Only 'Verb Can Break Your Heart Now on Vinyl

Recorded over three days in 2008, Only 'Verb Can Break Your Heart has been long gestating for a physical release having previously only received a hushed digital release in 2013.

While appearing to flirt with a multitude of genres, the LP's songs were written only with big melodies in mind. Double-picking, counterpoint, trumpets, acoustic guitars, and lots of reverb create the distinct sound of Only 'Verb Can Break Your Heart.

Available for purchase on theverb.bandcamp.com/merch

The allbum is pressed on 160gm vinyl and contains a free .wav download.

The Madeira - Ancient Winds CD

The Madeira - Ancient Winds CD (Double Crown)

The Madeira are back with their most diverse release to date - soaring guitars, pounding rhythms and exquisite, nuanced songwriting make this perhaps the best release by the band so far. Their previous studio CD, Tribal Fires, was named as the runner-up in Pipeline Instrumental Review's "Album Of The Year" awards for 2012 (and their latest release, the live Sonic Cataclysm album, won the Pipeline album of the year award last year), but this disc somehow manages, through the relentless efforts of all four musicians, to top it in what's sure to be one of the top releases of 2015. Ancient Winds features 12 original songs as well as a cover of The Atlantics' "Coral Island". Several of the songs were collaborations with some of the premier guitarists and songwriters of the last 50 years, including Jim Skiathitis of The Atlantics, Danny Snyder of The TomorrowMen, Jeremy Dehart of the Aqualads and Alex Faide of Los Twang! Marvels. Original cover art was created by Lorraine Schleter and CD layout by Ferenc Dobronyi.


Tracks: Journey To The Center Of The Surf - Hail, Poseidon! - Ancient Winds - Sirena - Caravela - Farthest Shore - Dawn In Cadiz - Coral Island - Prelude To Launch - The Argonaut - Here Be Dragons - Leviathan - Into The Deep

The Madeira - Ancient Winds CD - DCCD65 - $12.75 (Order From Double Crown Records)
