We are now accepting preorders for the brilliant new ‘Correspondence Course’ EP (matinée 071) from Glasgow, Scotland’s The Hermit Crabs! Their third release for Matinée following the well received ‘Feel Good Factor’ EP (matinée 063) in 2006 and last year’s ‘Saw You Dancing’ album (matcd046), the EP features four fantastic new songs: 1. About You Before; 2. Correspondence Course; 3. Turn The Clock Back; 4. I Don’t Know How. They’re all winners so we had a tough time deciding which to use as a preview track. ‘I Don’t Know How’ is the current pick on the Matinée sounds page, while we have ‘About You Before’ playing on the Matinée MySpace. Meanwhile the band has ‘Correspondence Course’ featured on their website and MySpace. The EP is scheduled for release on December 2nd, but we are taking advance orders RIGHT NOW exclusively on the Matinée website and will have copies ready to ship by the 20th of this month which is just a few days away!
In other new release news, the third album ‘Speak Up’ (matcd051) from The Guild League is available now exclusively from the Matinée website and will be in shops from December 2nd as well. The album features 10 new Guild League classics including: 1. Mouse vs. Mountain; 2. If Not Now…; 3. Dead Hour; 4. Suit Fits; 5. The Idea; 6. Where’s The Colour?; 7. Brains; 8. Limited Express; 9. 17 Summer; 10. Incandescent. We are showcasing four album tracks on the Matinée catalog page and rotating songs on the sounds page and on MySpace.
