Album reissue "When You Land Here, It's Time to Return"
Before The Shins, was Flake Music (originally just Flake). James Mercer, founder and frontman of The Shins and co-founder of Broken Bells, formed Flake in 1992 with drummer Jesse Sandoval, bassist Neal Lang and keyboardist Marty Crandall. The band toured with Modest Mouse and Califone and released their only full-length album “When You Land Here, It’s Time to Return” shortly before dismantling in 1999. The album was largely overshadowed by the flash-success of Mercer and Sandoval’s side-project The Shins, which each of Flake Music’s members played in for some amount of time. Newly remastered and remixed, “When You Land Here” is out via reissue to the satisfaction of many indie-rock connoisseurs.
“When You Land Here, It’s Time to Return” is out November 24th on Aural Apothecary via Sub Pop.

Having transplanted to the West Coast, the (former) New York indie band, TV on the Radio is back with a fifth album, “Seeds” . The followup to 2011’s “Nine Types of Light” marks the first LP release since the passing of former bassist, Gerard Smith, in 2011. “Seeds” is characterized as a celebration by the band. Filled with upbeat sounds and optimistic lyrics, the album is a beautiful break from the band’s usual experimental approach to music, that is just as great.
“Seeds” is set to release November 18th via Harvest Records

The EP is set to release November 18th via Wichita Recordings
