Secretly Canadian/Jagjaguwar owners start new label

February 16, 2007 4:29 p.m. by Justin Sheppard
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.

[...] The good folks over at Daytrotter recently had Evangelicals (who recently moved from Misra over to the new Secretly Canadian/Jagjaguwar offshoot, Dead Oceans) drop by for a live performance. 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.            [...]
