Happy New Year!

Thanks for your support during 2008. It’s been a very busy year for us. Unwed Sailor’s Little Wars was released in the Spring and toured several times in the US and recently in Europe in support. We were also happy to release Denison Witmer’s Carry the Weight and Starflyer 59’s Dial M on vinyl. We were very relieved to wrap up the Starflyer 59 Ghosts of the Future 7″ series after a lot of hard work coordinating production, assembling 7″, and mailing out so many small boxes. We’re also very excited about Soporus’ first full-length 24,110 arriving just in time for a quiet winter season. 2008 saw the completion of Bosque Brown’s Baby album and great progress in our Byul full-length release. Before the end of the year, we sent off Baby to be mastered to vinyl along with Erik Enocksson’s Farväl Falkenberg soundtrack. For 2009, we’re looking forward to releases from Bosque Brown, Byul, Erik Enocksson, Birchville Cat Motel, Steven R. Smith, and Half-handed Cloud. For those interested in year end lists, Matt Stone (Soporus, Saxon Shore) and I wrote some quick lists for our friends at Tangzine: here and here. Feel free to read and make fun of us.…Continue readingHappy New Year!

It’s turning into an almost overwhelming period of activity around btv hq.

I’m really excited to be able to get to release this byul record, they’ve fully captured our attention and we’ve been raging a byul obsession for quite some time now. Their graphics and packaging are simply some of the most amazing I’ve seen and I can’t wait to see what the artwork looks like for the US release. The mixes for Bosque Brown’s Baby have been in heavy rotation along with the byul master. Both are set to get mastered over the next couple of weeks. It’s looking like late winter/early spring 2009 releases. These will come out on cd and LP. I’d like to take this time to officially announce that Burnt Toast Vinyl will be issuing Erik Enocksson’s Farväl Falkenberg soundtrack on cd in the US. This is a beautiful album and originally issued by Denmark’s Kning Disk. We’re working on a formal release date. Ever since I got this record late last year, it’s been in heavy…Continue readingbyul masters, bosque brown mixes, erik enocksson slated for release on btv

Unwed Sailor is on the road again! Their first show is tonight in a week and half long jaunt that will find them hitting the Forecastle Festival in Louisville on Saturday. Be sure to see them bring the rock. Yndi Halda are packing their bags and making last minute preparations to make their way to the US. Their visas were approved and they will be arriving this Sunday. I’ve updated a couple of dates for their monthlong itinerary. It’s their first American tour, so you can’t miss them! If you happen to be in the area, Byul is playing in Seoul this Friday. Hopefully Mike from Soporus will make the show if his plane lands on time. Here’s an awesome flyer for the show. Their album has finally been recorded and they’re working on artwork as we speak. :::scott:::
