Update regarding Unwed Sailor’s tour from the band: I’m very sorry to say this, but due to personal circumstances beyond anyone’s control Unwed Sailor has been forced to cancel their entire tour. The reasons are far complicated and I don’t even know half of it, but certain members of the band were at the last minute unable to be a part of this tour. Due to loss of these members, there is absolutely no way Johnathon or the rest of the guys can continue this tour. There is nothing Johnathon and the rest of the guys wanted more than to be out there playing these shows. We were expecting these to be some of the best shows to date as the band just finished successful tours with Murder By Death, Appleseed Cast and MeWithoutYou. The response to this tour so far has been amazing and the amount of press and promotion that went into the tour by the band, their label, you guys has been very strong. The band promises to move on and get back on their feet as soon as possible and re-schedule these dates in the next couple of months. Thank you for understanding. UnwedSailor Noise Problem…

After several problems, I finally received good test pressings for Efterklang’s one-sided LP. Should be 2-3 weeks until pre-orders ship. Finally! We’ve been anxious about this release for quite a while. This is from the Unwed Sailor press release that Fanatic Promotion is circulating to support their tour and thought it was worth posting. Hopefully it entertains you as much as it did Matt Ralph… Scott Hatch of Burnt Toast Vinyl Reveals What He Loves About Unwed Sailor. Johnathon Ford leads an ever-changing cast of band members through album releases and tours, and each person he chooses represents a different point in his life. Nothing is ever stagnant with Unwed Sailor, and it takes a label like Burnt Toast Vinyl to allow an artist like Ford to be fluid and adaptable with their music.
Since today seems to be a day of surprises, changes, and announcements, I’ll join in and announce the newest band on the btv roster. They’re called byul and hail from Seoul, South Korea. They sing in Korean with some amazing vocals and combine both acoustic and electronic instruments. We’re finalizing the details for the first US full-length which will be released sometime in 2007. If you can read Korean, you can check out their website. High fives and shout outs to the Commissioner (aka Matthew) who tenaciously tracked the band down after hearing a couple of their songs on the Korean film Take Care of My Cat. He visited many file sharing sites, web pages, and catalogs, sharing his fervour with all of us at the label, inspiring us to join in on the fray. We’ve been listening to the big package of records the band sent last week and it’s pretty incredible stuff. We’ll work on getting some mp3s somewhere for you all to hear. I added a few new things to the online store, including the Yndi Halda Enjoy Eternal Bliss 2xLP for pre-order. I’ve taken off some out of print vinyl, so you won’t be confused when…
