Tindersticks - Tindersticks (2nd Album)

British band Tindersticks formed in 1991, renowned for their orchestral sound and their vocalist Stuart A. Staples' characteristic baritone.  Essentially the group combined the dark romanticism of Leonard Cohen, Ian Curtis, and Scott Walker with the song craft of Lee Hazlewood and the aesthetics of indie rock. This is especially apparent on their first few records, such as Tindersticks (II) their second eponymous album.

We release this modern day classic on a 180 gram vinyl double LP accompanied with a 4-page booklet.  First 1000 copies numbered and pressed on baby blue vinyl!

Dan Penn - Do Right Man

Dan Penn has Southern Soul running through his veins.  Penn started out in the early sixties as band leader of various soul combos in Alabama but remaining out of the limelight for most of his career, choosing instead writing hit songs for other artists.  He has been responsible for songs including "Is A Bluebird Blue" by Conway Twitty, "Do Right Woman Do Right Man" by Aretha Franklin, "The Letter" by The Box Tops, "I'm Your Puppet" by Bobby & James Purify, "You Left The Water Running" by Wilson Picket and Otis Redding and many more.

In 1994 Dan finally picked up the guitar and recorded these songs himself for the first time and to great effect: his renditions of "I'm Your Puppet" and "You Left The Water Running" add fragile and beautiful magic to these already great songs.  The Music On Vinyl release of Do Right Man is a must-have as it's never been released on vinyl before!

THE COLOURIST PREMIERE NEW SONG, "YES YES" ON ROLLING STONE

Be sure to catch The Colourist at COACHELLA and on tour with Metric, Youngblood Hawke and The Wombats!

After debuting their breakout single "Little Games" last month, The Colourist premiered their second athemic-indie-pop hit, "Yes Yes" today on RollingStone.com.

The Colourist first stumbled upon one another in an underused warehouse in Orange County, CA, where Adam and Maya discovered the harmonic chemistry that has come to define the band’s bright and anthemic signature sound.

"We'd had the idea for "Yes Yes" since the band started," explains drummer Maya Tuttle, "We knew a friend's relationship was near the breaking point because of a third wheel that was trying to break the two up by throwing lies into the mix. While in the studio in LA, Adam came up with an upbeat idea for the base of the song--then the four of us hunkered down and completed it. It's about not falling for the illusion that another person can fix all of your problems."

• LISTEN TO "YES YES" •

Having spent much of 2012 honing their live show with the likes of Grouplove, Electric Guest and Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr., The Colourist begin 2013 holed up in a small studio in Southern California. It’s there that Adam Castilla (vocals, guitar), Maya Tuttle (drums, vocals), Kollin Johannsen (guitar, bass), and Justin Wagner (bass, keys) will commit their pop-fueled, indie-bred rock to tape before embarking on their first tour which includes appearances at Coachella along with support shows with Metric, The Wombats and Youngblood Hawke.

Keep your eyes peeled for The Colourist's debut full length album coming later this year!
