THIS WEEK'S MAILOUT

On Repeat:

Tame Impala:

Currents was probably one of the most anticipated albums of 2015, and it has surpassed the hype. You can bet you’ll see this in our albums of the year!

Sleaford Mods:

Key Markets is Jason Williamson & Andre Fearn’s latest offering and is maybe a little more abstract than their other albums, but still deals heavily with the disorientation of modern existence.

Lianne La Havas:

After she finished touring her debut album, Lianne took some time out and visited Jamaica with her mum to meet long lost relatives. While she was there she started work on Blood her second album and you can hear those sunny chilled out Jamaican vibes throughout the album.

Ultimate Painting:

You must have heard us bang on about this band before, as we are super fans! Green Lanes just highlights why we love them. The licks and lyrics conjure up images of sixties California and seventies New York. So sit back relax and take a journey through time.

Maccabees:

Marks To Prove It sounds full of confidence as this is their fourth album, and have completely honed they’re sound and are happy with the direction the band is headed in.

===========================================================================

Can’t Wait For:

Julia Holter:

She has to be one of if not our favourite female solo artist, so suffice to say when Have You In My Wilderness was announced we got more than a little giddy. Have You in My Wilderness is also Holter’s most sonically intimate album, with her vocals front and centre in the mix, lifted out of the layers of smeared, hazy effects. The result is striking: clear and vivid, but disarmingly personal. Listen to the lead single here.

Dornik:

His self titled debut album is likely to slip under most people’s radar but is definitely worth a listen especially if you are a Frank Ocean fan.

Mac Demarco:

Everyone’s favourite goofball is releasing a mini-LP, Another One. Recorded entirely by himself in a short period of time between relentless tour schedule. If it’s anything like 2 and Salad Days you know is going to be fantastic!

Kurt Vile:

Have you heard Pretty Pimpin’? It’s an instant hit, and the first single from his sixth studio album B’lieve I’m Going Down. This is what Kim Gordon had to say: “Kurt does his own myth-making; a boy/man with an old soul voice in the age of digital everything becoming something else, which is why this focused, brilliantly clear and seemingly candid record is a breath of fresh air. Recorded and mixed in a number of locations, including Los Angeles and Joshua tree, b’lieve i'm goin down… is a handshake across the country, east to west coast, thru the dustbowl history (“valley of ashes”) of woody honest strait forward talk Guthrie, and a cali canyon dead still nite floating in a nearly waterless landscape. The record is all air, weightless, bodyless, but grounded in convincing authenticity, in the best version of a singer songwriter upcycling.” Couldn’t have said it better ourselves.

Richard Hawley:

Hollow Meadows is his eighth studio album, and see’s Hawley return to the classic, sophisticated song writing and subtle arrangements that made him so widely loved & revered in the first place.

===========================================================================

In-store Events:

We have Nottingham Alt-Rockers Kagoule joining us in our Bristol store on the 10 of August at 6pm to promote the release of their debut album Urth. This is a FREE show so just come along for full information check here.

On the 26th of August Bohicas will playing the Bristol store to celebrate the release of their album The Making Of. This event is a wrist band only event to get two wrist bands to pre-order The Making Of.

TASCHEN BOOKS: TREAT YOUR ARTY SIDE

In the year 1980, an entrepreneurial-minded eighteen-year-old opened a comic book shop in his native Cologne to sell and trade from his massive collection. Within a year he was publishing catalogs promoting his wares, and then in 1984 a breakthrough occurred: he purchased 40,000 remainder copies of a René Magritte book with text only in English, reselling them for a fraction of their original price. The success of this daring move proved that he was not alone in thinking that the art-book market needed to be democratized. Why should cultural enlightenment be reserved for the wealthy? Soon he began reprinting books under his own name for budget prices and the next year he published his first original art book,Picasso.

Starting in the late 1980s, his company established subsidiaries around the world and continued to cement its reputation as a publisher of excellent-value art books while branching out into new areas such as architecture, design, photography, lifestyle, and classics. The young man's name was, of course, Benedikt Taschen, and under his leadership the TASCHEN brand has grown into one of the most successful and unique publishers in the global market, distributed worldwide in over twenty languages.

In 1999, TASCHEN entered a new era with the first of many oversized limited editions, Helmut Newton'sSUMO(copy #1, signed by over 80 celebrities featured in it, fetched over $320,000 at auction and set the world record for the most expensive book published in the 20th century). Since then, we at TASCHEN have continued on our mission to enrich the world of books by offering a colorful variety of lavish limited editions, affordable titles, and now even e-books, with choices for many tastes and budgets.

Our 25th Anniversary collection, launched in 2005, was so successful that it has been extended past our 30th anniversary. An ever-growing number of TASCHEN stores worldwide has helped us establish a direct relationship with our readers, giving anyone and everyone a place to come and discover our universe of books.

TASCHEN has, with your help, become a household name. Dear readers, without whom we would be nothing: count on TASCHEN to lead the way to a more diverse, tolerant, and enlightened future!
