Dirty Beaches Premiere on Consequence of Sound

Posted on May 25, 2012 | Leave a comment

Consequence of Sound has premiered Dirty Beaches version of “Lone Runner” from the SOUNGS KOMPF online!  Here’s what they had to say:

“Recorded at Chicago’s Empty Bottle last September, this version stretches the original to even more brutal lengths, with eerie saxophone curls and a fire-in-the-pulpit, expletive-laden sermon from Hungtai.”

Check out the track here, or head over to the SOUNGS Bandcamp page to pre-order the compilation, out next week!

Daniel Francis Doyle Recording New Album

Posted on January 9, 2012 | Leave a comment

Our boy Daniel Francis Doyle has been spending some time recording with his new trio in Austin, TX with Adam Jones (from Yellow Fever/Deep Time) behind the boards.  They’re taking their time, but Daniel says things are going really well.

If you caught the group on tour last fall – where they played these new tunes alongside tight, funky, full-band versions of “There Are Two of You” and “Learning Things at School” (from his last full length, We Bet Our Money on You) – then you have an idea of how exciting this is!  Either way, check out this live version of their new song “When Did You Leave Home” from a June Violitionist session.

Arnold’s Park by Pterodactyl – Out Nov 1

Posted on October 24, 2011 | Leave a comment

Arnold’s Park – one of two European-only vinyl-only 2010 EPs by Pterodactyl – will be reissued by SOUNGS on November 1st.  All of the songs have been freshly remastered, and an outtake from the same time period (“For Nothing”) is included as a bonus track.  The album will be available for digital download and as a limited-edition cassette (with silk-screened artwork and a high-quality download code) from this site and on the band’s upcoming North American tour.

Arnold’s Park was originally released by Deleted Art in Sweden.  The EP explores the more psychedelic aspects of Pterodactyl’s sound, building expansive songs out of intimate soundscapes, or maybe it’s the other way around.  In many ways, Arnold’s Park is the perfect predecesor to the groups upcoming album Spills Out (out 11/15 on Jagjaguwar) – it also features artwork from Otecki as well as the original version of “Allergy Shots” (which appears in a remixed form on the new album).

Check out the titular track from Arnold’s Park:
