Happy (belated) Holidays!

What a year it’s been! Starting this business this year has been an incredible experience and we’re really excited about everything coming up in 2010. We’re working on a new release schedule for our artists and have also signed a new young artist from Atlanta, Grace Bellury. Her voice is unbelievable and we’re pumped to be the ones to share her talent with the world. We’ll also have new material from Duchess Leo and Pacific Theater in the summer/fall.

Brooklyn based band Pacific Theater have released their debut full-length record “Animals At Night” on vinyl. It’s available now from our website and also at Insound (somehow Insound ended up being cheaper, who knew?).

Pacific Theater are now in the midst of writing their next album, but in the meantime some really awesome artists have been donating their talents to remixing tracks from Animals At Night. Here are two MP3s to check out!

Telescope - Stab Stab Die remix
Wicked Fire - Todd Buchler remix

Thanks so much for a great 2009, here’s looking forward to a great new decade!

LPs

We’re proud parents of our first baby LP, Pacific Theater’s “Animals At Night”. It’s a beauty too. Buy it!

It feels good to be gangsta...

The new site is up and running and we couldn’t be happier with how it’s looking. Matt and the fine folks at DiscRevolt have been accommodating and a pleasure to work with in building our store. The Pacific Theater vinyl goes to press on Monday if you pre-order a record, you can expect it to ship in mid-November.

We’re really proud of everything we’ve produced in 2009 and are even more excited about the things to come in 2010. It should be a great year with releases from all of our artists and maybe a few surprises along the way.

Stay tuned and visit the store!

Changes

You may notice some changes here. We’re gearing up for an overhaul of Whale Heart Records and the blog is the first thing to get it’s facelift. It’s not perfect yet, but bear with us while we work out the kinks.

Celestial Bears

One of my favorite bands in Brooklyn these days is Bear In Heaven. Their new album “Beast Rest Forth Mouth” comes out October 13th on Home Tapes. Right now they just started an east coast tour. Check out this awesome remix of their first single “Wholehearted Mess” here.

Check them out online - http://www.bearinheaven.com and catch their live show. It’s really great!
