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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.
