Katie Costello Announces New Album, Lamplight!

By drainu182 , Tags :

Upon first listen, Katie Costello’s incredible upcoming release Lamplight (Tiny Tiny Records, February 22) is all soulful melody and tapping feet. Exceptionally sultry and soaring vocals weave their way into currents of piano, each tune brimming over with a sound you might expect from times past – but don’t get us wrong, everything about Katie Costello is oh-so-today and immediately exciting. On second listen the lyrics start to jump out at you, swishing swiftly through your ear drums, into your brain and flowing through your blood until they plant themselves firmly into your heart. Upon third and fourth and fifth listen, the record comes together in the same way every great album does, in the moments when you find yourself on an empty street, iPod blasting as you dance recklessly along in the rain doing bell kicks over puddles, happily sheltered under a big black umbrella or when you find yourself on the subway, alone, singing along, out loud.

At the young age of fifteen Katie began to pursue her passion for melody and started work on her debut. She self-released Kaleidoscope Machine at just seventeen to critical acclaim and found immediate champions in the likes of KCRW’s Nic Harcourt who added her songs to regular rotation and music licensors who loved her original sound and old-timey vibe and snagged her tracks for shows like 90210, One Tree Hill and Private Practice. A Christmas baby, she celebrated the holidays that same year with her family and the day after her eighteenth birthday left her Los Angeles home for good and travelled solo to New York City where the young songstress set up shop and began to weave the magic that is Lamplight.

Often compared to A Fine Frenzy, Adele, Regina Spektor and Sixpence’s Leigh Nash, Katie is breaking every mold and proving herself to be a leader for the next generation of songwriters and a serious triple threat – incredibly talented, absolutely stunning, and smart as a whip. A dangerously thrilling combo indeed!

Track listing for Lamplight:

1. Cassette Tape

2. Ashes Ashes

3. After Dark

4. No Shelter

5. Despite Times

6. Out Of Our Minds

7. Fading Lately

8. Dig A Hole

9. Old Owl

10. People: A Theory

11. The Weirds

12. Stranger

Esteban To Release Debut Album January 3rd 2011

By drainu182 , Tags :

Dirty Wrecked is the debut album by Esteban. A collection of 13 songs drenched in addictive pop hooks, Latin and African beats and rock guitars celebrates a lifestyle of music, art, brotherhood, parties and touring. The groove is infectious, the sweeping melodies and soaring harmonies irresistible.

Early supporters include Alex Lester at BBC R2 and Tom Robinson at BBC 6 Music. Total Guitar, recognizing guitarist Liam’s unique fingerpicking style, featured Esteban as ‘Ones To Watch’. The band’s music is featured in the forthcoming Hollywood political comedy Below The Beltway.

With touring firmly in their blood, Esteban have appeared alongside Dizzee Rascal, The Zutons, Friendly Fires, The Cuban Brothers, Gomez and the Young Knives. With festival appearances and sell out club dates, Esteban have earned their reputation as an amazing, exciting live act. It is on the road live where you will be captivated by Esteban’s search for “the last party on the last beach… out there… somewhere…”

The four friends all come from Burton-On-Trent, a small town in the East Midlands. While backpacking in Bali they got caught up in the terrorist attacks of 2002, decided that life’s too short… and formed a band. Esteban started gigging locally, things grew and in 2010 they played 200 shows. Going on holiday to Miami, singer Steve recalls that it was great being able to put down “musician” as his profession on the landing card.

Esteban are true artists. Dirty Wrecked is an amazing collection of songs. The road trip continues.

“There’s no one else like them out there.”
Tom Robinson, 6Music

Teletextile To Release The Reflector EP, Release Party 11/20 Pianos NYC

By drainu182 , Tags : , , , ,

Brooklyn, NY avante pop band Teletextile proudly announces the release of their new EP Reflector. As a preview they’ve made the tracks “What If I” and “I Don’t Know How To Act Here” available for download at teletextile.com. To celebrate the release the band will perform live at Pianos November 20th, a night hosted by Stark Online. Also performing are Motel Motel, Dinosaur Feathers and Cat Martino and Roadside Graves.

Free at www.teletextile.com
“What if I” MP3
“I Don’t Know How To Act Here” MP3

Teletextile is the creation of multi-instrumentalist (Harp, Piano, Violin, Guitar) and vocalist Pamela Martinez. A follow up to a previous release Care Package, the Reflector EP was recorded with her primary band members Caitlin Gray (Bass, Guitar, Vocals) and Luke Scheiders (Drums, Bells), as well as friends Brian Hamilton (Cymbals Eat Guitars), Aynsley Powel (Tigercity, St. Vincent), Elliot Krimsky (Glass Ghost), and Dave Sheinkopf (The Subjects). Producer Al Carlson (Games, Oneohtrix Point Never, St. Vincent) helped work the boards as they recorded through most of the first half of 2010. The dreamy soundscapes alternate between delicate plucking of the harp strings to a adorned voluptuous sound, all making the bed for Martinez’ boundless vocals.

A San Antonio, TX native, Martinez began her love affair with the musical arts at a young age. Family sing alongs alternated between her mother and grandmother’s love of Ettta James, and her father’s affection for George Harrison. When her punk rock aunt would baby sit, the two would watch The Labyrinth and Hairspray on repeat, fostering her affection for the stranger more festooned side of life, art, and music. After attending University in Boston, in 2007 she moved to New York where she worked with the group So Percussion. Through that experience she met the likes of Matmos, Paul Lansky, Tristen Perich, Zeena Parkins, Lesley Flanigan and others. All composers that used both electronics and acoustic instruments in their music, the relationships she formed in those early days in the city remain an influence in the present.

Reflector represents the latest step in Teletextile’s unfolding journey towards self-discovery, and the listener is encouraged to come along for the ride. Martinez’ sites one of her main motivations of creating and playing music as finding a way to replicate the experience of dreaming. “You should want to close your eyes when listening to music,” she says, “it should be your own story, your own vision.”

New T.I. Album “No Mercy” Out December 7th, New “Get Back Up” Video (feat. Chris Brown)

By drainu182 , Tags : ,

Grand Hustle/Atlantic recording artist T.I. has announced the release of his hugely anticipated new album, “NO MERCY.” The Grammy Award-winning rapper’s first new collection since 2008’s 2x-RIAA platinum certified “PAPER TRAIL” arrives in stores and at all online retailers on December 7th. “NO MERCY,” T.I.’s seventh studio album, sees guest appearances from Kanye West, Eminem, Chris Brown, The-Dream, and Christina Aguilera with production from top producers including, Dr. Luke (“Magic,” “Right Round”), Danja (“My Love,” “Knock You Down”) and Jim Jonsin (“Whatever You Like,” “Lollipop”.) What’s more, “NO MERCY” is already being ushered by the new single, “Get Back Up (feat. Chris Brown).” The companion video, shot last month in Atlanta, world premieres tonight on BET’s 106th & Park, with a sneak peek during MTV’s The Seven, as well as T.I.’s official website, www.trapmuzik.com.

T.I. spent the past summer gracing the covers of numerous major national publications, including cover stories in XXL, Complex, Respect, YRB, Jet and Upscale, where the rapper was featured on two separate covers. The Atlanta-native also received his fair share of camera time with appearances on Today Show, Larry King Live, The Mo’Nique Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The Wendy Williams Show and E!’s Chelsea Lately.

Long an active online presence, T.I. recently re-launched his massively popular www.trapmuzik.com website on the Cisco Eos platform. The rapper’s new official site includes a wide range of exclusive content as well as community forums where fans can discuss T.I. and upload their own unique videos and photos. T.I. has also established himself as a prominent figure online as well, with over 6 million Facebook friends – located at www.facebook.com/TI.

In addition to his own music, T.I. was featured on several summer smash singles – Diddy-Dirty Money’s “Hello, Good Morning (Feat. T.I.),” Jamie Foxx’s “Winner (Feat. Justin Timberlake & T.I.)” and Rebel Rock Entertainment/Grand Hustle/Atlantic recording artist B.o.B’s “Bet I (Feat. T.I. & Playboy Tre).” The latter track – surely one of the highlights of B.o.B’s #1 blockbuster debut album, “B.o.B PRESENTS: THE ADVENTURES OF BOBBY RAY” –catapulted onto Billboard’s “Hot 100,” as well as the “R&B/Hip-Hop Songs” and “Digital Songs” charts.

As if all this weren’t enough, T.I. took to the big screen this summer in Screen Gems/Grand Hustle Films’ Takers, which debuted at number one at the box office. The high-octane action thriller – the first to be produced under the Grand Hustle Films banner – saw the multi-talented performer joining a star-studded ensemble cast that includes Matt Dillon, Paul Walker, Idris Elba, Hayden Christensen, Michael Ealy, Chris Brown, and Zoe Saldana.

Added to these endeavors is his hugely popular clothing line Akoo, featured in stores everywhere as well as online at www.akooclothingbrand.com.

Tiny Engines To Release Annabel 7″

By drainu182 , Tags : ,

Tiny Engines is pleased to announce that it will release Here We Are Tomorrow, the newest 7″ EP from Kent, Ohio’s Annabel.

Slated for an “official” release of December 14th (actual release = whenever copies of the record show up on my doorstep), the EP is now available for pre-order from the label.

Produced, recorded and mixed by Annabel front man Ben Hendricks and mastered by Tim Gerak (of Six Parts Seven), Here We Are Tomorrow contains four brand new songs – plus a 5th bonus digital-only track – and will be pressed on blue (300) and maroon (200) vinyl. Packaging will feature printed polybags, hand-screened / numbered inserts and each copy of the 7″ will come with a free mp3 download code. To secure one for yourself, go here.

Annabel is currently streaming the first track from the 7-inch, “The Forgetting Of Names And Faces,” on its myspace page. The song is also available for download as part of Punknews.org’s recent The Fest 9: A Free Compilation (Volume 1).

Ratcheting up the the immediacy quotient tenfold and tapping into an even more aggressive, urgent punk spirit, Annabel’s newest five-song offering provides a seemingly endless supply of exclamation point moments. Here We Are Tomorrow is a potent mix of the band’s most sweetly innate qualities, as well as the formidable talents it has developed along the way: engrossing melodies, a kinetic pulse and an underlying warmth and honesty that simply can’t be faked. It’s clear that the Annabel has blossomed into a singular songwriting force and fully intends on making a definitive statement with this magnetic EP … and that statement resonates longer and more emphatically than ever before.
