APPEARING ON SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE MARCH 1 

Morning Phase Cover Art

“a triumph… After listening to Morning Phase 50 times, I can’t find a single thing wrong with it… You don’t get many albums like this in your lifetime… I can’t imagine someone who couldn’t find some succor or beauty here”–THE NEW YORKER 

“swoon-worthy”–ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

“rich and inventive, sprouting beautiful and unexpected details at every turn… the gorgeously conceived Beck album we’ve been waiting more than a decade for”–STEREOGUM

The single most anticipated album of the year to date can now be heard in its entirety on iTunes Radio. iTunes First Play: Beck’s Morning Phase is is available now at http://smarturl.it/MPRADIO for a full week on advance of its February 25 release on Capitol Records.

Early raves on Morning Phase continue to pile up in the run-up to its release–additionally Beck was announced last week as musical guest on Saturday Night Live‘s March 1 return.

Likened by some to a companion piece of sorts to his 2002 masterpiece Sea ChangeMorning Phasefeatures many of the same musicians who played on that record–and who also currently accompany Beck live: Justin Meldal-Johnsen, Joey Waronker, Smokey Hormel, Roger Joseph Manning Jr., and Jason Falkner. Preceded by the sublime first single “Blue Moon” (http://smarturl.it/BlueMoon), the stunning “Waking Light” (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixtNYSiNyO4) and the recent live debuts of “Morning,” “Unforgiven” and “Wave,” Morning Phase harkens back to the stunning harmonies, classic Californian song craft and staggering emotional impact of that record, while surging forward with infectious optimism.

THIRD MAN RECORDS PRESENTS: MICHAEL KIWANUKA – “YOU’VE GOT NOTHING TO LOSE” b/w “WAITIN’ ROUND TO DIE” TMR 215

OUT TODAY; AVAILABLE ON VINYL AND iTUNES

ROLLING STONE VIDEO PREMIERE FOR “YOU’VE GOT NOTHING TO LOSE” NOW LIVE AT http://rol.st/1gA9oD4

Michael Kiwanuka
Michael Kiwanuka

Third Man Records is delighted to present Michael Kiwanuka’s contribution to the TMR Blue Series of releases.

Kiwanuka, a 25 year-old UK native of Ugandan heritage, was raised in north London where he split his time between session work and local gigs. Along the way, having found footing as a solo artist, he was signed to Communion Records, then Polydor, and has since performed throughout Europe and North America too-touring in direct support of Adele. He made his way through Nashville this past summer with just enough pause and aplomb to commit these morsels to tape. The A-side “You’ve Got Nothing to Lose” is an original composition, featuring The Buzzards’ Dominic Davis on upright bass and Cory Younts on piano, joined also by fellow balladeer Lillie Mae Rische on fiddle. Their contributions transform his work into a stone-cold groove with almost orchestral underpinnings, making it a fitting extension of their previous Blue Series.

Produced by Jack White, the single also features a chilling rendition of Townes Van Zandt’s infamous “Waitin’ ‘Round to Die” on the B-side, the perfect compliment to the timbre and mood of the A-side.

A-SIDE
You’ve Got Nothing to Lose
Michael Kiwanuka: Vocals, Acoustic Guitar
Lillie Mae Rische: Acoustic Guitar, Fiddle
Cory Younts: Piano
Dominic Davis: Upright Bass
Jeremy Lutito: Drums

B-SIDE
Waitin’ ‘Round to Die
Originally by Townes Van Zandt
Silver Dollar Music, Inc. (ASCAP)
Michael Kiwanuka: Vocals, Acoustic Guitar
Lillie Mae Rische: Acoustic Guitar, Fiddle
Cory Younts: Wurlitzer, Piano
Dominic Davis: Upright Bass
Mickey Grimm: Drums

Coinciding with the single’s release is Rolling Stone‘s exclusive premiere for the visually striking and truly compelling video for “You’ve Got Nothing To Lose”, now live at http://rol.st/1gA9oD4. Directed by Nashville-based critic and director/curator for Third Man Records’ Light & Sound Machine film series James Cathcart, the video is a powerful reflection on acceptance and misconception; the story unfolds as a woman gets ready to attend her young son’s birthday party. Cathcart explains his concept for the video: “Michael’s song has this air about it – of a father figure imparting wisdom. So I looked for an unexpected context to apply that to. It’s about misleading perceptions – not just in terms of the character’s gender, but also from what we expect of the people she encounters. Acceptance comes from a camo-clad country boy, while it’s the presumably enlightened young person that harasses her on the bus… we were able to strike just the right tone: sweetness tainted by melancholy…or perhaps it’s the other way around? We’ve all had bittersweet birthdays.”

Order the 7” single at http://thirdmanstore.com/michael-kiwanuka-youve-got-nothing-to-lose-7-vinyl, available everywhere TODAY on both iTunes and 7” vinyl at finer record stores.

Following last week’s release, Broken Bells’ After the Disco (Columbia) has debuted at #5 on the Billboard 200 chart (#3 in Canada) with nearly 45,000 copies sold. This news comes after the band claimed the #1 slot on the iTunes Top Albums chart on the day of After the Disco‘s release. James Mercer and Brian Burton’s sophomore album has already garnered widespread praise from critics and fans, putting it squarely in the running for one of 2014’s best albums.

“They don’t flaunt their cleverness; they let a listener discover it after the songs sink in”–THE NEW YORK TIMES

“‘We have Danger Mouse working with us,’ said the singer. ‘He’s a great soul and beautiful dude and the [Broken Bells] album is pretty amazing. [It’s got] extraordinary, melancholy melodies. As a singer, let me say: This boy [James Mercer] really knows how to be truthful in the telling of the lyrics he writes. There’s something about his voice that is very compelling. The kid’s a star!'” (Bono speaking to Rolling Stone)

Last week, Broken Bells announced additional tour dates to supplement their March East Coast tour. Notable festival stops include Coachella, New York’s Governors Ball and Sasquatch! in Washington. A full schedule is available below.

“You don’t come back from the dead without a story to tell, you don’t scrape and claw your way to the top of the hard rock hierarchy without more ammo on your belt than the rest, and Queens of the Stone Age brought it all to the frigid evening of their Raleigh show…
the best hard rock band in the world right now.” –YES! WEEKLY

BROKEN BELLS UNVEIL LYRIC VIDEO FOR “LEAVE IT ALONE”

AFTER THE DISCO ROCKETS TO #1 ON iTUNES

WEST COAST TOUR DATES ANNOUNCED

BB_JM1_9031_JamesMinchin© James Minchin

Fresh off the release of their new album, After the Disco (Columbia), Broken Bells have unveiled a new lyric video for the track “Leave It Alone.” But this is no mere lyric video. The visuals incorporate stark surroundings and Broken Bells’ signature pink aesthetic as geometric shapes combine to form beautiful shapes and body parts. The video is now viewable here: http://bit.ly/1nTXQxH

Upon yesterday’s release, After the Disco rocketed up the iTunes charts landing squarely at #1. For those who have yet to join the fun, the album is available here: http://bit.ly/1enmILP. Additionally, Broken Bells are making quite the splash on the airwaves as they approach Top 5 at AAA and Top 15 at Alternative.

Broken Bells fans in New York City may have been seeing flashes of pink yesterday. The intergalactic heroine from the band’s featurette, “After the Disco,” popped up at various locations throughout NYC including Chelsea Market and Grand Central Station. It was awfully nice of her to stop by Earth to celebrate Brian Burton and James Mercer’s big release day.

To round out what has been a busy week for Burton and Mercer, the duo will embark on a West Coast tour which includes a stop at Washington’s Sasquatch! Music Festival over Independence Day weekend. During this tour, $1 from every ticket sold will be donated to the B612 Foundation. B612 is currently developing its Sentinel Mission which will seek to “discover and catalog 90 percent of the asteroids larger than 140 meters in Earth’s region of the solar system.” By conducting the Sentinel Mission, B612 hopes to provide protection and asteroid detection for Earth while helping pave the way for future space exploration.

AFTER THE DISCO OUT NOW

After the Disco Cover

Broken Bells celebrated the 50th anniversary of The Beatles’ landmark Ed Sullivan Show appearance last night with an innovative re-imagining of the Fab Four’s “And I Love Her” during The Late Show with David Letterman. For their tribute, Brian Burton and James Mercer combined “And I Love Her” with a loop of Ringo Starr’s original beats from “I Am The Walrus.” The performance also featured a video montage of Starr drumming which was then edited together to sync up with Burton and Mercer’s hybridized cover. The video can be viewed now at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2tPkSbcvhQ.

Following their performance, the band sat down for an “Internet soirée” with The Late Show‘s Paul Shaffer. During this interview, Mercer and Burton discussed the creation of their audio/visual tribute and how they became Beatles fans. The interview is available in full here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AK0JULnxVhI.

There is more cause for celebration this week as Broken Bells’ sophomore full-length, After the Disco, is now available for purchase via iTunesAmazon and of course local music retail outlets. Early reviews establish After the Disco as an early album of the year contender:

“Holds way more promise than most”- NEW YORK MAGAZINE

“At once sleek and world-weary, often homing in on that sexy moment of malaise when the Seventies wanted to turn into the Eighties so badly but didn’t quite know how to do it yet”-ROLLING STONE

“Music history is littered with star collaborations and supergroups that didn’t work or last… Broken Bells is one of the rare exceptions”-AMERICAN WAY

“The indie power duo deliver the American Hustle of songs-all Me Decade grooviness and narrative tension.”-ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

BROKEN BELLS ANNOUNCE TUMBLR IRL RECORD RELEASE PARTY

JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE! PERFORMANCE TO AIR JANUARY 29

AFTER THE DISCO NOW STREAMING ON ITUNES

Broken Bells Tumblr

“The duo”s self-titled 2010 debut featured an admittedly unclassifiable fusion of rock, hip-hop beats, electronica and more, and After the Disco pushes even further, which could be just the kick the listless rock genre needs… the sweet melodies on the new album could catapult Broken Bells to the success that “Crazy” once earned…” — TIME

On Friday, January 31, James Mercer and Brian Burton, better known as Broken Bells, will celebrate the release of their sophomore full length album, After the Disco, at Baby”s All Right in Brooklyn, NY.  The party is being presented by Tumblr IRL and will feature a special acoustic performance by Mercer and Burton along with an art exhibit showcasing works by Jacob Escobedo and photography by Danger Mouse (Burton).
