...WE ARE THE ARM...

• Firstly, we're beyond excited to announce that We Are The Arm has recently entered the studio this Summer to record their first full-length LP.  Think George Benson, early 90's R&B and nightboating in Miami.  It's so, so sexxxy.  Expect mp3's shortly...
• "Soft Bongos," the new vinyl EP is now available for order in our online store.  Available on iTunes as well!
• And finally, augment your collection of We Are The Arm paraphernalia with this downloadable live in-studio performance at the legendary and much revered WFMU!

..BUTANE VARIATIONS...

• New line-up!  A handful of Fall dates! More on the way!
• Daytrotter has posted the exclusive session Butane Variations cut while out on their Winter Midwestern jaunt -- 3 unreleased tracks and 1 of relative familiarity -- check the session here now!
• Catch the most comprehensive interview with the band to date on the music website Stereo Subversion! Spread it to your friends like wild fire!

...And finally, we here at Achord are pleased to announce that:

• The last few copies of Best of Seth's 3-CD monolith "Sparrrow Trout Heart Sprout" can now be purchased in our online store.  You may still be able to obtain them at Akron/Family shows or from real-life record stores courtesy of Revolver Distribution.
• For those that don't know: Best of Seth is actually Seth Olinsky of Akron/Family.
• And for those that don't know: Akron/Family is on Young God Records and is quite honestly (with zero exaggeration) one of the best bands making music today...for a reference point on that, go buy their new masterwork "Love Is Simple" -- it's better than we (or you) could have expected...
• Seth Olinsky would like those that don't know, to know about White Nebula Falls in Williamsport,Pennsylvania.

More, more, more,
