The final heartphone releases will be Mike Downey’s Audio Graves 2 which are coming, most likely, this autumn.

Thanks for following along!

Upcoming heartphone compilation

mike — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 15:41:33 +0000

Hey gang,
Just wanted to chime in and give some news about the compilation I’m currently putting together. The title is Codes for Go. The artwork is completed (thanks Joe!) and most of the submissions are in. Just let me just say that WOW, there are some amazing songs awaiting your ears. The artists, which I’m going to keep secret until the tracklist is official, come from different corners of the globe. Some names you’ll surely recognize and hopefully you’ll find some new artists to jump onboard with.

The compilation is slated to be released the first week of 2010. Have a great holiday season!

Welcome Tinyfolk to heartphone

mike — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:46:43 +0000

Hey everyone,
Hope you’re all doing well. The Swedish autumn is pretty much packing its bags and making way for mister winter. And in my eyes the winter months, especially in cold climates like this, are reserved for holing up and being creative. The beach has turned to a skating rink and I have holes in my socks.

So I’m really happy to announce some new heartphone music in the pipe: Bloomington, IN-by-way-of-Chicago Russ Woods will be releasing his next Tinyfolk full length on heartphone this December. The album is entitled Black Bears. Stay tuned for more details.

If the name Tinyfolk already sounds familiar to you, well that’s because there are a lot of releases already floating around the internet and most of them are avail for free download. I would suggest starting at the Tinyfolk CLLCT page and grabbing what you don’t already have.

And of course, you already know that Tinyfolk and I collaborated on a little EP under the name A Football Fields last year. Don’t have it already? Had it but your sister spilled Kool-Aid on your computer and fried it? Go grab it right here.
