It’s been a while since our last post, and I’m pretty sure that is how all of our posts begin. The preorders for the Means Well cassette tape are now up and you really need to check this band out. Means Well features an ex member of Calormen, and if you have been following SELF AWARE, then you know that this band must be good. Imagine if Butterglory, Promise Ring and Weakerthans had a music baby.
Next up in the pipeline we have LPs by Totally Slow, Museum Mouth, and One Another. This is an uncharacteristically busy season for us but we couldn’t be more excited. First up will be the release of the Totally Slow LP. The Greensboro, NC band features ex members of Eagle Bravo, Rights Reserved and Decoration Ghost. The release was recorded by Kris Hilbert at Legitimate Business and sounds amazing. A nice little tidbit of info here is that some of the art was done by David Hayes, former owner of Very Small Records and Lookout Records. After that we will be helping Museum Mouth (Wilmington, NC) to release their third full length, “Alex I Am Nothing.” Both Totally Slow and Museum Mouth are expected to be October releases. After that leads us to One Another. The band is currently finishing recording and mixing/mastering will follow. We anticipated a fall release but it looks that it might be a winter one, but that’s ok with us. You can’t rush brilliance.
The last little bit of information is that we will be working with relatively new band, Viewfinder from Boone, NC. Their debut ep, “EPonymous,” really knocked our socks off and we couldn’t refuse working with them. If you dig Built To Spill, Sparklehorse and Dinosaur Jr., then this band is for you. Not sure on the timeline for the release yet, but we will keep you posted. Welcome Viewfinder to the family and tell them you love them.
