batman Posted December 18, 2011 Author Share Posted December 18, 2011 The 12 Days of FREE downloads, 12.17.11 edition: Eksi Ekso Brown Shark, Red Lion [released 3.15.11] Download the album for FREE right here: http://eksiekso.bandcamp.com/album/brown-shark-red-lion And purchase the CD or 2xLP on SALE for 30% off here!: http://www.mylenesheath.com/catalog.html?Vl=27&Tp=2 "Brown Shark, Red Lion is the most interesting and challenging pop album I’ve heard so far this year..." — My Old Kentucky Blog "Eksi Ekso soars, slashes, and burns and chimes again on its sophomore full-length, Brown Shark, Red Lion..." — Boston Globe "a near-perfect synthesis of the band’s ambitious statement of intent and secret love of pop. Linking up sampled noises, instrumental breaks, and chamber swells, Eksi Ekso takes the every-song-is-a-huge-crescendo mentality of general post-rock and arc-welds it to great verse-chorus-bridge popcraft that belies the band’s youth..." — Consequence of Sound "when said power fully clicks together for the group, it's breathtaking..." — All Music Guide "with an album this beautifully written, not to mention wonderfully packaged, pressing play again should be no problem at all..." — Treble Magazine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batman Posted December 18, 2011 Author Share Posted December 18, 2011 The 12 Days of FREE downloads, 12.18.11 edition: Actors&Actresses We Love Our Enemy [reissued 4.12.11] Download the album for FREE right here: http://actorsactresses.bandcamp.com/album/we-love-our-enemy And purchase the CD or 2xLP on SALE for 30% off here!: http://www.mylenesheath.com/catalog.html?Vl=29&Tp=2 "If you’re looking for a pop song, you’ve come to the wrong place. But if you’ve come to be gently lifted aloft, levitated by cascading guitars and mysterious moods...Actors&Actresses aren’t just putting on a show of it. They’re immersed, and you will be too." — The Big Takeover "Huge leaps of artistic sonic undulation make Arrows as multidirectional as its title. The other side of this musically poignant release is that the songs come alive by a sort of rare instrumentation and care in handling that proves itself righteous over and over." — Short & Sweet NYC "It’s easy to get lost listening to Arrows. The band relies on slow tempos and beautiful, somber melodies punctuated by haunting noises and held together by barely there vocals..." — Ink Magazine "It's like huge, post-metal, but with melodic shoegaze vocals and a couple Valium after all the bong rips - slowed down, but still complex." — The New Scheme "It's amazing to hear the depth and complexity that is portrayed on a first release like this..." — Muzik Dizkovery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giants are comfortable in a skin all their own..." — Absolute Punk "at times melodic and captivating, and at others profound and intense..." — The Silent Ballet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's less haze and more hard light on "dogs", making the songs easy to catch and hold..." — The Big Takeover "Dogs is heavy. Dogs is not everyday fare.

sharkticon Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Buy all of them. You need them. Especially Beware Of Safety. They need so much more attention. Can you really deny having one or all of these in your collection and on your turntable? DOOOO IIITTT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 So stoked to have the BOS - the vinyl didn't come with a DL for my iPod. Awesome album. I have an /100 on white if anyone wants to trade (A VC member grabbed me a tour copy). One of the best records of 2011. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Unquestionably asphyxiating, and definitely a test of one’s resolve, From Man to Dust is sadistic, corrupt and endlessly pitiless—everything great heavy metal should be..." — Pop Matters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" — Alternative Press "Lavinia invest their downcast mood music with gauzy Cure-style guitars/vocals ("A Damning Confession"), and make great use of slide guitar and banjo ("Windmills", "Bone & Arrow") alongside the genre's warhorse tremolo and tom drums..." — Decibel Magazine "there remains a certain, enchanting vibe on There Is Light Between Us... there is something unique within this project's retro 90's aesthetic that makes it easily stick out amongst it's peers..." — Outburn Magazine "it's the manner in which Lavinia offset any naval-gazing tendencies with muscular post rock dynamics that ultimately makes 'There Is Light Between Us' such a captivatingly beautiful listen... " — Rock Sound "Bleak, haunting, delicate, and impossibly massive, There Is Light Between Us is a grand gesture of beauty and solemn depth..." — Decoy Music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
