A trio of new music news…

Cincinnati lush-pop/folk duo Ellery is hitting the studio soon with Malcolm Burn (http://www.malcolmburn.com). Malcolm is a Grammy-winning producer who has worked with the likes of Emmylou Harris, Bob Dylan, Kaki King, Rachel Yamagata, Sarah McLachlan, Gillian Welch, Ryan Adams, and more.  This will be their follow-up to the fantastic debut, Lying Awake from 2007.  They’ve got a special “help them make a record” thing going on at ellerystimulus.com.  I’ve plunked down my cash… wish I got to see them as often as when I lived in Cincinnati, but regardless I’m glad they’re hitting the studio again.

Milwaukee/Boston singer-songwriter Peter Mulvey is putting the finishing touches on his next album, Letters from a Flying Machine.  Of the glut of singer-songwriters, Peter has a place in my heart (and ears).  He’s entertaining, intriguing, great storyteller, and a great sense of humor. If you’ve never heard of him… do yourself a favor, and hear of him… http://myspace.com/petermulvey

The third installment of My Brightest Diamond‘s A Thousand Shark Remixes is hitting iTunes on Tuesday, March 31st.  It’s remixed by Roberto C. Lange.  Remix EP #1 (by Alfred Brown) and #2 (by Son Lux) were pretty tasty.  EP #4 (by DM Stith) should be out in a few months, and all four will be made available on a physical CD with likely some tasty packaging.  Maybe vinyl, too… but that’s just me throwing a marble in the rumor mill.
