Hear the first single from Dent May's forthcoming album Warm Blanket out Aug. 27 on Paw Tracks

STREAM: Dent May - "Born Too Late"  Dent May previously shared a teaser video for this upcoming new album, Warm Blanket. Now, you can hear the first single from the album, "Born Too Late," over at The FADER.  About Dent May: Warm Blanket is the third album from Mississippi songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Dent May. Recorded in solitude in a reportedly haunted Victorian house by the bay in St. Augustine, Florida, the album arrives just barely a year after the release of his previous LP, Do Things. Dent's most ambitious undertaking yet, Warm Blanket is another kaleidoscopic odyssey through the restless musical mind of a DIY pop auteur. He played almost all of the instruments on the album, making use of the house's antique grand piano and recruiting Florida locals to fill in on horns, strings, and pedal steel guitar. The result is an album of existential pop, psychedelic funk, and melancholy soul with soaring arrangements ripped from the pages of classic American songwriting. Lyrically, Dent investigates life's timeless mysteries, touching on youth, mortality, alienation, and unrequited love with startling honesty and humor. A delightful mix of organic textures, analog synth squiggles, inventive vocal melodies, and sincere wordplay, Warm Blanket is a bold step forward for an artist who shows no signs of slowing down.    DENT MAY    06/24 - Fargo, ND - The Aquarium  06/25 - Iowa City, IA - The Mill +  06/26 - Columbus, OH - Ace of Cups +    + = w/ Dead Gaze Dent May  Warm Blanket (Paw Tracks) Street Date: August 27, 2013 Formats: CD / LP / Digital     1.

Majical Cloudz FREE streaming Impersonator in its entirety #freestreaming

Did you catch Majical Cloudz at Chicago's Metro last night?! Devon Welsh of MAJICAL CLOUDZ Photo Credit: Denis Nazarov In anticipation of the release of their Matador debut next Tuesday, May 21st, Majical Cloudz are streaming Impersonator in it's entirety on Pitchfork Advance. Click Here To Stream Impersonator  Comprised of Devon Welsh and Matthew Otto, Majical Cloudz have been receiving praise for their intense, vocally driven songs and their intimate, powerful live show.  New single "Bugs Don't Buzz" garnered a Best New Track from Pitchfork, who write how it's, "defined by its directness--that Devon Welsh is singing to you, or, if you present this song to a loved one, it's you singing to them. It's indeed a love song that feels like a confession of a devotion that one wouldn't feel comfortable sharing with more than one person."  Click Here To Download "Bugs Don't Buzz" In a recent interview with the duo, Stereogum write, "it’s hard to imagine that anyone will release an album this year as lovely - or as harrowingly intimate - as Majical Cloudz’s soon-to-be-released debut, Impersonator." SPIN compare the pair as a cross between James Blake and Antony Hegarty, calling "Bugs Don't Buzz" "incredibly intense." NYC Peeps Click Here For Glasslands Record Release Show Ticket Link Currently finishing a national tour with Youth Lagoon, Majical Cloudz will be playing a record release show at Brooklyn's Glasslands on May 21st with support from Gobby and unannounced surprise guests, a special live set after the duo's two sold out New York dates last week. They will also be playing select dates with Grizzly Bear this summer, as well as sets at Montreal's Osheaga Festival and later at Hopscotch Music Festival, with all dates below.  Remaining Summer Tour Dates / 5/16: Majestic Theater, Madison, WI * 5/17: Fine Line, Minneapolis, MN * 5/20: Other Music (8 PM - Free,) New York, NY 5/21: Glasslands, Brooklyn, NY # 6/18: The Fillmore at Jackie Gleason, Miami Beach, FL @ 6/19: The Ritz Ybor, Tampa, FL @ 8/02: Osheaga Festival, Montreal, QC 9/07: Hopscotch Music Festival, Raleigh, NC   * with Youth Lagoon # with Gobby and Special Guests @ with Grizzly bear Quotes / "A patient, minimal sound that avoids the pitfalls of style or genre by subscribing to none at all. It's something many artists strive for but few achieve. 'Childhood's End' is one of the most compelling and singular attempts at it I've heard in some time-- calmly expressive, charged and moving."  Pitchfork "It's hard to imagine that anyone will release an album this year as lovely - or as harrowingly intimate - as Majical Cloudz' soon-to-be-released debut, Impersonator." Stereogum "James Blake meets Antony Hegarty" SPIN "The gritty lyrics fill every corner of the song, and those who weren't aware of Welsh's commanding presence soon will be."  Billboard "The track relies on little more than some methodical strings, the low rumble of percussion, and Welsh’s voice. But in the all-but-barren soundscape, Welsh’s baritone is rich with the ache of forlorn, eschewing words in some sections to transcend into pure, unfettered emotion." Consequence of Sound "Haunting debut...clear, even, rich and utterly transfixing" Village Voice "The ten torchy, moody songs on the upcoming follow-up, Impersonator, embed Welsh’s Michael Hutchence-esque tenor voice in arrangements that smooth out II’s rough, busy edges and replace them with a mannered but warm electronic minimalism. The album is sure to amplify the buzz surrounding the group by several notches at least." Chicago Reader "It's pleasing in the most elemental way possible, luxuriating in deep emotional focus as he trains his voice on melody lines that are catchy for the very reason that they're smartly simple." FADER "Welsh's deep, charismatic voice over simple, catchy and melancholic melodies makes Majical Cloudz a band worth getting excited about." Interview Magazine Impersonator Tracklisting / 01.

A PALE HORSE NAMED DEATH Debut New Song on Noisecreep #metal #freestreaming

Lay My Soul to Waste Available May 21st on Steamhammer/SPV

Chill Live Shows got a press preview of the whole album and our initial gut reaction was great.  Several of the track are out now, so check it out and see what you think.   We've been DIY busting out plaster & lathe and drywalling a room, and this was an excellent sonic assault to accompany the work.  We need to spend a bit more time with the new material to be objective, and we'll have a full review up shortly.  

A PALE HORSE NAMED DEATH will release their sophomore album Lay My Soul to Waste May 21st in North America on Steamhammer/SPV. Once again the artwork was commissioned by Sam Shearon, who is also responsible for artwork on the band's first release And Hell Will Follow Me.

Today the band has teamed up with Noisecreep to debut another track from from Lay My Soul to Waste entitled "Killer By Night". Get a first listen to the song HERE.

Revolver Magazine is streaming the track "Shallow Grave" HERE.

On the surface, A PALE HORSE NAMED DEATH are impressive. But you'll want to dig deeper and immerse yourself in all the sonic and lyrical layers, because the band isn't afraid to plume the depths of darkness that humanity is capable of. It's murky stuff, but someone has to do it.

Sal Abruscato and Matt Brown have followed 2011's incredible introduction And Hell Will Follow Me with Lay My Soul to Waste, which keeps the band's patented signature formula of slow, deliberate sludge and head-down doom intact and as flawlessly executed as ever.
Think Alice in Chains, only harder, angrier and with a more perverse view of the world, as if they were reared in a row house in Bensonhurst, as opposed to the rainy landscape of Seattle, all the while feasting on a steady diet of Black Sabbath records.

A PALE HORSE NAMED DEATH arrived with And Hell Will Follow Me. They have firmly implanted their roots in the metal scene with Lay My Soul to Waste. It's a metal album that headbangers who enjoy a walk on the darker side of life will end up revering and responding to.

Lay My Soul to Waste can be pre-ordered on Amazon on both CD and LP.

Lay My Soul to Waste Tracklisting:
1) Lay My Soul to Waste
2) Shallow Grave
3) The Needle in You
4) In the Sleeping Death
5) Killer by Night
6) Growing Old
7) Dead of Winter
8) Devil Came With a Smile
9) Day of the Storm
10) DMSLT
11) Cold Dark Mourning

Toronto native Daniel Benjamin and collaborator/co-conspirator Maddy Wilde have been making music together for most of their lives; as Moon King, the two singers weave dreamlike harmonies over buzz-saw guitars and electronic percussion, their live performances capturing a raw-nerve intensity that verges on ecstatic. Many of Daniel’s songs appeal to our darker subconscious desires, reveling in the embrace of fear and ego as a means of escape.

Moon King have toured with Fucked Up & Twin Sister since the release of their debut 12" EP this past summer, and are planning to release a follow-up EP Obsession II in May 2013 on One Big Silence, the label run by Mike Haliechuk of Fucked Up. Daniel has also been touring as a member of his brother Airick's project Doldrums.
