Video: Railcars in Paris

Sweet video of Railcars on tour in Paris with Crystal Antlers!!!!

Fan Art.

Check out the awesome GRR fan art submission from Finland! I haven't rocked an Etch-A-Sketch in a long while. Unrelatedly, have you listened to the new album (Dissolver) by Iran? I'm completely digging the track "Buddy", which makes a good accompaniment to my other current fascination: "Black Rice" by Women.

Welcome to Seamonster!

In a few weeks, GRR will digitally release Seamonster's full-length album called "The Ascension of Archibald Balloonhead. This multi-talented artist created an album which is sprawling and poignant and downright enjoyable. We're excited to unleash it upon the masses.

Seamonster has another project coming out next month. "Robbert Bobbert and the Bubble Machine" is a kids album done in collaboration with Robert Schneider. He did all the design, a comic book, and a coloring book for the release. More details on that to follow once we have them.

So keep an eye out for tAoAB, and for some upcoming new music on GRR.

Bonnie Prince Billy Article.

An excellent article on Bonnie 'Prince' Billy recently appeared in The New Yorker. Unsurprising to those familiar with GRR, we found it exhilarating. A truly interesting and talented man.
