truly timeless post-punk center. All this adds up to Preoccupations: a singular, bracing

collection that proves what’s punishing can also be soothing, everything can change

without disrupting your compass.

OLSEN, ANGEL:

MY WOMAN

CD: UPC: 656605228426 ISBN: 9786316606037


My Woman is an exhilarating complement to her past work, and one

for which Angel Olsen recalibrated her writing/recording approach and

methods to enter a new music-making phase. An intuitively smart, warmly

communicative and fearlessly generous record, My Woman speaks to everyone.

KISHI BASHI:

SONDERLUST

CD: UPC: 714270689963 ISBN: 9786316618726


Sonderlust emerged as a direct result of a personal struggle taking place at an artistic crossroads. With the

help of producer Chris Taylor (Grizzly Bear), engineer Pat Dillet (Angelique

Kidjo, David Byrne), and drummer Matt Chamberlain (Morrissey, Fiona

Apple, of Montreal), Kishi Bashi has created his most personal and

artistically adventurous work to date. “This album is straight from my soul. I questioned everything about what it

means to love and desire.”

DAWES:

WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE

CD: UPC: 857223004564 ISBN: 9786316645838


Of Dawes’ highly anticipated new album We’re All Gonna Die, Taylor Goldsmith

(guitar, vocals) explains, “Pretty much every song on this record explores a diffi cult

situation and tries to fi nd a way to fi nd the good in it, or at least remind yourself that it’s not always that big of a deal. After all, as scary as it is, we are all gonna die.” The

album was produced by Grammy nominated producer Blake Mills (Alabama Shakes) and includes backing vocals from Jim James of

My Morning Jacket, Mandy Moore, and Will Oldham among others.

without disrupting your compass.

MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE:

BL ACK PARADE/LIVING WITH

GHOSTS (2CD) (PA)

CD: UPC: 093624918561 ISBN: 9786316635907


The Black Parade/Living with Ghosts contains a reissue of My Chemical

Romance’s double-platinum, genre-defi ning album The Black Parade and features the band’s multiplatinum

hit “Welcome To The Black Parade.” The new edition also includes 11 previously unreleased demos and outtakes from

the original recording session with producer Rob Cavallo.

BEACH SLANG:

A LOUD BASH OF TEENAGE

FEELINGS

CD: UPC: 644110031921 ISBN: 9786316636218


Beach Slang return with their sophomore album A Loud Bash of Teenage Feelings. A Loud Bash is exactly what its title implies – a raucous collection of shout-along punk rock anthems anchored by

frontman James Alex’s trademark heart-on-sleeve lyricism.

MENZEL, IDINA:

IDINA

CD: UPC: 093624917823 ISBN: 9786316635846


The album, Idina, is about her: an aspirational & authentic album

about Idina’s life. The music is a refl ection of her story, lyrically about love and relationships as well as being on your own and

making your own path. It’s a very empowering body of work.

WARPAINT:

HEADS UP

CD: UPC: 883870078023 ISBN: 9786316636386


Of course, confounding expectations has been part of Warpaint’s m.o. since the band formed in 2004.

And so when the band convened to make their third studio album, Heads Up, they shared a common

goal: to make a faster, dance-oriented record. “We’ve always had this really jammy, high-energy live show

compared to some of our records,” vocalist/guitarist Emily Kokal says. “We all love to dance. We didn’t

want to take away from the emotion or the core feeling of what our band is all about - which I don’t

even think we could takeout if we wanted, because it is who we are - but we wanted to bump the speed up and have a little bit more fun.” Mission accomplished.
