Austin rock band Ume today unveiled a surging new song entitled “Black Stone”, premiering today via Noisey/VICE. “Black Stone” will be featured on the band’s forthcoming sophomore album due out in early 2014 on Dangerbird Records.

“From the first time we saw Ume we were stopped dead in our tracks by their bold swagger and seemingly effortless upending of so many rock conventions,” said Dangerbird founder Peter Walker. “We are thrilled to help deliver this incredible band and their kick ass new album to the world in 2014.”

“We’re so excited to finally unleash new music,” said Ume’s Lauren Larson.  “It’s an honor for us to be a part of the Dangerbird family and we’re grateful for everyone who’s helped this new record become a reality.”  

The new album was recorded in Seattle, WA at Robert Lang Studios and produced by Grammy® Award winning producer Adam Kasper (Queens of the Stone Age, Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Cat Power).

Dangerbird Records is excited to announce that Silversun Pickups will release their Let It Decay 10” vinyl on Friday, November 29th in conjunction with Record Store Day’s Black Friday. The limited edition vinyl release features the brand new track “Let It Decay” as well as “Working Title,” a B-side from the sessions for their latest full-length Neck of the Woods.

The 2-song release will be available exclusively at independent music shops. For a list of local stores, visit Record Store Day’s Official Website.

“Record Store Day (now Days) has always been important to us,” lead singer/guitarist Brian Aubert said. “We’ve been lucky enough to play special acoustic shows in independent record stores all over the globe. We get to know these places and feel quite blue when we return and they are no longer open. We believe strongly in the importance of these places and will always do whatever we can to help support these stores.”

Speaking about the new tracks, Aubert said “we’re happy to be putting out this 10-inch. ‘Let it Decay’ has been a song we’ve had swimming around our heads since the beginning of the band. It feels great to have finally recorded it and place it in a nice home. ‘Working Title’ is the only Neck of the Woods b-side. We love the song but it just didn’t work in the flow of the album. Again, we’re super happy for the song to finally get heard.”

Sea Wolf frontman Alex Brown Church will be embarking on a solo acoustic tour this winter.

The simple one-man-band will be performing acoustic versions of songs from the entire Sea Wolf catalog from 2007’s Leaves In The River through 2009’s White Water, White Bloom and his latest album, 2012’s Old World Romance.

Join us for an intimate Sea Wolf performance in these either partially or fully seated venues across the country.

Tickets to the following shows are on sale now. Expect more solo acoustic dates to be announced shortly.
