07 June 2009 | Danny Cohen's new record is out now & available at CDBaby... Our good friend Danny Cohen's new record, The Fleas Of 1,000 Dannys,
just came out on mp3. Anyone familiar with his past releases on Anti-
and Tzadik knows that the only thing to do is drop everything and get it now!
THE FLEAS OF 1000 DANNYS "A bluesy, visceral record with Cohen's trademark apocalyptic darkness
and rich arrangements. The themes and style are more cohesive that past
efforts, with succinct, memorable songs. The debut album he never had.
1,000 Dannys is DC's first true solo CD, as it only utilizes a drummer
and lap steel (on 4 tracks). 'Don't Leave Me' features the legendary
Charleston Grotto's Greg Cohen on arco bass solo, and 'Mt. Olympus'
features Grotto's Fidel on slide."
Standout tracks: Buttered my Bread, Northstate, Residue, Bottom of my Mind, Premature Burial, Hands of Time 09 May 2009 | Lots of news from Soundzfromnowhere
Our friend Victor over at Soundzfromnowhere has a lot of cool projects
going on right now. Three compilations are in the works (One, Two, andThree), including
the second installment of SFN000's "8ight" series with samples
created by Dave MH of The Starry Tides). Also, SFN000 just
released the second installment of the fantastic My Digital
Valentine shoegaze/dreampop compilation series, MDV Vol. 2!
Volume 2 is just as great as the first one, and includes dreamy
new music from 16 contributors, including Reverse
Engine's own Starry Tides (a collaboration with On Holiday and a remix
done for the mighty Bang Bang Shoot Shoot). Enjoy! 07 May 2009 | Ghost Society debut EP out tomorrow!
Our massively talented friend Tobias Wilner (who you may know from his
work with the amazing Blue Foundation, or Bichi) has a new project
called Ghost Society,
and they're having a record release show for their debut
EP tomorrow. They will be performing live with NoMoreHeroes, and
there will be DJ sets from both Thomas Morr (Morr Music) and Mew's
Jonas Bjerre, at CPH Rust. For full details, check the Dead Peoples Choice site. One
of the tracks from their EP is a certain Swirlies cover that will also
appear on the soon-to-be-long-awaited Sneaky Flute Moods netaudio
tribute. Or is it already
long-awaited? Much love to everyone who sent in music, and thank you in
advance to those of you who are chugging away at your contributions.
Hang in there, kids. We're closer than we've ever been...and now we're
even closer...and now we're even closer still...

rer006Ten Digit Army - Begin Today EP (2008)
1. So Damn Predictable 2. Epiphany 3. Begin Today 4. Calico
Las
Vegas-based home recording project Ten Digit Army is D.I.Y. to the
core. Songwriter and multi-instrumentalist TDA plays every sound you
hear--from vintage keyboards to reverbed guitars and overloaded drum machine beats. Ten
Digit Army's first release for RER is four catchy, soulful songs from a
far-off basement, a distant beacon from the desert. Many thanks
to Masayuki @ Music Forest and Roland @ Machtdose podcast for being early supporters and spreading the word about this EP.
