Saharan Gazelle Boy – Amy Needs a Vacation Video

Nathan — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 18:10:58 +0000

Almost exactly a year ago we released a new ep from Saharan Gazelle Boy called Strange Teen Heart. We also released a few videos for a few of the songs made by multi instrumentalist member John Paul Giago. Well he is back at again this time with a video for Amy Needs A Vacation. Our good buddy yvylnyl was awesome enough to give us a premiere for it and call it favorite from last fall.

Saharan Gazelle Boy has mostly been on hold while Capybara has been finishing their new album but we have been hearing some rumblings recently that some new music is on its way soon.

Saharan Gazelle Boy – Strange Teen Heart

We’re excited to launch the video for Strange Teen Heart, the title track off of Saharan Gazelle Boy’s dreamy EP. Directed by John Paul Giago, the video exudes the nostalgic wonder and imagination of one of SGB’s favorite subjects — the achy, twitterpated hearts of our youth.

Also this will be the last week that you can purchase Strange Teen Heart for just $2. Starting next Tuesday it will be available on iTunes.

Take a look and enjoy!

UPDATE: The sales is over but you can now purchase Apple Lossless files for $5. And it is now available on itunes!

New Music from Saharan Gazelle Boy!

Nathan — Tue, 14 Sep 2010 21:10:14 +0000

Strange Teen Heart is the second Record Machine release for Saharan Gazelle Boy, a collaboration between Capybara’s Darin Seal and Sea Change (aka Sarah Handelman). The EP is a super-quad of songs that conjure the love, loneliness and naiveté of teendom while continuing to develop the sleepy, bedroom pop of Saharan’s Airplane’s Can’t.

The melodramatic, synth-pop is the soundtrack for the shy, 1980s, pretty-but-doesn’t-know-it high school girl in all of us.

This new batch of songs was recorded over the course of many sun-soaked afternoons, and we couldn’t wait to get them out to you. A special co-release with the Record Machine and our friends at San Francisco-based Paper Brigade, Strange Teen Heart, is available on our website and will be released on iTunes later this month.

UPDATE: The sales is over but you can now purchase Apple Lossless files for $5. And it is now available on itunes!

$2.00 Albums: Saharan Gazelle Boy – Airplanes Can't

Nathan — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 23:49:45 +0000

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.
