Coming in August: Sycamore, the debut album of the duo of David Daniell and Douglas McCombs will be released on the Thrill Jockey record label on August 18th.  The album features drums by Steven Hess, Frank Rosaly, and John Herndon, and artwork by Arik Roper.

New compilation release: The French record label Arbouse Recordings has just released a beautiful two-CD compilation, Musique pour statues menhirs, produced in conjunction with the Musée Fenaille in Rodez, France. The compilation features contributions by David Daniell, Fennesz, Greg Davis, John Hughes, Zelienople, Sylvain Chauveau, Mapstation, Mira Calix and many others.

New Release: I IV V I - part of Table of the Elements' Guitar Series volumes 3 & 4. Table of the Elements celebrates its 15th anniversary with a follow-up to the label's groundbreaking 1993 7" releases (Guitar Series 1 & 2). The new releases are single-sided, 12-inch LPs, pressed on clear and colored vinyl, with original etchings on the reverse by acclaimed UK illustrator Savage Pencil, known for his contributions to The Wire and Forced Exposure and album covers for The Fall, Big Black, Sonic Youth, and Rocket from the Crypt. Boomkat writes about I IV V I: "This latest emission spans four tracks, ranging in stylistic diversity from epic layered drone scapes to virtuosic Takoma-style fingerpicking... there's a refinement and attention to detail here that goes way above the call of duty. In production terms the LP sounds beautiful..." and Mimaroglu Music Sales has this to say: "each section comes across as fully formed, as a whole it's a pretty damn breathtaking set of pieces... this is inarguably the highlight of the series thusfar... highly recommended!!!"

Shop online: You can now buy many David Daniell (and related) releases directly from the discography page. Some of the items there are very hard-to-find these days - some with only one or two copies remaining - so act quickly.  For many of the releases, there are also links which will take you to Klicktrack, the iTunes Music Store, or the Other Music Digital store, where you can purchase MP3s.
