For Immediate release 7.27.09:
Blood on the Vinyl is a group of artists who have spent years releasing records on countless labels. Its not important who we are for we do not want you to buy our records because “so and so” runs this label. It is important to check out the artists we support because we feel they make some of the best music in the world.
In doing so we to help breathe life back into the much beloved format, the phonograph record. We are not the first to offer only vinyl exclusive content and hopefully not the last. Our projects are chosen out of love and we will put our blood into every record we release!
No need to worry, for we are not a bunch of old fashion weirdos here at Blood on the Vinyl. We also appreciate the portability new technology provides. Thus, every customer receives a free digital copy of the record they purchase.
With that said, let’s talk about the music! We are excited to announce our first release: “Keep at Hand” by Minorcan of Austin, TX.
Minorcan is an island in the Mediterranean. The Minorcans were brought to St. Augustine, Florida by the British before the American Revolutionary War and they worked as indentured servants. Ryan Anderson was born in Northeast Florida and previously released music under his own name. He was in Iowa last year and recorded “Keep at Hand” with The Poison Control Center. When he returned to his current home in Texas he formed a band and adopted the name, Minorcan.
Ryan had this to say about "Keep at Hand" -
"It's about love, which is rough on the edges. Side A is the beginning when we meet the person who makes us feel we can take on Ghengis Khan's army with just two fists. Soon, our ambitions vanish and we’re happy to be with our lover when the car breaks down, because there’s no where to go. Yes, the world may also be a cruel and horrible place, but none of that matters when we have a hand to hold. Side B is the struggle of staying together through the shit and the pain. Walker Percy said it best, 'We love those who know the worst of us and don't turn their faces away.' There will be disagreements. The most epic feuds have always come to an end. Sometimes enemies stop fighting long enough to create something beautiful. Keep at Hand sounds like a bunch of people in a basement recording on 1/2 inch tape playing guitars, upright bass, trumpets, organs, pianos, harmonicas, melodicas, percussion and more. The performances are immediate and unplanned to capture the raw emotion of the material. Out of tune? Tape Hiss? Not enough microphones? We didn’t give a fuck. We hit the record button and played our hearts out."
"Keep at Hand" by Minorcan is available for pre-order at http://www.bloodonthevinyl.com and limited to 500 pressings. It will be released on September 28th.
We are very excited to share the album's first single with you "Our Time." files.me.com/botv/86zu95.mp3
