—The Washington Post

The full album will be released onJanuary 15 via Swoon Moon Music.

Waggoner handpicked a close group of musicians and family members to work on these recordings and created music throughout the latter half of 2014. She had a self-imposed deadline for the recording saying, “My only goal was to finish it before my son was born. It came down literally to the day.” While creating the music for the album, Waggoner found herself drawing on her present while revisiting her earliest work. She sought to continue an ongoing theme started in her debut EP Fresh Pair of Eyes, which theLondon Sunday Times called, “One of the most exciting releases to come out of America in 2007.” She wanted to tackle directly a conversation about aging of which she says, “the beauty that lies within every notch on your belt, the good ones and the bad.” The Texas native has worked with a wide collection of artists including Jack White, playing piano on his solo projects Blunderbuss and Lazaretto, plus orchestrating strings on the new DeadWeather album Dodge and Burn. Waggoner was also a member of the all female touring band,The Peacocks, for White’s Blunderbuss. Notably, she has also played piano on Beck’s song “I’m Down” and arranged for ABC’s “Nashville.” Her album Originatordebuted at #1 on iTunes Singer/Songwriter charts and was heralded by Entertainment Weekly as a “bold step forward.” That same year, she played festivals including Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits. Her songs have been widely used in television licensing including programs such as “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Pretty Little Liars” and others.

The Red Krayola Perform Corrected Slogans Tomorrow at REDCAT!
RECORRECTED SLOGANS - THE STRUGGLE CONTINUES THIS WEEKEND IN LA!
The Red Krayola. Let's not be hyperbolic or anything (what, we exaggerate?) but Mayo Thompson and The Red Krayola have essentially inverted entire genres of music with their redefinitions of 'rock' over the years. They've managed to make albums entirely distinct from each other time and again. However, this weekend, for the first time, Mayo will lead The Red Krayolathrough a live set of the
Corrected Slogans
albums at the esteemed REDCAT (at CalArts Downtown Center for Contemporary Arts) in Los Angeles tomorrow.
Originally released in 1976, Corrected Slogans is a raucous, unabashed and, gloriously piece of provisional propaganda. Projecting from sparse instrumental setting and showcasing a profusion of collected voices, it is equivocally unlike any other recorded Red Krayola. Idiosyncratic and aggressive, it's required listening for anyone who calls themselves a fan of conceptual art! Travel from far away if you have to, this is NOT something to be missed. And so, we won't. Will you?INFO AND TICKETS HERE:

James Supercave Premiere Animated Short Mashup Video Via Nerdist
JAMES SUPERCAVE DEBUT ANIMATED VIDEO MASHUP WITH SINGLE 'BETTER STRANGE' AND ACCLAIMED UK ANIMATOR SOPHIE KOKO GATE'S AWARD WINNING SHORT 'HALF WET'BAND TO HEADLINE THE ECHO ON NOVEMBER 11TH "An excellent album on the way with Better Strange."-Derrick Rossignol, NERDIST James Supercave is proud to present their newest project combining recently released single, "Better Strange" and acclaimed UK-animator Sophie Koko Gate's short 'Half Wet' premiering yesterday via Nerdist! The video, edited by Moxie Bellucci, is as innovative in ideas as James Supercave's music. Of the track's central meaning, Supercave confesses, "It's about a girl who floored me. I caught her in that moment of wild where she was completely uninhibited and real. The song is a plea to stay in that moment - you're better when you're yourself. Your weird, broken, beautiful self." Gate shares an intense love for all things strange, evident in her award-winning short 'Half Wet.' Of her animation, the band states it was "Love at first sight. It's like 90s cartoons did the same drugs that our music is hooked on. Beautiful, bizarre, hilarious." A perfect mashup of equal parts peculiarity and odd symbiosis- the music backing obscure ideas and the animation falling seamlessly into place with all things strange. Check out the video here! The single serves as the title track off James Supercave's much anticipated debut album to be released early next year via Fairfax Recordings. KCRW's Jason Bentley named James Supercave, "One of 5 LA musicians to watch." If singles are first impressions, "Better Strange" is a sweat-drenched handshake on a warehouse dance floor. The track cuts the familiar slam and glam of psych-pop with the odd details that continually throw James Supercave into the uncanny valley of the pop genre: the lurching groove of the bass, the relentless loop of the synth, the shape-shifting timbre of the vocal. "You're so much better strange. You're so much better when you make mistakes with me," urges Supercave in a fit against normalcy. "Better Strange" dare the listener to commit to the mistakes they've always wanted to make. You can hear the song here! iTunes Smart Linkhttp://smarturl.it/jscs1 Amazon Music Smart Link:http://smarturl.it/jscams1 Google Play Smart Link:http://smarturl.it/jscgps1 Wide Streaming Partners Link:http://smarturl.it/jscsts1 Catch the band live at The Echo in Los Angeles on November 11th!
