Railcars Video



Awesome new little video of Railcars performing "There is Ice; It is Blue" on They Shoot Music, Don't They. Really enjoy the stripped down nature of the song, and how Aria pulled it off; plus the camerawork/production is pretty great. Nice work all around. You can still buy the 7" (Cities vs Submarines) which contains the track before it sells out.

Seamonster Bonus EP



As we were putting together the Seamonster Two Birds EP, it became apparent that an accompanying bonus EP would be just the perfect thing to do. Luckily, an amazing group of artists (Meanest Man Contest, Visions of Trees, Bomarr, Roman Ruins, and Björn Kleinhenz) agreed to help us out. The end result is These Bones, which you receive for absolutely free after pre-ordering the 7" record. Here's one of the tracks, just because we're feeling generous on this beautiful Friday.

::: Seamonster - The Philosophy of Andy Warhol (Visions of Trees Remix)

Pre-order the 7" now and download both EP's instantly. That's 11 tracks and a vinyl record for only $5 plus shipping. Wow.

Seamonster "Oh Appalachia" Video



In anticipation of the upcoming release of Seamonster's Two Birds, the super talented director Chad Hartigan has created a video for the track "Oh Appalachia". Filmed on a beach in Southern California on grainy Super8 film, it helps bring to life the song's interplay of joy and melancholy.

Pre-order Two Birds before the March 2nd release date and you'll instantly be able to download the EP plus a bonus album of remixes (Meanest Man Contest, Bomarr, Visions of Trees, and Roman Ruins) , b-sides, and a cover by Björn Kleinhenz. That's $5 for 11 tracks and the beautiful vinyl 7-inch!

Kleinhenz update



Really enjoying this video for the Björn Kleinhenz track "At Night We Die" lately, just a cool piece of cinematography. Also ran across his lo-fi cover of a Death Cab For Cutie song via the Sacramento-based blog The Passing Static.

::: Björn Kleinhenz - Lightness (Death Cab For Cutie Cover)

We've got about 25 copies of his awesome 12" vinyl full-length LP titled B.U.R.M.A. left in stock. I suggest you get one of them.
