H A U N T E R & Eskimeaux // 2016 Cassette Subscription Series

Happy to announce the conclusion of our 2016 cassette subscription series with H A U N T E R’s STARTER / HAUNTER and Eskimeaux’s Year of the Rabbit!

For those unfamiliar, H A U N T E R (fka You Always Knew Me Last Week) is the sample-based electroacoustic music project of drummer/musician Sander Bryce (formerly of I Kill Giants). Fun fact: Sander was one of the first interns ever at Topshelf and we both had no idea what we were doing!

The release of this cassette consists of two separate EPs STARTER, which Bryce initially introduced via Bandcamp in September as “the ‘starter’ to a big meal” and HAUNTER which Bryce describes as:

Haunter is the pain and sorrow of the past, present, and future. It is a tragedy of the human experience. We are either the haunter, the haunted, or sometimes both. Pain can be an endless cycle. This is my attempt at ending the cycle and starting over. I hope these songs are the only thing that will haunt the listener. Enjoy…

Eskimeaux’s Gabby Smith has quickly become one of our favorite songwriters. Her 2015 LP O.K. was a monumental album of beat-driven and poetic bedroom pop that blissfully soars and swells on nearly every track.

Year of the Rabbit (originally released on CD, vinyl and digitally via Double Double Whammy earlier this year) is a collection of songs recorded live by Smith and friends, Emily Sprague and Felix Walworth. The record is the first to showcase the sound of Eskimeaux’s live band as its primary sonic touchstone, replacing the highly produced and overdubbed sound of Smith’s earlier records with a more immediate, naturally produced sound.

Pre-orders for both releases are available now and you can now peruse both the entire monthly series and the artists that comprise it.

Is I Kill Giants back?????

No, we still live in separate states and while we love each other wholly, we have no interest in making music as I Kill Giants anymore. We have new bands that we've been working really hard on and that's where we're putting our time and effort. If you wish to support us, please check out our new projects:People Like You - Chris, Nick, SanderTrashlord - DylanPalehound - NickBoyfrndz - Sander Great Grandpa - DylanLeaner - Nick

Send Harold to the Special Olympics! | Adriana Lee's Fundraiser on CrowdRise

My uncle, Harold, is 48 years old and is an adult with autism. He is an artist who loves to draw, and he is also a Special Olympics Athlete! He has competed in the Pan-American Special Olympics before, and won gold for Puerto Rico playing Bocce. This year, he has the chance to play for Puerto Rico in the Special Olympics World Summer Games, held in Los Angeles.Harold now lives with our family here in NJ, having recently moved so his mother could receive life saving brain surgery. She’s doing well, but still can not move back to Puerto Rico, which in turn keeps Harold from being able to train and travel with his team. He will still be able to compete in July, but we will be responsible for flying him to Puerto Rico for the qualifiers, as well as back to Puerto Rico to travel to LA with his team. Since he is also living away from his team, we are responsible for his training until the Olympics. These costs, combined with the multiple flights, hotel and other travel costs, are adding up to be a rather big sum, and we are looking to crowdfunding to help make Harold’s dream come true! We want to raise enough money to cover his flights, hotel, training, and also a day trip to Disneyland. His lifelong dream is to be an animator, and he spends hours daily practicing drawing, you should see his portfolio! We want to make this …

Hey! This is my uncle, Harold. He’s autistic and is competing for Puerto Rico in the Special Olympics. My family needs help sending him to LA to play Bocce for his borinken. Please help out by donating or simply reblogging this link! Any little help counts.

Help my uncle out!
