DOMINO DOES MUSIC NOT DEEP CRUST
Many of you often comment on confusing us with a pizza delivery establishment (actually no one does) - how about confusing one pizza delivery establishment with another pizza delivery establishment and then emailing us to complain about how hard our crust is. This email is too good to keep to ourselves. Have a little chuckle on us. Incidentally we do have an interest in the commercial currently running for a well known pizza delivery establishment.

SHE & HIM - VOLUME 3 OUT 13TH MAY 2013
She & Him – Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward (Double Six on Domino Records / Domino Publishing) – will release their third album of original material, entitled Volume 3 (out on Merge Records on May 7th 2013 in the US). The duo will also be hitting the road for a month-long US tour this summer which includes a headlining show at the legendary Hollywood Bowl on June 23rd, as well as an evening at Central Park Summerstage in July. The incredible Emmylou Harris & Rodney Crowell and Camera Obscura provide support on select dates.
With fourteen songs – 11 Deschanel originals and 3 covers – Volume 3 is an effortlessly effervescent, bleached-out-in-the-sun pop record. The album features some of the most dynamic, complex songs Deschanel has ever written, allowing for tempo shifts, disco grooves, string arrangements on multiple tracks, and horn flourishes that perfectly suit the She & Him sound. Produced by M. Ward, and recorded in Los Angeles, Portland, and New York City, Volume 3 features guest contributions from NRBQ’s Joey Spampinato, Mike Watt, Tilly and the Wall, Pierre de Reeder from Rilo Kiley, and Tom Hagerman from Devotchka.
Deschanel, whose television show New Girl has cemented her status as a sitcom star, continued to hone her songwriting skills, writing the theme song for her new show, in addition to being nominated for a Grammy for Best Original Song for the movie Winnie the Pooh. She wrote songs for Volume 3 during small pockets of downtime while filming New Girl, as Ward toured the world behind his latest solo creation, A Wasteland Companion.
RECORD STORE DAY - 20TH APRIL 2013 - AUSTRA LIMITED RELEASE AND MORE

The following can be purchased from your local independent music retailer:
Austra & Gina X – 'Mayan Drums' 12"
Following the announcement of their new album Olympia and recent tour with The xx, Toronto’s Austra have also unveiled a very special collaboration with cult German electro singer Gina X for a limited edition Record Store Day release titled ‘Mayan Drums’.

Can’s Ege Bamyasi played by Stephen Malkmus & Friends LP (WIGLP311)
After performing and recording Ege Banyasi in its entirety with a band of German musicians at 2012’s Cologne’s WEEK-END festival, Stephen Malkmus’ take on the classic album will be released via Domino for Record Store Day. 500 copies of the LP will be released on red vinyl and Matador will be releasing it on green vinyl in the US. The hand-printed silkscreened sleeve was designed by David Shrigley, who also designed the poster for the event, inspired by the original artwork for Ege Bamyasi.
King Creosote – That Might Well Be It, Darling CD (WIGCD310)
King Creosote has revealed the punch-line to the three EPs he released last year with a CD album, That Might Well Be It, Darling. It compiles all the songs from 2012’s vinyl series, and marks the CD debut of such tours de force as cosmic 80s hoedown ‘Doubles Underneath’ and devastating prog-pop psalm ‘Ankle Shackles’ (all 11-plus, wine-glass droning minutes of it). The CD will be available through Domino Mart and participating independent stores for Record Store Day.
Orange Juice - You Can’t Hide Your Love Forever LP (REWIGLP49) | Orange Juice – Rip It Up LP (REWIGLP50) | Orange Juice – Texas Fever LP (REWIGLP51) | Orange Juice – The Orange Juice LP (REWIGLP52)

These vinyl editions represent the only existing physical versions of the album available at this juncture. Each have been re-mastered for vinyl, include the original lyrics sheets and printed inner sleeves (save Texas Fever which had none) and will come with the by now de rigueur free digital download card.

OUTER LIMITS RECORDINGS - SINGLES, DEMOS & RARITIES (2007-2010) OUT 15TH APRIL 2013
One third of Test Icicles, Sam Mehran, releases a collection of works. Whilst his former band mates (Rory Atwell and Dev Hynes) have been producing and working on counteless high-profile side projects, we've been privately enjoying Sam Mehran's intrepid foray into his alter ego Outer Limitz notably with the song I Kontakt. Now dropping the Z in favour of an S, Sam launches a full public assault by consolidating his Singles, Demos & Rarities into one edition for you all to enjoy as well.
'I feel like I have many stories ahead of me. Over the past few years I've learnt that people are people and music is music and I can't really judge or say I believe deep down that one this is genuinely better than another, Life is just so crazy. I used to think I was an alien, but Earth has been such an epic experience that I'm now glad to call it home. But who knows, maybe one day I'll leave and realize that home was some place else.'Sam Mehran
This compilation represents the perfect portal into a special artistic imagination, a thrilling outsider-art artefact and even more reason for excitement regarding whatever Mehran dreams up next.

WATCHING COUNTRY QUEEN BY NIGHT MOVES ALBUM ‘COLORED EMOTIONS’ OUT MARCH 25TH 2013
Currently on the road with both Django Django and fellow Minneapolis group Poliça, Night Moves worked with producer/mixer Thom Monahan (Vetiver, Beachwood Sparks, Devendra Banhart) to tighten and brighten the album.
The core members of Night Moves, guitarist/lead vocalist John Pelant, bassist Micky Alfano and multi-instrumentalist Mark Ritsema, grew up together in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota and spent their younger years rotating in and out of one another's musical orbits. After a couple of promising false starts, the trio re-coalesced in 2009 in earnest as Night Moves and began recording. Since then, the band has been joined by drummer Jared Isabella completing their live set-up.

AUSTRA 'OLYMPIA' OUT 17TH JUNE 2013
Austra is Katie Stelmanis (lead vocals), Maya Postepski (drums), Dorian Wolf (bass), Ryan Wonsiak (keys), Sari & Romy Lightman (backing vocals). 'Olympia' was produced by Austra with additional production by Mike Haliechuk, vocal production by Damian Taylor (Bjork, the Killers), engineered by Bill Skibbe and Leon Taheny and mixed by Tom Elmhirst (Adele, Hot Chip). Austra have previously toured with Grimes, the XX and the Gossip.
Despite the sometimes dark lyrics written in collaboration with band member Sari Lightman, 'Olympia' is bubbly and buoyant— fundamentally a dance record, which Stelmanis says was the band's aim all along. 'We are really into dense harmonies and big beautiful melodies, but I also love techno and dance music. I wanted to bring those elements together.'

THE MEMORY BAND 'ON THE CHALK' OUT 20TH MAY 2013
The Memory Band release a set of postcards to promote their forthcoming album - On the Chalk (Our Navigation of the Line of the Downs)
A beguiling musical tribute to a mythical ancient pathway crossing Southern England, On the Chalk is made of eleven songs spread across haunting horn noises, crackles, drones, blissed-out beats and tender piano melodies, this fourth studio album marks the tenth anniversary of one the most invigorating and much loved folk acts around, a group described by NME as “a disorientating, drugged-up soundtrack for the 21st Century… genuinely beautiful.” And speaking of monumental journeys, it’s been quite a road to this moment for Cracknell and his ever evolving cast of collaborators.

‘I wanted the album to have a comforting quality’, Ólöf confirms. ‘Like something that people feel good listening to when they are alone at home, enjoying solitude. Actually, the majority of the songs are based around the note G, which is the humming frequency in a lot of home electric equipment, like refrigerators and washing machines…’ [more info on the One Little Indian website]

THE PHOENIX FOUNDATION 'FANDANGO' OUT 22ND APRIL 2013
The Phoenix Foundation are represented by Domino Publishing on behalf of Native Tongue in UK and EIRE only.
The band recorded Fandango partially at Neil Finn’s Roundhead studios, partially at a barn in the depths of the New Zealand countryside (in the middle of winter, fire blazing in the recording studio, cardigans on) but mostly at the band’s own HQ, The Car Club in Wellington, New Zealand. The album was then mixed with the assistance of long-term associate Lee Prebble at The Surgery (earthquake warnings taped to the front door).
The album draws on the band’s collective love of the rock canon (Dr John, Black Sabbath, The Carpenters, Can, Talk TalK, ELO, Television,), but also from some of music’s more obscure corners (Harmonia, The Clean, Aphrodite's Child, Erkin Koray, Baris Manco, Georges Zamfir, Hayao Miyazaki).

'He Took You In His Arms' directed by Alex Southam who has previously shot videos for Alt-J, The Walkmen& Lianne La Havas.
The video was shot across a number of locations important to the album’s conception - his teenage bedroom frozen in time at his Mother’s house still complete with 90’s Liverpool FC paraphernalia, the beach at the end of her road, the famous ferry across Liverpool’s Mersey River and the streets, houses and pubs that colour Ryder-Jones’ life each day.
A Bad Wind Blows In My Heart,marries Ryder-Jones masterful capacities as arranger and composer with his first firm steps as a singer songwriter. The album was recorded upstairs in his mother’s house inLiverpool. Two friends from local band By The Sea made up the backing band for the recordings, which were then produced and mixed together with James Ford.
Ryder-Jones will be performing the album live for the first time Sunday 17th March at Manchester’s Castle Hotel, with more tour dates being confirmed soon.
Bill Ryder-Jones is one our our recommended COMPOSERS for bespoke work in film + TV.
