PRAISE FOR TAKEN BY TREES 
"Utterly transportive"
-GORILLA VS. BEAR

"Blissful pop" -STEREOGUM

"Lending her shy detachment to Peter Bjorn and John's world-conquering "Young Folks", she participated in a moment likely to define Swedish pop for many casual listeners…[East of Eden is] a masterful, hypnotic album that draws on a world of influences but is ultimately limited by none."
-PITCHFORK

"She transforms a Sufi song into a lullaby, and like her simultaneously near-and-distant voice, turns a faraway place into home." -FILTER

Talk Normal Announce Fall Tour Dates With Future Islands

Talk Normal Announce Fall Tour Dates With Future Islands
Sophomore Album Out October 23 On Joyful Noise

Watch: "Bad Date" video via Stereogum Download: "Bad Date" via Pitchfork

Talk Normal will release their sophomore LP Sunshine on October 23 via Joyful Noise Recordings. The band just announced a fall tour with Future Islands in support of the release. All shows are listed below.

After years of friendship, Sarah Register and Andrya Ambro's Talk Normal first emerged on the NYC music scene in 2007, initially releasing demos, cassettes and their Secret Cog vinyl EP. Following the 2009 release of their debut album Sugarland on Rare Book Room Records (recorded and mixed by Nicolas Vernhes), Talk Normal released a handful of 7"s (including a split 7" with Thurston Moore on Nathan Howdeshell from The Gossip's Fast Weapons Records) and shared the stage with the likes of Sonic Youth, Wire, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Zola Jesus.

In the three years since Sugarland, Talk Normal have refined their noisy vigor into the diverse batch of songs found on Sunshine. Tracks like "Bad Date", "Cover", and "Hurricane" carry almost a meditative emotional energy, where others like "Sunshine" and "Shot This Time" err on the side of explosive driving rock. Plus dance-y "XO", narrative noisers "Lone General" and "Baby, Your Heart's Too Big", and standout vocal harmonies on "Hot Water Burns". Produced by the band, Sunshine was recorded in 2011 by Christina Files at Vacation Island Studios in Brooklyn NY and Echo Canyon West in Hoboken NJ (Files also contributed to production). Allen Farmello mixed at The Snow Farm in Brooklyn NY.

Unlike traditional noisy-rock, Talk Normal's Sunshine is steeped in melody, albeit unconventional melody. Sweet-sounding female vocals are present throughout, sometimes as sung lyrics and sometimes as instruments themselves. Ambro & Register's combined voices often volley back and forth, each providing equal contributions to vocals, lyrics, and instrumentation - meticulously orchestrating not only the arrangements, but also the tonality of each collected sound. As Pitchfork describes: "(their) vocals can handle both desperate screech and matter-of-fact detachment somewhere between Karen O and Kim Gordon." Combined with Register's flowing, nearly-drony riffs and Ambro's finely choreographed beats, the end result is a natural sonic cohesion. Maybe not the sunshine you're used to, but rays within which you'll want to bask.

Upcoming Shows:

11.02 - Raleigh, NC @ Lincoln Theatre
11.03 - Savannah, GA @ The Wormhole
11.04 - Jacksonville, FL @ Jack Rabbit's
11.05 - Orlando, FL @ The Social

Lili Haydn releases single "Tyrant"


"FIERY & VIRTUOSIC" SINGERVIOLINIST & COMPOSER
LILI HAYDN RELEASES FIRST SINGLE "TYRANT" FROM FORTHCOMING ALBUM I AM A MAN 
DUE FOR RELEASE EARLY 2013

"TYRANT" AVAILABLE FOR FREE DOWNLOAD HERE
(RIGHT CLICK TO DOWNLOAD)

UPCOMING PERFORMANCES INCLUDE VENICE BEACH MUSIC FESTIVAL ON SEPTEMBER 8, 2012, LOS ANGELES LOBSTER FESTIVAL ON SEPTEMBER 15, 2012 & FEATURED GUEST AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL WITH JASON MRAZ & CHRISTINA PERRI ON OCTOBER 5, 2012

"Haydn has a voice so sublime that it is truly like the fifth string
of her virtuoso violin." - Paper Magazine
 
“Courageously intimate with her audience, Haydn lays into her violin
as if it’s a wild animal only she can bring to heel.  The effect is an
emotional magic show…a party of sound…electronica beat, lyrical
strings, ethereal voice, and words that resonate in the battered
chamber of the human soul.”  - L.A. Weekly

"Unique, creative, moving, bold, sonically beautiful and really fucking
clever. The strike of her bow is aggressively rich. Lili's
relationship with her instrument is so intimate and intense, the two
work together with such fidelity. I love this record for its
craftsmanship & honesty. I would go on this ride again & again &
again..." - Linda Perry (Songwriter and Producer for P!nk, Celine Dion & more) praising upcoming album


(Los Angeles, CA) Dubbed "fiery and virtuosic" by Rolling Stone and "the Jimi Hendrix of the violin" by none other than George Clinton, the accomplished and revered Lili Haydn is gearing up for her fourth studio album, I am a Man, due for release early 2013.  Already gaining the respect of industry heavy hitters & tastemakers including Linda Perry, and George Clinton, I Am a Man is guaranteed to not disappoint with it's quirky pop hooks, raw grooves and honest incisive lyrics. "Tyrant", the first single from the upcoming album highlights Lili's soulful and melodic talent, in addition to her passion for social justice and is now available for free download HERE.

Both as a solo artist and in her legendary collaborations (Roger Waters, Herbie Hancock, Page and Plant), Lili has toured the world and her records have been celebrated by NPR, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and audiences worldwide. In addition, she is the featured voice and violin on several films with Hans Zimmer (Pirates of the Caribbean 3 & 4), among many others.  Lili is also a film composer in her own right, with six feature films to her scoring credit, additional Music credits on several films, and a Film Composing Fellowship to the prestigious Sundance Film Institute.  Her film credits include Zeitgeist: Moving Forward, (2011), Somewhere Between (2012), and the award winning film The Horse Boy (2009), among others.  She is currently working on a feature called The Sublime and Beautiful, starring and directed by Blake Robbins. 
 
A humanitarian and activist, Lili also performs regularly for various human rights organizations, including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, the Global Security Institute (for whom she recently performed a concert at the UN).   Above all, Lili believes that music has the power to uplift and heal, and she’s very excited to share her new music with the world.  Upcoming performances including the Venice Beach Music Festival on September 8, 2012, Los Angeles Lobster Festival on September 15, 2012, and as a featured guest at the Hollywood Bowl with Christina Perri, opening for Jason Mraz on October 5, 2012.
