Catbird Records Tee 2009

For a limited-time, we're taking orders for a new Catbird Records T-Shirt (it's #4)! Black with silver ink! Order while you can!

CSP 008 Unbunny Black Strawberries Limited-Edition 180g LP A very special limited-edition (300) vinyl pressing of one of my favorite albums. Originally released on CD in 2002 by New Hampshire's Two-Ton Santa label, this is its first time ever on vinyl, and marks Catbird's first successful Kickstarter project. Over half of these are already gone via pre-order, so nab one while you can!

CSP 009 Fulton Lights Healing Waters The unstoppable Andrew Goldman soldiers on with yet another powerhouse Fulton Lights release. Falling somewhere between an EP and an LP ("Maxi-EP?" "Mini-LP?"), Healing Waters finds Fulton Lights moving ever sonically forward-- this time by incorporating all the varied musical textures that Goldman has mastered in his nearly decade-long career.

An unexpected "warehouse find" of sorts has dropped a nice summertime surprise in our laps: We've got the long out-of-print CBR003: Hemstad CD available once again! It's one of the most popular releases in our history, and I guarantee it to be the best disc sounding like Bob Hund meets the Go Team at a glammed-out instrumental Swedish psychedelic tweaker rave that you'll hear all week.

CSP 007 Apollo Ghosts Hastings Sunrise This is easily one of the most favoritest albums of the year around Catbird HQ, so when the band suggested that Catbird rerelease it (they sold out their initial pressing of 300 LPs), it was a no-brainer! It's going to become one of your most favoritest too. CD, digital, *and* limited-edition 180g LP.		CBR 017 Apollo Ghosts Forgotten Triangle EP As if the overwhelming goodness of Hastings Sunrise's 14 songs weren't enough Apollo Ghosts for the world, they also recorded a brand new, 5-song EP for Catbird-- and these songs are every bit as good. You probably need to order both Apollo Ghosts releases, is what you need.
CSP 006 Jason Zumpano Roses $9.99 Dozen The second artistic collaboration, as with 2007's In the Co. of Ghosts, that finds Jason working alongside a visual artist to create a package that's equal parts music and art. This time around, Jason teamed up with Vancouver's Shayne Ehman, and wrote 12 original piano compositions accompanying/inspired by Shayne's artwork.		CBR 016 George Washington Brown EP Lovely English indiepop, from the rolling hills of Sunderland. Time was, GWB (née J Xaverre, née Pete X, née Johnny X, (aka Pete Gofton)) was a'drumming and a'strumming for Kenickie with a punky bratitude. But 10 years on, the old boy's sensibility has sweetened toward a gentler, golden honeyed pop sound. If you don't like these tunes, your ears are broken.
CSP 005 Fulton Lights The Way We Ride Andrew Goldman and Co. sweep back the dense orchestral layering in favor of a stripped-down, lean and mean approach. Melding the faded strums of music past with an austere technological bent, it's like a team of robot scientists trying to piece together a Sergio Leone Western from dusty celluloid remnants, circa 2208 A.D.		CBR 015 Forest Fire Survival Brooklyn's Forest Fire returns with a full-length follow-up to last year's sold-out Psychic Love Star EP. With some great new songs, and with some great new players joining them, FF have refined and enriched their singular "homegrown hymn" flavor-- and crafted a short and sweet new album to add to your running list of "favorite new albums.
CBR 010 Moviola Dead Knowledge The mighty Moviola's latest (their 7th album in 12 years) is a satisfying, 16-song slab of timeless, cosmic American music. Limited Edition (200) includes a DVD featuring 5 videos, photo slideshow, and unreleased demos. Grab a seat, have a pull from our bottle, and kick back. Feel free to put your feet up on the coffee table. Ties would be loosened if any of us wore ties.		CBR 012 Manishevitz East To East It's the fourth long-player from Chicago's Manishevitz, and 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).
CBR 008 Mathew Sawyer & The Ghosts Blue Birds Blood Mathew Sawyer is an internationally respected visual artist, vintage ukelele aficionado, and one-time drummer for the Television Personalities. He's also responsible for Blue Birds Blood, 12 tracks of pure punk'd up, folk'd out, lo-fi love songs. Jewel-cased edition. First 200 orders include a 3-song bonus CD, in hand-screened sleeve.		CBR 006 Maestro Echoplex Last Night I Saw God On The Dancefloor Originally self-released in 2001, Last Night received accolades from the BBC, the Village Voice, Time Out NY, the Washington Post, and more, but due to lack of good distribution channels, the disc always remained extremely hard to find. Catbird is proud to re-release Last Night, complete with a newly-designed letterpressed case. See also: Fulton Lights.
