Key Points:
Hailing from South London, Florence Welch writes songs blending pop, soul, and Baroque arrangements into a sound that
earned considerable buzz. Florence + the Machine released their debut single, "Kiss with a Fist," on the Moshi Moshi label in
June 2008. The critically acclaimed debut album Lungs followed in July 2009 and quickly became one of the year's most
popular releases in the U.K., where Florence charted four Top 40 singles in less than 12 months. The songs gathered steam in
other parts of the world, too, particularly in America, where "Dog Days Are Over" peaked at number 21, went platinum, and
even earned its own performance on the TV show Glee. Lungs was reissued the following year in a two‐disc package entitled
Between Two Lungs, and included a bonus 12‐track disc that featured live versions and remixes.
Also in 2010, Florence + the Machine returned to the studio with producer Paul Epworth (Bloc Party, Adele) to begin work on
their second full‐length outing. The resulting Ceremonials, which successfully expanded on the group's already huge sound,
arrived on Halloween in 2011. The following year saw the release of CD and DVD versions of MTV Unplugged, an 11‐track set
filmed before a small studio audience that featured fan favorites along with a pair of covers, including "Try a Little
Tenderness" and the Johnny Cash/June Carter classic "Jackson," the latter of which featured guest vocals by Queens of the
Stone Age frontman Josh Homme. That same year, Welch announced an upcoming period of inactivity. Her third studio long‐
player, the Markus Dravs‐produced How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful, was announced in late 2014 and arrived in May 2015.
It was the band's third consecutive number one U.K. album, and their first to top the U.S. chart. ~ James Christopher Monger

Key Points:
There comes a point in every career of note, when it’s time to dig a trench in the turf; to define exactly who you are in a way that resonates in the broadest
possible manner. For Bullet For My Valentine – now two decades deep into their story, one of rock and metal’s foremost names, a genuine success – that time is
now.
Produced and mixed by Carl Bown, ‘Gravity’ (the UK band’s sixth studio album, the follow‐up to 2015’s ‘Venom’) sees the musicians delivering a body of work
that looks set to add extra layers of excitement and meaning both to their own trajectory and to the genre per se. At a time when the international scene feels
ready for a serious shot in the arm, ‘Gravity’ is an album of true craft and vision – an ambitious labour of love with the weight and the punch that the band’s
extensive, ever‐burgeoning fan‐base has come to expect, a point made in style by lead single / video ‘Over It’, whilst adding enough in terms of atmosphere,
melody and contemporary sheen to spin heads in wider circles.
Backed up by an extensive worldwide touring plan that sees BFMV’s strongest ever line‐up playing major shows and festivals for the whole of 2018 (and beyond),
‘Gravity’ already feels like an important album. Simply, this is frontman Matt Tuck and his fellow players thinking big and bold and refusing to compromise or
back down.
The title is ‘Gravity’, but the music is set to rise like a rocket. Let the countdown commence…

Key Points:
Born Shaffer Smith in Camden, Arkansas and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada, Ne‐Yo broke into the music industry as a songwriter, though he had a false
start with a short‐lived group called Envy. Prior to exiting his teenage years, he penned material for Youngstown Shortly thereafter, he co‐wrote "That
Girl" for Marques Houston and "I'm Sorry" for Christina Milian. the former composition had been intended for Smith's own debut album, which was
recorded for Columbia but never released In late 2004, he became known throughout the industry as the co‐writer of Mario's "Let Me Love You; one of
the most‐played songs on urban radio stations across the U.S. Ne‐Yo subsequently signed a solo deal with Def Jam In My Own Words came out in
February 2006 and reached the top of the Billboard 200 and R&B/Hip‐Hop album charts, supported by the number one hit "So Sick" ‐‐ one of his many
collaborations with Norwegian production duo Stargate During the same year, he appeared on Remy Ma's There's Something About Remy and
Ghostface Killah∙s Fishscale, and he had a hand in writing a pair of Top Ten hits: Beyonce∙s "Irreplaceable" and Rihanna's "Unfaithful." Because of You,
his second album, followed in May 2007. It went to number one on the Billboard 200 and Billboard's R&B/Hip‐Hop Albums charts as well, with its upbeat
title track topping out at number two on the Hot 100.
After another series of songwriting triumphs, including Rihanna's "Take a Bow" and Jennifer Hudson's
"Spotlight," Ne‐Yo released his third album, Year of the Gentleman, in September 2008. Propelled by the hits "Closer; the Grammy‐winning "Miss
Independent," and "Mad," the set eventually went platinum, which made Ne‐Yo three for three in that regard Ne‐Yo then went relatively quiet for a
brief period but returned in 2010 with Libra Scale, an album inspired by science fiction and comic books, as well as Stevie Wonder's and Michael
Jackson's most ambitious recordings. It debuted in the Top 10 but didn't even come close to attaining gold status. He maintained his mainstream
presence as a featured artist on Pitbull's "Give Me Everything" and Young Jeezy's "Leave You Alone;∙ among a handful of minor hits.
In November 2012, after he signed to Motown and was named the label's Senior Vice President of A&R, he released R.E.D. ("Realizing Every Dream").
The album found him continuing to embrace dance‐pop while maintaining his connection to R&B. While it debuted at number four on the Billboard 200,
it was his slowest selling album to that point. The singer spent much of 2013 collaborating with other artists, including Akan, David Guetta, Cher Lloyd,
and Celine Dion The build‐up to Non‐Fiction, Ne‐Yo's sixth studio album, started during the first half of 2014 with the release of "Money Can't Buy; a
single featuring Jeezy that charted outside the Top 40 of the R&B/Hip‐Hop chart. Additional collaborative singles with Juicy J ("She Knows") and Pitbull
("Time of Our Lives") fared better commercially. The parent album arrived in January 2015. Collaborations with Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike ("Higher
Place"), Yunel and J Alvarez ("Sin Miedo"), and Diamond Platnumz ("Marry You") followed before the 2017 release of his seventh effort, Good Man.

Scream for Me Sarajevo is the story of the most unlikely of rock concerts, performed by Bruce Dickinson in 1994, in the midst
of the Siege of Sarajevo. This is a film about extraordinary people defying the horrors of war, and the musicians who risked
their lives to play a show for them. This documentary features footage from the historic gig, recent interviews with Bruce,
the band, crew, security and also the people of Sarajevo that lived through the war.
"We weren’t protected, there was no plan and the bullets were real, but fuck it, we went anyway” said Bruce in his recent
best‐selling autobiography What Does This Button Do?, “The gig was immense, intense and probably the biggest show in the
world at that moment for the audience and for us. That the world didn’t really know didn’t matter. It changed the way I
viewed life, death and other human beings”.

With arena-sized glam and rock opera-wattage sparkle, Ensign Broderick’s dramatic, piano-driven sound gushes
with the opulence and flamboyance of late 70s New Romanticism, Baroque melodrama and timeless teenage angst.
A mysterious and reclusive figure, Ensign Broderick has emerged out of nowhere with a fully-formed artistic vision
that is completely out of time and wholly compelling, a lavish mixture of personal secrecy and raw, naked emotion
bared in song.

Key Tracks: Tough Folks, The World Is On Fire, Crooked+Straight
In the lush tobacco fields of North Carolina where BJ Barham was raised, people work hard. Families stay nearby, toiling and
growing together. BJ loves those farms and his tiny Reidsville hometown, but he had to run off and start American Aquarium,
a band now beloved by thousands. He couldn’t stay, but he couldn’t really leave, either: he’s still singing about the lessons,
stories, and lives that define rural America––and him.
Recorded at 3CG Records in Tulsa, OK, American Aquarium’s seventh studio album, Things Change was produced by
Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter John Fullbright and features cameos from Americana standouts including John
Moreland and Jamie Lin Wilson. Stacked with BJ’s signature storytelling––always deeply personal but also instantly
relatable, Things Change questions and curses current events, shares one man’s intimate evolution, and leaves listeners
with a priceless gift: hope.
BJ’s candour has fuelled American Aquarium’s runaway appeal, visible most clearly in consistently sold-out shows across
the country and throughout Europe - between 200 and 250 dates a year. Much has changed for the band and BJ since their
acclaimed last effort, Wolves. In 2017, every American Aquarium member save BJ quit the group. American Aquarium has
featured about 30 players since BJ founded the outfit in 2006, and while each member has left indelible marks, the band has
always been anchored by the literary songs and sometimes roaring, sometimes whispering, drawl of BJ Barham. Featuring a
new band lineup that includes Shane Boeker on lead guitar, drummer Joey Bybee, bassist Ben Hussey, and Adam Kurtz on
pedal steel and electric guitar, as well as a reinvigorated frontman in BJ, Things Change is American Aquarium’s first
release on a label after selling thousands of records on their own.

Key Tracks: I Am the Moment, Are You Electrified?, Forever Falling
Sometimes the catalyst for creating great art is simply being in the right place at the right time. For Arthur Buck, the new
collaboration between singer-songwriter Joseph Arthur and guitarist Peter Buck, that place was Mexico, and that time was
the fall of 2017. Specifically, a little town off the Baja coast named Todos Santos, with the Sierra de la Laguna mountains to
the east and the bright blue Pacific stretching out infinitely to the west. It is here that Buck has held the Todos Santos Music
Festival for the last several years, which he created in 2012 with his wife, Chloe Johnson, shortly after R.E.M. called it a day.
Among the many artists who have played the festival is Joseph Arthur, who also happened to leave behind a guitar—a Dobro,
specifically—after his last appearance there. And so last year he made the trek down to Todos Santos to pick up the
instrument. Which is where he ran into Peter Buck.
That was the beginning of Arthur Buck. The creative result of this relationship is a vibrant 11-song collection that captures the
spontaneity at the heart of the project—right down to the 1-2-3-4 count off from Buck that opens the record—with sounds and
styles meshed together in an easy, almost playful manner. Tchad Blake was brought in to mix the proceedings, and the
product is the new Arthur Buck—the outcome of a shockingly productive burst of inspiration.

Label: Comino Music / Fontana North
Rep Owner: Fontana North
Expertly navigating that rarefied space between elegiac folk and accessible pop, Toronto‐based singer/songwriter and multi‐instrumentalist Ben Kunder
has emerged as one of the most electrifying musicians on the indie scene and a sought‐after live performer. His 2015 debut Golden garnered critical
acclaim and airplay from Canada to the UK to the Netherlands. Kunder’s dazzling sophomore album “Better Human”, is set for release on Friday, June
29, and is poised to dominate 2018. Real life anchors most of “Better Human”, the record exploring compelling themes like the birth of a child, the
struggle for life balance, the workday reality propping up our outward façade, largely illuminating the human struggle to navigate through the world
while sharing darkness in order to see the light. Produced alongside Aaron Goldstein at Baldwin Street Sound, guests include Oh Susanna, Jim Guthrie,
Paper Bird/Bahamas singer Carleigh Aikins, Sarah McDougall, Ladies of the Canyon’s Maia Davies and Anna Ruddick, Arkells drummer Tim Oxford and
keyboardist Anthony Carone, violinist Drew Jurecka, and Wintersleep drummer Loel Campbell, among others. Propelled variously by strings, pedal steel,
keyboards, percussion, guitar, bass, and those spectacular before‐mentioned voices — renders small moments in precise detail, making his songs both
accessible and, occasionally, downright palpable.

Late Bloomer's third full length, 'Waiting,' is an achingly human record that explores the crushing uncertainty of adulthood
through a mix of hook‐driven guitar rock and punk urgency. The band teamed with producer/engineer Justin Pizzoferreto
(Dinosaur Jr, Pixies, Speedy Ortiz, Parquet Courts). The result effortlessly blends each members’ seemingly disparate
influences from roaring to tender—often within the same track. The fuzzy familiarity of college rock effortlessly collides with
the intensity of punk and hardcore, all serving to propel the band’s biggest choruses to date.

‐ Previous album, 'Things Change,' received critical acclaim from the likes of Pitchfork, Noisey, BrooklynVegan, etc.

Key Points:
Hailing from South London, Florence Welch writes songs blending pop, soul, and Baroque arrangements into a sound that
earned considerable buzz. Florence + the Machine released their debut single, "Kiss with a Fist," on the Moshi Moshi label in
June 2008. The critically acclaimed debut album Lungs followed in July 2009 and quickly became one of the year's most
popular releases in the U.K., where Florence charted four Top 40 singles in less than 12 months. The songs gathered steam in
other parts of the world, too, particularly in America, where "Dog Days Are Over" peaked at number 21, went platinum, and
even earned its own performance on the TV show Glee. Lungs was reissued the following year in a two‐disc package entitled
Between Two Lungs, and included a bonus 12‐track disc that featured live versions and remixes.
Also in 2010, Florence + the Machine returned to the studio with producer Paul Epworth (Bloc Party, Adele) to begin work on
their second full‐length outing. The resulting Ceremonials, which successfully expanded on the group's already huge sound,
arrived on Halloween in 2011. The following year saw the release of CD and DVD versions of MTV Unplugged, an 11‐track set
filmed before a small studio audience that featured fan favorites along with a pair of covers, including "Try a Little
Tenderness" and the Johnny Cash/June Carter classic "Jackson," the latter of which featured guest vocals by Queens of the
Stone Age frontman Josh Homme. That same year, Welch announced an upcoming period of inactivity. Her third studio long‐
player, the Markus Dravs‐produced How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful, was announced in late 2014 and arrived in May 2015.
It was the band's third consecutive number one U.K. album, and their first to top the U.S. chart. ~ James Christopher Monger

There comes a point in every career of note, when it’s time to dig a trench in the turf; to define exactly who you
are in a way that resonates in the broadest possible manner. For Bullet For My Valentine – now two decades deep
into their story, one of rock and metal’s foremost names, a genuine success – that time is now.
Produced and mixed by Carl Bown, ‘Gravity’ (the UK band’s sixth studio album, the follow‐up to 2015’s ‘Venom’)
sees the musicians delivering a body of work that looks set to add extra layers of excitement and meaning both to
their own trajectory and to the genre per se. At a time when the international scene feels ready for a serious shot
in the arm, ‘Gravity’ is an album of true craft and vision – an ambitious labour of love with the weight and the
punch that the band’s extensive, ever‐burgeoning fan‐base has come to expect, a point made in style by lead
single / video ‘Over It’, whilst adding enough in terms of atmosphere, melody and contemporary sheen to spin
heads in wider circles.
Backed up by an extensive worldwide touring plan that sees BFMV’s strongest ever line‐up playing major shows
and festivals for the whole of 2018 (and beyond), ‘Gravity’ already feels like an important album. Simply, this is
frontman Matt Tuck and his fellow players thinking big and bold and refusing to compromise or back down.
The title is ‘Gravity’, but the music is set to rise like a rocket. Let the countdown commence…

produced by George Williams. Mike and Jules are joined by drummer Smiley (Joe Strummer & The Muscaleros) and guitarist
James Stevenson (Gen X, The Cult). Guitarist Billy Duffy (The Cult) is featured on the track, "Coming Backwards." LP is
standard weight, black vinyl.

Known as Tekashi 6ix9ine, simply 6ix9ine, and several alternate stylizations thereof, Daniel Hernandez is a rapper with a hyper-
aggressive, full-throated approach to delivering oft-violent rhymes. A native of Brooklyn's Bushwick neighborhood, the
Scumgang member developed a following on Soundcloud and made his commercial breakthrough in 2017, after he landed a
recording deal through Elliott Grange that facilitated distribution via Universal. "GUMMO," his first widely distributed single,
entered the Billboard Hot 100 and eventually peaked at number 12. Follow-up "KOODA" arrived at the end of the year, at which
point Hernandez had also recorded with the likes of Yung Beef, Trippie Redd, and Mo Dollaz. The commercial mixtape DAY69
arrived in early 2018 and debuted on the Billboard 200 at number four. ~ Andy Kellman

Artist/Title: American Aquarium / Things Change (LP) – one way sale LP Bar Code:
Cat. #: NW5243 Price Code: Q
Order Due: May 3, 2018 Release Date: June 1, 2018
In the lush tobacco fields of North Carolina where BJ Barham was raised, people work hard. Families stay nearby, toiling and growing
together. BJ loves those farms and his tiny Reidsville hometown, but he had to run off and start American Aquarium, a band now beloved
by thousands. He couldn’t stay, but he couldn’t really leave, either: he’s still singing about the lessons, stories, and lives that define rural
America––and him.
Recorded at 3CG Records in Tulsa, OK, American Aquarium’s seventh studio album, Things Change was produced by Grammy-
nominated singer-songwriter John Fullbright and features cameos from Americana standouts including John Moreland and Jamie Lin
Wilson. Stacked with BJ’s signature storytelling––always deeply personal but also instantly relatable, Things Change questions and curses
current events, shares one man’s intimate evolution, and leaves listeners with a priceless gift: hope.
BJ’s candour has fuelled American Aquarium’s runaway appeal, visible most clearly in consistently sold-out shows across the country and
throughout Europe - between 200 and 250 dates a year. Much has changed for the band and BJ since their acclaimed last effort, Wolves.
In 2017, every American Aquarium member save BJ quit the group. American Aquarium has featured about 30 players since BJ founded
the outfit in 2006, and while each member has left indelible marks, the band has always been anchored by the literary songs and sometimes
roaring, sometimes whispering, drawl of BJ Barham. Featuring a new band lineup that includes Shane Boeker on lead guitar, drummer Joey
Bybee, bassist Ben Hussey, and Adam Kurtz on pedal steel and electric guitar, as well as a reinvigorated frontman in BJ, Things Change is
American Aquarium’s first release on a label after selling thousands of records on their own.

Cat. #: NW5244LP Price Code: Q
Order Due: May 17, 2018 Release Date: June 15, 2018
Sometimes the catalyst for creating great art is simply being in the right place at the right time. For Arthur Buck, the new
collaboration between singer-songwriter Joseph Arthur and guitarist Peter Buck, that place was Mexico, and that time was
the fall of 2017. Specifically, a little town off the Baja coast named Todos Santos, with the Sierra de la Laguna mountains to
the east and the bright blue Pacific stretching out infinitely to the west. It is here that Buck has held the Todos Santos Music
Festival for the last several years, which he created in 2012 with his wife, Chloe Johnson, shortly after R.E.M. called it a day.
Among the many artists who have played the festival is Joseph Arthur, who also happened to leave behind a guitar—a Dobro,
specifically—after his last appearance there. And so last year he made the trek down to Todos Santos to pick up the
instrument. Which is where he ran into Peter Buck.
That was the beginning of Arthur Buck. The creative result of this relationship is a vibrant 11-song collection that captures the
spontaneity at the heart of the project—right down to the 1-2-3-4 count off from Buck that opens the record—with sounds and
styles meshed together in an easy, almost playful manner. Tchad Blake was brought in to mix the proceedings, and the
product is the new Arthur Buck—the outcome of a shockingly productive burst of inspiration.

Since releasing their debut album, Hover, in 2015, San Francisco’s FINE POINTS have continued to lay the brickwork of their
narco-pop stylings. After securing choice support slots for hazy contemporaries such as White Fence, The Warlocks, and The
Fresh & Onlys, the band would tour the West Coast, returning home to break ground on their next album. With Grammy-
winning producer Jason Carmer (Third Eye Blind, Billy Idol, Merle Haggard) at the helm, the band first recorded “The Fang”, a
hauntingly optimistic track that showcases their newest member, Owen Kelley, on piano. The result, Take Shape, has the
flint-and-steel glow laid bare by Creation Records alumnus, the vocal pomp of Lee Hazlewood and Brian Wilson, and the
reverb-laden walls of sound enshrined by Phil Spector. It’s an album that bears witness to countless pitfalls, changes, and
hardships, but eventually finishes where FINE POINTS started: a couple of guys with guitars, talented friends, and the
unerring march forwards.
Marketing Highlights
- Available on blue vinyl limited to 300 worldwide
- Packaged in gatefold sleeve with full colour insert
- New album from San Francisco alt rock band FINE POINTS, featuring members of Sleepy Sun and Lumerians

*VINYL IS ONE WAY SALE*
Expertly navigating that rarefied space between elegiac folk and accessible pop, Toronto‐based singer/songwriter and multi‐instrumentalist Ben Kunder
has emerged as one of the most electrifying musicians on the indie scene and a sought‐after live performer. His 2015 debut Golden garnered critical
acclaim and airplay from Canada to the UK to the Netherlands. Kunder’s dazzling sophomore album “Better Human”, is set for release on Friday, June
29, and is poised to dominate 2018. Real life anchors most of “Better Human”, the record exploring compelling themes like the birth of a child, the
struggle for life balance, the workday reality propping up our outward façade, largely illuminating the human struggle to navigate through the world
while sharing darkness in order to see the light. Produced alongside Aaron Goldstein at Baldwin Street Sound, guests include Oh Susanna, Jim Guthrie,
Paper Bird/Bahamas singer Carleigh Aikins, Sarah McDougall, Ladies of the Canyon’s Maia Davies and Anna Ruddick, Arkells drummer Tim Oxford and
keyboardist Anthony Carone, violinist Drew Jurecka, and Wintersleep drummer Loel Campbell, among others. Propelled variously by strings, pedal steel,
keyboards, percussion, guitar, bass, and those spectacular before‐mentioned voices — renders small moments in precise detail, making his songs both
accessible and, occasionally, downright palpable.

*VINYL IS ONE WAY SALE*
Late Bloomer's third full length, 'Waiting,' is an achingly human record that explores the crushing uncertainty of adulthood
through a mix of hook‐driven guitar rock and punk urgency. The band teamed with producer/engineer Justin Pizzoferreto
(Dinosaur Jr, Pixies, Speedy Ortiz, Parquet Courts). The result effortlessly blends each members’ seemingly disparate
influences from roaring to tender—often within the same track. The fuzzy familiarity of college rock effortlessly collides with
the intensity of punk and hardcore, all serving to propel the band’s biggest choruses to date.
‐ Produced and recorded by Justin Pizzoferreto (Dinosaur Jr, Pixies, Speedy Ortiz, Parquet Courts)
‐ Previous album, 'Things Change,' received critical acclaim from the likes of Pitchfork, Noisey, BrooklynVegan, etc.
‐ Publicity campaign handled by Brixton Agency (Modern Baseball, Bouncing Souls, Circa Survive)
‐ Stereogum premiered the first single, “Heaven”

Wolastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa is the debut album by Canadian composer and tenor, Jeremy Dutcher – which involves post‐
classical rearrangement of his Wolastoq First Nation traditional music. Granted access to the Canadian Museum of History,
Jeremy discovered wax cylinders from 1907 of his ancestors singing forgotten songs and stories that had been taken from
the Wolastoqiyik Nation generations ago. The album is Jeremy’s contribution to his heritage and community in attempts to
revitalize the Wolastoq language to the world, which has less than 100 speakers alive today. This collection of ground
breaking post‐classical arrangements is truly one of a kind and recalls the mood of Rufus Wainwright's operatic performance
or the haunting pop of Anthony & The Johnsons.
