A collection of twelve brand new holiday classics from the bubbling folk-rock collective Balthrop, Alabama. All proceeds benefit End Up Records in its efforts to make music easier and more fun to make. It’s some kinda feel good doo wah diddy all the way around.
Our resident web gremlin has been toiling away for several gremlin lifetimes. The result is an eyeball smorgasbord! So please, come and feast your eyes for free. While you’re there, check out the whippy-dippy shopping cart, complete with imaginary sound effects. It’s totally alchemical! You can use it to convert images on the screen into music for your ears. Fill er up!
Caithlin De Marrais is releasing her impossibly intimate, beautiful love letter to your very heart– her first full-length album My Magic City. Recorded in a cottage, an apartment, and a fire-ravaged church in Brooklyn, it was produced together by Rainer Maria’s Kyle Fischer and Rocketship Park’s Josh Kaufman, and mixed to perfection by Dave Schiffman (Johnny Cash, Mars Volta, etc). Eleven magic songs.
Our favorite costumed supergroup Fred & Daily are letting loose their shredtastic, uproarious, and imminently danceable full-length album Hypocrite Ballet upon the world. Containing hardly a half-second of silence, it perfectly fills that aching gap in between the Talking Heads and Hedwig. Physicists are still struggling to explain where it comes from–we’re not telling.
Ne’er Do Evers‘ hyperbolic, brilliantly self-aware magnum opus, 100% Wrong, will also be available for public consumption. Equal parts Dinosaur, Frank Black, scuff marks, coffee and a beer, this record plays like a 30-minute Zen koan at 120db, refuting all logic. We wish it was a double-album, so we use the “repeat all” function in our media players. We suggest you do the same.
We’re proud to announce that our lovely neighborinos the Ne’er Do Evers have joined the End Up roster! Their upcoming album, 100% Wrong, will be out soon on End Up Records. Check out their new artist page, or visit their website.
In a sense, Black Milk is the reason I moved to New York. Catch me on the corner some time and I’ll explain what that means. But all cryptography aside, Kyle Fischer’s latest record is out in the world now, and man is it a good one. Get it!
