Track Listing: Heavy Early is Craig Smithʼs new record, which he proudly says is a “classic
two-sider vinyl kind of album where the full weight is best felt after hearing both
sides”. Edgier and moodier than his debut “Not Sure, Not Sureʼ, ʻHeavy Earlyʼ
contains highly personal narratives of alienated characters searching for someone
or something to connect with and finding hope - all set to a melodic and often
joyous swagger of loud guitars, pumping drums and keyboards intertwined with
little acoustic songs that give Heavy Early a cognitive dissonance - a vinyl album

“The goal was to push my brain to places it didnʼt want to go. The idea was to not have any
idea – to keep myself confused about what I was doing,” frontman Will Sheff says about
Track Listing: Okkervil Riverʼs newest album. The resulting record, I Am Very Far, is a startling break
from anything this band has done before. By turns terrifying and joyous, violent and
serene, grotesque and romantic, itʼs a celebration of forces beyond our control.
Sheff emerged from the writing process with 30 or so songs, which he narrowed down to
18. In contrast to Okkervil Riverʼs usual practice of holing up in one studio for months on
end, he opted for a series of short, high-intensity sessions, each in a different location,
each employing completely different methods than the one before it. For songs like “Rider”
1. The Valley and “Wake and Be Fine,” Sheff gathered together a massive version of Okkervil River –
2. Piratess two drummers, two pianists, two bassists, and seven guitarists, all playing live in one room
3. Rider – and led them on a week of live-in-the-studio marathon session, performing a single song
4. Lay of the Last Sur vivor obsessively over and over for as many as 12 hours to capture just the right take. Finishing
5. White Shadow Waltz the record from home, Sheff constantly edited and reworked the album, reinventing the

the tiniest of details, ultimately creating an album that plays not only as a lush, seamless

epic, but also as the most deeply personal effort of his career.
8. Show Yourself

10. Wake and Be Fine moodier than even Black Sheep Boy, I Am Very Far is dense, fragmented, opaque. A

HEAVY METAL SOUTHERN LORD
With a sound and presence like no other band in the world, Weedeater stand
apart from all others, both live and on their recordings. Their unfiltered and
Track Listing: unrefined energy surges uncontrollably through the band and anyone who bears
witness to their live show. Spite and deep resentment somehow fuse with
comedy and maximum volume to produce an indignant, vomitous (both
figuratively and sometimes literally) performance that is forced upon the willing yet
hapless crowd.
You are instantly swallowed whole by both Dixie and Shep's nearly
indistinguishable monster bass and guitar tones, and you are absolutely beaten to
1. The Great Unfurling
a bloody pulp and scared for your life by Keko's crazed, yet amazingly potent

During the last decade Aimée Argote has had more bands called Des Ark than she has albums under that name. She’s howled and
jerked in sweaty houses and rock clubs, backed by a drummer, another drummer, yet another drummer and a second guitarist, and
a small symphony. She’s brought big crowds to a whisper with nothing but her voice and a banjo or a tiny guitar that kept slipping
out of tune.
