HOBOKEN DiViSiON!

Here's a couple kids from Nancy, France, in love with the Velvets, My Bloody Valentine (and maybe some Blood Red Shoes,) The Kills, Dead Weather and dirty,dirty blues. Fronted by a French harp blowing Chrissie Hynde (or Karen O) and a guitarist whose swaggering tone could be confused with a more focused Jack White's, or a heavier Kenny Brown's, all held down by a burly, solid drum machine. 

Tough, sexy, dark, and a little menacing, Marie and Mathieu are Hoboken Division, named for the American port city, birthplace of Mr. Sinatra, and the port that American servicemen, who brought blues and jazz to Europe, departed from. 

Like all good bands they were formed over a beer (in 2011.) Marie has a love for jazz singers and everything Jack White has done, Cat Power, and Joplin (though lucky us she makes no attempt to ape her,) Mathieu digs R.L. Burnside, Junior Kimbrough, but in varying measure Spacemen 3, Seasick Steve, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Fred McDowell, and the Bowie mix of Iggy's Raw Power. All these totems combine to make a fresh blues-infected sound that would rule the roost at White's Third Man Records. Out now is a limited edition 7" featuring the dark original A Night Out b/w their own even darker, heavier, drony, and fuzzed out take on Skip James' Devil Got My Woman. There's also a delicious four song ep available. You need and deserve both. We need to hear a lot more from Hoboken Division.

THIRD MAN + REVENANT PARTNER TO RELEASE HISTORIC TWO-VOLUME WONDER-CABINET ‘THE RISE & FALL OF PARAMOUNT RECORDS 1917-1932

Via Third Man Records:: 

How did a Wisconsin chair company, producing records on the cheap and run by men with little knowledge of their audience or the music business, build one of the greatest musical rosters ever assembled under one roof? The answer lies in ‘The Rise and Fall of Paramount Records 1917-1932,’ an epic, two-volume omnibus of art, words and music housed in a limited-edition, hand-sculpted cabinet-of-wonder, to be jointly released by Jack White’s Third Man Records and John Fahey’s Revenant Records. 

‘Volume One,’ which covers the label’s improbable rise from 1917-1927, will be released exclusively through Third Man on October 29, and worldwide on November 19. The project is co-produced by leading Paramount authority Alex van der Tuuk, and ‘Volume 2’ will be released in November 2014.

Paramount Records was founded on a modest proposition: produce records as cheaply as possible, recording whatever talent was available. Over its lifetime, the label would become a “race records” powerhouse, its sound and fortunes directly linked to the Great Migration.

By the time Paramount ceased operations in 1932, it had compiled a dizzying array of performers still unrivaled to this day, spanning early jazz titans (Louis Armstrong, King Oliver, Jelly Roll Morton, Fats Waller), blues masters (Charley Patton, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Son House, Skip James), American divas (Ma Rainey, Alberta Hunter, Ethel Waters), gospel (Norfolk Jubilee Quartette), vaudeville (Papa Charlie Jackson), and the indefinable “other” (Geeshie Wiley, Elvie Thomas). Paramount would also directly influence the style of Robert Crumb and countless other 20th century artists and illustrators, through a series of hand-drawn ads promoting its releases in the pages of the Chicago Defender.

The ‘Rise and Fall’ wonder-cabinet gives equal status to page-turning narrative and new scholarship; original and newly created graphic art; industrial design; and compelling analog and digital music experiences. ‘Volume One’ contains the following:

* 800 newly-remastered digital tracks, representing 172 artists

* 200+ fully-restored original 1920s ads and images

* 6x 180g vinyl LPs pressed on burled chestnut colored vinyl w/ hand-engraved, blind-embossed gold-leaf labels, housed in a laser-etched white birch LP folio

* 250 page deluxe large-format clothbound hardcover art book

* 360 page encyclopedia-style softcover field guide containing artist portraits and full Paramount discography

* Handcrafted quarter-sawn oak cabinet with lush sage velvet upholstery and custom-forged metal hardware

* First-of-its-kind music and image player app, allowing user mgmt of all tracks and ads, housed on custom-designed USB drive

SEASiCK STEVE @ SXSW w/Jack White

Our man Seasick Steve has signed a one record deal w/Jack White's Third Man Records. Evidently signed Mr. White's desk in his rolling record store (unless Jack is pullin' our third man leg). You can skip right past Jack White (tho do stop and take a look at his gorgeous guitar) and go right to Seasick Steve at the 5:30 mark.
