Music News & Notes

Cooking Vinyl Records has announced the signing of MARILYN MANSON.

Having already sold over 50 million records worldwide, Cooking Vinyl overcame fierce competition from several labels in the U.S. and U.K., both major and independent, to release what will be MARILYN MANSON's eighth studio album.

The global deal will see the album issued via MARILYN MANSON's own label — Hell, etc. — in a joint venture between Cooking Vinyl, with the album slated for release in 2011.

After parting ways with Interscope Records, the new partnership with Cooking Vinyl gives MARILYN MANSON an unprecedented degree of creative control. The new setup will see the artist take charge of delivering the completed, mastered album and Cooking Vinyl handling worldwide distribution, marketing and promotion.

Famed for his originality and style, not only in the studio and on stage but also in his elaborate video and thought-provoking filmmaking, the latest studio instalment will again pair up Manson and Twiggy Ramirez.

Manson had this to say: "We will always be our worst audience, until we stop being an audience and start being an artist. Any art is flesh and blood, no matter how you perform, decorate or display it. But we all want the passionate horror of that blood. And blood is what I am here to bring."

The deal is a landmark signing for Cooking Vinyl, and follows the company's huge commercial success with THE PRODIGY, whose "Invaders Must Die" was the best-selling independent release in Europe in 2009.

Cooking Vinyl founder Martin Goldschmidt added: "We're delighted to welcome MARILYN MANSON to Cooking Vinyl. Often our 'relaxed' approach to A&R brings out killer performances and albums from artists. I can't wait to hear what Manson comes up with. This is a landmark signing for us. We shook up folk music in the late 80's/90's with MICHELLE SHOCKED, COWBOY JUNKIES and BILLY BRAGG, we have shaken up dance in the last couple of years with THE PRODIGY, GROOVE ARMADA and UNDERWORLD, and we are ready for a new adventure with Mr. Manson."

In an October 29 interview with "The Blairing Out With Eric Blair Show", MARILYN MANSON bassist Twiggy Ramirez (real name: Jeordie White) stated about the band's forthcoming CD, "It's almost done. It'll probably be out next year. It's fantastic. It's our best record yet, I think. I mean, everyone always says that, but I think this is our best work so far. . . It's kind of like a little more of a punk rock 'Mechanical Animals' [MARILYN MANSON's third album, which came out in 1998] without sounding too pretentious."

MARILYN MANSON last year parted ways with longtime record label Interscope following the disappointing sales performance of the shock-rocker's latest album, entitled "The High End Of Low".

Iron & Wine to Release Kiss Each Other Clean January 25th, 2011
Track Listing and New Tour Dates Announced

BURBANK, CA--(Marketwire - November 8, 2010) - Iron & Wine will release Kiss Each Other Clean on January 25th, 2011. The first new music in more than three years from the band led by Sam Beam will be made available through Warner Bros. Records in North America and 4AD in Europe, Japan, and Australia.

Kiss Each Other Clean's opening track, "Walking Far From Home," will be released on 12" vinyl and as a CD single that is sold exclusively through independent retailers in conjunction with "Back to Black Friday" on November 26th, in which independent record stores will be the only source for several exclusive new releases across the country.

Two new show dates have been added to the Iron & Wine tour, including Radio City Music Hall in New York on January 29th and the Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles on January 25th -- the date the album is released. Tickets for both shows go on sale Friday, November 12th. The band also recently announced a select nine-date tour, which begins November 13th in St. Louis. Please see below for all upcoming tour dates along with the full track listing to Kiss Each Other Clean.

The South Carolina-born, Texas-based Beam announced himself as a classic American tunesmith with a precocious musical signature on Iron & Wine's epically sparse debut album in 2002, The Creek Drank the Cradle. Followed by 2003's The Sea & The Rhythm EP, 2004 brought both the full-length Our Endless Numbered Days, along with Beam's gentle rendering of The Postal Service's "Such Great Heights," featured on the Garden State soundtrack. In the Reins -- a collaborative album with Calexico, along with Woman King EP was released in 2005, while the lyrically evocative, casually atmospheric The Shepherd's Dog came out in 2007, debuting at No. 24 on Billboard's Top 200 Album chart and earning praise from the critics. Iron & Wine's song "Flightless Bird, American Mouth" was featured on 2008's best-selling soundtrack to the movie Twilight.
