Encore Records

Interpol

S/T

On their fourth and self-titled full-length, Interpol return to Matador, the label that released their first two albums.
It is their last album to feature bassist Carlos Dengler, whose departure was announced in May. Mixed by Alan Moulder (Depeche Mode, Smashing Pumpkins, the Killers), there s a greater emphasis on the rhythm section, which carries the band through a set of dark, thematically connected songs.

Great Lake Swimmers

Lost Channels

U.S. only deluxe vinyl LP edition includes a bonus seven-inch single plus a download code for the entire album. Lost Channels is the fourth album by the masters of ‘Ambient Zen Americana’, Great Lake Swimmers. Often compared to the likes of Nick Drake, Iron and Wine, Red House Painters and ‘After the Gold Rush’-era Neil Young, the new album by Tony Dekker and Co. nods occasionally in the more commercial direction of R.E.M. while simultaneously continuing to deliver the ‘starkly evocative and melodically melancholic’ (Paste magazine) brand of Folk Rock for which his band are renowned. Sony. 2010.

Jenny and Johnny

I’m Having Fun Now

Jenny and Johnny first started working together in Los Angeles in 2005, after being introduced by Conor Oberst.

The exuberance of love songs like ‘Scissor Runner’ mask some of the record’s darkness, with Lewis chronicling the economic demise of her beloved California in ‘Big Wave’, Rice’s haunting vocal on ‘Animal’, and both songwriters raising a middle-finger kiss off in the acerbic ‘My Pet Snakes’.

The overall result is genuine and original pop music for ‘Right Now’. This is not a Rilo Kiley record, a Jenny Lewis record, or a Johnathan Rice record. This is Jenny and Johnny

Wild Nothing

Gemini

Wild Nothing is the solo project of Virginia born Jack Tatum.

Despite his youth (Tatum is in his early twenties) his music is the product of romantic nostalgia and an obsession with the sounds of the past.

Reminiscent of The Cure, Cocteau Twins and My Bloody Valentine, the songs on ‘Gemini’ sound familiar but slightly warped, somehow revivalist and modern at the same time.
