Product Description: Formed in 1989, this release marks the band's 28th anniversary year, and is a sonic testament to their legacy as one of the earliest U.S. dark & doom metal bands still active today. Considered by the band to be their best work to date, Harmartia's mastery is due in part to the synergy of its lineup, who constituted their previous album Bled White: Paul Kuhr (founder/vocalist), Larry Roberts (guitars), Vito Marchese (guitars), Mike Feldman (bass), and Garry Naples (drums). Recorded at Belle City Sound in Racine, WI, this album sees production from long-time Novembers Doom producer Chris Djuricic (Jungle Rot, Malevolence), and Mix Master metal legend Dan Swano (Opeth, Dissection, Katatonia).

Product Description: Nashville is a lifer’s town and Lillie Mae is a true music lifer, singing and playing on stages across America since she was but three years old. Her much-anticipated debut album, FOREVER AND THEN SOME, sees the Music City-based singer/ songwriter/multi-instrumentalist weaving classic country, bluegrass, and blues with her own extraordinary experiences to create a breathtaking song cycle of romance and struggle, solitude and adventure. Penned and performed with uncommon spirit and invention, songs like “Wash Me Clean” and the plaintive first single, “Over The Hill and Through The Woods,” stand out as snapshots of intimacies, encounters, and moments that matter, reverberating with earnest emotion and restless creative energy. Produced by Jack White III at Third Man Studio in Nashville, with GRAMMY® Award-nominated engineer Joshua V. Smith behind the board, FOREVER AND THEN SOME marks the long-awaited arrival of Lillie Mae as a genuine and gifted singer/songwriter, a bright new star that’s actually been here all along.

LOVE & MURDER (Leslie Mendelson)

JUMP BACK TO TOP

Artist:
Leslie Mendelson

Genre:
Singer, Songwriter, Folk

Total Length:
39:36

Label:
The Royal Potato Family

Purchasing Links:
CD, MP3, iTunes


Product Description: Leslie Mendelson returns with Love & Murder the singer/songwriter's first new album in eight years. A stirring work instilled with emotional depth and poise, the effort is the long-awaited follow up to her Grammy Award-nominated debut, Swan Feathers. It is an apropos title, reflecting the dichotomy between the dark and light she encountered in those years between. Poised for stardom in 2009 with comparisons to Carole King and Rickie Lee Jones on the tip of tastemakers lips, fate as it often does, had other plans. Perhaps though this was to the benefit of her art. After losing a record and management deal and having her friend and producer Joel Dorn unexpectedly pass away, Mendelson recommitted to herself and slowly but surely penned the songs with her longtime co-writer Steve McEwan that would become Love & Murder. Produced by Mark Howard (Bob Dylan, Lucinda Williams), it's a sparse, raw collection of ten folk songs. Opening with Jericho, a haunting number that sets the tone for what is to come, it makes clear that Love & Murder lies more within darker spaces that artists like Sharon Van Etten, Lana Del Rey and Dusty Springfield inhabit. Songs like Murder Me, Coney Island, and Chasing the Thrill find Leslie exploring loss in ways that feel personal and metaphorical, where the stories within are multifaceted. She also recorded three covers for the album: the classic-country infused Cry, Cry Darlin, a take on Bob Dylan's classic Just Like a Woman, played on the ukulele, and a duet with The Grateful Deads Bob Weir on Roy Orbison s Blue Bayou. In fact, Mendelson was unwittingly adopted by the West Coast jam scene after Weir heard her take on Friend of the Devil and recruited her to perform with him. On Love & Murder, however, Leslie offers a different side that isn't been present in her early work or recent collaborations. This collection is just about the songs and my voice, she says. That's what people can connect with. It shows where I am right now as an artist and where I want to go.


TRACK LIST:

1. Jericho (4:13)

2. Coney Island (5:05)

3. Murder Me (4:28)

4. Chasing the Thrill (3:33)

The bulk of the pieces on the recording are inspired by the extraordinary visions of John, the writer of the Book of Revelation, describing the ravaging of the world through divine judgement, the battles between good and evil, and the world's eventual remaking as 'a new heaven and a new earth' in which death and suffering are no more. The disc features three new commissions, by Phillip Cooke, Toby Young and Marco Galvani, who was a final-year student at Queen's at the time of recording.
