PAWS - Owls Talons Clenching My Heart

Steve Sobs - Heavy Heart 
Release Date : 5/13/14

Following last year's bedroom pop gem "Pretty", Steve Sobs (aka Brooklyn's Eric Littmann) plunges into an uncharted forest and emerges with  "Heavy Heart", a string of ten effortless and quietly inviting new tracks."You're in your hometown checking your old hangs, your old ideas" Littmann sings on one such tune. This is nostalgia but a breed that always reaches upward. These are your hardwood floors , the portraits on your mantle. "Heavy Heart" finds a corner in your home and stays there.

Steve Sobs - Ugh

Bones Without You

Lost Boy ? - Wasted

you've expressed explicitly your contempt for matrimony
you've student loans to pay and will not risk the alimony
we spend our days locked in a room content inside a bubble
and in the night time we go out and scour the streets for trouble
hey hey marry me archie
during the summer take me sailing out on the atlantic
i won't set my sights on other seas there is no need to panic
so honey take me by the hand and we can sign some papers
forget the invitations floral arrangements and breadmakers
too late to go out too young to stay in
they're talking about us living in sin
hey hey marry me archie
a-r-c-h-i-e hey

Vocalist par excellence John Grant joins Hercules & Love Affair for their new single 'I Try To Talk To You' - taken from the forthcoming album 'The Feast Of The Broken Heart' released on the 26th May.

The first vocal collaboration of the new album's recording sessions, John's sexy tomcat voice and lyrical ability for translating hardship into elegance lent themselves greatly to the new album. 

Andy Butler explains: "I asked John to dig deep with his lyrical contribution. I had no idea he would dig so deep. He tackled the story of becoming HIV positive, and while I mentioned to him that he did not need to go there if he was not comfortable, in that beautifully punky, spirited and courageous way he has about him, he told me that was what the song was going to be about. What came of it is an elegant song featuring John singing and playing his heart out.”

'I Try To Talk To You' will be released with remixes on the 9th June.

Swan Lake - A Hand At Dusk off 'Enemy Mine' [originally released 03/24/09]



Get the album via -
SC Distribution: bit.ly/enemymine_scd
iTunes: bit.ly/enemymine_itunes
Amazon: bit.ly/enemymine_amazon

More info on the band: www.jagjaguwar.com/artist.php?name=swanlake

Swan Lake is the musical group featuring celebrated songwriter-mystics Daniel Bejar (of Destroyer and New Pornographers), Spencer Krug (of Sunset Rubdown and Wolf Parade) and Carey Mercer (of Frog Eyes and Blackout Beach).

Together they recorded Enemy Mine, their nine-song second album, in Victoria, British Columbia, in early 2008, a little more than a year after the release of their well-received debut collaboration, Beast Moans, also on Jagjaguwar.

While their debut album was a beautifully-weaved mash-up of their disparate song-writing styles, often with layer upon layer of various melodies and stylistics thrown into a collaborative cauldron to magical, and at times discordant effect, their second album Enemy Mine reflects a more stripped-down, more deliberate approach to collaboration. It's as if they really tried to just make nice songs together. To quote Krug, "There's architecture here." Not that the lyric is about collaboration--it fits nicely though.

It is the band's contention that this is the first known use of a "court painting" as a record cover used in popular music. As a result of this enthusiasm, the band had planned on calling the album Before the Law, a beloved Kafka parable and a reference to this court painting. However, the band is tired of being tagged as "literary", so they dubbed the record Enemy Mine, a beloved movie from Bejar's youth, and a good metaphor for collaboration.
