I'll also be shifting over to wordpress and redesigning the look of the site. It might take a little bit of time for everything to fall in order but we'll back and better than ever soon. Thank you all in advance for your patience. Read Full Story

Not yet published.
New Wax Seattle's David Bazan is set to release Strange Negotiations via Barsuk on May 24th. Bazan took a cue from Kickstarter.com and took donations from fans to help fund the recording of the album. The now-completed and set-for-release album follows up 2009's Curse Your Branches , an unflinchingly introspective collection of songs centering around Bazan's struggles with Christianity. While Strange Negotiations plays like an extension to its predecessor, albeit with a more overreaching... Read Full Story
Cass McCombs: Wit's End (2011)
| From : thankscaptainobvious.net

New Wax Mysterious nomad songwriter Cass McCombs, whose apparent distaste for publicity (rumor is he'll only do handwritten interviews through the mail) is only rivaled by his effortless knack for penning excellent genre-defying material. From the Smiths-esque tinge of his earlier material, to the unexpected country-influence of 2009's sublime Catacombs , McCombs has proven to be not only a deft student of music but an original voice in an overcrowded indie landscape. With his newest effort... Read Full Story

Timber Timbre: Creep On Creepin On (2011)
| From : thankscaptainobvious.net
Not yet published.
New Wax After self-releasing a few albums and releasing their self-titled album on Arts & Crafts in 2009, Canada's difficult-to-categorize Timber Timbre return with Creep On Creepin' On . On the new full-length, Vocalist Taylor Kirk melds his patented dark wordplay and unique voice with imaginative arrangements that successfully marry seemingly disparate genres. Take, for example, the endlessly re-playable "Black Water," a six minute track that sounds like a mash-up of swamp blues and 60's... Read Full Story
