Caroline is the lead single from new EP, 'Caroline/If Only' OUT NOW!

London-based singer-songwriter Douglas Dare releases new EP, following on from his debut album Whelm. Named after album track Caroline and new track If I Knew I Were Alive, it also features remixes by fellow label mate Ryan Lee West aka Rival Consoles and Houndstooth’s own electronic producer Ross Tones aka Throwing Snow.
Caroline has always been a precious track for Douglas, one of the first tracks he recorded and a story in which he imagines his grandfather is writing to a loved one during the war. As the only song on his debut album that is stripped down to just his voice and piano playing, and it being a favourite amongst fans at his concerts, it was a natural choice as a first single.

Caroline

It's been countless days, since last we wrote
And countless more, since last we wrote
But now that's all that remains
The letters that make up your name
And I used to see every line that crossed 
Your face, but now the lines are lost
In stories told and I've grown old
Let me read again the letters that you sent

Caroline wrote to me
Every day of that July
But now that's all I have left
Just thirty-one pages of Caroline

I waited all that time for you
To write be back, to write a new
Verse of our love but it never came
Just hoped my Caroline was safe
And just as I had always feared
Your precious words they disappeared 
In to my mind as I went blind
Let me read again the letters that you sent

Caroline wrote to me
Every day of that July
But now that's all I have left
Just thirty-one pages of Caroline

To pick them up might cut my hands
And blind me 
To pick them up might cut my hands
And blind me

Let me read again the letters that she sent

Caroline/If Only

Caroline

I’m swearing old doubt, with all the wrong words.
I’m worried and wired that this might hurt

Giving up is wrong when you’re in love
Giving up is wrong when you’re loved

I’m crossing old lists, from trees once kissed
Trying to find the old words I missed

Right between the moon and sun
Lost within the tale I’ve spun

But we won’t give up the others,
Won’t give up the others ’til we’re done.
Won’t give up the others,
Won’t give up the others ’til we’re gone.

I’m rolling old beds, and I know nothing more.
Release me from running back down the first floor

Giving in to old when you’re done
Giving in to feeling someone. 

But we won’t give up the others,
Won’t give up the others ’til we’re done.
Won’t give up the others,
Won’t give up the others ’til we’re gone.

And we're gone, gone, gone. (repeat)

Gone, Not Gone (demo)

 I've been on some burn it down, leave this town, never look back shit 
Passing out on your couch, sneaking out the back tip
 Ripping credit cards out your mailbox snatch it
 Charge it to the game playboy, it's practice
  They been on some got this, squat this, reroute the power grid
 Cops can't stop this, over our dead body bitch
 Eat this, drop this, turn it up louder kid 
Put it down in our path? Million ways around that shit  
We backstage sterilizing tattoos with beer 
You cats stay paralyzed by bad news and fear 
You underage and they ain't fucking let you in here 
Fake ID G, and buy us all beer  
I’m sick of kids who sit and bitch about how they can't get into shit 
Ya "woe is me" steez, just getting bit ridiculous
 Fucking A, you're underage, that means they just slap your wrist
 If not, you're young and fit, “Yeah Bitch! Out run the pigs!”  
Ha! And give em all trophies
And some orange slices 
Yeah, y'all already know me 
One of the only that's really grindin’
  Lazy motherfuckers wanna call it luck 
Be real motherfuckers know there ain't no such
 Thing cause i mean there ain't no free lunch
 You better fix your own plate or serve one to us
  Go on pray to your God, or complain on facebook 
Stay waiting for your Dad, to come save the day dork
 Voted for Obama, and expecting changes It’s just one big party all giving the same gifts  "SIKE!"  Like a P.O.S T-shirt! 
YIKES!  It’s only gonna get worse! 
RIGHT?  This beat Is kinda bzerk 
Turn it up louder till my fucking teeth hurt!
  Yeah girl, I own some gold teeth
I’m southern, I was taught to hold heat
Ain’t no gangster, I’ll tell that true
Rick Ross just a cop with some bad tattoos

Florida baby, yeah my neck stay real red
While you make believe pushing that white shit
You dress up gangsters can play pretend
I stay slangin that white girl round my bed

Young Steve McQueen spit that dick game
You tweet real bossy for a bitch with a tin chain
I don’t need no Maybach just to sharpen my pimp girl
Pull girls on my bike they ride my handlebars home, man!

Ooh!  Put my word on that chief
Rihanna gonna haller, the way I murdered that beat
A condom like an umbrella, King Kong in the bed sheets
Just haller at a fella when you’re done with that dead beat!

CHORUS

 See, I can write your dumb raps 
Pay me, and go buy some hubcaps
 Fake G’s talkin bout gun claps
 Ain't gonna happen, like A-Rod's come back
  Talent is cheap, money's all made up
 Gallons of beam, and the speakers based up
Fuck it!  I got nothing left to say son 
Y'all get Cryphy!  Thank you Based God! 

CHORUS 

"The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion."

------------------

Takénobu is the moniker for classically trained cellist and independent composer Nick Takenobu Ogawa. Reversal is his 5th full-length album, consisting of 1 lyrical and 12 instrumental tracks.  Ogawa composed and performed the tracks on Reversal using a variety of traditional and non-traditional techniques to highlight the rich sound and dynamic range of the cello.  He records using multi-layered and multi-textural arrangements, bringing the classical instrument into a modern realm.  His self produced recordings often contain dozens of layers, highlighting a diverse range of playing styles that combine to create a cohesive and unified musical composition. 

Ogawa was raised in rural Vermont in a small town with a population of roughly one thousand residents.  He grew up spending most of his time playing in the woods, since there was no cable tv, and no next door neighbors.  His parents, both college professors at nearby Middlebury, introduced him to the cello at age 6.  Ogawa took private lessons until he was 18, and daily practice was a regimented part of his upbringing.  After years of private study and orchestral playing, Ogawa veered away from classical music and began to focus on a self-taught style of play and composition based on a variety of roots and world music influences, borrowing techniques from his guitar playing. Ogawa moved to Kyoto, Japan, where he spent a year experimenting with and cultivating his unique playing style and sound, at one point even injuring his wrist due to intense practice.  He then returned to Philadelphia, where he graduated from Haverford college thinking that he would attend law school.  

Instead, upon graduation, Ogawa moved to Vancouver, where he recorded his first full length album.  Ogawa then moved to Brooklyn, New York and won the 2006 Williamsburg live singer songwriter competition.  With the prize money he was able to independently release his first album, Introduction in 2007.  The release was modest and received favorable reviews, but did not gain widespread exposure.  At that point, Ogawa all but gave up on his dreams of pursuing music.  However, before doing so, he submitted his album to Pandora internet radio.  Over the course of the next 4 years, thanks to Pandora’s recommendation algorithm, Ogawa’s music began receiving enough streams and sales to pay the bills.  At this point, Ogawa was able to devote himself full time to music, and he has released 3 full-length albums since.  He has enjoyed frequent spins on NPR’s morning edition, opened for Kishi Bashi, and performed and arranged cello for Dessa’s “It’s Only Me”, on Parts of Speech via Doomtree Records. Ogawa has lived and performed in New York, Philadelphia, Vancouver, BC, Kyoto, Japan and currently resides in Atlanta, Georgia.

"One Bad Cop" is the second single from “Post-Post-Race,” the debut collaboration from Twin Cities MC/poet Guante and producer Katrah-Quey. Featuring quotable guest verses from G.P. Jacob and Tish Jones, the song tackles not just police brutality in general, but one very specific element of it: how so much of the conversation in media focuses on the specific details of each individual case, while failing to make connections to the broader trends of police violence, institutional racism, and mass incarceration. Like the duo's first single, "White People on Twitter," this song is about digging deeper and striving to think critically-- especially important considering the current #justice4jamar protests growing in the artists' backyard, Minneapolis.

Music: Katrah-Quey: @katrah-quey
Words: G.P. Jacob, Guante, Tish Jones
Mixing: Katrah-Quey and Graham O'Brien

No April Fools joke here. After dropping the out-of-nowhere “Cross Countries” single earlier this week, Cecil Otter announces the immediate release of his new EP Dear Echo, available digitally through Doomtree Records.  Longtime Doomtree crew member and behind-the-scenes production wizard, Cecil has spent years developing his unique and signature sound, and Dear Echo pushes the genre boundaries even further for his most modern, lush, and experimental offering yet.  Recorded in Fall Creek, WI at Justin Vernon’s renowned April Base Studios, the six-track EP includes three brand new songs alongside their accompanying instrumentals, with production, songwriting, and vocals masterfully handled by Cecil himself.  Available now for download, Dear Echo will also see a vinyl release later this year.  Standard and deluxe LP packages are now available for pre-order from the Doomtree webstore, and include limited-edition white vinyl and an extremely rare signed-and-numbered screen-print series featuring the artwork Cecil created during the Dear Echo recording sessions.

After self-producing several of his own solo albums throughout the 2000’s, Cecil Otter rose to fame as one half of the mashup duo Wugazi, a remix project that overlapped the gritty raps of Wu-Tang Clan with the sounds of post-rock vets Fugazi.  The project went instantly viral and garnered high praise from the likes of NBC, Rolling Stone, MTV, and even Jay-Z’s own site, Life + Times.  Dear Echo marks Cecil’s first new collection of solo material since 2008’s Rebel Yellow.
