Lanco - Hallelujah Nights - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Lanco is comprised of lead singer Brandon Lancaster, bassist Chandler Baldwin, multi-instrumentalist Jared Hampton, drummer Tripp Howell, and lead guitarist Eric Steedly. After they crossed paths in Nashville during their early 20s, they quickly bonded over their shared small town upbringings and moved in together under one roof where they were able to truly gel as a band melding together their unique sound as they strived to pursue their musical dreams. All 11 tracks on InchHallelujah NightsInch were co-written by lead singer and the band's namesake, Brandon Lancaster. The album was produced by Jay Joyce who did a great job maintaining their signature sound that is best described as a mix of Country and Rock. A sound that has been applauded by both music critics and fans alike.

After the amazingly well received debut album Skechbook in 2007 this summer sees the of Shatterproof an album of bone shaking electronica. Shatterproof showcases their unique style in which melodic dance beats blend with a spectrum of flavors; warm chord progressions with filthy subs and heavy crunching beats, all strung together with a hypnotizing clarity. Shatterproof is preceded by the digital single, Future S*x, on July 13th, featuring remixes by some of the most talked about producers out there Subtract (dubstep) and Virgil 'Sparo' Howe (electro). Experiencing Echaskech play live will change your expectations of what an electronic act can achieve in a performance. With their notoriously impressive visual show they are often compared to electronic heavyweights such as Chemical Brothers, Underworld and Orbital but with nu-skool pivot of dubby electro.

For this album, we have decided to record three works written between 1916 and 1926. In that period marked by the First World War and it's aftermath, itis remarkable to note these three composers' widely varying creative approaches and ideas. Composed during a summer stay at the French seaside resort of Capbreton, Frank Martin's piano trio has accompanied us on our journey as an ensemble ever since we were students. It's unique melodic approach combined with complex rhythms based on Irish and Celtic folk music always remain a wonderful challenge and never cease to rekindle our enjoyment in making music together! Two of us - Gergana and Pavlin - have been familiar with the music of Pancho Vladigerov ever since early childhood. His sole piano trio, a monumental work in A Minor, captivates us with it's original melodies and harmonies. Although Vladigerov finished writing it during his studies in Berlin, we also find that it has unmistakable traces of Bulgarian folklore. With joy and enthusiasm, we have incorporated it into our repertoire; now, with this recording, we are thrilled to make it known to a wider audience of interested music lovers. Joaquin Turina's frequently performed Second Piano Trio is a work we discovered somewhat by chance in 2011. After only one rehearsal we were already fascinated with this colorful, highly emotional composition that presents Spanish harmonies and rhythms in a thoroughly authentic way, as in the dancelike Scherzo in typical 5/8 meter. We always look forward to playing this work, renewing our acquaintance with it as with an old beloved friend, and having the opportunity to share it with the audience!
