New Music from Mount Eerie
After the tour behind his album Wind’s Poem, which is what he deemed was the “loudest album (he’s) ever made”, Phil Elverum returned to Anacortes, Washington to start working on new music. About two years later, he emerged from a church-turned-recording studio called “the Unknown” with not one new album, but two. May 2012 saw […]

Going for Adds – Ry Cooder
Ry Cooder‘s Election Special is a wake up call for the 2012 US Election. Produced by himself, this album is politically charged, from the ode to Mitt Romney’s dog “Mutt Romney Blues” to “Kool-Aid”, a song for “all the many Zimmerman’s” of the world. Where as his prior releases have him dabbling in genres such […]
Onuinu Music Video “Happy Home”
Gearing up for a West Coast/Southwest/Midwest tour with Starf*cker, as well as the release of his debut album, Onuinu‘s music is truly about to hit the dance floor.

New Track off Mount Eerie’s “Ocean Roar” – Digital Servicing Coming Soon

Prefix has recently debuted the title track from Mount Eerie‘s new album Ocean Roar, the second of two […]

New Music from Ry Cooder
Just in time for election season, Ry Cooder has released his 2nd album in two years, the aptly titled Election Special.

New Music from Onuinu – Digital Servicing Only
With Mirror Gazer due out at the end of September, we thought it’d only be fair to make another single from the hotly anticipated album available. This time, we’re servicing the closing track from the album, “Happy Home”. The track’s swirling synths and dance beat will sound familiar to those who checked out “Ice Palace”, but […]
