Read More Just quickly, I wanted to mention that Gold Panda has a free song, “MPB” at his website. The song isn’t even from an upcoming release or part of his Lucky Shiner album. …

Gold Panda’s new album Half of Where You Live is streaming right now on NPR. The album comes out tomorrow, June 11th, on Ghostly International/NOTOWN Recordings.
Check out “We Work Night” on Soundcloud:
You may recall that we’ve been talking about Gold Panda since The Guardian announced Gold Panda as “2010 Guardian First Album award”.
With the new album on the verge of release, a massive North American tour is on the way. It’s kicking off September 11th at the Basement in Georgia. This is the perfect time to catch Gold Panda in smaller venues (as opposed to massive festivals like Glasto and Longitude).

Said The Whale is touring and will be performing at the Cedar Cultural Center on July 18. The band is from Vancouver and consists of songwriters Tyler Bancroft and Ben Worcester, drummer Spencer Schoening, keyboardist Jaycelyn Brown and bassist Nathan Shaw. They formed in 2007 and released Howe Sounds/Taking Abalonia in 2008. Other albums quickly followed: Islands Disappear (2009) and Little Mountain (2012). These albums earned much attention from the media and so they produced a documentary, Winning America.
Said The Whale was nominated for two JUNO Awards in 2013 for Alternative Album of the Year. The band just released another new collection of songs consisting of three songs, the I Love You EP. Catch them if you get a chance!

Chelsea Wolfe’s third album Pain is Beauty, is coming out on Sargent House this year. The album is a love letter to nature, as Wolfe described the album as, “an exploration of ancestry, how the mythology, landscapes and traditions of our ancestors affect our personalities today. Honesty is what initially drew me to music, and I’ve been more honest and open with myself than ever through these songs. There is peace in truth. There is clarity in solitude. And there is power within simplicity and focus. Love is not always easy. Tormented love is something I understand more than society’s skewed idea of what love should be. Love is indelible, severe, earnest, merciful. To push forward against the odds is to make history”.
In support of the new album, a fall tour is scheduled:
