Grampall Jookabox, Ropechain Grampall Jookabox's second album braids holy fear, schizophrenic inspiration, baroque pop-references, and deep, mystical love into a formidable work likely to leave aficionados of rock-n-roll 2 trapped in an obsessive cycle of listening and re-listening.

HABITAT DIGITIZED 2008-11-18
Thanks to the efforts of Asthmatic Kitty Employees Sufjan Stevens, Lowell Brams, and Michael Kaufmann, we released Habitat a few weeks ago, exclusive to our own mail-order store. Taking years to compile, the two-CD set benefits Habitat for Humanity and includes over 29 electronic experimental tracks that explore the notion of architectural space. Although the tracks are widespread in their sound and influence, you can hear a sample track from Actuel on XLR8R right here.
And for those who prefer digital to physical, you will be happy to know that our exclusive run on the set has ended. We now relinquish partial control of its distribution to iTunes, who is selling it digitally for $9.99. You can buy it here, or if you prefer shiny, real things, you can buy the CDs from us for $10 (+S&H) here. Again, proceeds go to Habitat for Humanity.
UNUSUAL ANIMALS EVENT IN TACOMA TONIGHT 2008-11-15
If you're reading this and you live in or near Tacoma, Washington, please consider seeing the Unusual Animals event this evening, hosted by The Helm. Art starts at 5pm, and the music at 6:30pm. Art includes dear friends of the label the Bents, and music headlines Grampall Jookabox.
Click more to see the wonderful poster for this Unusual Animals.
Not only do they play music, utilize robotics, and read books, but Cryptacize also deejays! Friday, November 14th, at 3pm, Cryptacize will be guest dj-ing at San Francisco's KUSF 90.3 FM. (Now, what they'll play is anyone's guess.)
You can listen to them on the FM dial if you're in range, or you can utilize the amazing power of the Internet and listen to them without using a dial right here.
Oh wait...no radio? No Internet? See them in person, touring with Danielson, at one of the cities listed here.
Collect the entire full-length history of Castanets, from Cathedral (2004), to the haunting First Lights Freeze (2006), to the mystic In the Vines (2007) for just $15. And while supplies last, this bundle also includes a limited edition tour EP split with Shapes and Sizes.
