BRASSTRONAUT ANNOUNCE RELEASE OF DEBUT LP 'MOUNT CHIMAERA' on UNFAMILIAR RECORDS
Debut full-length album Mt. Chimaera from Brasstronaut set for U.S. release March 23, 2010 on Unfamiliar Records (Japandroids, No Gold, Makeout Videotape)
Mt. Chimaera, the debut album of Vancouver band Brasstronaut can be envisioned as the mythological beast of its title. This record skillfully unifies genres as various as pop, electronica, klezmer, and jazz, just as the chimaera is composed of parts from a lion, goat and serpent. And they both breathe fire.
Recorded at The Banff Centre, in the Rocky Mountains, and mixed/produced in home studios in Vancouver, Oberlin, Ohio, and New York, Mt. Chimaera is the first full-length release by Brasstronaut's definitive six-piece line-up. Fronted by vocalist and keyboardist Edo Van Breemen, this roster is fluent in trumpet, lap steel, flugelhorn, and the seldom-heard EWI (a breath-controlled synthesizer). But don't be mistaken, Mt. Chimaera is a pop album, just one brewed with the most astonishing ingredients. This delicate balance is attained with the kind of grace that make Grizzly Bear and Radiohead at once avant garde and universal.
Album opener "Slow Knots" is the perfect summary of Brasstronaut's boundary-crossing vision. Horns tempt the melody toward total chaos but are restrained by an upbeat, finely-honed pop rhythm. Meanwhile, Van Breemen self-deprecates: "Do you really think that I betrayed you?/Honey don't you know that I'm too dumb for that?" Likewise, single "Lo-Hi Hopes" changes tempos and switches movements, while still possessing all the pace and hook of a Spoon anthem.
Elsewhere, "Six Toes" has a bounding sea-shanty rhythm and playful keyboard melody reminiscent of fellow Canadians Sunset Rubdown, but Van Breemen's lyrics keep the song out of that group's lofty fantasies and firmly planted in the real world: "We met in Crab Park, on that cold, and that snowy, December day." The orchestral sweep of closer "Insects," and the swelling horns of "Hearts Trompet" reflect the grand ambitions of this Vancouver band. Coming off an acclaimed spot at the 2009 Iceland Airwaves Festival in Reykjavik, Brasstronaut is preparing for a North American tour in support of Mt. Chimaera. This includes the much-anticipated appearance at South By Southwest. Altogether, 2010 promises big things for Brasstronaut. Now is the time to get a hold of this new and startling beast.

We've got nothing but goodness to cozy up to here, Folks. Read on!
Hey everyone! THE INTERIORS have new shows coming up ! Since the release of their blistering self-titled debut full length last year, The Interiors set out on multiple mini-tours gathering up fans all along the way. The press hailed the trio's "easy ferocity" while back home 'The Interiors' was named The No. 1 Local Release by Chicagoist who cheered the band saying "It's been awhile since Chicago produced a great guitar rock band"! First up, a hometown show this Thursday, February 5 at the Hideout followed by MORE SHOWS before they hit SXSW!
MATT & KIM continue the awesomeness ON TOUR NOW in support of their brand new lp 'Grand'. The Brooklyn duo kicked it all off with a sold out (in advance!) show in their borough and are now taking the hot fun all along the west coast. Watch this space for their new video "Lessons Learned" coming soon! Next month, a big tour with Cut Copy, too!
We're also really happy to announce that BRASSTRONAUT will be hitting the States super soon for SXSW and a bunch of other shows just in time for the US release of their amazing 'Old World Lies' EP. Until then, the Toronto group are huddled up in Banff recording their new full length which will see a Fall release and we're keeping up with Brasstronaut via Edo's awesome journo and you can, too!
As a co-creator and former head writer of The Daily Show, and co-founder of Air America Radio, LIZZ WINSTEAD is easily the best wit in all of political comedy. Next month, Lizz will bring her SHOOT THE MESSENGER live multi-media sketch comedy show to LA for two nights at Steve Allen Theater on MARCH 17 & 18! Shoot The Messenger is a media-smart satirical wrap-up of the week's news all written, produced and starring some of the best political comics and writers, including Lizz herself, plus special guests in an every-expanding cast. As The Comic's Comic says, "If you haven't seen Lizz Winstead's latest creation, then you're missing out." A must-see!
And if you are in NY, don't miss ADIRA AMRAM's shows at Ars Nova Feb 4 & 11! And what are you in for? "Watching the neon leotarded Amram sing nonsensical songs behind her Casio is like seeing a unicorn hit puberty." Fun!
Sterling Andrews' GOOSEBERRIES project has a release party all lined up for Thursday, April 2nd. The beautiful Center for the Arts in Eagle Rock is the setting where Sterling's handmade backdrops and prints will be displayed. Watch this space for announcements of the bands from Gooseberries who will play as well! Gooseberries will be release April 4 through Eenie Meenie Records.
Right On!
