RILEY ETHERIDGE NEW ALBUM
NYC-based Americana singer-songwriter Riley Etheridge Jr. will be releasing a new album, Secrets, Hope & Waiting, on September 9, 2016 via Rock Ridge Music (with distribution through ADA). In addition to the usual CD and digital formats, Etheridge also plans to release the album in a high-resolution audio version (96kHz/24-bit) through portals that distribute hi-res files. The album tells a story from multiple points of view, encompassing an eight-song travelogue (plus two alternate versions) that takes its listeners on an intimate, acoustic-oriented character journey that spans the course of three decades.
The sonic template for Secrets is quite an intentionally intimate one – minimalistic and sparse to let the mood and story shine. You’ll hear Etheridge’s chair move at the outset of the attempted soothing of “Hush,” how the delicate four-part harmonies mesh on the pleading of “Hoping & Waiting,” Simon Lott’s subtle toms and mallet work on the optimistic charge of “Everything You Wanted,” and the wistful wishfulness of the lead track “Like a Fool.” Overall, the very nature of the high-resolution recording itself, co-produced by Etheridge with longtime bandmate Larry Sieberth, makes you feel like you’re right there in the studio alongside Etheridge and his fellow musicians.

HORSEBACK NEW ALBUM & SINGLE
Dead Ringers, the forthcoming full-length from HORSEBACK, is a lush, heady, and singular blend of organic and synthetic textures. The new LP sees the one-man Chapel Hill, North Carolina experimental project continuing to evolve while staying true to its distinctive sound. Written, produced, engineered, and mixed by mastermind Jenks Miller, Dead Ringers finds HORSEBACK weaving a bright web of drone, krautrock, shoegaze, metal, and psychedelic elements, driven by wispy guitars, synths, beats, and clean vocals, and bolstered by dense layers of hypnotic resonance. The music is heavy yet light, stretching across eight tracks (including one mammoth seventeen-minute epic). Taking influence from the doomiest grooves and the nuance of minimal electronics, Dead Ringers is the most cohesive representation of HORSEBACK’s musical vision to date.
