Press Reviews:

"Move over, Jamie Foxx. The Soloist's insanely genius Juilliard apprentice is up against some formidable competition, and she's female. Her raging, fast forward in real time Beethoven's Guitar Shred is like nothing that has come before. A classical/metal lovers everywhere wakeup call, these mini-musicals for guitar, violin and machete could very well blow your mind." - Prairie Miller, NewsBlaze

"The Great Kat, who you may know as one of the fastest, fiercest heavy metal guitar shredders in the universe. She plays Beethoven's symphonies the way he always intended: incredibly fast and covered in blood." – Late Night With Jimmy Fallon Blog

SIDECHAINS 2 New Remixes & Summer mixtape

First one is a revision of the 90's classic "Blue Pearl-Naked in the Rain" for Big Life Recordings. It has the 90's feeling and sound but with some new elements.

Second one is the "Booty Luv - Shine" Rmx for Ministry of Sound. It's has a French vibe with a beautiful arpeggio, that gives a different point of view to this mainstream single.

Also check out the Sidechains Summer Classics mixtape for Palms Out Sounds. A collection of Summer Classics of House, Techno, Bootlegs, Breaks, 90's...

Release News

TELEKINESIS 'Telekinesis!' - 10th August (Morr Music)
http://www.myspace.com/telekinesismusic
Perfect timing this one what with the sunshine... this is the self-titled debut album from new Seattle band Telekinesis! Produced/mixed by Death Cab For Cutie guitarist Chris Walla, it's a real summery power pop record, recalling of course Death Cab, with a little bit Brendan Benson, a little bit Pavement. Quite simply a record of engaging and charming top-notch songwriting that goes to show simplicity really is the key. The band were one of the talked about acts at this year's SXSW (indeed Spin magazine included in their top 10 Ones to Watch http://www.spin.com/articles/sxsw-09-pick-telekinesis) and already causing a real stir across the water;

"With fuzzed-out guitars, hyperactive rhythms and sun-kissed vocals masking a serious melancholic streak, Telekinesis is classic ’70s-style power-pop, as played by a child of modern indie-rock. Infectious tracks that owe as much to Sloan and Teenage Fanclub as they do Big Star and The Raspberries" ROLLING STONE

MÚM 'Sing Along To Songs You Don't Know' - 24th August (Morr Music)
http://www.myspace.com/mumtheband
Two years after the release of their last album, eccentric pop maestros Múm are set to return with their fifth album proper, simply named ‘Sing Along To Songs You Don't Know’. It’s more laid back than the band's most recent outings, more relaxed and quietly sad, often recalling sand running through fingers or ripples on a lake, but as usual, the songs are brimming with unusual sounds; this time many revolve around a lightly prepared piano, hammered dulcimer, a string quartet, marimbas, guitars, ukuleles and, in the background if you listen closely, you’ll be able to hear Örvar's parent's parakeet singing with the piano! A really beautifuil listen, and overall pretty positive sounding despite being hatched during Iceland's recent political turmoils...

Oh and the band are also about to hit the UK for a bunch special preview shows in July/August...

Will Dailey

Will Dailey is digitally releasing EPs every three months, all thematic collections of songs he’s recently written. The first, Fashion Of Distraction, was largely written under the influence of the sounds of the '60s and early '70s, particularly The Byrds, so it's fitting that Roger McGuinn guests as a guitarist/vocalist on "Peace of Mind," a song whose lyrics are very much rooted in 21st century topical concerns and timeless emotional introspection. The second EP, By the Blue Hills, is a collection of songs saluting Boston and Will’s musical family there, featuring cameos from Boston luminaries and Dailey friends Kay Hanley (Letters to Cleo), Tanya Donelly (Belly, Throwing Muses), Elliott Easton (The Cars), Tim Brennan (Dropkick Murphys) and local fixtures Duke Levine and Sean Staples. These two EPs are now being paired as a physical album, Torrent, Volumes 1 & 2, complete with bonus tracks and presented in CODE, a high-resolution audio standard pioneered by T Bone Burnett.

Chet to Release fourth LP "Chelsea Silver, Please Come Home" Out September 15th

Chet to Release fourth LP "Chelsea Silver, Please Come Home" Out September 15th On Absolutely Kosher Records/Band to Tour this Fall “Chet delivered a dreamy pastiche of pop, country, and blue-eyed soul, all sung by a man seemingly channelling the ghost of Edith Piaf. …It’s clear that Beattie’s time with Frog Eyes has changed his style. Indeed, he has turned his voice into a wild, unpredictable instrument capable of both lump-in-the-throat-inducing gorgeousness and disorienting oddity.” -- Straight.com “Benignant with the lonesome grace of Ryan Beattie's wavering falsetto, the waltz of each lingering instrument glided somniferous between spacial voids and rustling time signatures. With its downhearted will and pristine glare, Chet fostered the melancholy of an on setting island winter, after summer tourism had met its demise.”-- Noripcord.com “This is a songwriter with a stunning capacity to elaborate on his surroundings, seeing situations that may be glanced over by others as rare moments of beauty.
