Continents is the solo project of Kansas City native Jim Button with a ever revolving cast of musicians that make up his full live band. While Continents debut album Land of Plenty came out last year we felt like it never got the attention that it should. That is why we are re-releasing the album this summer and starting our push with our $2.00 album sales. Button is a great song writer that has been crafting 60′s psychedelic pop trips since his time as leader of the Button Band. Button is currently at work on the next Continents full length that we hope to have out later this fall.

As many of you saw on our twitter and tumblr today marks our 7th anniversary. All this week we will be giving out some new music we are excited about. Today we are super excited to present to you the new ep from State Bird entitled Holy Spirits. For those of you that follow State Bird or the label know that this record has been a long time coming. It was recorded late last year at Tiny Telephone Booth in San Fransisco by Ian Pellicci(Deerhoof, Rogue Wave). The new ep finds State Bird treading new ground and new sounds. After a condensing to a smaller line up they focused and recorded 5 of their best songs to date.

Motorboater started this last summer when my buddy Dan Eaton started sending me electropop jams(emphasis on the jams). I loved the songs so much I told Dan to keep making more. As more and more songs came together he played a show with Half-Handed Cloud. Shortly thereafter Motorboater made appearance at our Holiday Showcase. Well here we are 3 months later and we have his P/U Yr Heart debut EP. Motorboater has a few upcoming shows one at The Record Machine Spring Showcase and another at SWSW.

We knew when we committed to releasing an album every month we had some great new releases in the pipe for everyone to enjoy in 2010. I have to say that while every release in our catalog has a certain special place in our hearts this one does for me for several reasons. Saharan Gazelle Boy – Airplanes Can’t marks TRM’s 20th release in just under 7 years. While that might not sound like much it is pretty awesome for us a label to get to that point. This release is also the first release to have several songs recorded at my own home. For those not familiar with the name Saharan Gazelle Boy it is the solo project of Darin Seal from Capybara. Airplanes Can’t encapsulates everything I love about bedroom pop. As with these releases you will be able to hear a stream of the album and if you can’t afford the $2.00 you can download just a song for your email address.
