Artists for the ACLU
In this powerful benefit compilation, a range of independent artists join forces to raise funds for the American Civil Liberties Union and its heroic mission to protect the rights of all people as we head into the second year of the Trump administration and its ongoing assault on the Constitution.
The album is available in a limited run of double LPs featuring all-new material from a gamut of artists across genre. This is a boon for fans of Merchandise, Palberta, Pop 1280, Profligate, and The Men, whose “Shimmer and Shine” is a rootsy, Mick Taylor-era Stones celebration of pain. Living legend Alice Cohen graces this album’s proceedings as well, with “Hourglass,” a pop track that could be a megahit in a less ugly world. There’s driving, urgent postpunk with Psychic Blood, Sediment Club, and Old Maybe on the roster. And the underground offers up quieter moments for this album, such as Kate Mohanty’s moving solo sax composition “Priorities” and Horoscope’s “Bri.” We go around the world to New Zealand with Joe Troutman (Trust Punks) and his new group Cheerleader and to the western United States with Dollar Band, a new group featuring Dylan Sharpe and Dan Swire of Gun Outfit. Their “Too Sensitive” features a ripping rhythm section and some of Sharpe’s best lyrics and guitar runs to date. These are just a few examples from this diverse compilation of 22 tracks.

Gatefold Jacket Artwork
The packaging of this record is also stellar and features artwork by Emma Kohlmann (front cover pictured above), Nick Van Woert (center labels), Sam Falls (inside gatefold design), and V. Manuscript (back cover).
Thanks to the Contributing Artists, Engineers and Manufacturers
Wharf Cat Records would like to thank the artists, manufacturers and engineers that donated their work, services and expertise to this project. This double LP would not have been possible without Brooklyn Phono, which donated the vinyl & pressing; A to Z Media, which donated the gatefold jackets; Carl Saff, who donated the mastering; Kutch 1 Studios/Look to Listen, which donated the recording time used by many of these artists; and Jason Vachula, who donated the layout and design.

Welcome to Eckhardt And The House 2018: New Year, New Sound.

Over the last years, Eckhardt And The House treated the listener to eight singles and an album release full of laid-back, easy listening, trendy nerdy and surprisingly accessible hipster sounds. Now it's time for something new. A new logo, a different style of artwork and most of all, a change of sound. But all that with keeping the existing Eckhardt And The House fan in mind.

Eckhardt And The House has developed towards a more uptempo and danceable indie sound but certainly didn’t lose any charm. The band has been taking elements from pop to avant-garde to funk and twisted it all up into a signature sound with wild experimentation and disregard for the norm. First single If You Cannot Talk is a fine example, a tale of a young girl on a long distance bus ride set to music which reminds us of Talking Heads glory days on the one hand and nowadays Modest Mouse on the other.

All previous Eckhardt And The House singles did very well on Dutch radio and were played for months on national, regional and local stations. They also got airplay on national radiostations in Belgium, Switzerland, Italy plus regional and local stations in Germany and France. Press coverage rolled in from Denmark to Japan and from the United States to Australia. Several singles reached iTunes- and Spotify Viral Charts in The Netherlands, Italy, France and Turkey, on Spotify the total number of Eckhardt And The House plays is well over 1.2 million.  

Eckhardt And The House is the project by producer, singer, multi-instrumentalist, dramatist and actor Rik Elstgeest. Rik is known from his previous bands Kopna Kopna and Alamo Race Track, as well as being composer and producer for Zazi. Together with Gerry Arling (of Arling & Cameron fame) and Bo Koek he is the core of Dutch electropop surprise Mass Electric.

Release date: 23 February 2018

If She Cannot Talk - lyrics

she was only fifteen
and she never said much

fifty bucks to cross
this land by bus

she's staring at her ticket
staring at her shoes

she's going the distance 
she's going on a cruise 

Refr:
if she cannot talk 
there's still a song
if she cannot talk
Little things go wrong

chewing on bubblegum 
waiting for the bus to leave

when the road is stroked by wheels
she already fell asleep

a guy with a pierced nose 
nicked her telephone 

she's going long distance
but she can not call

Refr:
if she cannot talk
there's still a song
if she cannot talk
Little things go wrong

Born and raised in San Antonio, Texas, and currently residing in Beverly, Massachusetts, violinist, vocalist and songwriter Aisha Burns began playing violin when she was 10 years old, and has been touring and recording since 2006.  Soon after moving to Austin in 2005, she gained her start with folk-rock outfit Alex Dupree and the Trapdoor Band, and joined the instrumental ensemble Balmorhea on violin in 2007.  After years of secret singing, she released her solo debut Life in the Midwater in 2013.  Called "twisting, ethereal...arresting" by Dazed Magazine, and praised for its "delicate intimacy" by NPR, Life in the Midwater explored mortality and relationships with candor and wisdom.  Her new album Argonauta, is a collection of songs about her struggle with the grief of losing her mother, while also navigating a new relationship, and ultimately trying to figure out what the new normal is for her life.

Show Me the Way

Lyrics:

Take me to church oh Georgie 
Give me something to fuel my love 
Give me enough 
I wanna see the sun again
Take me to church with my friends 
Find us a way to cure our blood 
It’s fillin’ up 
And I just wanna be right again 

Heavens Lonely without you 
Time move slowly without you 

Come over to my place darling
Bring everyone we’ve got enough
Climbing up 
The stars are comin out again 
Don’t leave me hangin darling 
I don’t know what happens when I’m alone 
I can’t be alone 
I just wanna be right again 

Heavens Lonely without you 
Time move slowly without you 
Heavens Lonely when I want you 
The night is boring without you
