Bonus Tracks Announced

(October 30, 2008) – Sweden’s The (International) Noise Conspiracy today announce more select performances in the U.S. in mid-November. The band will be in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco just a few days before their latest disc, The Cross Of My Calling, is released on November 25, 2008 on Vagrant/American.

Two exclusive bonus tracks will be available on iTunes (“Lost Children” and “Heart of the Spectacle”) beginning Nov. 25 and eMusic will be making “Execution Squad Politics” available exclusively for their subscribers.

The quartet recorded the fourteen-track set at Sunset Sound in Hollywood with legendary producer Rick Rubin at the helm.

The (International) Noise Conspiracy formed in northern Sweden in 1998 and quickly became known around the world for their self-aware political stance buoyed by their 70’s-inflected rock ‘n’ roll swagger. The group has released four full-lengths, countless singles and toured around the world multiple times.

Electric Owls to release Magic Show EP, fall tour with Bishop Allen

ELECTRIC OWLS ANNOUNCE EP, FALL SOLO TOUR WITH BISHOP ALLEN

MAGIC SHOW EP OUT NOVEMBER 4, 2008

(October 1, 2008) – ELECTRIC OWLS announce the release of Magic Show, a four-track EP that includes two tracks from the band’s forthcoming full-length debut, as well as two home-recordings. The EP will be released on November 4 on Vagrant and will be available online as well as at upcoming shows. Physical copies of the EP will be stamped and hand-signed and numbered by Electric Owls creator Andy Herod.

Singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Herod, along with guitarist Jason Caperton (The Comas), bassist Matt Gentling (Band of Horses, Archers of Loaf) and drummer Cully Symington (Gutter Twins) convened at Echo Mountain studio in Asheville, NC over the summer to record songs that Herod began writing in late 2007.

“This record started a year ago when I decided to stop playing music for a while because being in a band was ruining my life,” says Herod. “And being in a band WILL ruin your life if you do it long enough. No one tells you that. So, after our last tour, I left New York to explore, visit friends and family, and eventually settle somewhere else when my money ran out. But I certainly had no plans to make a record.”

”What happened though is that I started listening to music again. Long story short, I got so excited about music, and more specifically, good songwriting, that I started singing and playing for hours a day again. The songs on the Electric Owls record came about in that 3-4 week period. Now here I am, attempting to ruin my life again.”

Fans will get a taste of the new songs when Herod plays solo as opening act for Bishop Allen on their November tour. “I have never been more excited to play a batch of songs in front of people. That's the truth,” says Herod. See all dates below.

Electric Owls will be releasing their full-length debut in early 2009.
