LAURIE ANDERSON
Homeland
www.laurieanderson.com
Dist: Warner Music Canada
"America is a good place for stories," Laurie Anderson told London's The Guardian right before she brought Homeland, her self-described "concert poem," to English stages. Homeland contains some of Anderson's most incisive work, -- darkly humorous, starkly emotional, and, at times, movingly tender. Her stories are once again about these United States of America, the sprawling subject that first brought her acclaim more than 25 years ago with her eight-hour Reagan era phantasmagoria, United States, Parts I - IV.
Homeland is a distilled, up-to-the-minute portrait of our agitated nation, its politics, its economics, its delusions and its dreams. Her tone is less outraged than elegiac, mourning for lives lost, ideals misplaced. The arrangements are embellished with such touches as the siren-like vocals of Antony Hegarty (of Antony and the Johnsons), thumping keyboards from Keiran Hebden (of Four Tet), and, on the brilliant, wickedly funny "Only An Expert," a gnarly guitar turn from Anderson's husband and co-producer Lou Reed.TRACKLISTING:
DEREK TRUCKS BAND
Roadsongs
www.derektrucks.com/
Dist: Sony Music Canada

Their concerts have evolved into consistent, rafter-raising events, filled with soulful jams and gospel-revival intensity, highlighted by trucks’ dazzling, daring guitar solos. The group’s new double-live album roadsongs captures the DTB in their full, cathartic glory and promises to expand their audience and draw greater attention to the group.TRACKLISTING:
SARAH HARMER

Dist: Universal Music Canada
Sarah’s first new album in 5 years! Featuring a duet with Neko Case!

FOALS
Total Life Forever
www.foals.co.uk
Dist: Warner Music Canada
Total Life Forever is the sound of a band settling into and surveying the decay of old protocols. With this new album, Foals strip their sound back and turn themselves inside out searching for that invisible human thing. Written primarily in the basement of their Oxford HQ (“The House Of Supreme Mathematics”) and recorded in Gothenburg with former Clorman Luke Smith, Total Life Forever finds Foals singing rather than shouting, emotional as well as functional. The band’s soul-search reveals new antidotes found in infinite, internal spaces rather than carved violently upon the air–-Total Life Forever feels more the work of artists than artisans.TRACKLISTING:

The Hellbound Hepcats
www.myspace.com/hellboundhepcats
Dist: Warner Music CanadaThe Hellbound Hepcats are bringing back the sound of the 1950’s with an aggressive, big-beat twist—seamlessly fusing elements of Johnny Burnette, Chuck Berry and Brian Setzer with the pure energy of rockabilly.
