Capgun CoupMaudlin
IN STORES 11.3.09
Capgun Coup recorded Maudlin live, all together in one room, with the help of AJ Mogis, who captured their live sound and highlighted the innate pop sensibility that threads through their vibrant cacophony of alternately angular and loosely jangling guitars and rattling drums.

Life with a Slow Ear
IN STORES 11.3.09
Perhaps it was those long drives on the road and the need to pick up and move. Whatever the reason, Hollingsworth soon wrote and recorded Life With a Slow Ear, a beautiful and ragged record that plays like the words on a page of a great Southern novel read.

RCRDLBL gets the jump on the new Capgun by posting a free download of “Sitting on the Sidewalk,” and Sourceburst is there to cover it. Dwars are out in force covering the new Simon Joyner LP, and “Out Into the Snow” reviews keep coming in, including thoughts from Dusted, FencePost, Popheadwound and Fixed Sterre. Check out these incredible live clips of Shudder To Think over at Used Wigs, and read Craig Wedren’s interview with the Onion, as he discusses the new “Live From Home” LP. Eat Sleep Drink Music and Relix chime in with some thoughts on the new Taylor Hollingsworth LP, out Nov 3. Even the Salt Lake Tribune has a few things to say about about Taylor’s new album. Punchdrunklovesicksingalong are feeling the debut by Joker’s Daughter while the greatest music website on the planet, The Quietus get Joker’s in the Halloween mix. And nothing is more tedious than the onslaught of Best of the Decade lists, unless of course, they include Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins.
CATCH ALL ARCHIVESPlease welcome Jason Boesel!
For the last 15 years, LA-based drummer Jason Boesel has been planted firmly behind the kit, keeping time for the likes of Rilo Kiley, Bright Eyes, The Elected, and more recently, Conor Oberst and The Mystic Valley Band. Boesel was inspired to pick up the guitar and write his own record after his friends raved about the first song he ever wrote: ‘Hustler’s Son.’ Now, a few studio sessions later, Jason Boesel announces his solo debut for Team Love Records: ‘Hustler’s Son,’ out January 12, 2010.
Boesel headed into the studio in March of 2009 with a core group of collaborators: Mystic Valley Band member Nik Freitas, Blake Mills (Band of Horses), and producer Jonathan Wilson (Elvis Costello ‘Momofuku’ and Jenny Lewis ‘Acid Tongue’). He eventually sought out the additional talents of Benmont Tench (Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers), Orenda Fink (O + S, Azure Ray), David Rawlings (Gillian Welch, Old Crow Medicine Show), Taylor Goldsmith (Dawes), and fellow Rilo Kiley member Blake Sennett.

READ THE REST OF THIS ENTRY...Please welcome Midnight Masses!
After falling in love with the hazy neo-soul and 60s revivalism of Rapture Ready, I Gazed At The Body, New York’s own Team Love has partnered with Collect Records to release Midnight Masses’ 4-track debut to the world this winter. The original release date of November 10th will now shift to December, with the digital version of the album slated for 12/8 and the vinyl set for 12/15. The news comes on the heels of The Fader’s premiere of “Walk on Water,” the EP-opening slow-burn featuring TV on the Radio’s Jaleel Bunton.

READ THE REST OF THIS ENTRY...First listen: Capgun Coup “Bad Bands”
Yesterday Capgun Coup’s song “Bad Bands”, the first single off of the band’s upcoming album Maudlin, premiered on MagnetMagazine.com. Download the song here.
The follow up to 2007’s Brought to You by Nebraskafish, Maudlin is often a satiric commentary on the state of contemporary life, as well as a sonic homage to Capgun Coup’s reputed, dynamic live shows. The raw, rousing “Bad Bands” serves as a great introduction to the band and album, with what Magnet calls “a sound that radiates genuinely rebellious and invigorating energy. With a bedlam of angry guitars and echoing drums, “Bad Bands,”…is one such anthem that will grab you and throw you into a wall—and you’ll enjoy every second of it.”
Maudlin will be released November 3rd on Team Love.
