Rumspringa
ITEM # TRR1972 PRICE CODE S FILE UNDER ALTERNATIVE UPC CODE 656605319728 Price $12.99 RELEASE DATE 8/16/2011 FORMAT COMPACT DISC
Track Listing:
Last fall we received a demo from our friends in Danish experimental pop group, Efterklang. It was presented humbly as an album that a touring member of their band had been working on for the past few years. The three songs they sent were the beginnings of Rumspringa, the 11-song orchestral pop marvel from American singer-songwriter Daniel James aka Canon Blue. Though technically residing in Nashville, TN, Daniel James has spent the majority of the past three years touring the world with Efterklang while simultaneously writing and recording Rumspringa in their Copenhagen studio. He then headed to Iceland to record orchestral arrangements with renowned string quartet Amiina (most famously recognized as Sigur Rs string section). The result is a breathtakingly gorgeous mix of orchestral pop and neoclassical minimalism that blends the soulful intimacy of Jeff Buckley and the playful whimsy of Sufjan Stevens with the stately meditation of Steve Reich and Philip Glass. Canon Blues auspicious beginnings are rooted in the 2007 debut album, Colonies, a bedroom electronic folk collaboration with Grizzly Bears Chris Taylor. Rumspringa ironically finds Daniel James coming into his own by employing nearly 20 musicians to translate his expansive vision. The reserved, introverted abstraction of Colonies has given way to the eclectic Points: Rumspringa, and in the process has magnified the Sales glee of

LUKE TEMPLE
ITEM # WV0602 PRICE CODE S FILE UNDER ALTERNATIVE
Track Listing:
Before the success of his group Here We Go Magic, Luke Temple worked full-time as a plasterer. At nights after work, he spent his hours crafting what would become Here We Go Magic's self-titled debut. During the days he wrote a completely different set of songs in his head. The resulting record Don't Act Like You Don't Care shines with clarity and daylight, in contrast to Here We Go Magic's hazy aquatic debut. Unlike the Here We Go Magic record, Don't Act Like You Don't Care focuses on Temple's songwriting and evocative tenor. From heartbreaking ballads like "So Long, So Long" and "Ballad for Dick George" to jaunty pop gems like "Ophelia" and "In The Open" you'll become fast friends with these songs that continue to satisfy after hundreds of listens. Inspired by Rudy Vangelder's early Blue Note recordings, Temple and friends recorded the songs in two 4-hour sessions using just three microphones and a 4-track recorder. Temple is fortunate to have some amazingly talented friends with Eliot Krimsky (Glass Ghost) on synths, Tyler Wood on piano, Parker Kindred (Antony and the Johnsons, Jeff Buckley) on drums, Michael Bloch (Here We Go Magic) on guitar, and Adam Chilenski on bass.release this spring.

1. Best Night 2. Brothers 3. I Was There 4. Your Love Is Calling My Name 5. The Animator 6. Come To The City 7. Come For It 8. It's Your Destiny 9. City Reprise #12 10. Baby Missiles 11. Original Slave 12. Black Water Falls
Slave Ambient features a team of Philadelphias finest musicians, including multiinstrumentalists Dave Hartley and Robbie Bennett, and drummer Mike Zanghi. Recorded throughout the last four years at Granduciels home studio in Philly, Jeff Zieglers Uniform Recording and Echo Mountain in Asheville, NC, the album puts the weirdest influences in just the right places. Synthesizers fall where you might expect more electric guitars (and vice versa); country-rock sidles up to the warped extravagance of 80s pop. Instant classic Baby Missiles is part Spingsteen fever dream, part motorik anthem. Original Slave might sound like a hillbilly power drone, but City Reprise #12 suggests Phil Collins un-retiring to back Harmonia. I Was There is Harvest rebuilt by some selection of psychedelic all-stars, while the shuffling, sleepy opener Best Night offers a band with too many ideas to be in a hurry. During the mid-album centerpiece Come to the City, Granduciel howls and moans, All roads lead to me/ Ive been moving/ Ive been drifting. Indeed, however unlikely that might seem, all these sounds arrive cohesively in one unmistakable place. Every song on Slave Ambient is instantly identifiable and infinitely intricate, a latticework of ideas and energies building into mile-high rock anthems. Sales Points: - Highly anticipated full-length follow up to critically adored 2008 album, Wagonwheel Blues

YOB
Atma
ITEM # PFL083 PRICE CODE VL FILE UNDER HEAVY METAL UPC CODE 616892167662 Price $9.49 LABEL PROFOUND LORE RELEASE DATE 8/9/2011 FORMAT COMPACT DISC
Track Listing:
When YOB announced their comeback in 2008, the timing for them couldnt have been more fitting since doom metal was on the rise and YOBs status within the doom metal scene had already reached legendary levels. So when 2009s The Great Cessation was released the demand for Americas top doom metal band was more than ever and in turn, The Great Cessation was acclaimed worldwide as pretty much the best doom metal album to be released in 2009 and the demand for YOB would continue to grow, culminating in The New York Times claiming YOB as one of the best bands in America today. With their latest release, entitled ATMA, YOB have created their most dynamic, varied, and progressive album to date. While still following in the tradition and pattern of their previous releases by manifesting long, epic, and extremely heavy and crushing doom metal monuments unparalleled, ATMA (which features a guest appearance by Scott Kelly of NEUROSIS) sees YOB (led by doom metal master Mike Scheidt) explore new musical ground while at the same time, on a lyrical and thematic level, explore new spiritual ground too as ATMA serves itself as the most personal YOB album to date. Where the darkness of The Great Cessation crawled its way through with a vengeance, ATMAs more uplifting and dynamic aura serves as the aftermath of The Great Cessation as a new triumph, victory, and milestone for the band. With YOB looking to hit the road intensely for ATMA in which they will undergo their most intense touring undertaking to date (both in the U.S. and in Europe in the summer and fall respectively), YOB will easily be one of the most talked about bands in heavy music this year.
1. Prepare The Ground 2. Atma 3. Before We Dreamed Of Two 4. Upon The Sight Of The Other Shore 5. Adrift In The Ocean
Sales Points:
- ATMA is one of 2011s most anticipated albums in heavy music - The Great Cessation solidified YOBs place at the top of the throne of Americas doom metal scene and with ATMA, YOB will once again prove why they are one of Americas most important metal exports today.
