Sounds Like	DELTA 5 - Mind Your Own Business - Man Ray Mix by killrockstars HORSE FEATHERS "CASCADES" 7" in stores oct. 21st THE RAINCOATS s/t lp reissue in stores oct. 13th! "The album is named 'Know Better Learn Faster' because you can’t," explains Thao. "By the time you realize you should, it’s too late. And I enjoy the predicament and the totally devastating, unfunny humor of that." Thao and the ever-versatile Get Down Stay Down (Adam Thompson on bass, keys and additional guitar, and Willis Thompson on drums and percussion) return with the follow up to their critically lauded and riotously applauded previous album, "We Brave Bee Stings and All", the breakout success and best-selling record of 2008 for Kill Rock Stars. With super-producer and friend Tucker Martine (The Decemberists, Bill Frisell, Spoon) again at the helm, Know Better Learn Faster perfectly captures the band as their more mature, tastefully raucous, tastefully subdued and musically adventurous selves. Honed, trimmed and tightened over the last year and a half of constant touring, the now-trio delivers Thao's cleverly crafted and emotionally evocative songs with vibrant, innovative instrumentation, incredible energy and a still-acutely-solid sense of what sounds good. The new batch of songs spans all genres and influences, all the while staying faithful to their distinct style, sharp wit, and the infectious and enamoring exuberance of their renowned live shows. PANTHER Entropy LP w/ digital download Panther is back with Entropy, an LP of new material from the prolific Portland originators of "floor dancing". This vinyl gem features more of the jerking rhythms and catchy hooks Panther fans remember from their 2008 full-length on KRS, 14kt God, but these new songs move in a E.L.O./Supertramp/Pinback-y way towards more piano-driven than guitar-driven melodies. Charles Salas-Humara and Joe Kelly create a lot of layers for a duo, building songs that allow Charlie's vocals to float ethereally into other realms, while firmly moored by Joe's solid drums. Panther have been touring the world over the past several years to exotic locales such as Beijing, St Petersburg, Moscow, Dunedin, Prague, Villafranca di Verona, and Brisbane. All the while making legions of fans with their unpredictable high energy shows and caustic pop tunes. This is 21st Century Pop Music. See them live for the full experience! This is a limited edition LP, only 500 copies will be made ever, and it comes with a download of the LP as well as EIGHT bonus tracks. **PRE-ORDER comes with a free limited edition copy of the Birds EP only available in Germany, while supplies last. THE SHAKY HANDS Let It Die CD/LP w/ digital download Let it Die is The Shaky Hand's second album on Kill Rock Stars and the first featuring new drummer Jake Morris (The Joggers, Pseudosix). Recorded immediately upon the band's return from seven weeks of supporting The Thermals' Spring US tour, Let It Die is the sound of a band at the top of their game. Armed with a solidified line-up and some of the best songs the band has written, they brought their live energy into the studio and captured it perfectly. Jay Pellicci's (Deerhoof, Erase Errata, Subtle) production is solid, immediate, and the songs sound absolutely huge. Let It Die will be a watershed record for this band on the verge. The Shaky Hands - Already Gone from Kill Rock Stars on Vimeo. PREORDERS WILL SHIP EARLY JULY!

Golden Lab Records	Nov 5 2009 10:53 PM (On its way to you right now...) *The Howling Hex Rogue Moon* Ltd LP (ROWF14)** Strictly limited to 500 copies Out Now! The only Howling Hex record to be released on a label other than Drag City. Four tracks penned by Neil Hagerty, the rest of the total twelve by a variety of unknown collaborators - all produced by Hagerty, all weird and incredible. There's bits of bizarre sound art, broken poetry, a coulda-been-a-90s-dance-anthem, rock songs, a ballad, and tons of sweet guitar playing. The title track alone is worth the price of the record, with its haunting, counter-melodic, phasing synth and guitar arrangement.
