Mountain Man Returns with Its First Album in Eight Years, Magic Ship, on September 21

Nonesuch Records releases the acclaimed trio Mountain Man’s first album in eight years, Magic Ship, on September 21, 2018. The record, their first for the label, includes eleven original songs written by the trio—Amelia Meath, Alexandra Sauser-Monnig, and Molly Sarlé—as well as interpretations of Ted Lucas’ “Baby Where You Are,” Michael Hurley’s “Blue Mountain,” and the traditional hymn, “Bright Morning Stars.” Three tracks from the album—“Window,” “Rang Tang Ring Toon,” and “Stella”—are available today.

Pitchfork said Mountain Man’s beloved 2010 debut, Made the Harbor, “feels like a private performance of friends only out to please themselves. But if you promise to sit quietly and listen, you’re more than welcome to stay.” The trio had formed shortly before its release, during their Vermont college years. “We all have this secret access to each other’s feelings, whether or not we’re singing. That is what creates the alchemy when we are singing together,” says Sarlé.

The three musicians went in different directions after the Made the Harbor tour: Meath moved to Durham, North Carolina and eventually started Sylvan Esso. Sarlé headed for a Zen center in California. Sauser-Monnig first moved to Minnesota, then to a farm in North Carolina. They eventually all ended up in North Carolina, spending time together as old friends.

They reunited as a band last summer at the Eaux Claires music festival, on a tiny, cabin-like stage tucked into a forest, in front of an unusually large audience hanging on every note. Meath says, “When the first Eaux Claires happened, I realized it was the perfect place for Mountain Man to play, if Mountain Man was ever going to play again. Cute boys stood in stinging nettles to hear us. So many people cried. And it felt really good, just like it always did.”

Mountain Man reconvened a few months later at Meath’s home studio in Durham to begin what would become Magic Ship. Sauser-Monnig explains, “We all got together at Molly’s house in the wintertime, on one of the snowy days that rarely happen in North Carolina. We built a fire in the wood stove and shared a handful of songs that felt like they could be right for Mountain Man. It happened really naturally, and all of those songs ended up being on the record.

Why Don’t We Announce “8 Letters” Album Out August 31

Why Don’t We Announce “8 Letters” Album Out August 31

Why Don’t We has announced the release of their much anticipated, full length debut album. 8 LETTERS arrives at all digital music retailers and streaming services on Friday, August 31st.

8 LETTERS is heralded by today’s release of the album’s title track, available now for streaming and download HERE. Produced by GRAMMY® Award-winners The Monsters & Strangerz (Zedd/Maren Morris, Nick Jonas) with additional production by Jonny Price (Keith Urban, Kesha), “8 Letters” will be joined by a new companion visual, currently in post-production.

Produced by Louis Schoorl (5 Seconds of Summer), “Talk,” which shot to #1 on iTunes’ Overall Songs chart ahead of artists including Drake, was greeted with an array of online love, with MTV TRL raving, “this song has all the love and catchiness I love in a boy band song.” “Why Don’t We released another single of their upcoming album,” declared Hollywood Life, and there’s only one word to describe how fans (including us!) are feeling about it: SHOOKETH.”

“Hooked” – produced by Jacob Manson (Craig David, Rudimental Feat. Ed Sheeran) – was equally applauded, including an unadulterated rave in TIME, which wrote, “Why Don’t We continue to churn out the undeniable earworms…. The five boys have a knack for putting out songs that hit that perfect teen pop sweet spot: stuck in your head on the first listen, easy to sing along with and peppered with some smart production flourishes. It’s musical escapism that’s especially apt for a summer fling, no matter your age.”

In addition to the aforementioned track releases, 8 LETTERS will see Why Don’t We collaborating with a stunning line-up of top producers and songwriters. Among the studio superstars contributing to the project are Prince Charlez (Rihanna, Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar), MoZella (Miley Cyrus, Charlie Puth), Mick Schultz (Jeremih, Kelly Clarkson), Sam Hook (Omarion, Chris Brown), and Cutfather (Jamelia, Olly Murs Feat. Demi Lovato).

Why Don’t We will introduce fans to 8 LETTERS with a series of high profile TV performances, including a special Labor Day concert in New York City’s Rockefeller Plaza for NBC’s TODAY, set for Monday, September 3rd. The band will then visit the nationally syndicated Live with Kelly and Ryan for an additional live performance, scheduled for Thursday, September 6th (check local listings).

Why Don’t We will further celebrate 8 LETTERS with a truly epic live schedule, including a major North American headline tour to be announced soon. Meanwhile, the band is about to embark on an eagerly anticipated tour of Asia, with shows set throughout the month in Thailand, Singapore, South Korea, Japan, China, Taiwan, and the Philippines. October will then see Why Don’t We crossing the Atlantic for their biggest European tour thus far, with stops scheduled for Spain, France, Ireland, the Netherlands, Germany, and the United Kingdom, culminating in an October 25th finale at London’s famed Eventim Apollo Hammersmith.

Amassing more than 200 million global audio streams, 3 million Instagram followers, and total YouTube views exceeding 200 million with over 2 million subscribers in just over a year, Why Don’t We has become one of pop music’s biggest breakout stories. Taking an innovative and unconventional approach towards releasing new music and actively engaging their rapidly growing fanbase, the prolific young group – the quintet ranges in age from 16-19 years old – put out four EPs in under 12 months. Following their debut “ONLY THE BEGINNING” and follow-up “SOMETHING DIFFERENT” EPs, it was last summer’s “WHY DON’T WE JUST” EP that truly exploded, hitting #1 on iTunes’ “Pop Albums” chart while overtaking artists like Bruno Mars, Harry Styles, and Ed Sheeran. After selling out their first-ever headlining summer tour, the band put out their “INVITATION” EP – released in September 2017 to commemorate the band’s one year anniversary – which proved an even greater success, topping iTunes’ “Overall Albums” chart in six countries including the United States. The band’s single “These Girls” made a top 10 debut on the iTunes Store’s “Top Pop Songs” chart late last summer, with the companion video now boasting over 51 million views at YouTube alone. The group closed 2017 on a high note, performing on the entire iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour, including the NYC stop at Madison Square Garden where they shared the stage with Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Camilla Cabello and more.

Why Don’t We kicked off 2018 with the release of “Trust Fund Baby.” Written by global superstar and Atlantic labelmate Ed Sheeran, the track shot to #3 on iTunes’ Overall Songs chart and #2 on the Pop Songs chart. “Hooked” proved an equivalent smash upon its June arrival, rocketing to #3 on iTunes’ Overall Songs chart, ahead of such artists as Post Malone, Shawn Mendes, and Ariana Grande, among others.

Widely hailed as an electrifying live act, Why Don’t We has spent much of the past two years on tour around the world, including the recent “Invitation Tour,” which saw the entire North American leg sold out, including multiple nights in LA, Chicago, Toronto, and New York City. The band recently wrapped their biggest European headline tour to date, followed by show-stopping appearances at a slate of summer radio shows here in the U.S.

Cher To Release New Album “Dancing Queen” On September 28

The one and only Cher will be releasing Dancing Queen, a new album of all Abba hits on September 28.

The Oscar, Emmy and Grammy Award winning icon was inspired to record the album following her stunning performance in the recently-released mega-hit film, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again.

Commented Cher: “I’ve always liked Abba and saw the original Mamma Mia musical on Broadway three times. After filming Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, I was reminded again of what great and timeless songs they wrote and started thinking ‘why not do an album of their music?’ The songs were harder to sing than I imagined but I’m so happy with how the music came out. I’m really excited for people to hear it. It’s a perfect time.”

Dancing Queen was recorded and produced in London and Los Angeles with Cher’s longtime collaborator Mark Taylor, who previously produced Cher’s global smash “Believe” which was number one in over 50 countries.

The track listing for Dancing Queen previously announced on Cher’s twitter is listed below.

Cher is scheduled to be awarded a Kennedy Center Honor on December 2nd in Washington DC. She is a co-producer of the The Cher Show, the upcoming Broadway musical opening on December 3rd and will be touring Australia and New Zealand in September. She is currently performing a residency at MGM Resorts.

Rising Star Hayley Reardon Releases New Take On “America The Beautiful”

Rising Star Hayley Reardon Releases New Take On “America The Beautiful”

Hayley Reardon quickly established a name for herself in the storied Cambridge, Massachusetts folk scene at a very young age, after her sterling debut album, Where The Artists Go, achieved widespread acclaim in New England with feature support from the Boston Herald, NPR affiliate WBUR, and Boston Globe Magazine, who named her a ‘Bostonian of the Year’. Hayley’s 2014 release Wayfindings expanded her International footprint via syndicated public radio show “Art of the Song,” and praise from Paste, Performer Magazine, Americana UK, and American Songwriter.

Her new music video is a new take on the old classic “America The Beautiful”. It is best described in her own words: “Recently, “America the Beautiful” popped into my head and hit me differently than it ever had before. This old anthem, originally written in the 1800s, felt so poignant and important all of a sudden. It left me inspired to update the song in light of our current situation. This “America the Beautiful” is for all of the good, honorable people of every color, background, circumstance, and political affiliation who are out there every day, doing the best they can and whether they know it or not, making and keeping America beautiful — even in divisive and disappointing times like these.”
