      DYLAN LEBLANC - 'CAST THE SAME OLD SHADOW'

      Release date: 20th August 2012
      Formats: CD/LP*/Download
      *The LP will include a CD of the album.

      A bonus disc with three tracks available for a limited time with any purchase of the CD or LP.

      Dylan LeBlanc's second studio album, 'Cast The Same Old Shadow'       will be released on 20th August 2012.

      Twenty-two-year-old Dylan spent most of his youth in Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama (previously home to greats such as Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett and Etta James). Fame’s head, Rick Hall, signed Dylan to its publishing arm as soon as he was legally of age to do so - eighteen. Part of the deal was that Dylan got access to the studio, where he recorded both his debut album ‘Pauper’s Field’ (2010) and the bulk of the forthcoming follow-up ‘Cast The Same Old Shadow’ which was then completed in New Orleans.

      Co-produced by Dylan and Grammy award-winning engineer Trina Shoemaker (Queens of the Stone Age, Sheryl Crowe, EmmyLou Harris), the album has a highly adventurous, cinematic feel. Dylan cites George Harrison’s ‘All Things Must Pass’ as being a major influence on this record, and you may also hear echoes of Gene Clark as well as Glen Cambell’s early work.

      Of the record, Dylan says: “Even if we change on the inside we will always cast the same old shadow in the light of day. That thought process became the foundation for the structure of this record. I wanted to do something different and exciting, and there’s no wrong way to make music if it comes from within. This is not a self-seeking record, this is an honest record. Wherever we go, there we are. I'm really hoping this album will move people".

      MICACHU & THE SHAPES - 'NEVER'

      Release date: 23rd July 2012
      Formats: CD/LP/Download



      Micachu & the Shapes will release their second studio album 'NEVER' on 23rd July 2012. The album was self-produced by the band, recorded at band member Marc Pell's studio in Stratford and mixed by Dillip Harris and the band. It is the follow-up to their critically acclaimed debut 'Jewellery' (2009).

      In 2011, using unorthodox homemade instruments, Micachu & the Shapes released the live album 'Chopped & Screwed', a collaboration with the London Sinfonietta Orchestra whom Micachu wrote an orchestral piece for in 2010 which was subsequently performed as part of the Ether Festival.

      Micachu is currently an artist-in-residence at London's Southbank Centre; the youngest musician to be granted this unique role.

      Release date: 6th August 2012

The album is a collection of live symphonic recordings from the group's four full-length studio albums ('Antony & the Johnsons', 'I Am A Bird Now', 'The Crying Light', 'Swanlights') and represents frontman Antony Hegarty's continued meditation on light, nature and femininity.
