Doherty Taps Astralwerks For Delivery Of New Babyshambles LP

Astralwerks made the following announcement this morning...

ASTRALWERKS TO RELEASE BABYSHAMBLES ALBUM

Astralwerks is proud to announce the addition of Babyshambles to their roster. The London quartet, led by former Libertines frontman Pete Doherty, will release their sophomore album entitled Shotter’s Nation on October 23, 2007.

...and we totally read it as "Astralwerks is proud to announce the addiction of Babyshambles..." Honestly. In any event, after listening to the hey-that's-pretty-good Shotter's track "Delivery," it's entirely possible the new Babyshambles record could put the Pete-likes-crack punchlines on hold for awhile. Especially since it now appears his cat's the real crackhead in the family.

Raleigh-via-Eau Clair BTW Megafaun debuted impressively earlier this year with Bury The Square. The trio nip-and-tuck experimental tendencies (tape splicing, white noise colliding with banjo, junkyard-laced spring reverb, screeching feedback at the tail end of a quiet back porch lament)...

Horse Feathers - "Father"

Portland songwriter Justin Ringle's evocative vocal twang and sharp lyricism are at the center of Horse Feathers' bedroom Americana. The band's second album House With No Home, which follows 2006's Words Are Dead, finds Ringle's vision fleshed out by multi-instrumentalist/composer...
