Jack Rose and White Hills albums Out Now

Our newest releases this month are the Jack Rose album, Luck In The Valley, and White Hills' self-titled album.

Jack Rose was an incredible guitar player. His technical prowess and his ability to incorporate elements of raga and drone into the traditions of American blues and bluegrass were unmatched.

But more important was his unique ability to infuse his personality and humor into purely instrumental music, and what a personality it was. Luck In The Valley is Jack Rose at his best, surrounded by like-minded friends on a recording that is enriched by a sense of history but entirely new, vibrant and warm.

NPR's Weekend Edition featured Jack Rose on the occasion of the new album, including interviews with Jack, Byron Coley, Glenn Jones and Espers. You can listen to the story as well as an extended interview with Jack here.

White Hills is the trio of Dave W., Ego Sensation and Kid Millions. Their music is a deep-space blast of sonic fuzz and heavy psych. White Hills' self-titled album follows the Heads on Fire LP released Thrill Jockey last year and the "Dead" 12" released from last fall, both of which sold out immediately upon release.

"White Hills have shaken up the space-rock box, and shown that the patterns you can make therein are as infinite as the stars." - The Quietus

White Hills was recorded in the summer of 2009 at The Ocropolis, Oneida's studio located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. All drums on the album were played by Kid Millions of Oneida. The album is loose and open, with a focus on capturing the emotion in the playing and stands apart from previous White Hills records in its intimacy, toughness and brutality.

White Hills will be touring Europe with Pontiak, with a US tour to follow

The Chicago Underground Duo, Pit Er Pat and Robert AA Lowe & Rose Lazar

January new releases this month by The Chicago Underground Duo, Pit Er Pat and Robert AA Lowe & Rose Lazar.

The Chicago Underground Duo is Rob Mazurek and Chad Taylor, the nucleus of a collective that has now released ten albums and has been a driving force of jazz and avant-garde music in the city for more than a decade.

Boca Negra is the first Chicago Underground album to be recorded outside of Chicago, and captures broader palettes of sound and ranges of nuance, all reminders of the value of a change of scenery to keep things fresh. The New York Times calls it, "the rare jazz album that gets deep into the possibilities," and All About Jazz says "Boca Negra is a delight to get lost in."

Pit Er Pat have re-configured themselves as a duo, relocated themselves to Los Angeles and reimagined their sound to match. The result on The Flexible Entertainer is the band's most dance oriented, beat driven record to date, a completely new and distinct Pit Er Pat style perfect to warm your winter spirits.

"It's the most instantly rewarding Pit Er Pat album yet, and deserves to take the duo to a new level of recognition."- BBC

Robert AA Lowe & Rose Lazar's new album Eclipses picks up where their artbook and CD release Gyromancy left off, along the synth driven soundscapes very similar to those found on Lowe's recent solo release Fazo IV… LP (Rainbow Body), accompanied by a 12"x36" art print match.

The music on Eclipses was recorded at home by Lowe utilizing semi-modular and polyphonic analogue synthesizers hearkening back to the Kraut rock days of Cluster or NEU! Lowe and Lazar create cosmic layers of music and mind-altering landscapes, blessed out travels in sound and vision.
