Two New Albums in Our Store!

Posted September 17, 2009 by Jason at 7:20 am · Filed under General

Friends! We have two new releases available in our store! Please check them out and enjoy!

i_saw_across_the_soundThe Points North: I Saw Across the Sound vinyl and mp3
The Points North’s debut full-length is their most mature musical statement yet. This provocative and engaging album captures perfectly the stunning precision and thoughtful understatement of their live performances during 2008 and 2009. These quiet New England anthems are perhaps more at home in 1909 than 2009, but you won’t find a better folk album this year.

Slowest Runner’s debut album is a live performance from their Band in Boston session on May 23rd, 2009. Named after the Band in Boston podcast itself, The Flophouse Session delivers on the abundant promise of the band’s jaw-dropping live performance. On The Flophouse Session, Slowest Runner combine guitar, bass, drums, piano, violin, cello, tape loops, and heavily-distorted vocals to create beautifully-dramatic movie score music that frequently reaches blistering intensity.

gt_subscription_2009We are also pleased to offer a new product in our store called the Grinding Tapes Subscription! For just $10 you will get three rare and exclusive mp3s from Grinding Tapes-related artists each month starting in October 2009 and ending in March 2010. That’s six months and 18 total songs! At the end of the six months, you’ll receive a special exclusive CD with all 18 songs in classic Grinding Tapes packaging. Check it out!

Next up, we’re going to glue the jackets and print the CDs.  The band selected these nice orange CDs, which we’ll print with the text, “The skies darken.  The sea swells.  And the good ship Tecora sleeps silent on the ocean floor.”

Making Slowest Runner CDs

Posted August 12, 2009 by Jason at 8:00 am · Filed under DIY, Local Art, New Releases

Yesterday was the first day of printing Slowest Runner’s Flophouse Session EP.  The session was recorded live by our friends over at Band in Boston Podcast.  Check out this video that we took of the recycled jackets drying at the Grinding Tapes House.

The cover art was illustrated by our good friend and super-great artist, William Collins.
