Top 7" Singles

Get Gone

Field Mouse - You Guys Are Gonna Wake Up My Mom

Bedroom pop prodigy Andrew Collberg expands with a looser, live sound on this new 7inch single. Collberg wrote the songs in the midst of lengthy travels but looked to improvisational collaboration when it came time to bring them to life. 

Taken from Collberg’s forthcoming LP, “Dirty Wind” and “Back on the Shore” come from a pile of songs written while traveling Western America and Central Europe. 

These are songs that do not belong in the hands of one man, but in a room where they’re able to breathe among many. Engineer Jim Waters (Sonic Youth, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, etc.) helped to create a vastness that reflects the true nature of these songs. Relying on Collberg’s natural talent, almost nothing on the record is planned out; it’s just five people in a room, a man behind the glass and some incredible songs. 

Both sides are songs that explore the nature of travel, yearning and questions of identity. “Dirty Wind” is blues-based rock, a march of guitar riffs that set up Collberg’s catchy vocals. “Back on the Shore” is a slower, pensive showcase for Collberg’s melodic pop and masterful arrangements. 

Born in Sweden, Collberg picked up the drums as a young child in New Zealand, but it wasn’t until moving to Tucson that his musical horizons began expanding. He began making home recordings at 14 and made his solo stage premier at 16. 

Collberg has been recording and crafting pop songs in his bedrooms for over a decade now, with multiple releases to show for it. After making his international debut with last years On The Wreath (le Pop Musik), Collberg decided to step out of the bedroom, recruiting some of Tucson’s brightest musicians to realize his vision. 

“Dirty Wind” / “Back on the Shore” is Collberg’s first 7inch and debut on Fort Lowell Records. 



Previous Press Accolades for Andrew Collberg

“Andrew Collberg has released his second album, and it's a subtle killer, brainy and sophisticated, but never pretentious. - This is a terrific album in which you can immerse yourself, soaking up the melodies and Collberg's earnest upbeat sentiments.” - Tucson Weekly

“For all the promise he showed on that self-titled album he dropped in 2006 - and we're talking some serious promise here -- there's not an expectation Andrew Collberg falls short of exceeding on his latest effort, On the Wreath.” - Blurt

Andrew Collberg "Dirty Wind"

Wild Nothing are set to release a new 7" through Captured Tracks on February 21st , the
first new recordings from the band since 2010's critically acclaimed album 'Gemini'.

Where 'Gemini' was the product of 23-year-old Jack Tatum's home
recordings, "Nowhere" finds Tatum in a recording studio for the first time. With live
instrumentation and vocals from Andrea Estella of Twin Sister, "Nowhere" is a notable
departure for Wild Nothing and captures the sound of a maturing songwriter exploring
different moods.

The 7" is currently available through pre-order [LINK] on the Captured Tracks website
with a limited run of 500 on white vinyl.

Gemini and the follow-up EP, Golden Haze landed the band on numerous year-end lists
in 2010 including Pitchfork, Stereogum, Under The Radar, Rough Trade, Complex &
USA Today.

DD010: Amateur Best - Be Happy // The Wave 7" 
Limited to 300 copies worldwide 
Release Date: February 13th 2012 
Pre-order 
http://doubledenimrecords.bigcartel.com

Amateur Best is a new creation from London's Joe Flory (formerly Primary 1). Through soft, lilting pop songs Flory tells the story of James Best, a sometime London DJ, latent alcoholic and lifelong amateur. Best's hijinx are also chronicled in an accompanying comic book following our hero through the murder and mayhem that is pre-Olimpik London, as James' fate becomes inexorably entwined with that of the city he lives in.

Double Denim are hugely excited to announce the physical release of a 7" single on February 13th and also an accompanying comic book to complete the story. On the A-side on the single is 'Be Happy' a bittersweet song carried along by languid electronics and an anxious but soulful vocal that looks into the mirror and can't seem to find anything familiar. With an even darker complexion is 'The Wave' a song that makes up the B-side of the record.

From the 7” 'Common Sentiments” (2012) • Pay What You Can http://tndr.lv/commonsentiments

O what am i waiting for
A spell to be cast or for it to be broken?
At the very last some wild ghost from my past come to split me wide open?
If i bandage my eyes will you press in my hand a small simple token?
I was born deaf or else you’ve never spoken
I thought it was safe for me and my own
I began hearing these voices in the dial tone
And they come to me now though i dismembered my phone
They say you wanna hear something that you already know
If it comes from above but this one comes from below
It says you are sleeping together but you will die alone
I thought it was safe but the seed had been sown
As a child i aspired to be a superhero
Now i live with the corpses of the lives i let go
Oh i know you all know how these things start to show
I have been trying to make myself better
So i can fare the fair or foul weather
I write a song like a prison letter
I write a song maybe to make me feel better
It won’t break free my fetters
I know what came after but what happened before
I began making memories at the age of four
I learned to use words and i got jealous and bored
Soon i’ll be passing out cold on the kitchen floor
When am i gonna feel better?
When am i gonna feel better
When am i gonna feel better
I have been patient for a long time now
I’ve been a patient for a long time now
I’ve been a patient for a long time now
I’ve been a patient for a long time now
And i will never be a younger man now
O what am i waiting for
A spell to be cast or for it to be broken?
At the very last some wild ghost from my past come to split me wide open?
No. if i hold out my hand there is nothing at all because nothing’s the token
I will be good though my body be broken
I will be good
May i want for nothing at all

Born amidst the 7-Elevens and white trash comradery of Southern California's suburban desert, Los Angelenos Francisco the Man grew up the way bands used to grow up. Huddled in the corners of their parents' garages. In church halls. In basements. Passing cheap beer, pissing each other off, and dreaming of the day they might continue to do the same without a dead end day job. 

Francisco the Man is indeed a real band from the days of yore, yet their sound is anything but dated: locomotive Crazy Horse jams with squalling feedback, the punky spirit of 1977 New York, sunburnt shoegaze hymnals, and chunky Motown grooves, all saturated in rose-hued California power pop. 

The guys latest release is just as sweet. Right when the band's euphoric crests have you shaking off goosebumps, Francisco the Man pulls the plug at the most dramatic moment to send you floating dreamily down a river of ambience reminiscent of My Bloody Valentine's Loveless. It's perfect, really. The only thing left is to drift off and tune in to the earnest, idiosyncratic vocals of singer Scotty Cantino, who stands out from his peers as one of the few true innovators of modern guitar pop. Evocative of a young Doug Martsch, Cantino's sanguine and nostalgic lyricism hearkens back to those early memories of suburban paradise, with all the heart and pluck of a wisened street child who never forgot where he came from. 

Their new 7" dropped August 7th, 2012 via Small Plates Records.

PURCHASE @ http://lightintheattic.net/releases/767-light-in-the-attic-10-year-anniversary-betty-davis-if-i-m-in-luck-i-might-get-picked-up

Celebrating Light In The Attic's 10 year anniversary in 2012, we are releasing a series of very special colored vinyl 7”s and digital downloads. The series features contemporary artists covering a track reissued by Light In The Attic on the A-side, plus the original version on the B-side. 

To launch the series, we asked Los Angeles-based scuzzy punks Zig Zags, whose debut 7" came out on Mexican Summer earlier this year, to team up with legendary punk rock icon Iggy Pop (yes, THAT Iggy Pop!). With this, we give you Iggy Pop and Zig Zags' take on Betty Davis' "If I'm In Luck I Might Get Picked Up" from her self-titled debut album (LITA 026).  

Digging deep into the grooves of the original, Zig Zags discovered a secret heavy Sabbath vibe lurking just below the funk surface. Mixing that with their usual sludge-punk leanings, the god-like Iggy Pop was brought in to sing. A natural choice. 

A side was recorded by Dan Horne (Beachwood Sparks), mixed by Thom Monahan (Vetiver, Pernice Bros, Devendra Banhart), and mastered by Dave Cooley (Elysian Masters). B side features the original 1973 Betty Davis recording as remastered by Dave Cooley in 2007.

Other artists in the series include:
Charles Bradley & The Menahan Street Band covering Rodriguez 
Sweet Tea (feat. Alex Maas of the Black Angels & Erika Wennerstrom of the Heartless Bastards) covering Wendy Rene
More releases in the series to be announced.
