Luke Jackson's second UM release ...And Then Some will be our very first release on glorious half-speed mastered, 180-gram audiophile 12" vinyl, in a snazzy gatefold sleeve of naked children traipsing about Dunluce Castle... no, wait, that's Houses of the Holy. But we can assure you it has a photo of the world's most photogenic labrador retriever.

...And Then Some's lead-off single "Come Tomorrow" will be available as a fetching 7-inch vinyl single (also in a gatefold sleeve!) with a bonus DVD of the song's music video to boot. 

Both are released in association with Luke's own Popsicle Recordings, with whom we also released Favorita, the self-titled, posthumous debut album by the nineties Swedish pop phenoms of the same name.

No coincidence, then, that Favorita frontman Magnus Börjeson (of the much beloved Beagle and more recently Metro Jets) is the bassist on Luke's new record, which was recorded in Sweden with pop wünderkind Christoffer Lundquist...

Release date on both releases imminent.

Urban Myth is proud to announce digital reissues of O Glee and Mr. Fedora, two classic albums by celebrated Canadian songwriter/poet Jason Camlot.

Recorded in San Francisco and Montreal, and originally issued on cassette by Camlot's own Tonguespoon Music, O Glee (1994) and Mr. Fedora (1995) are two prime examples of Camlot's formidable songwriting and intense, compelling solo performance.

Jason will be reading from his new book of poetry The Debaucher (Insomniac Press) and performing songs old and new (accompanied by Kenny Smilovitch) at Pages bookstore/café in Montréal this Thursday, August 7th at 8pm.

Pages: 3255 rue Saint-Jacques at Atwater, Montréal.
