The New Shit The Cool Shit (Part 1)28.07.10
The single just came out out and I… Wait… what? A month ago? Huh. I’d like to say I was doing busy things so let’s just go with that and move on.
Pawn Shop’s first single is being offered in a download-able, pay-what-you-want format, and it includes two songs off the forthcoming album, the music video for Datura Root, extra artwork, and some supremely creepy wallpaper.

Only a Pawn in Their Game24.06.10
Well the time has finally come at last. The new single from ‘Pawn Shop’ has been released on Nocturne Records. The single is called ‘Datura Root’ and along with the release of the music itself comes the video you see above that was created during the making of the album. The single has two tracks: A Side – Datura Root and the B Side – Shadow of the Pilon. I wont even try to touch on the genre or elements that make up the music itself with this post, suffice to say that this single only showcases a little bit of the genre bending madness that is ‘Pawn Shop’. The full length release should be out later this summer but for now head over to our new and improved artist pages at bandcamp and get it. You can also buy a hard copy (CD only, for now) at our store if you like to have something that you can hold in your hands.
You might have also noticed a few changes on the album download pages. We have implemented a ‘pay what you want’ system for each album. Essentially allowing you as a listener to contribute whatever amount of money you think each album is worth. This system also has the added bonus of giving out extra goodies for donations over the 4 dollar mark. Because we are good people, we give out certain bonus material with each download however, each album now offers extra content for those willing to put some money up for the music they believe in and enjoy. Check out each album description to see what bonus material is available for each particular release.
Expect to see some other big updates within the next few weeks. Things are really starting to get exciting at Nocturne Records.

Slow and Low, That is the Tempo19.05.10
I recently received word that the directors cut of ‘Heartless’, an indie film that I created the score for has been released. You can check it out above. Director Var Bhalla from Redline Media is working had to get this film out there so if you enjoy it, spread the word! A bit about the film:
“This is our second short film that we have produced. A lot of hard work, love and passion went into making this and we are very proud of it. Heartless is told in first person narrative style with no words spoken on screen, instead propelled forward by an all-original soundtrack that acts as a second narrator.”

Throwing Tuxedos On The Wax07.05.10
A few months ago, a small factory in Cleveland started pressing records. Why does that matter? Because Gotta Groove is the first new vinyl pressing facility to come out of the United States in a long, long time. Somehow, a group of smart, experienced people got together and decided there was money to be made pressing vinyl. What’s more, they got other people to agree with that assessment and give them some money. Apparently, records are good business again. So, how did we get here? Read On…

What Once Was19.03.10
We’ve been tossing around the idea of a possible road trip sometime in the near future. Just a few random run of the mill tourist destinations in Canada that no other sane human being would ever want to visit. Maybe even doing some recording on the road, if we can find a way to take some equipment. While the trip idea is there with all good intentions, doing a project like that costs money and your generous donations (***SHAMELESS PLUG – If you downloaded our music and you like it, have you considered donating?), would sadly not be enough to cover a trip like that.

Courage Echizen Kurage15.03.10
In the seas off coastal Japan, a nightmare is taking shape. What we have is a plague of giant man-eating jellyfish. Seriously. They look like massive winged brains, they weigh in at a very zombie friendly 450 pounds and there are billions of them. If you think I’m kidding, one of these crazy assholes capsized a 10-ton (!) fishing boat that made the mistake of thinking it could, you know, fish.

Downward To Darkness On Extended Wings13.03.10
A short documentary about a new vinyl pressing plant in Cleveland Ohio, called “Gotta Groove Records”. Exciting stuff for labels and vinyl enthusiast alike.
We have also been hard at work on the next album release and a few other projects that have been on the back burner for a while. One of which I have been working on with director/animator/designer Daniele Manoli for a few months now. Although it is not available in its entirety to the public, you can now view the trailer for it below!
