Sofia, Melanie, Amanda, and August von Trapp are the actual great-grandchildren of Baron & Maria von Trapp, made famous by the 1965 film The Sound of Music.

Drawn into the magical orbit of Thomas Lauderdale, they now live together in a house in Portland, Oregon and have been frequent guest performers with Pink Martini for the past two years. This delightful new collaboration features Pink Martini’s beloved “little orchestra” fronted by the beautiful crystalline four-part harmonies of the singing siblings, traveling through a wonderland of Lauderdale’s brilliant arrangements.

London’s Booze & Glory suffer no curiosity towards anything but their tried & true brand of hook-laden, oi! rock ‘n’ roll. They herald their love of their favorite football team, West Ham United. They recant tales of pub sessions with good friends and cold booze, and the struggles of being a drinking man on a working man’s wage. And they tell the stories of friends gone wrong and life gone astray. Influenced by their English forefathers such as The Cockney Rejects, The Business, and The 4-Skins, Booze & Glory are poised to charge forward as the primary contemporary carriers of the British Oi! torch. Having already laid their claim to the European territory through years of hard touring and strong festival appearances, Booze & Glory are now ready to make themselves known in the U.S., and Sailor’s Grave Records is honored to welcome the boys to the fold.

Led by bassist Jason Ajemian (Devendra Banhart, Chicago Underground Trio), HighLife radiates free-wheeling energy. Ajemian’s poems serve as signposts; the scores, created in the architectural drafting program AutoCAD, guide the musicians through musical hallways to unexpected locales, leading them through a unique musical landscape of American folk forms, Native American chants, and Canadian sea shanties. The end result is this album, fearless and thoughtful, with free improvisations that follow a unique dreamlike logic.

NIHIL is the second album for Cyclic Law from Bulgaria’s Shrine. Completed in September 2013 in commemoration of the group’s 10-year anniversary, the album brings together seven tracks composed over the last five years.

These piano pieces do not only include playing the ordinary way, but also utilize rather unusual sounds from inside the piano, like plucking and beating the strings, bowing them with nylon guitar strings, and creating beats on the cast iron frame.

Federico Albanese is a composer born in Milan, Italy in 1982, currently based in Berlin. His musical versatility is a natural gift that pushes him to explore music in all its facets. Albanese’s compositions are airy and cinematic, blending classical music, electronics, and psychedelia. Here, he melts his rarefied piano sound with electronics, strings, and homemade instruments, and the result is a combination of contrasts and colors with a variety of atmospheres.

Mima is the third album on Denovali Records from London-based musician Oliver Barrett, a.k.a. Petrels. Following his highly praised debut Haeligewielle and sophomore album Onkalo, Mima is a further development and distillation of the distinctive sonic palette and inquisitive approach that have come to characterize Petrels so far. Building on retro-futuristic themes and delving deeper into ideas that lie between the twin poles of faith and uncertainty, this is another immersive sonic landscape from Petrels — more interested in posing questions than providing easy answers.

Recently named one of “Five Drummers Whose Time Is Now” by the New York Times, Dan Weiss is one of the most in-demand musicians on the jazz scene, performing with Rudresh Mahanthappa, Miguel Zenon, Lee Konitz, and Dave Binney, among many others. He has been a student of the tabla under his guru Pandit Samir Chatterjee for almost 20 years. Fourteen is an ambitious work that combines all his myriad influences: it features original compositions for a 14-piece ensemble with guitars, horns, voices, harp, percussion, and organ that is an indescribable amalgam of Indian beat cycles, jazz improvisation, extreme metal, minimalism, Ennio Morricone’s film music, and prog rock, all compounded into a personal outpouring of expression completely beyond musical boundaries. Intended to be listened to in full — its seven parts flow without pause — the tracks alternate between ghostly beauty and brutal workouts, by turns intense, cathartic, and transcendent.

“Weiss is arguably unique among today’s jazz drummers, transposing ideas from his tabla study to the drum kit.”

Combichrist returns with an all-new album and an all-new positive outlook! On We Love You, Andy LaPlegua and his merry band of loveable scamps have traded the nihilistic vitriol of Making Monsters for a shiny new perspective. Why, in the opening track “We Were Made to Love You,” Combichrist kicks things off by saying “please, don’t forget … We Love You”! See? They love us! Granted, it’s followed by the words “now die” … and thus begins the bone-crunching, anthemic opening song. OK. Who are we kidding? This is Combichrist. And the new album, We Love You, is Combichrist turned up way past ten. Everything is farther, faster, and darker. There are more guitars, more pounding drums, heavier electronics, further experimentation, lots more anger … and it’s tons more fun. C’mon, maggots, join the party.

Twenty years removed from her first high school band and 12 years after her first album for Teen-Beat Records, Tracy Shedd has moved from her slowcore/shoegaze foundation to record a fully acoustic album.

THE NEW YORKER: “First-person narratives supported by music with sounds from jazz, hip-hop, and chamber music. Sometimes Holding It Down uses all of these traditions at once; the cumulative power of the piece launches it into a realm normally cleared for élite contemporary oratorio — not all that different from, say, a socially engaged Peter Sellars staging of a John Adams or Kaija Saariaho composition.”

ALL MUSIC GUIDE: “This collection is more eclectic in mood and sound than 2009’s Splendor in the Grass, which was fittingly romantic but focused more on the light pop aspect of their sound … gives equal time to their tender and playful sides … Get Happy also marks the recording debut of new Pink Martini vocalist Storm Large, whose smoky tones make an elegant contrast to longtime singer China Forbes’ sparkling vocals.” THE GUARDIAN: “Pink Martini are a delight, with their fusion of glamour, classy musicianship, and songs from around the world. It’s a formula that has brought them international success, and it depends largely on the enthusiasm and versatility of singer China Forbes. The band’s new material is as varied as anything they have done, with songs in German, Spanish, Japanese and Turkish, ranging in style from jazz to easy listening.”
