Antony and the Johnsons
“Flétta” [feat. Björk]
Early this morning, Antony posted a link to Tumblr on his Twitter, directing us to new song “Flétta,” his incredible duet with Björk Guðmundsdóttir. Give a listen, buy the new album Swanlights on October 12 (via Secretly Canadian), and weep like you’ve never weeped before.

Tu Fawning
“The Felt Sense”
Tu Fawning, featuring Portland’s Corrina Repp and Joe Haege, are releasing their debut full-length, Hearts On Hold, on October 5 through their own Provenance Records. Why their own record label? According to the band:
We have all seen enough to know that many artists sacrifice creative control, even in small ways, upon deciding to work with a 3rd party. Hell, they (record labels) used to decide what song you’d play, who’d you play with and when you’d release it…and then they might not pay you! While it may not be that bad anymore, at least on the independent label level, you are still a commodity. Art will always take a backseat to the notion of moving units. But what happens when you are driving the car and you invite art to the front seat?
Buckle up, readers.

David Bazan
On the Road [documentary]
David Bazan (Pedro The Lion) is a thinker. His music reflect that, and that’s why TMT has always supported what he’s done. It’s also why he makes for a great subject for a documentary, and thanks to producer/videographer/editor/emailer J. Wakeford Francis and Feltheart Filmworks, we have one called On the Road. The video above, filmed last fall, is part 1 of 3. You can find the rest at Feltheart Filmworks.

Three Mile Pilot
“Still Alive”
Three Mile Pilot, who have been out of commission for awhile to concentrate on Pinback and The Black Heart Procession, are finally back with a new album, The Inevitable Past Is The Future Forgotten, due September 28 from the good people at Temporary Residence Ltd. “Still Alive” might not be as classic as “Stayin’ Alive,” but let’s give it some time, eh?
