***MAGIC BULLETS gear up for their latest and final release in the form of Much Ado About: a seven track EP that comprises perhaps their best work yet. The San Francisco quintet dissolved last fall, playing their last show on August 24 at The Rickshaw Stop.But before they say their 'so-long's and 'farewell's, they're leaving us with one more incredible EP recorded, mixed, and co-produced by MONTE VALLIER (Half Church/Swell). The collection starts and ends with the sound of a cassette being placed in and taken out of a stereo, lending a nostalgic air of hearing an old mix tape from a good friend. The album spans a breadth of emotion and style, displaying the eclectic influences that characterized their last record. From the Luther Vandross and Chic leanings of "Common House Cats" to the William Ackerman inspired "No Longer There," Much Ado About will delight fans who have already come to love the band's broad approach to jangle-pop. Audiences who attended their set at SXSW last year and CMJ the year prior will likely recognize some tracks which were live favorites and were recorded in San Francisco in January and June of 2011.

***WOODEN INDIAN BURIAL GROUND formed in Portland, Oregon in 2007. As a duo the band employed banjo’s, chord organs, fuzz guitars and other various instruments, making a glorious racket across the Western, Central, and Southern United States. This incited an 11 track album of lo-fi experimental folk tunes self-released in 2008. The band grew in numbers and influence, playing shows under various names with various members until settling down with a stable lineup and signing with Mon Amie in 2010. Limited edition of 500 copies packaged in screen-printed jackets with hand-printed inserts and download cards. (STREET DATE - 8/16/2011)
