Now Available Exclusively/Semi Exclusively from CTD:

FEATURED:

Segall, Ty
“Goodbye Bread”
Drag City: dc479
PITCHFORK 8.1!:
“In Goodbye Bread, his first full-length for Drag City, Segall has embraced singer-songwriter craft wholeheartedly. While garage rock O.G.s like the Troggs and the Stooges continue to be an influence, Segall has turned in a relatively calm effort here, choosing to downshift into slower tempos and cleaner sounds, evoking instead the work of John Lennon, Neil Young, and Marc Bolan. Heavyweights. But what makes Goodbye Bread such a success is that we get an even keener sense of what a Ty Segall song sounds like and what that means.”

http://pitchfork.com/forkcast/15677-polyhurt/

URB - TOP 10 DETROIT ACTS YOU HAVEN’T HEARD:
“...now is a great time to be catching Seth Haley’s Com Truise project. His mix of downtempo breaks with some of the spaciest synths to be found produces auditory sci-fi.”
http://www.urb.com/2011/05/16/top-10-movement-detroit-acts-you-havent-likely-heard/

LOS ANGELES TIMES:
“It conjures a Macintosh nostalgia for futures dreamed up decades ago. Synthesizers bright as lasers and drums loose as dust....Ideal summer music.”

STILL FRESH & OUT NOW!
Nadler, Marissa
“S/T”
Box of Cedar: boc001
NPR FIRST LISTEN STREAMING “S/T”:
“Marissa Nadler has drawn a big response...Her dreamy, fragile folk songs are revered among an assortment of tastemakers, but they haven't yet broken through to a larger audience. Her new self-titled album should help change all that.'”
http://www.npr.org/2011/06/05/136829503/first-listen-marissa-nadler-marissa-nadler


SPIN BEST NEW ARTIST FOR JUNE 2011:
SPIN Music Editor Charles Aaron says: “There are several mixtape keepers on this album, where her willingness to be openly vulnerable, and to expose her voice to the point that it even sounds shaky or strained, pays off in wonderfully poignant drama, especially when the slide guitar sighs just so.”
http://www.spin.com/gallery/spins-5-best-new-artists-june?page=4#main

PITCHFORK FORKCAST OF “The Sun Always Reminds Me Of You”:
“‘The Sun Always Reminds Me Of You’ is a pedal steel-wrapped heartbreaker….”

http://pitchfork.com/news/42488-watch-new-marissa-nadler-video/

PITCHFORK FORKCAST OF “Baby, I Will Leave You In The Morning”:
“This is the sound of an artist coming into her own.”
http://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/12146-baby-i-will-leave-you-in-the-morning/

PITCHFORK NEW RELEASE INFO:
“...Nadler says, 'It's the most honest, natural record I've ever written... I'm no longer hiding. The mystery still exists in the music as an aesthetic tool, but the songs cut harder because of the vocal mix, with more varied colors than my other records.'”
http://pitchfork.com/news/42014-marissa-nadler-announces-new-album/

NO DEPRESSION:
“There is a lot of talent, strength and intelligence in this woman….”
http://www.nodepression.com/profiles/blogs/the-demystification-of-marissa

CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND:
"The dream-folk songstress possesses long, flowing hair, classic beauty, a lush, emotive voice, and crafts songs with equal parts pain and sweetness."

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/12/arts/music/new-cds-by-bbc-woods-diskjokke-and-youssou-ndour.html?_r=2

PITCHFORK FORKCAST OF “Pantup”:
http://pitchfork.com/forkcast/15679-panutup/

EXCLAIM!:
“...if the lead track "Panutup" is like the rest of the album, it will be one unique listening experience.”
http://exclaim.ca/News/diskjokke_returns_with_sagara_lp

SOME KIND OF AWESOME:
“I don't know what the heck is going on in Norway but I do not care. The electronic music that comes out of that country is RIDICULOUS!.”

V/A
“Wallahi Le Zein: Wezin, Jackwar & Guitar Boogie From The Islamic Republic of Mauritania”
Locust/Latitude: latitude07
PITCHFORK 8.0!!:
“Wallahi Le Zein is somewhat similar to a Sublime Frequencies radio or field recording release, except that this has a much deeper interest in the musicological, historical, and cultural underpinnings of what's going on here. Lavoie isn't just putting this stuff out there for you - the liner notes are an educational document reflecting years of research and real, focused passion for the subject matter, rather than a basic interest in otherness. This is in some ways this compilation's greatest gift - this is the first curated collection of unfiltered Mauritanian guitar music ever, and I'm glad it's been introduced with such thoroughness and care.”
http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/15470-wallahi-le-zein-wezin-jakwar-and-guitar-boogie-from-the-islamic-republic-of-mauritania/

These Trails
“S/T”
Drag City: dc463
PITCHFORK 7.5:
“Primarily written and performed by singer-songwriters Margaret Morgan and Patrick Cockett, the album has long circulated among fans of obscure psych-folk, and it has been reissued several times in perhaps-not-entirely-legit versions. The album's reputation is well-earned, as These Trails is a lovely and incredibly evocative slice of Pacific folk-rock, and Drag City has performed a good service by finally reissuing the album in a handsome new authorized edition..”
http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/15508-these-trails/

Implodes
“Black Earth”
Kranky: krank156
PITCHFORK 7.5:
“...the most interesting thing about Black Earth is what it bodes for Implodes' future. If they can already mold this many sounds into the same tonal shape, imagine what further sonic territory they might someday place their stamp on.”
http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/15465-black-earth/

STEREOGUM "BAND TO WATCH":
“At times these songs feels more dire or dirge-like — the beautiful riverside sunset on the cover comes with a woman wielding a knife — but each of the 11 tracks is beautifully melodic. Most are patiently catchy, darkly propulsive.”
http://stereogum.com/641731/band-to-watch-implodes/franchises/band-to-watch/

DROWNED IN SOUND:
“Implodes will do fine so long as they keep carving out bleak soundscapes that are as atmospheric, otherworldly and starkly beautiful as Black Earth”
http://drownedinsound.com/releases/16191/reviews/4142592

FENSEPOST:
“Put on headphones, crank up Black Earth, close your eyes and watch the nightmare that your subconscious produces on the backs of your eyelids. It will be terrifying and brilliant.”
http://www.fensepost.com/main/2011/04/05/implodes-black-earth-album-review/

Pechenga
“Helt Borte”
Smalltown Supersound: sts202
ALTERED ZONES TRACK REVIEW of “Gitaro”
“‘Gitaro’ comes to us as a taste of the purported subzero weather inspired sounds that the album holds. Will this be your gateway drug to ambient music? Regardless, it’s certainly another healthy mutation of that genre.”

http://alteredzones.com/posts/1153/pechenga-gitaro/
STEREO SUBVERSION TRACK REVIEW of “Gitaro”
“The music makes me feel warm and fuzzy like hot chocolate with a shot of whiskey.”
http://stereosubversion.com/pechenga-gitaro

Newbury, Mickey
“The American Trilogy (4xCD Box Set)”
“Looks Like Rain”
“Frisco Mabel Joy”
“Heaven Help The Child”
“Better Days”
Drag City: dc485, dc474, dc475, dc476, dc477
PITCHFORK BEST NEW REISSUE 8.6!!:
“Every word or line or stanza complements the others and shades their meanings, contributing crucially to the whole.”
http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/15473-an-american-trilogy/

MOJO 4 STARS:
“Three of his early albums, possibly his best, are collected here in a lovingly conceived box set.”
http://www.mojo4music.com

UNCUT - REISSUE OF THE MONTH (JUNE 2011):
“The least his memory deserves is to hear the songs the way he heard them, and this set represents a chance that should be seized lustily...An overdue monument to an overlooked songwriter.”
http://www.uncut.co.uk/

THE WIRE:
“His songs feel like prayers for the brokenhearted many, as if he has consigned himself to perpetual heartache to imbue the songs with a crueler reality.”
http://www.thewire.co.uk

RECORD COLLECTOR:
“This exquisite collection offers a more fitting context for Newbury’s neglected recordings - once heard, forever smitten. It’s impossible to resist the emotional pull of his voice and artistry.”
http://www.recordcollectormag.com/reviews/review-detail/6973

NO DEPRESSION:
“There is only one word that comes to mind for making this package so detailed, so intimate, and so passionate in the little things that made Newbury’s music so endearing to those who got it - and that word is Love.”
http://www.nodepression.com/profiles/blogs/an-american-trilogy-mickey

SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER:
“An American Trilogy is an excellent introduction to the mind and music of Mickey Newbury. The three albums contained here form the highlights of an often overlooked career that is well worth resurrecting.”
http://www.seattlepi.com/default/article/Music-Review-Mickey-Newbury-An-American-1387959.php

Arborea
“Red Planet”
Strange Attractors Audio House: saah067
NPR WORLD CAFE NEXT:
“Shanti and Buck Curran live in the western mountains of Maine and are already names in psychedelic music circles. The recently released Red Planet, the band's fourth LP, will likely expand on that audience.”

http://www.npr.org/2011/05/02/135924916/arborea-on-world-cafe-next
PORTLAND PHOENIX:
“...Shanti and Buck Curran also seem to exist outside of time itself, both inhabiting a world that never actually was and pacing their songs so that they seem to make time elastic.”

http://portland.thephoenix.com/music/119232-arborea-sail-across-a-fossil-sea
PORTLAND HERALD PRESS:
“The project enjoys an utterly unteachable gift in Shanti's weightless vocals. Her instrument is rich and trembling bellows, capable of holding gauzy pitches on clouds of air.”

http://www.pressherald.com/life/go/arboreas-red-planet-beguiles-and-rewards-the-soulful-listener-_2011-04-21.html?searchterm=Arborea
DELTA-SLIDER.COM:
“After 51 minutes of being under the Arborea spell you might wonder where you’ve been. It’s a time spent in another world, it feels a bit frightening but irresistible.”

Depper, Dave
“The Ram Project”
Jackpot Records: jpr7110
MAGNET MAGAZINE:
“He's penetrating, he's ironic, he's intimate, he's elusive, he's distant and calcified, he's vulnerable and warm-- it's all there, album to album, song to song, and sometimes line to line.”
http://www.magnetmagazine.com/2011/04/29/what-record-are-you-most-looking-forward-to-next-week-20/

DELI MAGAZINE ALBUM OF THE MONTH FOR MAY 2011:
“I honestly must admit that the echo from another room of Dave’s voice hanging in the air during 'Long Haired Lady' sparked such a feeling that made me forget that it wasn’t Paul behind the microphone.”
http://national.thedelimagazine.com/5438/album-month-ram-project-dave-depper

DELI MAGAZINE (REVIEW):
“Portland's own multi-project-multi-instrumentalist Dave Depper has taken this sweet lamb with horns under his musical wings to create quite the cover album, full of intricate liberties that sets The Ram Project apart, just enough to give you chills.”
http://nyc.thedelimagazine.com/4805/ram-project

Antietam
“Tenth Life”
Carrot Top Records: saki052
BIG TAKOVER:
“...ten tracks of good old-fashioned guitar rock – crunchy, loud and tuneful...there are few rock groups as dependable as Antietam.”
http://www.bigtakeover.com/recordings/antietam-tenth-life-carrot-top

CHICAGO TRIBUNE:
“…[Tenth Life] is among its most direct, 10 fat-free songs gorged on melody, with typically thoughtful lyrics that consider midlife as both a challenge and an opportunity.”
http://leisureblogs.chicagotribune.com/turn_it_up/2011/06/antietams-tara-key-on-a-mission-to-claim-rock-for-my-generation.html

ADEQUACY:
“…Tenth Life is another solid, memorable and crucial piece in a jigsaw-like canon that refuses to be finished without an age-defying fight.”
http://www.adequacy.net/2011/05/antietam-tenth-life/

CYCLIC DEFROST:
“Tenth Life is at once a continuation of the classic first-generation indie rock sound and – at its core – just an amazing guitar record.”
http://www.cyclicdefrost.com/blog/2011/03/31/antietam-–-tenth-life-carrot-top/

Bathgate, Chris
“Salt Year”
Quite Scientific: qsr021
CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND:
“Chris Bathgate owns the voice and the melancholy of someone twice his age, and Salt Year packages enough charm to spare.”
http://consequenceofsound.net/2011/04/album-review-chris-bathgate-salt-year/

AV CLUB:
“...there’s a welcome hint of triumph in the personal trials Bathgate and band swaddle in layers of stormy guitar, lonesome fiddle, and clattering percussion.”
http://www.avclub.com/articles/chris-bathgate-salt-year,55083/

Callahan, Bill
“Apocalypse”
Drag City: dc450
PITCHFORK 8.0!:
“He's penetrating, he's ironic, he's intimate, he's elusive, he's distant and calcified, he's vulnerable and warm-- it's all there, album to album, song to song, and sometimes line to line.”
http://www.pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/15285-apocalypse/

NEW YORK TIMES:
“This is what Mr. Callahan does: put a big and mysterious idea in a modest place. He has gotten better and better at it. 'The thing that’s uniquely his,' said the singer-songwriter John Darnielle of the Mountain Goats in a recent e-mail, 'is to sort of smuggle in scenes of remarkable emotional and, I gotta say, spiritual weight within these fairly light constructions.'”
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/10/arts/music/bill-callahan-apocalypse-on-drag-city-label.html?_r=2&ref=arts

DUSTED:
“Sometimes I Wish I Were An Eagle is like a Technicolor epic — brass accents, swelling strings and an odd, lingering hollowness at its core. Apocalypse, on the other hand, is more like an 80-minute Ranown picture - sinuous, slippery, less accessible, more satisfying.”
http://www.dustedmagazine.com/reviews/6362

DROWNED IN SOUND:
“…That it [Apocalypse] happens to be both heartbreaking and life affirming is just something we’ve come to expect.”
http://drownedinsound.com/releases/16135/reviews/4142442

Little Annie
“Soul Possession (Reissue)”
“Jackamo (Reissue)”
“Short And Sweet (Reissue)”
Southern Records: 28157, 28158, 28159
MUDKISS:
“There is an intensely physical aspect to her lyrics, and the empathetic nature of the words and brutal vocalisations provide a starkly evocative sense of vérité.”
http://www.mudkiss.com/littleanniereview.htm

Baby Dee
“Regifted Light”
Drag City: dc462
PITCHFORK 8.0!:
“...Dee is simply a musician making very earnest art about a very unusual life. Regifted Light doesn't seem built to shock or cajole, but to connect with all sorts of people, and to last.”
http://www.pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/15240-regifted-light/

OPTION:
“This is the magic of Baby Dee: she illuminates her music - however you define it - with a mix of childlike exuberance and hard-won experience few others, in any discipline, can match”
http://option-magazine.com/2011/03/29/baby-dee-regifted-light-drag-city/

DUSTED:
“The darkness of gender dysmorphia may indeed be vast, but given the right illuminating gift, Baby Dee proves there’s still light nonetheless -- even for her own chamber music.”
http://www.dustedmagazine.com/reviews/6321

Eternals, The
“Approaching The Energy Field”
Addenda: nda005
PITCHFORK 7.6:
“The Eternals may be out their own in their own in the once again guitar-centric world of indie rock circa 2011, but that just means we're doubly lucky they're still listening so widely, still pushing themselves to come up with such unexpected new hybrids.”
http://www.pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/15213-approaching-the-energy-field/

Six Organs of Admittance
“Asleep On The Floodplain”
Drag City: dc453
PITCHFORK 7.8:
“Chasny has distilled all of his impulses and obsessions - slow drones and brisk picking, solemn mumbles and cheery riffs, ponderous lyrics, and ruminative instrumentals - into 43 muted, marvelous minutes.”
http://www.pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/15185-asleep-on-the-floodplain/

DUSTED:
“With Asleep On the Floodplain, Chasny returns not just to his personal ‘roots,’ but also to the roots of popular music itself. He gets back to nature, or as close as can be expected. It’s a surprising, refreshing shift of focus.”
http://www.dustedmagazine.com/reviews/6272

TINY MIX TAPES:
“This, at least, is how I like to hear Six Organs of Admittance: as an invitation to join in a discussion that covers the poetics of place, poststructuralist theology, mysticism, magic, and transformation.”
http://www.tinymixtapes.com/music-review/six-organs-admittance-asleep-floodplain

DROWNED IN SOUND:
“Asleep on the Floodplain...(is) a vision as precise and piercing as ever.”
http://drownedinsound.com/releases/15973/reviews/4142026

Banjo Or Freakout
“S/T”
Rare Book Room: rbr007
PITCHFORK VIDEO OF “105”:
http://pitchfork.com/tv/#/music-videos/751-banjo-or-freakout/1276-105/

XLR8R:
“...he effectively combines the sensibilities of an old-school singer-songwriter with a desire to explore washed-out melodic soundscapes and lo-fi bedroom beats.”
http://www.xlr8r.com/features/2011/04/bubblin-banjo-or-freakout

Outsiders, The
“CQ”
Jackpot Records: jpr7109
VICTIM OF TIME:
“Truly a classic, The Outsiders made a perfect record in their time and ours.”
http://www.victimoftime.com/articles/exhumed-outsiders-emcqem-lp/

Bonnie "Prince" Billy & The Cairo Gang
“Island Brothers” b/w “New Wonder”
Drag City: dc468
PITCHFORK 8.0:
“...his work with the Cairo Gang - which is to say, with the guitarist, singer, and songwriter Emmett Kelly - has felt like an especially fruitful era, and Island Brothers embodies why.”
http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/15163-island-brothers/

AV CLUB:
“Both songs make a subdued plea for attention, and there’s no doubt this cause deserves it.”
http://www.avclub.com/articles/bonnie-prince-billy-the-cairo-gang-island-brothers,52179/

V/A
“SMM: Context”
Ghostly International gi133
PITCHFORK 7.6:
“...this is an accurate and often gorgeous snapshot of a loose affiliation of ideas coalescing into a genre.”
http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/15180-smm-context/

ALARM PRESS:
“Instead of trying to capitalize on its name or its roster, Ghostly, via SMM, shows that a label can serve not just as a distributor or curator, but as a creative voice in itself.”
http://alarmpress.com/30683/blog/music-news/record-review-smm-context/

FOXY DIGITALIS:
“8/10... The series is off to a great start…a darker cousin of Kompakt’s Pop Ambient series.”
http://www.foxydigitalis.com/foxyd/?p=7442

EXCLAIM:
“The beats-meets-drone-meets-concerto mix of SMM: Context should keep avant-garde enthusiasts tuned-in for the long haul, proving just how rich, diverse and brave electronic music has become since it left the club for the bedroom.”
http://exclaim.ca/Reviews/DanceAndElectronic/various-smm_context
