Few things are harder to wrangle in the land of DIY than a firm release date for vinyl. You give ample time, even push back the release date to be safe. And then the test pressings take longer than you’d hoped and two weeks before your release date you’re told it’ll be another 3 weeks until you get the records. SO.. we’re beyond excited to get the new KvS record—Broken But Not Undone—out to the world, just going to be a few days before we can send the vinyl out (complete w/ Kurt’s homemade jackets). Please don’t be deterred!!! We’ll gladly send you the MP3s in the meantime if you purchase the vinyl. It’s a good one, now come get it.
Video for the first single—Those That Know—off the new Kurt von Stetten album Broken, But Not Undone. Dig it… then question why you ever entertained the notion of going art / music school. Dummy.
We’re more than a little excited about this one. Kurt’s second of the calendar year, Broken, but not undone is a return to the sort of homemade indie rock that’s been lost in the din of quasi-talented folks with way too many tools at their disposal. Yeah, I said it. It’s a good one, we promise. #fuckbobpollard
Kurt von Stetten’sL.A.R.P (from 2011’s Cyclops), as well as Sargasso in Space and Where Things Go to Fade by The Longwalls (from 2011’s Careers in Science) are all being featured this month on a certain MTV reality show… that will remain nameless. More info here.
More love for Kurt von Stetten’s latest, Androlafi! The Noise calls it “Music that shouts to be heard.” Why thank you. And the lovely folks at Golden Mixtape say it’s “An indie delight.” All in a day’s work.
Love from across the pond sounds like this: “Almost taking us back to the very birth of modern guitar music. This is the complete antithesis of so called “manufactured pop”. Naturally it’ll sell a fraction of what that will, but we’d choose this any day.” That’s The Sound of Confusion on Androlafi, the new record by Kurt von Stetten. Right on.
For Kurt von Stetten’s new album, Androlafi, the word is in. And the word is good. Something Daily called the album, “Terrific, all over the place, and quite unlike anything else I’ve heard so far this year.” Visions of the Unexcused says, “Listening to von Stetten’s music is like ingesting a drug for the first time. As your psyche ascends towards the initial drop you release yourself for what’s to come.” Yowza! Get some!
No rest.. we’ve got The Longwalls CD release show for Kowloon coming up Saturday, January 26! We’ve also got the release of Kurt von Stetten’s new one, Androlafi, coming up Tuesday, February 19th. In addition we’ve got some song placements coming up on MTV and Dan London is hard at work on his next one. 2013 in like a lion.
