Let's Do Art and Be Best Friends (Eskimo Kiss Records Retrospective)

1- Highly regional and somewhat seminal indie rock label Eskimo Kiss Records will be closing their doors after ten years of releasing records for DIY acts like The Good Graces, Citified, North Elementary and Gregg Yeti. “Let’s Do Art and Be Best Friends,” the label’s final release, serves as a best-of retrospective as well as offering eight rare/unreleased bonus tracks. The record will be available for purchase online (ITunes, eMusic, Amazon, etc.) in stores, and direct from Eskimo Kiss on June 15th .

2 - The Waylons are a four-piece band based in Brooklyn, NY that often doesn’t know what to wear for shows, they don't have tattoos, and aren’t so hot at accessorizing but they do have a girl drummer who curses when she drives a car. The now-Brooklynites hail from all over the country – Vermont, Washington, Pennsylvania, and Illinois – but they’ve adapted well to their new home where they concentrate on writing, recording and performing songs that delight and last.

They have been described as indie, alt-folk, alt-country, Americana, and Brit-influenced pop and have been aptly compared to such diverse voices as Pavement, Simon and Garfunkel, The Replacements, Willie Nelson, Okkervil River,
and the Shins. There are three songwriters in the band, and all four members sing. While guitars, bass and drums lay the foundation to the music, pianos, organ, clarinet, accordian, cello, and tambourines also make appearances in contributing the group’s lush sound. The Waylons’ music has been praised for the level of craft in the songwriting as well as arrangement of the music – both live and in recordings. The Waylons make music you will like in five minutes and love in five years. I can email you their new EP “Out of Love” to test that theory, if you would like.
