congratulations high places!
We are pleased to announce a big day in the short history of eMusic Selects: High Places have signed with the venerable Thrill Jockey! We couldn’t be happier for them, and we eagerly await their first proper album coming in September. Soon, Thrill Jockey will reissue the 03/07 – 09/07 compilation (still) exclusively available on eMusic, and we’re pretty much convinced that Rob and Mary will be bona fide superstars soon thereafter. Seriously, they are the best people ever, and we are so so so happy that they have landed with such a great label. And give yourselves a round of applause, too: if all of you hadn’t so enthusiastically downloaded them, who knows what might have happened? Now, who is going to sign Breathe Owl Breathe, Hands on Heads, Susu and Crystal Stilts? We expect a couple of those to be snagged soon for sure. Fingers crossed!
CONGRATULATIONS!
Great news for High Places, sat and watched thier live videos on PitchforkTV, wonderful stuff. Rotten news for their UK fans though, as we won’t be able to download any of their new music as we don’t have access to the Thrill Jockey catalogue on the UK emusic service. It’s annoying when labels do licensing deals in Europe that excludes emusic downloads, or use digital distributors that are happy to support that likes of iTunes (who even the major labels distrust), but not the indie friendly eMusic.
