Penguin Prison Signs to Downtown! Tour Dates!

We have always had a place in our hearts for Penguin Prison, yet another fantastic product coming through the Neon Gold machine. It makes us happy to know, after a few fits and starts, that the band has found a home on Downtown Records. They will be taken care of there, joining a laundry list of the indie-music elite; their highly anticipated self-titled debut record is due out this Fall. PP has not been lacking in the buzz department managing to stay on the scene without a full-length record simply by playing great live shows and releasing a myriad of singles. Grab your copy of the Shook Remixed 'Multi-Millionare' above and check out these great upcoming shows below. We'll see you out there! Go get em boys.

Miike Snow: Burial

While cruising the Green Owl website looking for some info for our Very Best review, we stumbled upon this gem of a video from the elusive part-Swede, part-American trio Miike Snow who's self-titled album is out now on Downtown Records. While the full record is still in the "to check out" pile, this moody electro-jam makes me pretty sure I'll be listening sometime this evening. The video is a fantastic trip, using the music more as a backdrop than as the center piece. Well done. Directed by: Daniel Wirtberg & Jonas Rudström Production company
