NEW FROM PROPER MUSIC

AMY RAY HOLLER

Amy Ray, still thriving as one half of GRAMMY-winning folk duo Indigo Girls, is releasing Holler on November 2nd on Daemon Records, via the Compass Records Group – and will include a special double LP version. “Melding the urgency of punk with the earthiness of country and the vaunt of Southern soul, Holler embraces more aspects of Ray’s influences than any of her past efforts” FOLK ALLEY DAEMON RECORDS

RICHARD LLOYD THE COUNTDOWN

On The Countdown, Richard Lloyd creates an honest, natural expression with his stylized guitar sound and swagger. “I can only be me,” he says. “I can’t turn into somebody else. So every record I make is just a progression. I never felt the angst necessary to be a punk. I was too young to be a beatnik and too old to be a hippy. I like to say I’m an anthropologist from another planet who is observing human nature and expressing my observations through rock ‘n’ roll.” PLOWBOY

ERIN COSTELO SWEET MARIE

On Sweet Marie, Canadian Soul singer Erin Costelo takes a break from the heavy themes often found in songwriting, and brings a light-hearted, groovy approach to the track, marrying a deep Memphis feel with an unexpected theme: aliens. “It’s as if her songs are written by your heroes… an ocean of soul and beyond...” BOB MERSEREAU, CBC RADIO COMPASS RECORDS
