slowtrain: cds + vinyl + dvds

RECENT ARRIVALS

Giant Sand - Provisions CD/LP (Yep Roc)
Giant Sand's new album is cinematic Americana at its most aching -- an album of tremolo soaked guitars, moody piano and secrets whispered over desert winds. Recorded partly in Tucson and Denmark, this version of Giant Sand is comprised of Danish musicians and features talented friends/collaborators such as Neko Case, M. Ward, and Isobell Campbell. LISTEN

Clutch - Full Fathom Five CD (Weathermaker)
CLUTCH return with a dynamic new Live CD (also available as the bands first ever DVD)! Compiled from four locations on the bands 2007/2008 sold out headlining world tour (Boulder, Sayerville, Pittsburgh & Melbourne) these groove-laden live releases prove what the diehard fan base already knows; that CLUTCH have risen to the top of Americas live music pyramid! Theres plenty of classic CLUTCH riffage here including "Escape From the Prison Planet", Texan Book of the Dead", "Elephant Riders", & "Animal Farm". LISTEN

Shugo Tokumaru - Exit CD (Almost Gold)
The 28 year old from Tokyo, Shugo records all of his music himself in his apartment using a Mac and a few microphones. He plays most of the instruments on Exit himself. He sings mainly in Japanese and bases his lyrics around a dream journal. Sometimes his music sounds like a roomful of clockwork toys having a rave and other times it's sweet, slow, and mournful.
