WINTERPILLS (20th ANNIVERSARY EDITION)

OUT NOW

When Winterpills released their debut album in the fall of 2005, fans and critics alike scrambled to define what made it one of most significant musical discoveries of the year. Critics met the album with descriptions like "Heavy with moments of sheer beauty," "exquisite vocals," "deeply moving & heartrending," and "as textured as the best indie rock around.” Fans made Winterpills a most requested band on radio stations across the country. A feature on NPR's Weekend Edition followed along with performances on syndicated radio shows World Café, Mountain Stage and others.

To celebrate 20 years since that eponymous debut hit the indie-folk world, the album has been lovingly remastered with the addition of two new bonus tracks, “Everybody Gets High” and “Looking Down” (Flora’s version).

WINGED VICTORY

OUT NOW

Within his heart and his music, folksinger Willi Carlisle holds tight the conviction that love is bigger than hate, and no-one is expendable. Deemed "One of country music’s most important and unmistakable voices.” (PASTE), Carlisle’s music has always been a dance between spectacle and philosophy.

On his fourth studio (and first self-produced) album, Winged Victory, Carlisle returns with his signature blend of traditionally-rooted folk music and kaleidoscope of oddball characters to confer with his core tenets in more overt and provocative ways. Intent on creating art and a well-rounded life in a broken world, Carlisle directly addresses the hope that by understanding our collective suffering we might be free of it. Rather than a manifesto, the eleven songs on Winged Victory should be understood as a reflection. They revel in the beauty of tiny, monetarily-worthless moments and things, offering with them a consideration of our innate humanity.

EVERYBODY GETS HIGH (single)

OUT NOW

The acclaimed Northampton, MA band Winterpills have announced the re-issue of their eponymous debut album. Winterpills (20th Anniversary Edition will be released on July 11th via Signature Sounds. Pre-save the 20th Anniversary Edition here. The album has been lovingly remastered with the addition of two new bonus tracks, “Everybody Gets High” and “Looking Down” (Flora’s version). 

Fans can hear the recently remixed and remastered “Everybody Gets High” today here. The song was recorded during the session for the very first eponymous Winterpills album in 2005, but left off. When asked why, the band’s frontman Philip Price reflects, “To be honest, at the time, it seemed a bit too upbeat in sound compared to the other songs on the album. I felt like we had something really cohesive in the overall vibe, and adding this shiny little bauble threw it off, drew too much attention. That, and the fact that we already had a song on the album that dealt with someone with a drug problem ("Pills For Sara"), sealed the deal.”

WATERTOP

NEW ALBUM SEPT. 12 - PRE-ORDER NOW

Ali McGuirk has never been a church mouse. Her 2022 album, Til It’s Gone, was met with widespread acclaim and praised for its “earthy tenderness and smart introspection” (Boston Herald). She now returns with a new album, Watertop,  that elevates her signature soulful and smoldering sound to new heights—this time, the production is richer, and the message is unflinching.

It’s hard to pinpoint the exact moment that led to the freedom in McGuirk’s songwriting on Watertop. Perhaps it was when she began treating social activism—and her care for others—as a spiritual practice. This transformation gave Watertopits raison d’etre, which comes at you quickly with the opening track, “Love Goes First.” With Watertop McGuirk takes a magnifying glass to the complexities of human and societal value, unraveling the meanings of care, empathy, love, and even greed. At first listen, her words aren't always what they seem. But the richness of McGuirk’s voice, the lucidity of her production, and the power of her delivery guide you to the truth.

BEESWING

SINGLE - OUT NOW

"I’ve heard a lot of marvelous covers of 'Beeswing,' but never one done on the concertina, as we did. I wanted the record to include a song about romantic love that had ideas about freedom and victory. For me, the song turns on the line 'And they say her flower’s faded now / from hard weather and hard booze / but maybe that's the price you pay for the chains you refuse.' If you want to be untouchable by the regular world, maybe freedom is actually a really expensive thing, and maybe you have to try really hard to reach it.”

Tear My Stillhouse Down (Feat. Lindsay Lou)

New EP coming later this year!

SINGLE OUT NOW

"My Mom showed this song to me when I was really young and I've loved it ever since. I'm a lifelong fan of Gillian Welch and this has always been one of my favorite songs of hers. We've covered this song for years in the band and have found that audiences from coast to coast love it when we play it live. It's a popular jam song in the campgrounds at our favorite festivals. I think of this song as Appalachian rock and roll! "   - AJ Lee

WHERE DOES ALL THE $ COME FROM?

SINGLE OUT NOW

"It is and always has been about the money. Whether you tout liberal ideologies or conservative, the bottom line question I want you to ask yourself today is: Where has all the money come from that has built your life?"

A SIDES/B SIDES

OUT NOW

Featuring inspired collaborations with Pony Bradshaw, Caroline Spence, Nicholas Jamerson, Kaia Kater, Andrea Von Kampen, and Sam Burchfield. Baiman reflects,“The idea was to write and record two songs, a digital A Side and B Side, to create a kind of “short story” musical offering. The process of exploring what each collaboration holds in terms of songwriting and performance possibility has been endlessly inspiring,” For this series, Baiman recorded in Nashville with producer Clare Reynolds ("Lollies"), which she says is “another kind of collaboration in which I found a lot of musical growth.”

BUTCHER HOLLER: A TRIBUTE TO LORETTA LYNN

For the first time, Butcher Holler is now available on deluxe vinyl, remastered and expanded with three brand new tracks and artwork.

OUT NOW

Butcher Holler is named for the little Kentucky town where Loretta Lynn was raised. On the tribute album of the same name, acclaimed singer-songwriter Eilen Jewell pays homage to Lynn’s humble roots and timeless, hard-hitting writing and performance style. For the first time, Butcher Holler is now available on vinyl, remastered and expanded with three brand new tracks. Jewell writes, “And so, a toast: to the woman with more banned songs than anyone can count; to that voice that reaches the very grain of the theater walls around her; to our national treasure. Gratitude is not enough, so I sing these songs for any who will listen.” The Boston Globe praised, “There's an irresistible snap to these songs- they're tight, deliciously twangy and rendered without orchestrated frills... [a] deft tribute."
