You&Me

White Are The Waves

White Waves


Hot on the heels of Snock's latest and just ahead of Kevin Barker's upcoming full-length, Gnomonsong is proud to bring you a new single from Papercuts, "White Are The Waves". Another ace production from Jason, recorded by himself at his own studio, this track delivers another dose of deep, dark pop, for those who can't get enough of You Can Have What You Want . The flipside features a remix of 'A Dictator's Lament' by Neighbors, giving the original a little more heft in the dance department. Not to be missed! Available digitally and in stores November 24th.

New Snock!

Ida Con Snock


Hot diggity! Ladies & Gentlemen, excitement has begun, as we have for your delight and amusement, a new and wonderful album from Michael Hurley and Ida. An unlikely collaboration you say? Well, I don't know about all that, all I know is that it's terrific, and easily slots up there as one of our favorite Snock endeavors. Recorded at Levon Helm's studio in Woodstock, it balances a fine selection of Hurley classics and new songs with the understated and purring arrangments of Ida and their family of friends. Available Oct. 6, be sure to order one today, and if you're out west, don't miss Hurley's opening slot on tour with Jolie Holland in the coming weeks. Dates are up on our live page, and an mp3 of the deeply affecting "Wildgeeses" is available on Hurley's artist page. Have a listen!

GNOMONSONG HITS THE ROAD

tp

Nearly every artist on Gnomonsong is either touring or about to hit the road in the next couple of weeks, so be sure to check the LIVE page for dates.

Jana Hunter and Michael Hurley are headed overseas in April and Rio En Medio and Vetiver will be making the jaunt across the pond in May. Meanwhile, for attentive listeners in the US, be sure to catch the Papercuts while you still can, and don't miss Vetiver as they tour in support of Gary Louris. Hurley and Rio En Medio, along with Feathers' Meara O'Reilly's new project ANS will be making ther way up the west coast in the coming weeks. Exciting stuff!!

Also be sure to pick up the latest issue of The Wire for a wonderful article about Michael Hurley by Byron Coley. There are some great photos accompanying the piece, however the old black and white photo of Snoc from the 70s isn't really him, just so ya know. The Wire's website has a special remix of Hurley's
"Uncle Smoochface" for download on their site here

New Vetiver 12" Remix Available

It did take it's time getting here, but a new 12", Vetiver's first for Gnomonsong, is now in stores. Featuring remixes from Neighbors of two songs from their album To Find Me Gone, this release takes the Vetiver sound into new territory, with the longer, dark sounding schaffel of "You May Be Blue" and a skeletal dub version of "Been So Long".

Vetiver have also just put the wraps on their next full-length, an album of cover tunes entitled "Thing Of The Past", set for release on Gnomonsong and FatCat sometime mid-May.

They'll be hitting the road soon in the US and Canada, supporting Gary Louris, this March and April. Dates are up in the tour section, of course.

Also be sure to check out a little impromptu DJ set from Andy now up at dublab.com . Culled from records he'd recently scored on tour around the states and luckily had stashed in LA, it's an interesting mix of stuff even Andy wasn't too familiar with. Big ups to Frosty and everyone down at dublab for doing what they do! It is very much appreciated!

Papercuts And Beach House Hit The Road

We here at G/ONG are resonating with excitement in the new year to hear that the Papercuts are set to tour with one of our favorite dreamy duos, Beach House this winter. Rumor has it that Jason will be joining Victoria and Alex on drums during their set, which should just about rule, and Alex may chime in with the Papercuts as well. Dates are up in the Live section.

Powerwoman decrees it so!
At long last, a new batch of tasty tunes from Snock, each like a slightly odd and wonderous gourd, gathered together to bask in the waning autumn sun. Delicious! We are very excited.
