And for more Midnight Masses-mania, continue on after the jump!
(More...)For one week only starting today, March 8, Said the Gramophone is exclusively premiering Mushpot’s eleven-song compilation – Future Magic Volume 1 – as a free download. We’re giddy as can be to present a compilation that features exclusive and soon-to-be-released songs from: Emperor X, Family Portrait, Candy Claws, Capybara, Yawn, Magic Magic, Please Quiet Ourselves, Baby Birds Don’t Drink Milk, Arc in Round, Jumbling Towers and WAMPIRE. Today, Said the Gramophone was kind enough to write about WAMPIRE’s contribution “Magic Light” with intimate lyrics that sweetly linger like an early spring night. After this week, Future Magic Volume 1 will be available through this site and participating artists.
Remember, if you’re going to be down in Austin this year you are cordially invited to help us celebrate this new compilation at the official release party that’s taking place as part of the Anodyne, The Record Machine and Mushpot 2010 SXSW Day Party.
A million, billion thank yous to the most wonderful, gifted artists that contributed a track and made this compilation possible. We are totally smitten with y’all.
Spring is just 15 days away and we have the perfect album to celebrate slightly longer days, warmer weather, April showers and May flowers. A Weather’s sophomore album, Everyday Balloons was released on Team Love records March 2 and going for CMJ Radio 200 adds the week of March 8. Spinner has had the full album available for streaming and it has been receiving lots of compliments and admiration so far. Alternative Press called Everyday Balloons “intimate and atmospheric” and “breathy lullabies,” while The Portland Mercury’s End Hits blog raved that “ …the record is an absolute stunner, bound to be one of the finest albums you’ll hear all year.” If you’re still not feeling Springy enough, make sure to catch A Weather on tour in April. Take a look at the dates here. If you’re in Brooklyn or St. Louis, do be sure to find a Mushpot lady at either show and say “hello!”
