NSDTCM:THE INC. RECORDS :VANESSA CARLTON

Three Grammy nominations, third studio album... the symbolic third time may well be charming for Vanessa Carlton, whose forthcoming Heroes and Thieves (The Inc. Records) showcases the maturing talents of the 26-year-old singer/songwriter/pianist.

Calling it “the best batch of songs I’ve ever written,” she brings them brilliantly to life with a star team of co-producers – Irv Gotti, Stephan Jenkins and Linda Perry.

The result is a standout collection for an artist who first exploded onto the scene in 2002 with her stunning debut Be Not Nobody and its hit singles “A Thousand Miles” and “Ordinary Day.”

While she did not contribute her writing chops to Heroes and Thieves, the album felt an impact in more ways than one from legendary singer/songwriter Stevie Nicks, with whom Vanessa Carlton toured in 2005, 2006 and 2007.

Hip-hop producer/entrepreneur Irv Gotti played an equally strong role in Carlton’s unlikely leap to The Inc. Records, becoming his first new signing since inking a deal with Universal Motown Records.

What Vanessa Carlton has learned during the past five years is clearly the fodder that makes up the most compelling components of Heroes and Thieves, a thematic album best listened to in its entirety, despite the cafeteria habits of the iTunes generation. “People tell me my songs are a little weird or unconventional, but in a good way and I like that,” says Vanessa Carlton. “I really wanted this album to be the one you want to wake up to on a Sunday morning and listen to over and over.”

nsdtcm:news:M83 ANNOUNCES AMBIENT SERIES: DIGITAL SHADES

"DIGITAL SHADES VOL. 1" RELEASED DIGITALLY SEPTEMBER 4, 2007

Digital Shades is an ongoing ambient series from acclaimed French musician M83, aka Anthony Gonzalez. "Digital Shades Vol. 1" will be released in the U.S. digitally on September 4, 2007. Originally recorded in 2006, "Digital Shades Vol. 1 "will precede the release of M83's next full-length artist album. The album, as yet untitled, is set for release in early 2008 and will be a continuation of the vast and epic soundscapes that are synonymous with M83. Gonzalez is currently in the studio working on the album, which is being recorded with Ken Thomas (Sigur Ros, Sugar Cubes, Cocteau Twins, Suede) and Ewan Pearson (Tracey Thorn, The Rapture, Ladytron).

Listeners will find the same textured richness throughout the Digital Shades series as can be found on all of M83's releases. And while not a categorical sonic shift, Digital Shades follows its individual elegiac, lunar and dream-like path.

Recorded primarily at his home studio with the assistance of Antoine Gaillet,Gonzalez was able to work without pressure, working on the record at his own time and pace. Inspired by Eno and Krautrock in its many forms, M83 focused heavily on subtleties and atmospherics during the writing process. The idea of digital, relevant during all the process (from creating the music to sharing it), gave him the idea to call the project "Digital Shades Vol.1", and to make the album part of an ongoing series.

"Taking the deliciously surreal song from their latest album We Are The Night and giving it a particularly literal video treatment featuring a talking grouper calling out dance moves to the other fish, who spiral out in coordinated kaleidoscopic dance moves while their hapless owner can only watch. Blending elements of their previous video for "Star Guitar" with a trip-hop Finding Nemo, the Brothers work it out perfectly". source:Filter mag.com
