Prior to 2009’s critically acclaimed full-length Post-Nothing, Japandroids released two 5-song EPs (All Lies & Lullaby Death Jams) on CD-R. The EPs were limited to 500 copies each & quickly fell out of print.

No Singles compiles these two EPs into one album. Meticulous packaging designed by the band includes a 32-page booklet detailing Japandroids’ early history, including rare photos & show fliers.

The Hype Machine

Volkan Ergen

Icelandic dream-pop septet Seabear’s sophomore release, We Built A Fire, was released last week on Morr Music! What started as a lo-fi solo project of Icelandic singer/multi-instrumentalist Sindri Már Sigfússon, has grown into a rambling experimental/indie-folk collaboration. The band is now preparing for their first-ever set of performances in N. America starting with SXSW. Catch Seabear with Via Tania & fellow Morr Music/Sound of a Handshake artist & Seabear member Sóley when they come to your town (all dates after the jump).
