DETAILS AND ON SALE INFO



On Plays to Please Owen Pallett pays tribute to the songs of Toronto's Alex Lukashevsky and his band Deep Dark United. Deep Dark United's music can be described as...undescribable. But under its waves of hazy unease lay perfectly made songs that Pallett had dreamed of giving a big band treatment to ever since he and Lukashevsky bonded on tour over their mutual love of Louis Prima and Marvin Gaye.

Working with The St. Kitts Orchestra, Pallett gives the songs a huge stage to strut around on and-were it not for the mordant and contemporary wit in the lyrics-you could mistake Lukashevsky's songs for Tin Pan Alley standards. Given that, why not try dropping "I Saved a Junky Once" at your grandmother's birthday this year? Pays to Please is the seventh Pregnancy Series installment presented by States Rights Records and Slender Means Society.

This release is also produced in association with the Blocks Recording Club limited edition 10" vinyl version.

JIB KIDDER - ALL ON YALL DETAILS AND FOR SALE





It's happened. States Rights Records has folded to industry pressure. We have produced our first new fangled BIG OLD VINYL RECORD! It's true! It's a pretty excellent format. Jib Kidder's amazing album All on Yall is available on the LP + CD format!

Sometimes projects take 5 years and sometimes it is worth it. After spending many years making music with his guitar and voice and other tactile instruments Sean Yent Schuster Craig started a project that was using machines to take other musics and make something altogether new with them. The palatte for this new project became primarily the sounds of southern underground rap that would consistently be rattling out of trunks of cars all around him as he grew up in Georgia.

All on Yall is not a mash up. All on Yall is not a party record. All on Yall is not a pop culture reference joke waiting to happen. All on Yall is a RECORD. So many different iterations of the album passed through my speakers, almost always sounding complete to me; then a new version would arrive, and it would be pretty different, with some of my favorite moments missing. But new moments would arrive and make more sense. Addition by subtraction. Using his favorite tones, sounds, and rhythms like a painter would use their favorite colors or strokes. It's incredibly goofy and cliche to talk about this with the painting analogy but I've been thinking about it a lot in my brain the last week or so while listening to this album and I feel really excited about it in that way so I must use this way to talk about it.

All on Yall is the twankle and glisten that will taint your day in just the right way.

All on Yall is the first 12" vinyl record we have ever made! It's pretty incredible. With the awesome record you get the big and beautiful artwork, a cd version, and a mini wheatpasteable poster! There is also a CD only version available for the same price (its just cd in a plastic sleeve with an insert).

ALSO! The first 50 orders of All on Yall will come with a free copy of the All on Yall: Da Mixtape! After the first fifty you can add the mixtape for only two dollars. Scoop this up!

ALSO ALSO! We have copies of the new Parenthetical Girls CD, Entanglements, in our distro shop. It's a gorgeous affair. We are proud of our old friends.

Tonight is a house show and party vibe as presented by States Rights Records.
This was original supposed to be this official label showcase thing at Kelly's Olympian, but the dude who booked it did a weird flake and honestly that seemed weird and uptight and not that fun anyway.
SO, we made it a weird party.

I'm real excited.
