The Builders and the Butchers - Western Medicine 

02 May, 2013

We are very pleased to present an epic album from The Builders and the Butchers!  On The Builders and the Butchers' record, Western Medicine, they set off to create an album that built layers around the already powerful electrified-folk sound they have honed over the years.  They spent nearly a full month in the studio with producer/engineer Dylan Magierek (STRFKR, Mark Kozelek, Lovers) to fully explore the dark and twisted terrain that became Western Medicine.  Influenced largely by the post-apocalyptic writing of Cormac McCarthy, the new album delves deep into epic sonic territory that The Builders had yet to venture.

“The Builders and the Butchers’ fifth album is largely influenced by the postapocalyptic literature of Cormac McCarthy, and it shows: Western Medicine is just as cheerless as The Road. But the Butchers have always been at their best when relating tales of a world gone aflame, and Medicine hardly deviates from the doom and gloom of the band’s past efforts. The slow-burning opener, “Blood Runs Cold,” and the banjo-burgeoning “Watching the World” squirm with the group’s signature brooding despair. Other tracks, such as “The Snow” and “Pennies in the Well,” carry the same weight amid a cannonade of western guitar and Morricone-style trumpet. Despite the dreariness, the commanding “Redemption Sound” and the honky-tonk closer, “Take Me Home,” offer stirring relief in a dirty, gospel-like fashion, more apt for the aging saloons of Stephen King’s Dark Tower novels than No Country for Old Men. Still, there’s a certain beauty in
darkness, and the Butchers play it well.” - Willamette Week

ORDER NOW ON CD for $12.99.

New Lisa Germano Album!

15 December, 2012

Lisa Germano - "No Elephants"

$11.99

We are excited to release a new album from seminal artist Lisa Germano. Lisa is known to a worldwide fan cult for a series of savagely honest and musically intrepid solo albums that commenced in the early '90s for the 4AD label, including the cynical debut Happiness in 1994 and the sexual-warfare-running-amok Geek the Girl, also from '94 (which was included in Spin's top 100 records of the 1990s). Also known as a multi-instrumentalist with such diverse artists as Eels, David Bowie, Crowded House, Philip Selway (Radiohead), Indigo Girls, John Mellencamp and Giant Sand. Like her other nine albums, no elephants is made like a book to read to the end. There is foreshadowing from melodies and ideas that weave the record's story together, and it takes time and imagination from the reader/listener. Few people these days take the time to make or listen to an album created as a whole piece, but no elephants is short and worthy of the attention paid. "Making a record any other way doesn't work for me," she says.

no elephants is AVAILABLE NOW!  Lisa will be touring the U.S. and Europe later this Spring.

{The song} “Holiday” may be hyperactive in their gyration and poise, “23 Seconds” is more scenester parklife contemplation that moves as slow as a Sunday afternoon. Their ethereal pop is as dreamy as it comes." - Zaptownmag.com
