SOUTHEAST ENGINE MP3 At 3PM
Check out a brand new track from Southeast Engine's album 'Canary' today at Magnet!
SOUTHEAST ENGINE FEATURED ON NPR !
You like The Band? Wilco? Okkervil River? Well if you like them, chances are you’ll dig Southeast Engine Never heard of them? Well, hopefully that will change with the release of their 5th album Canary on March 29th on the recently revived Misra Records.
The vitals:
The band was discovered by The Wrens, formed by frontman Adam Remnant and drummer Leo DeLuca.
The kind of music they play: Americana, rustic story-telling heartland rock that could have been recorded in Woodstock in 1972.
On the band’s new album, the songwriting conceptually tells the story of a family living in a small Appalachian town in southeast Ohio during the Great Depression of the 1930′s. Lyrically it covers timeless topics of social, cultural and political concerns. Musically, it’s classic rock wisely dressed up in 2011 clothes. It’s one of the best roots-rock albums of 2011 so far.
Download: New Growth – Southeast Engine
The band are starting a big tour which brings them to Philly on Sunday, February 26th at the M Room.

SOUTHEAST ENGINE 'CANARY' IS DEBUT RELEASE FOR NEW MISRA
ALBUM TRACK "NEW GROWTH" MP3 GIVEAWAY
TOUR DATES ANNOUNCED
Fresh off releasing the free, artist-curated Misra Legacy Compilation and relaunching the label, Misra Records is pleased to announce Southeast Engine's outstanding fifth album, Canary – out March 29 - and available in all formats including limited edition canary yellow cassette with digital download code. While preserving the signature sound that earned their last album From the Forest to the Sea an 84 (Universal Acclaim) from rating aggregator Metacritic and past praise from The Onion, Pitchfork, Paste, Pop Mattters, Coke Machine Glow and more, Canary marks a dramatic step forward in regards to both songwriting and arrangement. SEE has scheduled a handful of February dates, a full March/April tour and will continue to announce shows in support of the record’s release.
Canary is an album born out of Athens, Ohio – the home of frontman Adam Remnant. The songs focus on a family living in a small Appalachian town in southeast Ohio during the Great Depression of the 1930s. The album is simultaneously personal and social dealing with themes of growing up, hard times, family, and sustainability. Southeast Engine went in to record the album during the harsh Athens winter of 2010. They left the studio with an album that musically combines the band’s unique folk-rock aesthetic with the old-time elements of Appalachian music.
Southeast Engine was discovered by The Wrens in 2006 and toured extensively with Deerhoof in 2010. Gregory Saunier of Deerhoof selected Canary’s “New Growth” for the Misra Legacy Compilation, Volume I and we’ve included the free download [here].

MISRA RECORDS ANNOUNCE RELAUNCH, GIVEAWAY 15 TRACKS FROM CATALOG
With great joy, we would like to announce the relaunch of Misra Records. In conjunction with this development, the label is offering the Misra Legacy Compilation Volume I at misrarecords.com. The artist-curated comp features favorite tracks from the Misra canon hand-chosen by artists from The Lemonheads, Deer Tick, Deerhoof, The Wrens, Wooden Wand, Drive By Truckers, Male Bonding, and more.
After a quiet 2010, the label is now under the management of Misra artist and partner Leo DeLuca. DeLuca plays drums in Misra band Southeast Engine, managed Misra imprint Moon Jaw Records, and runs the label out of Durham, NC. As of 2011, Chicago-based Bloodshot Records – home of albums by Ryan Adams, Neko Case, Justin Townes Earle, Jon Langford, Dex Romweber, and more will distribute Misra.
To highlight Misra’s new position as an artist-run entity, 2011’s first release will be Southeast Engine’s Canary – due out March 29. The Black Swans – the label’s newest signing – will follow shortly with their album Don’t Blame the Stars. In the early part of this year, U.K.’s Sleeping States will release In the Gardens of the North + Old vs. New + bonus material. The songs by both Southeast Engine and The Black Swans featured on the legacy comp appear there for the first time, and each will be on their new albums. 2011 will also see albums by Misra greats Summer Hymns, Timothy Bracy of The Mendoza Line’s new project Collection Agency, former Moon Jaw artists Theodore, Bears, Human Cannonball, and Joseph Remnant. Remnant, the illustrator of Harvey Pekar’s forthcoming posthumous book Cleveland, will release his comics alongside an album. Set for release later this year, The Misra Legacy Compilation Volume II will include artist-curated tracks from Shearwater, Bablicon, Evangelicals, Will Johnson, Jenny Toomey, South San Gabriel, and more.
All at Misra are extremely excited to be back in action. With Misra’s place already secured in the annals of independent music, we look forward to preserving and furthering its legacy. This is the label that introduced bands like Destroyer, Great Lake Swimmers, Shearwater, and Phosphorescent to the world; an institution that forged a troubled industry to bring you Centro-matic, Palomar, Sleeping States, Hallelujah the Hills, Southeast Engine, and more; an entity rooted in the strong belief that music has the curative power to inspire and change people for the better. The Misra legacy will continue.
