Our retailers have really shown a lot of excitment and interest in our new tablet stations and marketing capabilities. We are pleased with our growth in label marketing and looking ahead to all the creative ways we can spotlight artists to increase sales.

Remember, we can also geographically target a tour along with the new releases, and video and signage remains one of our most powerful sales tools.

EARLY LISTEN AND PREVIEW

Looking ahead to next week's chart, We are excited to present an Early Listen for Do Not Engage, the latest offering from The Pack A.D.  Long celebrated on the fringes of Canada's endlessly fruitful indie-rock scene as a feral live act nonpareil and a band destined to eventually make that one record that finally puts it over the top, The Pack A.D. has delivered the album that should finally, genuinely yes put it over the top. Do Not Engage reunites The Pack A.D. with Detroit producer Jim Diamond (White Stripes, Electric Six, The Mooney Suzuki, Dirtbombs), a friend-turned-collaborator who insisted upon working behind the boards for Unpersons a record that would go on to earn the band its first Juno Award nomination in 2013 for Breakthrough Group Of The Year and has proven himself something of an ideal ghost third member by coaxing Black and Miller to their finest work yet on Do Not Engage. The album is available now for pre order and you can preview the tracks here as well as visit instore to hear the full album.

Northern California band Sleepy Sun, sometimes seem to have lived the lives of a hundred bands. They have toured incessantly, shed old skin, tore down walls with riffs, and explored black smoke, barrel-dark songs, and studio sheen all with a core that has survived since the band crawled from the dusty sage-scented Santa Cruz underbrush. It's that core, and the experiential sum of those hundred lives, which shape the band's fourth release Maui Tears. In the sounds of Maui Tears, you hear echoes of nights shared with fellows and allies like Arctic Monkeys and Black Angels...a band growing self-assured as studio presence...the elasticity and tensions of a creative brotherhood. And like every Sleepy Sun record, it deftly walks the borders and boundaries between hooky power pop classicism and hazy, primer-grey Camaro rock all colored by a lurking sense of fog, unease, and mystery at the corners.  The album is available now for pre order and you can preview the tracks and watch the video for lead single The Lane here as well as visit instore to hear the full album.


For more information on these and other releases out this week, check out our New Releases charts by week section and don't forget that many of these titles are also available on vinyl.
