Lazy Acre Records celebrates Record Store Day

Ever a fan of jumping on the nearest bandwagon Lazy Acre Records will celebrate this weekends Record Store Day by not stepping foot out of its front door. See as a label that doesn't produce vinyl and has no artists within 500 miles of our nearest record store it made arranging some kind of happening rather difficult.

Instead Lazy Acre will celebrate by running a series of events and sessions in its own webstore throughout the day. Beginning at Midday on Saturday, Lazy Acre artists will be broadcasting live sessions and shows from across the globe. Kicking off with new signing Stylusboy (who will be broadcasting from the UK), the day will also take in acoustic sets from Uno Moller (live from Oslo) and Sajama Cut (live from Jakarta) before finishing off with a headline set from MyLittlePony who will be broadcasting from Vienna.

Its a truly international happening and one that will be accompanied by a series of limited time releases (including a new MyLittlePony single, a special edition Stylusboy single with "When I Argue I See Shapes" on the B-side, a UK release for "Paintings / Pantings" from Sajama Cut and a new Uno Moller release that is so secret we won't be announcing details until the day.)

These download singles will all be priced at £2 each (or £6 for them all) and will include videos, a copy of the latest Lazy Acre fanzine and some PC wallpaper. They will be available for 2 weeks from the day of release.

Throughout the course of the day there will also be competitions, video premier's, exclusive interviews and content and 25% off everything in the webstore.

You can keep up to date with details (of which there will be plenty more to come!) and check out interviews and videos in the run up to the big day, on our special Record Store Day Minisite over at www.lazyacrerecordstoreday.blogspot.com or by following us on twitter (@lazyacrerecords)

Bellman - The Curse

So there will be more details on this release to follow but we wanted to let you know that we will be releasing the new album from BELLMAN shortly here in the UK.

We first saw Bellman live a few years back and were over the moon when they asked us if we would like to work with them to release their new album here in the UK.

There are loads more details to share with you (including some debut UK shows in the next couple of days as well) but for now we really wanted to share a track with you and so this is the lead track (and indeed title track) from the album for you to wrap your ears around.

Epic stuff.

I See Horses - Drop Out (Live acoustic version)

So heres a cool live acoustic version of the new I SEE HORSES single "Drop Out". This was recorded for the Involvee Yourself Youtube festival that happened in Oslo at the back end of last year. You can stream and download the single if you like it over on the releases page.

New Releases: #1 PARTS

So then over the next couple of days we are going to be announcing a whole heap of new releases. The first of these is the next band into the Full Stop to Bad Pop campaign - PARTS.

PARTS are an awesomely noisy two piece currently residing in Barcelona. They were so loud they got arrested at their firt ever gig and they sound like a super thrashy Nirvana covering Death From Above whilst driving a truck through a window. How fans of Solvor Vermeer will take to it Im not sure but we love it.

The bands 6 track EP wil be coming your way at the end of March but for now you can check out the first track from the EP here:
