Live Tracks from There Is No Sin
Head over to the band site for a listen.
We’ll be hosting the video from these performances starting this Monday. They were taped sans crowd at the enchanting Portland, Maine pub The Snug.
Get Us Online at iTunes, Amazon, Napster and eMusic
Some fans are just plain amazing. Chris from Chicago went out of his way to find our latest CD when it was released and had zero luck with iTunes.
Luckily, we’ve put down our Walkmen and IBM Selectrics long enough to push into the twenty-first century. As we promised, like a million years ago, you can now get your Clip Records music from Amazon, eMusic, Napster and iTunes.
Ready? By clicking on the links below, you can help give these two fledgling start-ups a fighting chance (sorry, Adam).
What the Hell is an Eco-Pack?
Thanks to the folks at Utah’s ELS Productions, we’re offering the most unusual CD format we’ve ever seen. The new limited-edition There Is No Sin CD was our first offering with this super-granola packing.
No plastic is used on the inside. The packages are lighter and ship cleaner. The entire thing is recyclable and mostly made of recycled material (except for a tiny foam dot). Of course, the CD can’t be recycled…but why would you want to do that?
For this limited edition edition, we’re wrapping these puppies in a black envelope with custom labeling on the outside. Very handmade. Impress your friends.
Interview with There Is No Sin in My Body
Sunday May 10, 2009
Our resident humorist Margaret Lyons avoided interview conventions today when she interviewed There Is No Sin in My Body’s Troy Keiper.
CR: I’m talking to the front man of There Is No Sin in My Body, Troy Keiper. So, what’s the origin of your band name?
TINSIMB: [silence, blank stare] I’m not sure how to answer that. Why are you lauging? read more…
Who Is There Is No Sin in My Body?
After years of migrating between indie rock bands and solo acoustic projects, There Is No Sin’s Troy Keiper spent 2008 recording a number of late-night studio sessions in four different locations. Lyrically, it seems like a concept album. Each song is tied together by the unfashioned performances, many of which are captured first takes.
Like vignettes, these songs often clock in at punk rock lengths; telling abstract parts of a story in two minutes. Listeners have likened the tracks to Iron & Wine, Elliott Smith, the Mountain Goats or Bright Eyes, but it’s not easy to pigeonhole this music. It’s a completely different beast.
Check out Margaret Lyon’s interview with Troy here. What makes it funny, is that they thought they could pull off the interview without humor. Didn’t work on that level, luckily it served for good entertainment.
Online Store News
Our online store for direct media and merchandise is ready to go. Bad news is that we’re waiting on the There Is No Sin in My Body CD, which will be out early June.
The pressing of the CD was delayed because of artwork issues with the printing. We chose to go with a newer CD format. It features larger pages and little plastic packaging, so it’ll be unique and fun to look at. Like a mini coffee table book.
Of course, we’ll have iTunes, Amazon, eMusic and Napster ready to go for the release as well.
There Is No Sin – New Tracks Next Week!
There will be two brand new tracks going up on There Is No Sin in My Body’s MySpace page next week. Possibly on the band site.
We’ll look forward to hosting some MP3s here too soon.
If you’d like to receive email updates on the CD as well as a ridiculous offer on the special edition retail CD, join our mailing list.
CD Release Coming – There Is No Sin in My Body
The new TINSIMB CD will be available in early May. Possibly June, but we’re pushing.
For band updates and a free MP3, go to the band’s official site.
Also, we’ll be running an ad campaign in May through MySpace to promote the release. Add your name to our mailing list if you’d like win something of amazingly useless value. Exactly what, we have no idea yet, but trust us…it will be useless.
Thanks!
