Rough Trade are proud to announce Dylan LeBlanc’s second studio album ‘Cast The Same Old Shadow’. Twenty-one-year-old Dylan spent most of his youth in Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama (previously home to greats such as Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett and Etta James). Fame’s head, Rick Hall, signed Dylan to its publishing arm as soon as he was legally of age to do so - eighteen. Part of the deal was that Dylan got access to the studio, where he recorded both his debut album ‘Pauper’s Field’ (2010) and the bulk of the forthcoming follow-up ‘Cast The Same Old Shadow’ which was then completed in New Orleans. Co-produced by Dylan and Grammy award-winning engineer Trina Shoemaker (Queens Of The Stone Age, Sheryl Crow, Emmylou Harris), the album has a highly adventurous, cinematic feel. Dylan cites George Harrison’s ‘All Things Must Pass’ as being a major influence on this record, and you may also hear echoes of Gene Clark as well as Glen Cambell’s early work. Of the record, Dylan says: “Even if we change on the inside we will always cast the same old shadow in the light of day. That thought process became the foundation for the structure of this record. I wanted to do something different and exciting, and there’s no wrong way to make music if it comes from within. This is not a self-seeking record, this is an honest record. Wherever we go, there we are. I'm really hoping this album will move people”. Other than writing and recording this album, in recent months Dylan LeBlanc has toured with friends Warpaint, Laura Marling, Drive By Truckers, Rich Robinson and Caitlin Rose. “Greatness beckons” - MOJO “Every once in a while a singer arrives, seemingly out of nowhere, who blows your socks off. This impossibly talented 20-year-old from the American South is the real deal” - The Sun “The new Neil Young” - The Guardian Record Label: Rough Trade/Beggars Group Style: Singer / Songwriter

MYRNINEREST is the new Hallucinatory Cartoon channelled by David Tibet in order to work, outside of CURRENT 93, with some of the artists and friends he admires the most. ""Jhonn," Uttered Babylon", their harrowing and haunted debut, featuring James Blackshaw and David Tibet, is centered on Davids friendship with, and love for, the late Jhonn Balance of COIL as well as Jhonns death and how it affected the circle of friends around Jhonn. With all lyrics by David and all music written by James, the album was recorded during February 2012 with James Blackshaw on classical guitar and harmonium and David as vocalist. Both LP and CD formats contain the same songs, but with very different mixes by different artists, and the tracks on the 2 formats have also been given different names. The vinyl version is mixed by The Bricoleur and comes in a full-colour, reverse-board, sleeve with a 4-page insert containing the albums text and reproductions of two charcoal drawings by Jhonn Balance. The painting on the LP cover is also by Jhonn Balance. Record Label: The Spheres Style: Folk

There are a few people in this world I feel close to. I know thousands, have met way more than that. But seldom do I encounter someone who triggers that old strange feeling. The feeling you get when you meet someone who has the same ancient memories floating around in their bones, the sense of time, the trust in universe, the world inside their human heart. Scott Kelly takes it all in. He doesn't miss much. If you hang out with him for any amount of time you will observe a man who has been shaped well by time. He has suffered, and for that he loves the things that matter even more. He is a husband, a father, a son, a brother. These things flow through his words, his energy, his blood and sweat, his heavy, tattooed hands. That same tone that seared through his broken old Les Paul carries just as well through whatever instrument he sits down to play. And his voice. That bottomless, dark, familiar sound. Scott Kelly can reach beyond what most people hear. There is a place that speaks to him, to me, and on and on. We may not understand these strange connections, but we all know there is something there that guides us. This is the way things are. And we are all blessed to be in this small space to feel it. And then we come to redemption. Forgiveness. The world beyond our world. If you think this is a stretch, then you don't know anything. Scott Kelly and his new partners The Road Home (Noah Landis and Greg Dale) continue to explore The Great Mystery with "The Forgiven Ghost In Me". With another collection of sparse, introspective songs, Kelly delves even further into a personal, private space that he has now come to occupy fully and solely. Recorded by Landis, "The Forgiven Ghost in Me" is the natural progression from his ?rst solo album, "Spirit Bound Flesh", and 2008s "The Wake". With his unmistakeable deep growl, his fearless lyrical honesty, and rich, spare guitar work, Mr. Kelly lays everything on the line. Only a true artist would be so willingly and completely exposed. So intensely focused on truth, redemption, and healing. So in tune with the song he has always heard inside. His path has been a narrow, dark, and difFicult one. But with his most recent work Scott Kelly shows that his strength and vision has endured it all."- Nathan Hall, US Christmas Record Label: Myproudmountain Style: Folk

A Great River only captured a single, brief, impulsive moment. Recorded in a single March evening, it is as pure and honest as music gets. The songs are regretful of the bad times, hopeful of times to come, and respectful of the great power that causes all thing to be. It is a reflection of a lifetime spent with the echoes of Dylan, Young, Petty, Springsteen, and Van Zandt. It draws from the rich musical history of America, the melancholy of Appalachia, and harnesses the "electric vacuum roar" of guitar slingers past and present. The river doesn't ever stop. It is a continuous bringer of whatever it touches, and whomever is chosen to step within its waters. The first time I heard Nate Hall's voice I knew that I was hearing something that would haunt me forever. The unmistakable sound of mountains' wind and the desperation and anguish of truth and experience. Authenticity isn't something you can acquire. Either you are or you are not. Nate's work shows a depth of heart and a pure channeling that you wont come across 10 times in your life. This is the work of the soul that we all know. And the soul that knew us first. You aren't born into this and you don't die out of it. This is eternity, and it brings us all to the center of the river that wants us to be here at this moment. - Scott Kelly Record Label: Myproudmountain Style: Singer/Songwriter

Gorgeous gatefold double LP version comes with download of the album. An underground legend with devoted fans such as Jeff Tweedy and Nick Cave, Bill Fay's new album is his first proper studio album since 1971. "Life is People" features a duet with Jeff Tweedy, a backing band of Mike Deighton (Oasis, Paul Weller, Mother Earth), Tim Weller (Goldfrapp), Mikey Rowe (High Flying Birds, Stevie Nicks), and a moving rendition of Wilco's classic "Jesus Etc." Bill Fay is one of English music's best kept secrets. At the dawn of the 1970s, he was a one-man song factory, with a piano that spilled liquid gold and a voice every bit the equal of Ray Davies, John Lennon, early Bowie, or Procol Harum's Gary Brooker. He made two solo albums but his contract wasn't renewed, which left his LPs and his reputation to become cult items. But he never stopped writing, the music kept on coming. Now, in his late sixties, he has produced "Life Is People", a brand new studio album that shows his profoundly humanist vision is as strong as it ever was. His debut on the underground Decca Nova label, "Bill Fay" (1970), included spacious big band jazz arrangements by Mike Gibbs, but it was the follow-up, "Time Of The Last Persecution" (1971), that cemented his reputation - a harrowing, philosophical and painfully honest diagnosis of an unhealthy society and a messed-up planet, that featured the cream of London's fieriest jazz session players such as guitarist Ray Russell. Unable to make ends meet as a musician, Fay wandered through a succession of jobs for years, writing songs privately. Both solo albums were re-issued in 1998, and when the likes of Jeff Tweedy began singing his praises in the early 2000s, Bill began to come back into view and Wilco even convinced the shy singer to join them onstage in London in 2007. A few CDs of Bill's early demos and home recordings have since emerged, but "Life Is People" is his first properly crafted studio albumsince 1971.He was motivated by American producer Joshua Henry, who grew up listening to his dad's Bill Fay albums on vinyl. Spooling through Bill's home demos, Joshua discovered an incredible trove of material. Matt Deighton (Oasis, Paul Weller, Mother Earth) assembled a cast of backup musicians to bring out the songs' full potential. These include Deighton on guitar, Tim Weller (who's played drums for everyone from Will Young to Noel Gallagher and Goldfrapp), and keyboardist Mikey Rowe (High Flying Birds, Stevie Nicks, etc). In addition, Bill is reunited on several tracks with Ray Russell and drummer Alan Rushton, who played on "Time Of The Last Persecution". And it's a stunning return to form. Ranging from intimate to cosmic, epic but never grandiose, Bill's deeply committed music reminds you of important, eternal truths, and the lessons to be drawn from the natural world, when the materiality and greed threaten to engulf everything. It's time to recognise one of the great English voices. After nearly 50 years, Bill Fay has finally delivered his masterpiece: as rapturous and soul-stirring as any music you'll hear this year Style: Singer/Songwriter

When John Stewart tragically passed away on 19th January, 2008, he left behind a body of work that serves to confirm his reputation as one of the most gifted songwriters of his generation, with a talent for composition that has only seldom been equaled in the rock age. A gifted musician too, he was drafted into the influential folk act The Kingston Trio when founding member Dave Guard departed in 1961, staying with the band for six years before they disbanded in 1967. During his post-Trio era he achieved widespread international prominence and acclaim by penning The Monkees’ number one hit “Daydream Believer”. Alongside a career writing for many popular artists of the day, Stewart also forged a successful solo career that saw him continue performing right up until his death. It was with his sophomore solo album however, 1969's 'California Bloodlines', that John truly established himself as a singer-songwriter in league with the likes of James Taylor, Neil Young and Carole King, an album which to this day remains a classic of the genre.
