2008 Year End Sampler and Wrap Up

2008 has been one of the best years for Record Machine since we started this record label 5 years ago. We had really great releases from State Bird, Interstates, and Max Justus. Our plans for 2009 are even more ambitious. We already have 6 really great records lined up for next year. As a little early Christmas present we put together this year end wrap up and preview for next year. Some of these songs have been floating around for awhile but we decided to put them all together for you. You can also download the songs from Max Justus and Sam Billen.

2009 Record Machine Releases:

• Perhapsy- Perhapsy (The solo debut of Derek Barber from The Winston Jazz Routine and Every Gentle Air)
• Sam Billen – Untitled. (The second solo record and first on Record Machine from former Billions front man Sam Billen)
• Caleb Winn- Untitled (The solo debut from Caleb Winn from The Winston Jazz Routine, State Bird, and Every Gentle Air)
• Max Justus- No Mercy (Max Justus already has a follow up to last years Five Leaping Leopards. From the songs we have heard so far the title is pretty fitting)
• State Bird – Untitled (State Bird is also ready to follow up their last record Mostly Ghostly)
• Of Asaph – We Draw Crowds(Anthology) (An anthology of songs from the pre-Interstates band from Alex O’nan and Kyle Noltemeyer)

Press: State Bird, Interstates, and Max Justus

We have been getting some reviews of State Bird’s new single and MP3 of the month. We are going to be releasing the entire 4 New Songs ep on Monday August 18th from our website.

From Tuneage

“I Don’t Love U Anymore” comes off their upcoming EP 4 New Songs and does a great job of showcasing what the band does well. Plus, for a title that implies downtrodden subject matter, the song is surprisingly bouncy, and I think it’s a great song for the pre-Friday blues.

Full Review: Here

From Mixtape Maestro:

Sampling musical textures from the Caribbean, South Africa and other sources of exotic noise, “Anymore” makes the always-awkward confessional ring with a jangly, effervescent glee.

Interstates debut record Run Run was reviewed by our French friends Beehave.fr

In French:

Run Run illuminera votre été de moments forts dans n’importe quel contexte, et il y a fort à parier que vous deviendrez vite accros aux souvenirs qu’évoqueront pour vous les géniales mélodies de cet album.

Translation:

Run Run will illuminate your summer(s) with powerfull moments whatever you go through, whatever you’re up to, and wherever you are. And you can bet you’ll get hooked to all the memories those marvelous tunes will print into you.

Full Review: French / English Translation

Our newest artist Max Justus got a review of his first single called Seven. A Limmerick Ox called it:

With backbeats steadier than the Rock of Gibraltar, synth pads glowing like sharp, glittering neon, and keystrikes coming at you like laser beams, it’s your smooth, sunglasses-at-night theme for whenever it’s just you against the naked city.
