NEW MUSIC RELEASES FOR TUESDAY FEB 21, 2012

SLEIGH BELLS
Reign Of Terror

Dist: Sony Music Canada


Produced by guitarist Derek Miller, and written by Miller and singer Alexis Krauss, Reign of Terror is Sleigh Bells’ highly anticipated follow up to 2010’s Treats. An intense live energy, coupled with the continued desire to carve out new musical terrain runs throughout the new album. Packed densely with stomping beats, shredding Jackson guitar riffs, sinister ribbons of Alexis Krauss’ candy-coated vocals, and the cries of a pep rally gone terribly wrong, Reign of Terror is a record that, like its predecessor, redefines everything you think music can be.



THE CHIEFTAINS
Voice of Ages

www.thechieftains.com
Dist: Universal Music Canada



The Chieftains are a Grammy-winning Irish musical group founded in 1962, best known for being one of the first bands to make Irish traditional music popular around the world. The Chieftains celebrate their 50th anniversary with Voice of Ages, an album of collaborations including songs recorded with The Civil Wars, Bon Iver, The Decemberists and Imelda May. The album was produced by Chieftains chieftain Paddy Moloney, along with T-Bone Burnett.



SINEAD O’CONNOR
How About I Be Me (And You Be You)?

www.sineadoconnor.com
Dist: Universal Music Canada



SINEAD O’CONNOR releases her 9th studio album in a career spanning 25 years! Perfect for celebrating her silver jubilee, produced by long- term collaborator John Reynolds, its ten tracks play like an encyclopaedic definition of O’Connor’s oeuvre: songs about love and loss, hope and regret, pain and redemption, anger and justice. The album contains all original tracks all self and co-written bar one cover of John Grant’s “Queen of Denmark”. Both icon and iconoclast, Sinead O’Connor has been making music, rejecting stereotypes and defying expectations for more than a quarter century.



DIRTY GHOSTS
Metal Moon

dirtyghosts.com
Dist: Universal Music Canada



Dirty Ghosts' mix of grit and glitz aligned favorably with that of au courant buzz bands like The Kills and Sleigh Bells, while hearkening back to indie rock’s most dynamic duo, Royal Trux are releasing their 1st full length “Metal Moon.” Built around the intricate drum loops pieced together by Aesop Rock these two Toronto expats Allyson Baker and Carson Binks, now residing in San Francisco, had an early recording of the 21st-blaxploitation groover "Battle Slang" that got the band some notice on Pitchfork, Exclaim, and other national music sites.



COURAGE MY LOVE
For Now EP

www.ilovecouragemylove.com
Dist: Warner Music Canada



Courage My Love is a female-fronted pop-punk/rock trio from Kitchener, Ontario, consisting of 18-year-old twin sisters Mercedes Arn-Horn (guitar/lead vocals) & Phoenix Arn-Horn (drums/vocals) and David Blake-Dickson (bass/back-up vocals). Courage My Love does not ask to be noticed, they demand it! Whether it’s on stage winning a Battle of The Bands contest (how they were discovered), electrifying crowds on the Vans Warped tour, creating their own label (Homeskool Prom), recording a mostly weekly podcast (Homeskool Detention) or making fans out of the likes of director Kevin Smith, CML does it all on their own terms. The release of their debut EP, For Now, gives credence to that ethos while their videos for “Bridges,” which has close to 300k views on YouTube, and “Barricade,” which was added to both MuchMusic and Musique Plus and has over 58k views, capture all of the fun and energy fans have come to expect from the band.



ELVIS COSTELLO
The Return of the Spectacular Spinning Songbook

http://www.elviscostello.com/
Dist: Universal Music Canada



The CD includes recordings culled from both nights’ performances. Shows which The LA Times applaud as “the kind of uniquely invigorating experience that warrants a buzzword all its own: inspiring”. The DVD contains footage from Costello’s show on May 12, 2011 and includes Special guest appearance by the Bangles and behind-the-scenes moments captured with the Imposters. The CD also features tracks from his latest, critically acclaimed release National Ransom, plus new renditions of hits, rarities and very unexpected covers.



FUN.
Some Nights

www.ournameisfun.com
Dist: Warner Music Canada



Having earned widespread acclaim with their 2009 debut album, "Aim And Ignite," Fun. decided to raise the stakes with this album, their first on Fueled By Ramen, by teaming with noted producer Jeff Bhasker (Kanye West, Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, Beyonce, Drake). The first single from "Some Nights," "We Are Young (Feat. Janelle Monáe) has generated quite a buzz. USA Today applauded the "baroque indie-popsters" for "(making) a counterintuitive play for the big time, slowing down for the massive singalong chorus."



THE FRONT BOTTOMS
The Front Bottoms

www.thefrontbottoms.com
Dist: Warner Music Canada



The Front Bottoms are a crazy mix of opposites that attract: acoustic guitar meets driving drums, gonzo lyrics that are also heartfelt, punk rock with hipster dance grooves. The Front Bottoms self-titled debut album is already showing up on lots of year end Best of 2011 lists as well as garnering tons of radio support. The duo got their start playing all ages shows in the New Jersey underground rock scene and now they’re opening slots on tours by Kevin Devine, Say Anything and Dashboard Confessional. Songs like “Maps”, “Swimming Pool” “Flashlight” and “The Beers” have been spreading as viral videos and fans are tattooing themselves with Front Bottoms song lyrics and spreading the word on tumblr. The Front Bottoms will be playing Canadian dates in March.



GALACTIC
Carnivale Electronicos

www.galacticfunk.com
Dist: F.A.B.



Galactic was form eighteen years ago in New Orleans; the band cut their teeth playing the biggest party in America, Mardi Gras. Carnivale Electronicos is the sound of that party, it’s a carnival record that evoked the primal, electric atmosphere of a whole city vibrating together to one beat, in a seismic wave that runs from New Orleans down through the Carribbean to the southern hemisphere and the mighty megacarnivals of Brazil. That’s the kind of connection Galactic wanted to make with Carnivale Electronicos: to draw together the carnival spirit of worldwide celebration into one ecstatic, funky union.
