NEW MUSIC THIS WEEK

*IN-STORES TUESDAY SEPT 6, 2011

LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM
Seeds We Sow
lindseybuckingham.com
Dist: Universal Music Canada

“Seeds We Sow” is the new studio album from Lindsey Buckingham, his first since “Gift Of Screws” in 2008. The album is a showcase for his distinctive guitar picking style and instantly recognisable voice. The songs cover a broad spectrum from the simple guitar and vocals of the opening title track through the rockier style of “That’s The Way Love Goes” to the more complex arrangement and harmonies of “When She Comes Down”. Lindsey Buckingham recorded “Seeds We Sow” in his home studio in Los Angeles and played the majority of the instruments himself as well as mixing and producing. A new Lindsey Buckingham album is always to be treasured and “Seeds We Sow” fully lives up to the high standards he has previously set himself both as a solo artist and with Fleetwood Mac.

VARIOUS
Listen To Me: Buddy Holly
Dist: E1

Listen To Me: Buddy Holly, is an extraordinary new collection featuring contemporary takes on songs originally written and performed by the late, great Buddy Holly. Listen To Me: Buddy Holly features a remarkable line-up of artists paying tribute to the iconic work of an artist many consider to be the first true “singer/songwriter” performer of the rock ‘n’ roll era. Among those contributing brand-new recordings to the collection are Stevie Nicks, Patrick Stump, Jeff Lynne, Natalie Merchant, Imelda May, Lyle Lovett, Jackson Browne, The Fray, Cobra Starship, Brian Wilson, Chris Isaak, Pat Monahan (of Train), Zooey Deschanel, Eric Idle, and the one and only Ringo Starr.

HANK 3
Ghost to a Ghost/Guttertown, Attention Deficient Domination, Cattle Callin
www.hank3.com
Dist: Sony Music Canada

Armed with an unprecedented three brand new albums – the double-country Ghost to a Ghost/Guttertown, the doom-rock Attention Deficient Domination, and the speed-metal Cattle Callin – all to be released through his very own, just-launched label Hank3 Records. All three of Hank3’s new releases were recorded at The Haunted Ranch, Hank3’s home and studio just outside of Nashville. He wrote the bulk of the songs that appear on the 41-track Ghost to a Ghost/Guttertown, a straight-shooting country collection, flavored with Hank3’s trademark Hellbilly sound, and heavily weighted with Cajun influence and an ambient, lonesome mood. Ghost to a Ghose features guest appearances by Tom Waits, Alan King of Hellstomper, Les Claypool of Primus fame, Dave Sherman, Troy Medlin, and Hank3’s dog, Trooper. Attention Deficit Domination allows the listener into Hank3’s crunching, metal world of the heavy and the slow, complete with his renowned, fundamental percussion. The nine tracks hardly allow you to get up from the floor. The 23-track Cattle Callin features Hank3’s driving, formidable guitar attack, with instrumentation built around the auctioneering (provided by legendary auctioneers Mitch Jordan and Tim Dowler) and, in some cases, his own higher-register vocal treatment laid over the top. You’ve never heard anything like it.

THE HORRIBLE CROWS
Elsie

Dist: EMI Music Canada

Most of us know Brian Fallon as the frontman for the Gaslight Anthem, an act who started out in Jersey basements and slowly built their way up to headlining New York’s Radio City Music Hall. Despite the success Fallon has had with his main band he’s always loved decidedly less rocking acts such as the Afghan Whigs and Tom Waits. The Horrible Crowes – his new side-project alongside longtime friend Ian Perkins – is his lounge-friendly tip of the hat to the acts who have shaped another side of his musical vision.

GEORGE STRAIT
Here For A Good Time
www.georgestrait.com
Dist: Universal Music Canada

The King of Country, George Strait, releases his first new album in 2 years – HERE FOR A GOOD TIME. The title-track first single “Here For A Good Time” (his 89th career single) was written by George Strait, his son Bubba, and hit songwriter Dean Dillon. With a career spanning more than 30 years, George has the most number one singles of any artist in history including Elvis (57 to date). He has sold nearly 69 million records and was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2006.

THE DRUMS
Portamento
thedrums.com
Dist: Universal Music Canada

Emerging from Brooklyn via Florida in 2010, The Drums initially caught the ear of the indie world with their debut album Summertime. Their sophomore effort, Portamento, has gone on to sell 200,000 albums world-wide, reflecting the universal appeal of a band that toured the globe. The Drums has sold out gigs across the world, ranging countries from Thailand, Australia to Brazil. Portamento is aptly named, as it is a 17th century Italian term that denote a vocal slide between two pitches, symbolic of The Drums going from one point to another with their music.

THE JOLTS
8%
www.myspace.com/thejolts
Dist: Universal Music Canada

THE JOLTS are well known as being the best rock n roll band in Western Canada. From charting college radios across the country with every release since formation, to their numerous cross Canada tours playing every nook and cranny. The new record, 8% will be co-released on Joey Keithley’s Sudden Death records and THE JOLT’S own Haute Voltage Record. 8% is a testament to the versatility of their sound and songwriting. THE RAMONES hooks and progressions are still there but the music has evolved into being more than just a punk rock record. It flirts in the same crowd as ROSE TATTOO and MC5 as well as HANOI ROCKS and THE DAMNED. With all of these comparisons, THE JOLTS remain a sound all their own and have every town and bar in their sites to bring their supercharged rock n roll.

THE STELLAS
The Stellas
www.thestellasmusic.com
Dist: EMI Music Canada

The Stellas are an Ontario-based country music duo, introduced to country music fans right across Canada last fall as the opening act on Johnny Reid’s A Place Called Love Tour. Brad & MaryLynne Stella were also seen in the 2010 CMT talent series ‘Can You Duet’, seen weekly by 2 million viewers in the US and online in Canada at CMT.ca, on 8 episodes of the top rated show. They were selected from thousands of hopefuls for the show that featured Naomi Judd (The Judds), Big Kenny (Big and Rich), and Big Machine head Scott Borchetta (Taylor Swift, Reba). After The Stellas auditioned, Naomi Judd yelled “shows over, give them the contract now!!” The Stellas were voted 1st place by CMT viewers and came in 4th through the judges votes.

SAMANTHA SAVAGE SMITH
Tough Cookie
www.myspace.com/samanthasavage
Dist: EMI Music Canada

Samantha Savage Smith is a pixie sized, blonde, blue-eyed, knock out, visually and vocally. With a lilting voice, the songs, the skills, the confidence and enough chunky guitar riffs in her 24 year-old little finger, to instantly captivate and charm any audience. Heavily influenced by blues, jazz, and indie-rock and inspired by her love of classic interpreters such as Anita O’Day and Billie Holiday as well as present-day songsmiths like St. Vincent and Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys, the album is a nod to her musical muses, filtered through Samantha’s quirky and introspective style. Samantha gives us sparse, stripped-down accompaniments that support her pretty melodies and heart-on-her-sleeve, personal lyrics. Tough Cookie was recorded by Matheson in 2010 at his Arch Audio Studio in Calgary.

CARLETON STONE
Carleton Stone
www.carletonstone.com
Dist: Warner Music Canada

This self-titled recording was produced by Juno Award-winning artist and producer, Hawksley Workman, and recorded at Blue Rodeo’s Woodshed Studios in Toronto. The recording includes a group of Toronto A-list players including Brad Kilpatrick on drums, Derrick Brady on bass, Todd (Mr. Lonely) Lumley on keys and Burke Carroll on pedal steel, as well Zach MacLean from Stone’s road band on guitar.

YACHT
Shangri-La
teamyacht.com
Dist: F.A.B.

‘Shangri-La’, YACHT’s second album for DFA Records and the follow-up to their critically acclaimed full-length, ‘See Mystery Lights’, is the duo’s most thematically ambitious work to date, showcasing an exponential evolution in songwriting and sharp, surreal hooks. In contrast to the meditative, mantra-esque quality of their debut, ‘Shangri-La’ is a narrative work. The album explores mankind’s eternal pursuit of Utopia with a soundtrack comprised of compelling pop melodies, fiercely druggy grooves and an endlessly diverse canon of influences. The message here is that the future is a blank slate upon which anything can be imposed. Yacht has transformed themselves, taking advantage of a proper studio for the very first time and using more live instrumentation than ever before. Recording in the West Texas desert without an engineer, the duo employed a kaleidoscope of genres – ranging from disco to psychedelia, from krautrock to punk – all culminating in pure pop.
