UN007 - Snailhouse - Lies On The Prize
Filed Under: Featured, Releases

Released online: June 27th 2008 by Unfamiliar Records
Released in Canada: July 1st 2008 by Sonic Unyon

UN007 - Snailhouse - Lies On The Prize

Purchase:  [   PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!  ] 

On Lies on the Prize, Snailhouse’s songs hit harder, shine fiercer, than any that came before. It’s due in large part to the production by Arcade Fire’s Jeremy Gara. I love the affection in each track, the richness of sound, the amethysts & seashells & uppercuts they found. Snailhouse is Mike Feuerstack, who also plays in the Wooden Stars and Bell Orchestre.

Label Update - June 12th, 2008

Filed Under: News

The Two Koreas release their Sessions EP on June 12th in Toronto at The Beaver. We’d like to welcome back Kieran Grant, their guitarist, who, over the last year, underwent several surgeries during an extended hospital stay. We can’t even put into words how glad we are that he’s OK. Truth Explosion have just posted an interview with Kieran about the experience; we urge you to have a read.

In happier news, The Paper Cranes are well underway on putting together their follow-up to the critically acclaimed Halcyon Days. More on this - with some MP3 downloads - as it progresses.

Coming soon will be pre-release MP3s from Chad Blue in preparation for the release of his EP in the fall. We’re also prepping The Clips and Brasstronaut CDs for release, and have another Brasstronaut video for you:
