SUMMARY:Tall Heights
DESCRIPTION:About Tall Heights \nTall Heights have relentlessly built a career from the ground up. Starting as buskers on the streets of Boston and now performing in packed venues across North America\, Europe\, and beyond\, the duo has distilled their sound in an organic and unselfconscious way. The unmistakable DNA of their music draws on many elements\, but the blend of their two distinct voices\, in both harmony and unison\, is what elevates it and separates it from the pack. \nHailing from the Boston area\, Paul Wright and Tim Harrington met each other in their hometown of Sturbridge through Tim’s older brother. The friendship blossomed in high school when they both took up the guitar and began working on music together. It didn’t take long for them to see the potential hidden in these casual jam sessions. As Paul recalls\, “Tim transformed from kid brother to musical collaborator over the course of a summer.” \nTall Heights is now set to release two highly-anticipated singles\, ‘Keeps Me Light’ and ‘Under Your Skin’\, both mixed by Grammy-nominated engineer Damien Lewis. Following on the success of their viral single ‘Spirit Cold’\, this new material captures a similar authentic and meaningful energy\, but also shows a side we have not yet seen of the pair. The self-produced project\, recorded in their simple home studio\, captures that raw moment between albums\, delivering some of their most honest and heartfelt work to date. Written and recorded in a reflective lull between hectic periods of touring\, the new tracks reaffirm Tall Heights’ commitment to a singular sound and an equally rare friendship. \nCombining Paul’s lifetime of classical training\, Harrington’s spontaneous artistic instincts\, and the prismatic union of their unique voices\, Tall Heights’ sonic imprint is in a category all its own. \nTall Heights’ recordings have amassed over 275 million streams. They regularly serve as Ben Folds’ backing band\, and have toured alongside CAKE\, Judah & the Lion\, Colony House\, and The Paper Kites. They’ve also performed on both Conan in 2016 and CBS Saturday Morning in 2018. ‘Under Your Skin’ and ‘Keeps Me Light’ are due for release fall 2019.

SUMMARY:SUSTO
DESCRIPTION:About SUSTO \nMobility has always helped define America. Don’t settle for where you start. Find a new town\, new coast\, or new state of mind — then make it yours. “We export this idea of getting in your car and going somewhere\, trying to find something new\, bouncing around\,” says Justin Osborne. “We live in some strange\, crazy times. There is a sense of darkness. But I’m crisscrossing the country\, and people are good and fun. There is a lot of beauty everywhere. I think not forgetting that is important.” \nOsborne is home in Charleston\, South Carolina\, reflecting on the personal journey and cultural climate that have led to Ever Since I Lost My Mind\, the third record and label debut for his acclaimed project SUSTO. The album is a resounding triumph: a mix of new partnerships and collaborations with old friends\, all anchored by Osborne’s perceptive songs that explore connection\, loss\, and transience — and the pain and joy each brings. \n“Ever Since I Lost My Mind is very personal. This collection of songs came together over the course of a couple of years\, and they all represent different moments\,” he says. “It felt cathartic writing all of them\, and they were also all fun in different ways.” \nWith a rock-rooted sound that doesn’t shy away from radio-ready hooks\, SUSTO keeps listeners engaged by refusing to occupy an easily defined space. Produced by Ian Fitchuck (Kacey Musgraves\, Ruston Kelly) and featuring key input from Osborne’s longtime creative sounding board Wolfgang Zimmerman\, Ever Since I Lost My Mind defiantly experiments with synth embellishments\, Latin heart\, guileless folk\, and more. Osborne’s mellow vocals comfort without losing the ability to surprise — delicate croons\, growls\, and occasional screams take turns. \nThat acceptance of himself and others may be SUSTO‘s defining trait. “I can lose my mind on stage sometimes — I will break down and cry or have to keep myself from doing it\,” Osborne says. “I think about my grandad’s guitar\, all the bands I’ve been in\, and just seeing these people responding to and connecting with the songs…” He trails off before grinning again and adding\, “I just feel so incredibly lucky.”

SUMMARY:Martin Sexton
DESCRIPTION:About Martin Sexton \n“The real thing\, people.” -Billboard \nIn 2020 American singer-songwriter Martin Sexton extends touring in support of his ninth studio release Mixtape of the Open Road. The Wall Street Journal and CMT premiered tracks from the album that since garnered much critical acclaim. “Outstanding taste in songwriting as well as a soul-marinated voice.” -Rolling Stone \nSyracuse native Sexton got his start singing in the streets and subways of Boston in the early 90’s. Still fiercely independent and headlining venues from The Fillmore to Carnegie Hall\, he has influenced a generation of contemporary artists. His songs have appeared in television series such as Scrubs\, Parenthood\, Masters of Sex and in numerous films\, though it’s his incendiary live show\, honest lyrics\, and vocal prowess that keep fans coming back for more. \nAbout Keller & Cole: \nListen | Watch Video \nIndianapolis-based indie folk duo Keller&Cole have been crafting sincere\, powerfully emotive songs together since 2014. With a reputation for electrifying and intimate performances\, Landon Keller and Kara Cole are preparing their most ambitious musical move to date with the 2020 release of their stunning new EP\, LOVE DRUNK ALCHEMY. The title track of the EP is released on January 21\, 2020. \nKeller&Cole have shared stages with the likes of Lera Lynn\, Lily & Madeleine\, Josh Kaufman and others in addition to performing over 350 headlining shows across the midwestern US. With the release of LOVE DRUNK ALCHEMY\, the duo are certainly poised to find their widest audience yet.

SUMMARY:We Were Promised Jetpacks
DESCRIPTION:About We Were Promised Jetpacks \nSometimes you have to go back to basics in order to find yourself again. This is something Scottish rock band We Were Promised Jetpacks realized over the course of creating their fourth full-length album\, The More I Sleep The Less I Dream. \nAfter the musicians finished touring 2014’s Unravelling\, they decamped home to Scotland and took a breath. They reverted to their original four members and dealt with several behind the scenes changes. They celebrated a few marriages and tried to remember who they were when not on the road. A decision was made. No more touring until a new album had been written. \nIt wasn’t until early 2018 that they finally felt they had a collection of songs they were proud of. But only after taking a few wrong turns along the way. \n“The first batch of songs were written for the wrong reason\,” Mike says. “We put a lot of pressure on ourselves and ended up writing a certain kind of song. Focusing more on choruses and structure\, trying to simplify everything.” \n“We scrapped probably a full album\,” Adam adds. “Something just felt off about them. They didn’t work at all.” So\, they regrouped. Instead of focusing on external expectations\, they decided to write for themselves. To write songs that made them happy. \n“The More I Sleep\, The Less I Dream” was one of the first songs to help shift the band in the right direction. It didn’t take long to write with all members quickly connecting with its darker vibe. “All of the songs we scrapped were very calculated\, whereas this song just flowed. It was instinctive. That gave us the confidence to believe that we could actually do this\, just the four of us\,” Mike notes. “After that everything else just clicked.” \n“I’m glad we got that out of our system.” Adam says. “A lot of the songs on the album are a reaction to that. We wouldn’t have arrived at them without going the wrong way first.” \nFrom there\, they focused on making sure each song was fully realized before even thinking about studios or recording. After meeting up regularly and writing constantly at their rehearsal space in Leith\, Edinburgh for two years\, the band made sure they knew all of their songs inside out. Every single detail of everyone’s parts poured over\, refined\, built on. “We didn’t want to fall back on studio tricks or extra sounds\,” Mike says. “If it wasn’t right in the room\, then it wasn’t right. If a section needed to sound bigger we’d have to find a way to make it sound bigger live in the room. No excuses.” \nThe musicians connected with producer Jonathan Low (The National\, Sufjan Stevens\, Kurt Vile\, The War on Drugs) and were inspired by his approach to their vision and his grounded style. After making their prior albums in England\, Scotland and Iceland\, it felt like a good opportunity to try crafting songs in the U.S. The album was recorded over the course of five weeks at Minor Street in Philadelphia and Long Pond in New York’s Hudson Valley in early 2018. The preparation turned out to be essential\, helping the musicians keep each song simple and minimal. “Jon was totally onboard with us only adding things that underlined what we wrote together in the rehearsal space. We wanted it to sound like it was alive and he really helped us realize that” Adam says. \nLyrically\, The More I Sleep The Less I Dream reflects a group of people who have grown up since they first emerged on the scene with These Four Walls in 2009. During the making of this album all four members turned 30\, and felt like vastly different people to the four 20-year-olds that they were when they first started releasing music. Concepts of miscommunication and self-doubt thread throughout the songs\, beginning with the surge of the album’s opening track “Impossible”\, carrying through to the emotionally wrought\, slow-burner “Hanging In”\, and onwards to the relentless drive of “Repeating Patterns” and the menacing album closer “The More I Sleep\, The Less I Dream.” \n“The album is so much about us going back to our basics and relying on our instincts.” Mike says. “There’s a range of songs that span everything we do as a band\, and we’re the connection between them. It feels like this album is us.” \nThe More I Sleep The Less I Dream marks a new chapter in We Were Promised Jetpacks’ career. It’s about going back to the heart of who they are\, a high school band that never stopped. It’s about four people who have grown up together\, making a conscious choice to keep writing music and seeing where that takes them. \nSometimes you must go back to basics in order to find yourself again. But once you have\, then what? It’s one thing to say you want to take a step forward\, it’s a much more daunting prospect actually doing so. The More I Sleep The Less I Dream contains the essence of what the band have grown into\, both as artists and as people. They’ve taken their experiences\, both from their ten years as a touring band and from the changes in their personal lives and forged them into an album that represents a new phase for the band.

SUMMARY:The Why Store: Life on Planet Six Ball 20th Anniversary
DESCRIPTION:About The Why Store \nThe Why Store was formed in the late 1980s in Muncie\, Indiana. In 1993\, the band independently recorded Welcome to the Why Store. One year later the band recorded Inside the Why Store. Both albums were locally successful\, and The Why Store began getting attention from record labels. In 1995\, The Why Store signed to MCA’s subsidiary Way Cool Music for their first major-label effort\, a self-titled LP\, which was released in 1996. \nTheir major label debut on MCA Records spawned several hits. The first single\, “Lack Of Water”\, was a #1 hit on Triple-A Radio; the band performed “Surround Me” on Late Night with Conan O’ Brien and saw their video for “Father” receive rotation on MTV2 and VH1. The Why Store was a Top 20 album for 1996 and went on to sell 200\,000 copies. \nThe Why Store split up in 2000 citing creative differences\, though each member has continued onto different projects\, most notably Shaffer who has recorded several solo disks as well as recording with his first post-Why Store band\, Shaffer Street. \nIn 2007\, Shaffer reincarnated The Why Store with an exciting new album called VIM. Produced by Rusty Anderson\, Paul McCartney’s long time guitarist\, VIM showcases Chris’s passionate songwriting and refreshingly edgy vocal ability. “It was a magical experience\, definitely the best thing I’ve ever done\,” says Shaffer. \nIn 2016\, The Why Store released a Live album Live at the Slippery Noodle featuring “Everybody” and SIX previously unreleased tracks available at shows\, their website\, CD Baby or iTunes. \nOnce again … The Why Store is officially\, open for business…
