www.toriamos.com
Dist: Universal Music Canada

Tori Amos’s debut on Deutsche Grammophon Night of Hunters is a 21st century song-cycle, inspired by classical music from the last 400 years. Following the idea of the classical song-cycle, Night of Hunters tells an ongoing contemporary story. Its central character is a woman ending a long relationship, allowing the listener to follow her on a journey over the course of one night to explore complex musical and emotional themes. For the first time in years Amos has placed the piano front and centre, adding an ensemble of strings and woodwinds.

Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
PEARL JAM TWENTY
www.pearljam.com
Dist: Sony Music Canada

The film, Pearl Jam Twenty, is told in big themes and bold colors with blistering sound, and chronicles the years leading up to the band’s formation, the chaos that ensued soon-after being catapulted into superstardom, their step back from the spotlight with the instinct of self-preservation, and the creation of a trusted circle that would surround them—giving way to a work culture that would sustain them. The film celebrates the freedom that allows the band to make music without losing themselves, their fans, or the music lovers they’d always been.

KASABIAN
Velociraptor!
www.kasabian.co.uk
Dist: Sony Music Canada

The follow-up to the acclaimed ‘West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum’, the new album was recorded in Leicester and mixed in San Francisco. Written and produced by Sergio Pizzorno, ‘Velociraptor!’ is a major leap forward from Britain’s biggest band.

THE JAYHAWKS
Mockingbird Time
www.jayhawksofficial.com
Dist: Universal Music Canada

During their heyday in the first half of the 1990s, The Jayhawks perfected a captivating sound that seamlessly blended the elegant folk-rock of The Byrds, the Buffalo Springfield, The Flying Burrito Brothers, and The Beach Boys. On Mockingbird Time, their eighth album, and the first with the original lineup since 1995’s Tomorrow The Green Grass, they’re once again pushing the envelope in songs and performances of rarefied dynamism and grace. The album’s shapes and textures range from the string-laden grandeur of “Hide Your Colors” and the widescreen vistas of “Tiny Arrows” to the streamlined 12- string jangle of “She Walks in So Many Ways” and the amphetamine frenzy of “High Water Blues.”

JEWEL
The Merry Goes Round
www.jeweljk.com
Dist: Universal Music Canada

Building on the success of her best-selling album, Lullaby, multi-platinum singer-songwriter Jewel is partnering with Fisher-Price to release an eagerly anticipated follow-up called ‘The Merry Goes ‘Round. The 16-track album features 12 whimsical, new Jewel storytelling originals and charming, timeless classics. The new release is tied to the birth of her first child, her job co-hosting Bravo’s reality show Platinum Hit, and the press that is happening due to these recent events. Jewel’s best-selling children’s CD, Lullaby, debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top Kid Audio chart of the week of the album’s release.

THRICE
Major/Minor
www.thrice.net
Dist: Universal Music Canada

With no real need for introduction, Thrice is known for effortlessly and continuously releasing ground – breaking records. Their eighth album Major/Minor is no exception. Much like Beggars, Major/Minor was derived in large part by jam sessions and is quite literally the brain-child of all four band members. The albums sheds light on a side of Thrice fans have yet to see. Comprised of eleven songs, the album possesses an analog warmth and organic landscape reminiscent of indie music’s predecessor; one of the biggest music trends to come from the underground in the 1990’s.

MINDLESS BEHAVIOR
#1 GIRL
www.mindlessbehavior.com
Dist: universal Music Canada

IVY
All Hours
www.thebandivy.com
Dist: Sony Music Canada

New York trio IVY release ALL HOURS, their first release since 2005’s in the Clear. The 11 tracks that comprise All Hours were written, produced and mixed by the band in their own Manhattan studio. Ivy – Parisian-born singer Dominique Durand, Andy Chase and Adam Schlesinger – began life as a lo-fi guitar-based band, but have grown more sonically adventurous with each record. The leadoff track to All Hours, “Distant Lights,” presents a slow-building, shifting soundscape with a relentless, hypnotic beat. The remaining 10 tracks maintain those unmistakable ivy melodies and hooks, but as a whole represent a bold new chapter for the band.

NEVER SHOUT NEVER
Time Travel
www.nevershoutnever.com
Dist: Warner Music Canada

While the moniker has long referred to 20-year-old Christofer Drew, it is now the name of a full band with the messy-haired singer-songwriter at its helm – and the change couldn’t have come at a better time. With six EPs and two albums under his belt, over 2.5 million Facebook fans, nearly 50 million MySpace profile views and over 157 million song plays, it’s clear that Drew has achieved breakthrough success since his first upload.

OPETH
Heritage
www.opeth.com
Dist: Warner Music Canada

The band’s roots in the doom-laden shade of occult-infused Scandinavian death metal and dark romanticism are undeniable and will never elicit apology. But the transcendent emotional and melodic heights achieved on the brilliantly titled tenth full-length Opeth album, Heritage, marks a new chapter in the storied quintet‟s career. Band leader, singer, guitarist, songwriter, and long-running consistent member Mikael Akerfeldt has reshaped the pathway forward for this artistic vehicle without sacrificing the bard won spiritualism of previous endeavors.

With the arena-ready “Drive All Night,” the swagger of “White Fences” and its epic title track, The Reckoning fulfills on the promise of the band’s first three albums, offering a powerful and memorable sound that defines the band’s ambitions clearly and makes Needtobreathe one of the most exciting bands to watch.
