CBR 012: Manishevitz - East to East

Just in time to soundtrack your evening walks through the chill Autumn
air, Chicago’s Manishevitz have returned with their fourth long-player; the first since 2003’s critically-lauded City Life (Jagjaguwar, 2003). On East to East, Manishevitz cruises through a set of swaggering, thoughtfully-composed rock songs, with a liberal
dose of open-ended groove structures (think Neu!) and moody pop mutations (think Roxy Music).

East to East is Catbird’s *10th* release this year (which boggles my mind). And yes, we recognize the ever-changing face of the music industry, and though we still believe very strongly in the album as a physical, tactile artifact, we realize that not every one does– and as such, we’ve put together this all-new feature: the Catbird Records MP3 Downloads Store.

I know we’ve had releases available digitally already, on iTunes and eMusic and etc., but this is a little different and, dare I say, better? Because here’s how our system works: you want the CD? $7. You want the instant gratification of a 320k MP3 download? $7. You want the the CD *PLUS* the instant gratification of a 320k MP3 download? Just add a few bucks: $10.
