Slowmotions
Square Piggy / Round Holly
yk records
May 3rd, 2010
From a proper journalistic perspective it is probably best if I disclose that the new collection of b-sides from Slowmotions is being released by yours truly. So, I’m not exactly unbiased when I say that the Square Piggy / Round Holly is an excellent partner of sound to the full-length Quick Potions.
All opinions aside, I can say that the record isn’t intended to be a cohesive or conceptual listen from top to bottom but rather further documentation of all the songs and sounds.Tracks in the vein of electronic experimentation, heavy sampling and the occasional acoustic diddy are all present and accounted for.
Obviously, I love it or I wouldn’t associate myself with it but I’ll let you be the judge. It’s an entirely free download and is available immediately. So, please, go grab it.

Milktooth
Acoustic Sessions
Self-Released
May 1st, 2010
In honor of Milktooth’s first year as a band, we decided to return to the studio and record new versions of a few songs we’ve been playing over the past twelve months. The idea was to deconstruct the songs down to their cores and then play them together live in a totally different style than how they had been previously released, with the help of violinist Eleonore Denig. We ended up recording five songs in one day (two songs from the EP, two songs from the vinyl, and a cover of Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean”) and even captured HD video of the process.
You can preview one of those videos here:

The Acoustic Sessions were produced in Nashville by Tom Laune (R.E.M., Alex Chilton) and mastered in Montreal, QC by Harris Newman (Arcade Fire, Wolf Parade) and are now available as part of our “Halloween in Santa Ana / Acoustic Sessions” deluxe package. With this package, you’ll receive our brand new DVD (with over 90 minutes of footage from the past year), the Halloween in Santa Ana 7-inch vinyl, and the instant digital downloads of all eight recordings.
