Albert Hammond Jr. (credit: Chelsea Leogrande)                                          Joe Jonas (credit: Lili Peper) Los Angeles, CA - November 19, 2015 - Select Hospitality and Design (SH&D) - the hospitality company founded by Matthew Hechter and Christopher Brandon - has enlisted Albert Hammond Jr. (guitarist from The Strokes and acclaimed solo artist) and superstar/SH&D partnerJoe Jonas (DNCE, Jonas Brothers)to serve as official music curators for the group's portfolio of properties, which includes The Heyward in Brooklyn, NY and Hinterland, which recently opened in Santa Monica, CA. They will be responsible for all sound design at these locations, including building custom playlists and curating live music experiences, as well as at future SH&D projects. The two musicians have created sampler playlists, which premiered today on Spotify, to highlight some of their first musical selections for SH&D's locations. See below for a list of featured tracks and listening links. "Music has always been foundational to Select," noted Matthew Hechter. "When we started, Chris and I personally handpicked the music for all of the restaurants because we wanted it to be a core part of the experience. And, all of our projects in development have some sort of major music element attached to them." "When Matt approached me about curating vibes at his upcoming and existing restaurants, I couldn't help but see it as an awesome opportunity to share music that excites me with a clientele that has a similar passion for new discoveries. We're starting small, but it has the potential to grow into something very unique and multi-faceted. Matt, Chris and the rest of the SH&D team have a wonderful vision," said Albert Hammond Jr. "I'm honored to join the brilliant team at Select. They're great friends and we share the same vision of creating a welcome, laid-back atmosphere for our guests," commented Joe Jonas. Hammond Jr. and Jonas will be involved with the design, build and programming of a recording studio that will be part of the group's new boutique hotel concept in Upstate New York. In addition, they will program a slate of acts for the live music venue adjacent to PBLC TRDE, SH&D's Japanese-inspired pizza restaurant in Costa Mesa, CA, which is slated to open before the end of 2015. The pair will also see that music is infused into the culinary experiences that Select will be designing for several major music festivals.

Going separate ways after high school, the two crossed paths again and joined forces to open successful New York restaurant, Hudson Clearwater with two other partners. Soon after, the duo brought on Marcus Childress and formed Select Hospitality and Design, to continue pursuing new hospitality projects. With extensive design and restaurant experience, Hechter and Brandon serve as managing partners, while Childress utilizes his experience in financial management in his role as CFO.  Together, the team opened The Heyward at a Brooklyn site that was formerly home to the iconic music venue Zebulon. In 2015, they opened the popular coastal New American restaurant, Hinterland, located on Main Street in Santa Monica. With several new ventures in the pipeline, Select Hospitality is making a name for itself across the nation.

This Heat | Full Discography Reissue

This Heat, circa 1981. Photograph by Lesley Evans. Courtesy of This Heat.

Isn’t it so often the case that the most innovative works of art – the ones that break the ground where others follow – are the ones that seem to reach only the ears of those who take those ideas and run with them? So it is with This Heat, who from the forefront of experimental music, sowed the seeds of post-punk, avant rock, noise rock and post-rock. We are very proud to announce that our latest archival series is of this experimental, Brixton trio's 1979-1981 discography. In honor of their 40th anniversary we're reissuing their self-titled debut album, their EP Health & Efficiency, and their masterpiece Deceit. In these albums, This Heat concocted some of the most experimental ideas ever committed to tape, taking influence from musique concrète, krautrock, the burgeoning industrial scene and even the dub reggae blasting out in their home borough. Given the difficult, abrasive, and involved nature of their sound, This Heat never found anything approaching mainstream success, but their influence is immeasurable and those who love them love them fiercely. This first ever official vinyl reissue was produced with the full co-operation of band members Charles Bullen and Charles Hayward. Four decades on, This Heat is still a revelation.

“The Beatles of modern experimental music.” - Damon McMahon (Amen Dunes) “This Heat made a beautiful/ferocious noise like no other band before or since – and their records still sound entirely modern today.” - Alexis Taylor (Hot Chip) “This Heat sounded like the future then… and still do now."  - Dan Snaith (Caribou)

All three albums are available for preorder now, and will be available for immediate purchase January 22nd. A bundle of all 3 This Heat color editions is available for a discounted price. Pre-order color editions (300 copies each): This Heat: “Blue/Yellow” split color wax Deceit: “Red/Black Nuclear Swirl” color wax Pre-order bundle edition, Health & Efficiency: custom “H&E Blue” color wax. Only available as a bundle with all three This Heat titles

IRMIN SCHMIDT

LISTEN TO IRMIN SCHMIDT AND KUMO’S “BEAUTY DUTY”  ELECTRO VIOLET 12 CD BOX SET DIGITAL OUT DEC 4, 2015 CD OUT JAN 8, 2016 DEFINITIVE COLLECTION OF SOLO WORKS FROM AVANT- GARDE COMPOSER IRMIN SCHMIDT

Photo credit: Steve Gullick "As a collection, it's both far-reaching in style and consistent in its sense of intellectual consistency" – UNCUT “...modern orchestral sound paintings” – MOJO “...he has both subverted the high with the low and the low with the high” - THE WIRE

Listen to Irmin Schmidt and Kumo’s ‘Beauty Duty,’ taken from Electro Violet, the definitive 12CD box set - https://youtu.be/xs3zPM_6cso “Beauty Duty” is taken from Master Of Confusion, Irmin Schmidt and Kumo (aka electronic composer and programming specialist Jono Podmore)’s 2001 debut album, which is included in Electro Violet, the career spanning retrospective from legendary avant-garde composer Irmin Schmidt. This 12 CD deluxe box set, limited to 1000 copies worldwide, each signed by Schmidt, takes you on a journey through his entire solo work from 1981 to the present day and is out on Mute / Spoon Records on January 8, 2016, with the digital version out December 4, 2015. Irmin Schmidt is a founding member of Can, the German band whose unparalleled genius remains unquestioned, timeless and immeasurably influential. When all Can members decided to part and explore new sounds, Irmin teamed up with Swiss jazz and electronics musician Bruno Spoerri to make his first post-Can album, Toy Planet. The collection travels through his Gormenghast opera, solo albums, collaborations with Kumo (Jono Podmore) and Duncan Fallowell, plus his extensive and award winning film soundtrack work. After a classical education as pianist, conductor and composer, Irmin Schmidt - who studied under Stockhausen and Ligeti - established Can in the late 60s combining classic new music with rock and jazz. The band’s powerful influence has never diminished and recently Irmin Schmidt was awarded a Knighthood - the Chevalier De L'Ordre Des Arts Et Des Lettres - for his contribution to arts and culture by the French Ministry of Culture. The Film Musik CDs include a previously unreleased album, Film Musik Anthology Vol. 6 in addition to music from across over 100 soundtracks and theatre compositions that Schmidt has worked on over the past three decades.  The collection includes music from Palermo Shooting (Wim Wenders, 2008),Schneeland (Hans W. Geissendörfer, 2005) as well as the critically acclaimed German TV series Blochand Tatort, plus the TV film, Mord In Eberswalde by Stephan Wagner, for which Schmidt won the Best Film Music award from the Deutsche Akademie Für Fernsehen in 2013. The Electro Violet box comes with a 40-page booklet, featuring new sleevenotes from Max Dax, Irmin Schmidt, and Wim Wenders. Each album is presented in an individual gatefold sleeve and the artwork, entitled Bärenkuss 5, is by longtime friend, the Berlin artist FRANEK - the original art measures at 142cmx122cm, for more information on the artist, go to: http://www.franek-berlin.de Listen to “Why Not,” an unreleased track from the box set here.

Praise for Eleanor Friedberger + "He Didn't Mention His Mother": "Friedberger makes breezy-sounding music about adult situations. She notices life's little details...and weaves them into a cozy tapestry...What a beautiful, subtle way to describe a beautiful, subtle feeling." - Pitchfork "...a beautifully lush ramble that evokes the greats of the '70s without aping any of them too closely." -Stereogum "...a slowly rolling charmer streaked with fine, crisp guitar lines." - Consequence of Sound "...subtle, poetic..." - Village Voice Eleanor Friedberger has announced a month-long North American tour in support of her forthcoming record New View. These shows will feature new material, as well as favorites from her previous, much-loved solo records, Last Summer and Personal Record. Tickets go on sale Friday at 12 PM locally. See below to find a show near you! Eleanor Friedberger will release New View on January 22nd, 2016. New View is the follow-up to 2013's critically acclaimed Personal Record and is her first album as a signee to NYC's seminal indie label Frenchkiss Records. New View signals a fresh beginning for the former Fiery Furnaces' frontwoman. After living in Brooklyn for fourteen years, Friedbergermoved to upstate New York, and the album reflects that region's rustic charm. Friedbergerdrew inspiration for New View from many of her musical heroes - everyone from Van Morrison, Neil Young and George Harrison, to Slapp Happy, Yoko Ono and Elyse.  There are ghost notes of all of those influences on New View, but mostly you hear the singular voice ofEleanor Friedberger, whose warm, inviting alto and incredible word play continue to make her one of the foremost songwriters in the indie rock world today.

School of Seven Bell's SVIIB Available for Preorder, New Song 'Open Your Eyes' Premieres on Vice

SCHOOL OF SEVEN BELLS’ NEW ALBUM, SVIIB, AVAILABLE TO PREORDER TODAY

NEW SONG ‘OPEN YOUR EYES’ PREMIERES TODAY VIA VICE

Produced by Benjamin Curtis & Justin Meldal-Johnsen and Mixed by Tony Hoffer

(November 13, 2015)-Today, School Of Seven Bells are pleased to share a new track off their upcoming and final record, SVIIB. Entitled “Open Your Eyes,” the premiere serves as a precursor to the album’s release on February 12, 2016. Check it out today exclusively on Vice. 

It was in the summer of 2012 that SVIIB was written, “I can easily say that it was one of the most creative and inspired summers of our lives,” Alejandra Deheza recounts. “What followed was the most tragic, soul shaking tidal wave that life could ever deliver, but even that wouldn’t stop the vision for this record being realized”.

It was in early 2013 that Benjamin Curtis was diagnosed with a rare form of T-Cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma, less than a year later Deheza would be the sole member of the group. Benjamin Curtis passed away on December 29, 2013.

In 2014 Deheza moved to Los Angeles to finish the record with Justin Meldal-Johnsen (Beck, Nine Inch Nails, M83), “I’m trying to feature Benjamin as much as possible”, Meldal-Johnsen says. As soon as Alley was settled in LA it took the two only a month and a half to finish the record. “ This is a love letter from start to finish. It's the story of us starting from that first day we met in 2004, and that's the story of School of Seven Bells,” Alley says, “When I see those roman numerals, I just think of an era”.

SVIIB will be released on February 12, 2016 via Vagrant Records in the US, and Full Time Hobby in Europe, but today fans can pre-order the album on iTunes and receive “Open Your Eyes” as an instant download.
