|
Deep Elm Records will be releasing a Limited Edition 3x LP set pressed on Gold Vinyl for THE APPLESEED CAST's critically-acclaimed masterpiece Low Level Owl: Volumes 1 + 2 in connection with Big School Records, a Philadelphia-based indie established with the sole purpose of spreading diversity in music through the vinyl format. Currently in production in the Czech Republic, the Gold Limited Edition is the last and final vinyl edition of what Pitchfork called a "groundbreaking" album and will be limited to 1,000 copies. The double album was previously pressed on black, tri-color and silver vinyl. The most recent Silver Limited Edition sold out in 8 days. For reservation information, go to www.deepelm.com/396V. We anticipate shipping orders in early December.
• Triple Color Vinyl LP Set, Limited Edition Pressing of 1,000  Massive in approach and epic in scope, Low Level Owl is a vast soundscape that lives and breathes on its own. Nearly two hours in total length, it includes twenty-six beautifully orchestrated songs of lush melody, expertly paced dynamics and blossoming atmospherics. Pioneering post-rockers The Appleseed Cast give way to a more courageous exploration of sound and texture on Low Level Owl, experimenting with loops, echoes, instrumentation, inverting tape and changing speeds. They discover the sonic possibilities...the masterpiece in every measure. Each song nearly explodes at the seams, overflowing with symphonics, crescendos, swells of feedback and electronics. Listen to slowly building waves of guitars and drums that ultimately crest, bursting into the shimmering tears of honest men. Music like this is neither calculated nor deliberate. It just happens. It just exists. This is the music to dream to... "Low Level Owl is a supernova...a sprawling three-disc monster of meticulous conceptions crafted through endless hours of studio time. Overhauling their sound and incorporating a wide melange of styles, the technical execution throughout the album is flawless. Just the arrangement of the music alone shows the amount of thought that goes into an album of this size. There are hints of Stone Roses, My Bloody Valentine and Built to Spill - all embedded a lush wave of production reminiscent of the Flaming Lips, Spiritualized or Mogwai. With Low Level Owl, The Appleseed Cast establish their own unique vision for the future of rock, offering hope and brighter possibilities for the genre...or rather, creating their own. It's time to herald The Appleseed Cast for what they are: groundbreaking." - Pitchfork

Now with nearly 200 releases in its discography, fiercely independent Deep Elm Records continues to build a better label - one that operates for glory, not gold. We see our label being about people coming together, meeting, singing and sharing that experience with each other...those are the times that we remember forever. It's about the power of music and the bands that create it. Founded on respect for music and the creative process, a goal of discovering new artists and undying integrity in everything we do, Deep Elm strives to further its reputation as one of the world's most reliable sources of quality independent recordings. A small but dedicated team provide all label services on an in-house basis including worldwide promotion, marketing, licensing, publicity, design, internet-related operations and our hi-res digital download store (deepelmdigital.com). Deep Elm is responsible for seminal releases by The Appleseed Cast, Carly Comando, Moving Mountains, Nada Surf, Latterman, Benton Falls, 500 Miles To Memphis and most recently Accents, Athletics, Dorena, Moonlit Sailor, Our Lost Infantry, This Drama, The Lions Rampant and many more. Deep Elm is also known for its two multi-volume, exclusive compilation series: This Is Indie Rock and The Emo Diaries featuring Jimmy Eat World, Annuals, Further Seems Forever (featuring Chris Carraba of Dashboard Confessional), The Movielife, The Forecast and 200+ other incredible bands.
 Deep Elm is also recognized as one of the industry's premiere indie music licensing companies and has provided pre-cleared, cutting edge music to tastemakers worldwide from our catalog of 2,000+ original songs and instrumentals. Our music has appeared in feature films, indie films, movies trailers, TV commercials, TV shows, movie soundtracks, video games, trade shows and online promotional campaigns for clients including Apple Computers, Red Bull, Monster Energy, Microsoft, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, Chevrolet, Cartier, The NFL, Microsoft, Shimano, Philips 66, Vodafone, Rip Curl, NBC, Channel 4 UK, AMC's Mad Men, MTV, HBO, Vans, Sony Pictures, Nitro Circus, Mastercraft, Fox, Fuel TV, CBS, The CW, Planet Eclipse and more. In 2013, Deep Elm celebrates its 18 year anniversary as an independently owned and operated record label. Deep Elm is part of a threatened breed of "true independents" that exist for the love of music. Most so-called "indie labels" are, in fact, funded and distributed by major record labels and their affiliates. Not Deep Elm. On a completely self-sufficient basis and without outside support, Deep Elm competes in an industry dominated by corporate giants. We are proud to be 100% Independent. We put out the records that move us and support the bands we love. We survive on word of mouth. So if you are a fan, spread the word. And we'll make sure these bands will continue to be there when you need them. We're not just making music, we're making history...
