Krano – Requiescat In Plavem

8 March 2016 ,

Krano Requiescat In Plavem

Very happy to finally announce a project we’ve been working on for over a year, Krano‘s debut album Requiescat In Plavem. Listen to album opener “Mi E Ti” and read all about this incredible record over at Brooklyn Vegan. Be prepared to immerse yourself in the Piave river on a psychedelic damaged folk country journey. Wait and see the packaging on this beauty (LP & CD).

PRE- ORDER & INFOS

A Note From Maple Death

When I received this record I had no idea what I was getting myself into. It came with no notes, just a letter in broken English. For days I made up lyrics to it trying to crack and uncover the language, dreaming of some Latin American retreat. Little did I know I was actually taking a stroll up the Piave river, plunging through pre-war cascades, seeing feverish trees set mountains in motion and a Veneto valley full of psychedelic beauty naked in front of my eyes. If only this river could talk I’m sure the stories from the 1918 battles would ring bloody loud and clear. 2012: Birds watched as Krano recorded R.I.P up in the hills behind Valdobbiadene, armed with a trusty 8-track tape machine. Then he disappeared into silence. As always it took a faithful caring friend to deliver the goods. Four years later here we are, music on wax, a man that deserves to be heard and a river that is still flowing.

JACK NAME delivers LUNE SPETTRALI

19 November 2015 ,

The mystery man aka Jack Name joins the family. Very proud to release a super limited C60 with the modern masterpiece Weird Moons on SIDE A and Live in Bologna Galleria Portanova12 on SIDE B. Head over to DECODER to preview the unreleased “Theme For A Stupid Guy” recorded live in Bologna on a hot summer night last June. DECODER says it best “this song shows the duo’s true sleight of hand, endlessly looping sounds that return the dance flavor of Weird Moons into beats and riffs that will stop the listener cold. The artist is still ahead of everyone, giving us no reason to return to the garage from this pure terror of glam.”

Disappears – Low: Live In Chicago ready for pre-order

23 September 2015 ,

disappears_live_in_chicago_cassette_cover_web_high

Beyond happy to be teaming up with Sonic Cathedral in releasing a live album by one of our favourite bands, Disappears, on November 20th. This is not just a live album, it’s a recording of them performing David Bowie’s classic 1977 album ‘Low’ in its entirety at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Chicago, mastered by legend Sonic Boom.

The band ran through the album twice on November 22nd 2014 as part of a concert series entitled Bowie Changes, which featured several Chicago-based musicians reinterpreting the Bowie catalogue to mark the opening of the ‘David Bowie Is’ exhibition at the city’s Museum of Contemporary Art. “Naturally we chose the hardest one,” jokes guitarist/singer Brian Case. They succeed by being faithful to the original, while turning it into something that sounds very much like a Disappears record.

We will be putting out a limited edition black cassette tape with black and white inlay printed on 160 g paper with a translucent 90 g orange print cover and download code. Not bad, eh?

More infos and PRE-ORDER right here: www.mapledeathrecords.com/mdr005/

Head over to Sonic Cathedral for the beautiful LP version.

Havah – Meno Di Metà

3 February 2015 ,

You can now listen to Havah‘s Meno Di Metà via Brooklyn Vegan. “His commanding baritone drives Havah’s snarling postpunk which packs a lot of hooks into the songs’ short running time“. This is one of the 5 gems for their side of the split LP with His Electro Blue Voice. Pre-Order.
