Last release date of 2012 for us, and Erased Tapes gives us a taste of something for 2013, a fantastic 10" debut: Recorded at Phoenix Sound inside the world-famous Pinewood Studios ? home of the British film industry and a location chosen by Michael Price as 'a haven for me in a noisy world' ? December 17th marks his debut release as the latest addition to the Erased Tapes family in the form of 'A Stillness'; a four-track limited edition vinyl including printed music sheets and high quality downloads. Renowned for his work as film composer, producer and award-winning music editor, this small collection of songs shows a more personal side of Price, a chance for him to create music without any scripts and guidelines. IN HIS OWN WORDS: 'I'm trying to create a small Stillness in a noisy, hyper-connected world. I wanted to make something personal and real, with musicians that I've known for a long time. Usually we've all got headphones on, chasing click tracks and fitting our performances to picture. It was time to get the headphones off, stop all the clocks and ticking, really connect musically and try to capture a moment. To be able to make something intimate and authentic in an often noisy world is a real pleasure. When I heard what we had, there was only one collection of musicians and artists that felt a natural fit, and that was Erased Tapes. I'd always admired Robert's artistic vision, and the way that he created a nurturing, collaborative environment around the artists he worked with. It's a privilege to be even a small part of that.' ? MICHAEL PRICE Limited edition 10", includes Sheet Music and Download Code.

'The results are simply beautiful. There's a classical heritage on show, but alongside this Michael Price has a gift for simple melodies which pierce through the veneer of the everyday.'

Dublin, Ireland trio Autumn Owls are set to release their debut full-?‐ length album, Between Buildings, Toward The Sea, on Webby Award-?‐winning Epitonic.com's newly formed label. Gary McFarlane (vocals/guitar), Adam Browne (bass) and Will PurHll (drums) headed to Chicago this spring to record the album with Brian Deck (Modest Mouse/Iron & Wine). They then returned home to mxi the album with longHme collaborator Ciaran Bradshaw. Deck and Bradshaw captured perfectly the band's deep, rich textures and emoHonal depth, no more apparent then on first the single from the record, "Great AtlanHc DriQ". Opening track, "Semaphores" opens in a haunHng whisper, before unfolding and engulfing the listener. That feeling of being engulfed runs throughout the record, someHmes soothing, oQen menacing, always thrilling. Autumn Owls released two EPs prior, garnering excellent reviews in Ireland and the UK, enjoying steady airplay from 2FM, Today FM, Phantom FM and the BBC. They have toured extensively supporHng such arHsts as DeVotchKa, Real Estate, Micah P Hinson and Early Day Miners, as well as playing their own headlining shows. In North America they have performed at such events as SXSW, CMJ, NXNE and CMW. Tour plans are in the works. FILTER Magazine -?‐ "'Great AtlanHc DriQ' explores a sonic atmosphere so filled with pathos you can't help but to close your eyes." Dan Hegarty, Radio Host, 2FM (Dublin) -?‐ "Between Buildings, Toward The Sea is fantasHc. You can hear echoes of The NaHonal, Unforgebable Fire-?‐era U2, and Grant Lee Buffalo." Alan Cross -?‐ "'Great AtlanHc DriQ' is as atmospheric as it is powerfully immersive -?‐ it starts with a quiet whisper and then opens it mouth up wide, to swallow the listener up."
