Neil Halstead is a man who wears many hats. Outside of his growing solo career, he was also not only a founding member of Mojave 3, but also of Slowdive, the early 90s slowcore favorite. And now to add to his solo collection of music, he's readying his second album, Oh, Mighty Engine, due July 29th on Brushfire Records, his first for the label.
To get your, um, engines ready, we offer you the first taste of the new album in the form of the track "Paint A Face". It's a laid back acoustic number perfect to put on and sit back and ... paint faces to.
People buying CDs might not be the hip thing to do anymore, but people sure do still like their vinyl, we all know that. So do the fine folks at Brushfire Records who are helping out in this week's giveaway.
We don't have one or two, or three, but four Brushfire Records 12" samplers! It's chock full of some great music from Mason Jennings, Rogue Wave, Matt Costa, G. Love & Special Sauce, and that Jack Johnson guy who also serves as the label's head honcho. And if you are concerned you won't be able to listen to it because your new turntable needles haven't arrive via the mail yet, fear not for each winner will also receive a coupon to download the entire sampler - for free!
