Secretly Canadian/Jagjaguwar owners start new label
It's a new year, and along with it comes a new label in the Secretly Canadian/Jagjaguwar family. Dead Oceans will take its place beside its sister labels and will be run by the same staff, with the addition of former Misra label manager Phil Waldorf. The label promises tons of exciting news to come, including details on a SXSW showcase, and so far Dead Oceans is scheduled to put out releases by Bishop Allen, Dirty Projectors, Evangelicals, and Iran this year.
Visit the label's Web site for more information.

Pretty weird mix. Wonder why they decided to start up another label instead of adding these guys to SC or Jag though?

Josh H.

The band plays two songs from So Gone, “Here Comes Trouble” and “Another Day” (mistakenly labeled “Another Way”–easy gaffe to make). They follow those up with an older unreleased track, “The Halloween Song (The Ghost of Abner E. Norman)” and newbie “Skeleton Man.” Detect a scary theme? Yeah, the session was recorded in October.            [...]
