Svoy Giving Away New Album

PR reports: Svoy and Rendezvou (label) want everyone to hear Svoy's album Eclectric, and so have offered the entire album as a free download for a limited time. No strings, no fine print, no catch, just download the entire album for free at the full story link. 

New York-based Svoy was born in a small port city in the Russian Far East and has let music lead him on an incredible journey, from the late night piano musings of his next door neighbor, to the Russian Academy of Music to study with the legendary and beloved Russian bebop pianist Igor Bril. Music had a larger plan for Svoy, however, and he was offered a scholarship to Boston's Berklee College of Music and it was there that Svoy found his true musical calling. SVOY jokes, "I entered Berklee as a Jazz pianist and left as a Pop Electronica artist. I think a lot of my professors won't forgive me for that."

It was also at Berklee that SVOY began recording original compositions. Fascinated with many different styles of music, including electronica, R&B and rock, and influenced by artists ranging from Boards of Canada and Prefuse 73 to Me'Shell NdegeOcello and Maxwell, he embraced each influence when writing and producing his new songs.- Click Here for the Full Story

3 Mile Scream Post Video

PR reports: 3 Mile Scream have posted their Chad Archibald (Arise and Ruin) directed video for the track "Our Blackened Sun" online at the full story link. "Shooting the video was such an amazing experience to take part in. The director was very easy going and was open to all of our ideas and input," says 3 Mile frontman Matt McGachy. "The only part which was a bit unpleasant was the after effects of shooting for ten hours straight at full tilt. All of our bodies hated us, and they definitely were not shy about letting us know about it."

"The shoot made us realize just how much work goes into the creating a video. It tested our limits physically having to go full tilt, take after take to get it all on film, says 3 Mile Scream bassist Mike Marino. "It was a great experience, the video looks sick and we look forward sharing it with everyone."

The track is taken from the group's recently released Corporate Punishment debut album, A Prelude To Our Demise.- Click Here for the Full Story

Tracy Nelson Sets Release

PR reports: With You'll Never Be A Stranger At My Door (July 24 release), Tracy Nelson, after almost four decades, revisits the musical territory she first explored on Mother Earth Presents Tracy Nelson Country. That experience ensconced her, literally, in the Tennessee countryside and, figuratively, as the doyenne of the genre that, years later, would come to be known as Americana. 

She says that she recorded Tracy Nelson Country as "a whim" but that flight of fancy would go on to be an underground sensation. In the succeeding years, as a solo artist, including her initial album for Memphis International Live From Cell Block D, her repertoire has been primarily blues-based. This time out, she says "I wanted to do something else, to do an album where the songs are the focus, pretty songs I could just sing."[see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story
