Peter Panther to record new LP (0)

Indie darling Peter Panther has announced that she will record a new album full of her unique, folk-indie blend. Peter Panther(nee Kyla Webb) has been on the road for the last year and a half on her last album I've Got To Leave Now, My Love.
The 2008 release was hailed as one of the greatest records by an enchanting young woman to have come out of Brooklyn in a few months. MANE magazine praised it as having "Wonderfully gauzy vocals and beautiful acoustic guitars to match. Truly a precious LP." Now fans of pretty female singers, hip music, ukuleles and clever lyrics about love can rejoice.
The as of yet untitled album will once again reunite Kyla Webb and her longtime songwriting partner,Garrison Adderly of Harrison's Whip and promises to be yet another gleeful release full of breezy catharsis and smokey adorableness.
Release Date TBD on Opus.

Tolstoyevsky launches new concept-album concept (0)

Post-rock phenom Tolstoyevsky recently announced plans for a new concept album, that relies on visuals as opposed to mere music. Instead of putting out another atmospheric, moody album of sweeping soundscapes, the Kentuckian quintet will release a DVD of dark, ominous footage of storm clouds, long roads, and rain (see above photo).

"We're really trying to break some new ground here," says harpsichordist Alan Brinkley, "we got tired of playing such long songs at our live shows, so we created this concept so that we could sit back and play the dvd for the crowd. We expect this medium to create a whole new level of bonding between musician and listener. Our dream is to expand our performances from concert halls to movie theaters all across the country. That way, we can literally play a whole tour in one night."

The movie comes out this fall on the band's own label "Woodsy Retreat" records.
