Sin Fang Bous free MP3: "Catch the Light"

Check out the single, "Catch the Light" from Icelandic experimental pop artist Sin Fang Bous (aka Sindri Mar Sigfusson) off his solo debut, Clangour (out now on Morr Music).

Sin Fang Bous' "Catch the Light" 

Founder of Reykjavik-based folksy pop outfit Seabear (whose debut dropped on Morr in the summer of 2007), Sigfusson's solo project is "a shortened version of the singer's name, his teeth, and his conception of how is new music sounds" - a seemingly "eclectic venture" compared to his other works.

Sally Shapiro's second album, My Guilty Pleasure, out now on CD & vinyl through Paper Bag Records, follows on the success of her debut, Disco Romance.

Message from The Dead Trees: 

"After a nice leisurely summer spent in New York City, Portland Oregon, Martha’s Vineyard, Los Angeles, Brazil, and everywhere in between, The Dead Trees are back together scheming and plotting. This September-October we will be co-headlining a tour with our great pals The Rosewood Thieves. Only to wrap up in time to go into the studio and record the follow up to our 2008 smash hit LP “King of Rosa.” As the specifics are still being worked out I can’t tell you too much about the record. But if all goes as planned it’s sure going to be radical, and probably go to #1. I have included a bunch of pictures our recent trip to Brazil on the “Little Joy Family Van Tour” featuring Adam Green, The Dead Trees, and Little Joy. Yeah, it was great, and now we’re pals with Caetano.  Tell your friends, tell your mom.  Much Love, Michael Ian Cummings."
