MORE INTERNATIONAL RELEASES!

MARK GARDENER - These Beautiful Ghosts
Mark Gardener , former frontman of U.K. shoegazer luminaries Ride, releases his highly anticipated solo debut album "These Beautiful Ghosts". Gardener co-produced the album with Bill Racine (The Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, Sparklehorse) and features the brilliance of Oxford band Goldrush serving as backing band. The album sounds like Red House Painters with a Brit-popper's tune sense, languid acoustic daydreams long on vague psychedelia and hazy harmonies. The arrangements call to mind Crosby, Stills and Nash, Simon & Garfunkel, and similar acts from the softer end of the '70s rock spectrum or like something The Shins might covet. Texturally, the record does retain some of the atmospheric nuance that Ride knew so well. Featuring "The Story Of The Eye", "Beautiful Ghosts", "Snow In Mexico", "Water and Wine" and "Magdalen Sky".

MONSTER MOVIE - All Lost
U.K. dreampop act Monster Movie is formed by Christian Savill (formely of shoegazer greats Slowdive) and features Rachel Staggs from Experimental Aircraft on vocals for the majority of their records. Nearly half of the tracks on their new album “All Lost” have a feel of the Slowdive's masterpiece “Souvlaki” but the band also appropriated some California pop this time around to beautiful effect.

ADAM FRANKLIN - Bolts Of Melody
Adam Franklin is the singer/guitartist for 90’s shoegaze legends Swervedriver and labelmates with highly influential bands like Ride and My Bloody Valentine on the Creation Records label. Now he returns with his debut solo album called “Bolts of Melody”. Adam’s signature guitar playing and vocals come through strong on the album, while influences from psychedelic heroes Syd Barrett and Arthur Lee, or folk legend Nick Drake, are hinted at throughout. Fans of Adam and Swervedriver have been waiting for this record for years. “Bolts of Melody” is the answer to their prayers!

PANDA BEAR - Person Pitch
Imagine Brian Wilson drinking deep from a golden goblet of hallucinogens, plugging in a laptop and making an album of warm, layered vocals, looped hums, and supple, found sounds. The second solo album by Panda Bear - aka Noah Lennox, singer and drummer for the critically-acclaimed experimental band Animal Collective - is just such a heavenly thing, shaping psychedelic pop into blissful electronic shapes.

SALLY SHAPIRO - Disco Romance
Swedish act Sally Shapiro's debut album, "Disco Romance" is a conscious effort to recall and reproduce the sound and style of 1980’s Eurobeat and Italo disco, a genre built on cheap synthesizers, recyclable dance grooves, and vocalists reciting inane or even nonsensical lyrics. The album received strong reviews, and Shapiro has recently been championed by many prominent music blogs including Pitchfork Media. Featuring “I’ll Be By Your Side”, “Find My Soul”, “Hold Me So Tight” and “Time To Let Go”.
