The original version of the track was recorded in Marfa, TX, before the band commenced official tracking for 'Shields' in Cape Cod and New York, and was released earlier this month on 'Shields Expanded' and 'Shields B-Sides.' The collections build on their acclaimed 2012 iTunes Album of the Year with exclusive b-sides, demos, and remixes.

'Shields' was released to some of 2012's best reviews, with Pitchfork calling it "magnificently epic" and the NY Times hailing it as "enthralling." The band performed tracks from the album on Colbert, Fallon, Letterman, Leno, Austin City Limits, and Ellen, and played their biggest headlining and international festival shows to date.

Come on pack your bags,
Let's leave 'em at the station
What did your guru say?
'There's only one moment to be living in'
This is how the story of you and I begins
And it's not so farfetched...

If we surrender control,
Will we find out where we're going?
You ask about my history,
But what am I a memory?
She says I'm science fiction,
I say she's fantasy and it's not so farfetched

Only one moment to be living in...
Life moves so fast...

“What stands out are the gorgeous little touches—like the calypso-tinted guitars in the lite-and-breezy “Not So Farfetched” and the molasses-dipped harmonies in the wonderful country comedown “Plot Thick It Grows” ... If this were 1973, back when singer-songwriters ruled the earth, Coe wouldn’t have much time for side pursuits...he’d be busy cashing gold-record royalty cheques and house-hunting in Laurel Canyon. If that sounds hyperbolic, it shouldn’t, because By the Mountain’s Feet, is really that good”

"What Colour Are You?" (Official CD Mix)

FACE DOWN

I won’t walk leaving unread traces ...

I want to build simple things and give back to the sun,
Love
To push and polish and adjust this thing I’ve done,
Love

A walk for you

Walking through a swampy maze until the meaning comes,
Love
Waiting and coughing and dying until it comes

A walk for you

I don’t want it all, not at all
Just a twin heart for a start
And a little sense of worth

I won’t walk leaving unread traces ...

I won’t walk with Face Down

A walk for you


Face Down

COURAGE

When there is loss in death in health
We lose together to a passing bell
Courage

It could be full to live a shameless life
These days of heaven end with one long night

You’d think – 
A curious community won’t let us down
Fearless community won’t let us down
Colourful community won’t let us down
A limitless community won’t let us down

We cry so hard the dead have felt us
They smell trouble but they can’t help us
Stack some love in the way of your trouble
A keeper is a lover that will help you recover

And change may come to you from undue places
Pulling at you in wicked ways
But you’ll stack some love in the way of your trouble
A keeper is a lover that will help you recover

I can’t be certain of what waits in the dark
A path to nothing or an infinite spark

It seems ready answers come with compromise
The heart’s afraid while the mind; it lies

You’d think – 
A curious community won’t let us down
Fearless community won’t let us down
Colourful community won’t let us down
A limitless community won’t let us down

We cry so hard the dead have felt us
They smell trouble but they can’t help us
Stack some love in the way of your trouble
A keeper is a lover that will help you recover

And change may come to you from undue places
Pulling at you in wicked ways
But you’ll stack some love in the way of your trouble
A keeper is a lover that will help you recover

When there is loss in death, in health
We come together to a passing bell
Courage

Jose James - Trouble (Funk LeBlanc Remix)

Founded by Trinidadian-Canadian songwriter Drew Gonsalves, Kobo Town is named after the historic neighborhood in Port-of-Spain where calypso was born. Kobo Town takes the intricate wordplay of classic Caribbean music and runs it through a 21st Century filter. In the world of Kobo Town calypso, roots reggae, and acoustic instrumentation meet innovative production techniques, social commentary and indie rock attitude.
 
Kobo Town’s second album Jumbie in the Jukebox will be released in early 2013 by Stonetree and Cumbancha. The new album was produced Ivan Duran, whose masterful work on the now classic Wátina from Andy Palacio & the Garifuna Collective earned a 2007 WOMEX Award and was selected by Amazon.com as “The Greatest World Music Album of All Time.”
 
The result of the collaboration between Kobo Town and Ivan Duran is a striking recording that reflects their mutual commitment to revive the folkloric music of the West Indies by taking it in new creative directions.

"Straight To Hell" Danny Michel (Written by Joe Strummer / The Clash)

Vieux Farka Touré's beautiful latest album was recorded as an homage to his homeland. Being that his native Mali has been splintered by territorial fighting between Tuareg and Islamic rebels since January 2012, his new album, Mon Pays, is devoted to reminding the world about the beauty and culture of his homeland.

‘For me it is a statement for the world that this land is for the sons and daughters of Mali, not for Al Qaeda or any militants. This land is for peace and beauty, rich culture and tolerance.This is our heritage, what we must always fight to protect in any way that we can. For me, that means making music that reminds the world of who we are.’

Translating as ‘My Nation,’ this predominantly acoustic undertaking had been planned before the invasions began. Inspired by his work with Israeli pianist and vocalist Idan Raichel, Touré initially went into a Bamako studio to honor the acoustic blues tradition of Northern and Southern Mali. Since that time, Mon Pays transformed into an artifact of cultural preservation.

Two songs on the project -Future’ and ‘Peace’ feature Sidiki Diabate’s kora leading an emotional charge complemented by Touré’s spectacular guitar work. Both tracks represent an important generational "passing of the torch" as Sidiki’s father, Toumani is considered one of the greatest living kora masters and was a close friend of Vieux’s father Ali. Their two records together, In the Heart of the Moon and Ali and Toumani, were awarded Grammies. At the 2011 ceremonies, Vieux accepted the prestigious award for his father, who had recently passed from bone cancer.

Mon Pays is the most mature and lovely record yet from one of this generation's most exciting artists to come out of Mali and one of world music's true rising stars.

I sure like it here the birds and the trees,
Sitting quiet by the mountain's feet
And the math may baffle your mind,
A planet such as this is hard to find

The Apocalypse is Not Guaranteed
Just because it's written in some books,
Far as I know hope is still free

This is our cathedral,
Can we let it be?
Keep the oil out of our seas
Cos we all choke with the sludge in our lungs
This constant need for more must be overcome

Just as the light comes with the dawn,
I'm sure this light will shine on everyone,
And time will surely come,
When we have no choice but to act as one

The Apocalypse is Not Guaranteed

By this point, singer/songwriter Danny Michel must be a bit weary of being ranked as one of this country's undiscovered musical treasures. But it's true"  
THE TORONTO STAR

"Every time we hear a new Danny Michel album, we end up asking the same question: Why isn’t he rich, famous and beloved by the masses?" 
THE WINNIPEG SUN

"Danny Michel has reached a point where his musical vocabulary is so broad, his songwriting/arranging 
chops so sharp, his guitar playing so distinctive and his taste for the right sonic touch so impeccable that he can do whatever he wants and make it compelling" 
EYE MAGAZINE 5/5 STAR REVIEW

"He's a Canadian singer from outside Toronto. We met him when I was doing festivals, just before I got sick... and I really fell in love with his records." 
ALEJANDRO ESCOVEDO - HARP MAGAZINE

"Just fabulous. He's kind of like Paul Simon in the Rhymin' Simon days." 
STUART MCLEAN

Black Birds Are Dancing Over Me is Danny Michel’s 10th album, and first on a label in almost five years. The lyrically poignant, Juno nominated singer-songwriter’s new album is a gem, and brings Michel and his committed audience to Six Shooter Records.
"Black Birds Are Dancing Over Me" was recorded in Belize with The Garifuna Collective, a unique Afro-Amerindian cultural group. It is currently nominated for a Juno and released world wide through Stonetree Records (Belize), Cumbancha (U.S.) and Six Shooter Records (Canada) alongside a new album by The Garifuna Collective. “Black Birds” dives into the waves of Belize’s musical deep, featuring Maya guitar, turtle shells, donkey jaw-bone and traditional Garifuna segunda and primero drums. Michel cultivates lush rhythms and sounds as the perfect backdrop for his buoyantly eloquent songwriting style.
To make the record, Danny relocated from Ontario to the foot of the Xunantunich Mayan ruins in Benque Viejo del Carmen to work with pioneering producer Ivan Duran at Stonetree Records, a label/studio that has been instrumental in bringing the Belizean sound to the world. There he teamed up with members of the Garifuna Collective and the album came together unlike any before in Danny’s career. He arrived at the studio empty-handed and began by building the rhythms, adding layers until the songs took shape. The lyrics came last, which challenged Michel to work in reverse.
Inspired by the package of a mood ring, “What Colour Are You?” opens the album with a mellow reflection about true natures, painted as a spectrum of emotions and set against the sunset hues of Garifuna beats and backing vocals. Danny’s connection with Belize goes beyond artistic inspiration; he also founded the DM Ocean Academy Fund to provide scholarship money for students of the Caye Caulker Ocean Academy, the very first high school on Caye Caulker, a coral island off the coast of Belize. To date, Danny has raised over $44,000.00
Black Birds Are Dancing Over Me saturates Danny’s wholehearted imagery in a rich tropical palette, and shows his unreserved artistic commitment to the cultural experience of making a record abroad.
