New Name

Pre-order the "Vessel" 7-inch with the B-side "Wants": http://www.galleryac.com/dan-mangan-blacksmith-vessel-wants.html

After a two year hiatus, an induction into fatherhood, and some time to regroup, two-time JUNO Award-winner Dan Mangan has returned under a new moniker, Dan Mangan + Blacksmith. The new name encompasses the spirit of the project’s longstanding ensemble members joining the band fromVancouver's experimental music community, Kenton Loewen, Gordon Grdina, John Walsh (and often Jesse Zubot, JP carter andTyson Naylor) with a communal sensibility that merits the marquee amendment.

Produced by Colin Stewart and Dan Mangan, Club Meds at times evokes images of subtler American-underground innovators like Blonde Redhead or Steve Reich. At other moments, it hits emotional pay dirt reminiscent of British scene-survivors like Peter Gabriel or Radiohead.  Blacksmith brings an unmistakable character to Club Meds; a stark glassy edge that swells and sways like a roaring ocean. Through a fog of analog feedback loops and synths, the band's performances breathe deeply and steadily like a dragon at rest.

If I Can't Change Your Mind

By day, Elephant Micah’s Joseph O'Connell works as a folklorist, documenting the local culture of southern Indiana and other Midwest regions. Not surprisingly, his songs seem to emerge from habits of travel and observation. Their account of the phenomenal world is as vivid as it is mysterious, equal parts ethnographic fact and fable.

For the past 14 years, O'Connell has quietly self-released his work on CD-R and limited LP, sometimes collaborating with the psych-folk imprint Time-Lag Records or other very small labels. Despite the project’s almost secretive status, Elephant Micah has repeatedly caught the attention of NPR, and has been championed by an impressive cohort of like-minded artists, including Jason Molina, Patterson Hood (Drive-By Truckers), Hiss Golden Messenger, and Dark Dark Dark.

Over time, O’Connell’s songwriting has grown in confidence and intensity, while maintaining its signature restraint. Where in Our Woods, the 12th Elephant Micah album and the first for Western Vinyl, is the fruit of this long-term creative progress. It will see release on January 20th, 2015. 

A painstaking work of minimalism, Where in Our Woods is defined by its limited palette. The arrangements foreground nylon-string guitar and an antique portable pump organ. A stripped down-drum set (played by Matthew O’Connell, Joe’s brother), a baritone ukulele, a toy recorder, and harmony vocals (sung by Will Oldham, a friend of and key influence on O’Connell) round out the sound. This sparse ensemble leaves O’Connell’s voice room to breathe, while elevating and magnifying the poetry of his songs. Throughout the album, O'Connell deftly transforms the stuff of everyday American life into a series of entrancing meditations on culture, nature, religion, and modernity.

"This record might be his best yet. Beautiful and haunting. "
- Patterson Hood (Drive-By Truckers). 

"...unavoidable and real…these songs have a way of bringing one back down to earth and re-revealing what's always been there, what's old to be discovered, revisited, embraced."
– Angel Olsen

Ásgeir "Head in the Snow" Live at KDHX 2-24-2014

This is getting hard to bear
Face it I'm not getting through
I don't even think you care
For all the things I've won for you

I have been your champion
So why do you walk away

I brought you the skies
And the oceans too
By the look in your eye
The only thing I couldn't do
Is fail for you.

My neck is so weighed down with gold
My glory always on display
Strangers in the street behold
But you just turn your head away

I will be your victory
But still you walk away

I brought you the skies
And the oceans too
By the look in your eye
The only thing I couldn't do
Is fail for you.

Fail For You

Track taken from the album "Moonsung: A Real World Retrospective".  This album is now available as part of the Real World Gold series - http://realworldrecords.com/gold/

Starting off with a reprise of Ever So Lonely, the Top 20 pop hit she had as a teenager with her band Monsoon, Moonsung gathers together the finest moments from the three albums that Anglo-Indian singer Sheila Chandra made for Real World in the 1990s. And this compilation confirms what an under-rated artist she truly is. Singular in vision and open-eared in her musical exploration, Chandra is also in possession of a thing of great wonder – a voice that’s weightless and supremely graceful. 
“Merely a stopping-off point before total world domination” – Q 


Sheila Chandra - Ever so Lonely (Real World Gold)
