It'll include some lovely linernotes and awesome bonustracks. We've heard some of the remastered tracks, and they sound AMAZING. Hard to believe they were just teenagers when they wrote and recorded this album. Exact date will be posted soon.the SellOut!

The album will be produced by Kenneth Ishak who also produced the ridiculously good Blacks On Blondes EP, so it'll probably be pretty damn amazing. The album will be released early next year and it will probably be one of your favourite records of 2009.<br />Great songs, great band and a great producer.the SellOut!

This release is a tribute to the lovely indie-pop scene in Oslo, and we think this is a great idea. Why didn't we think of it first?<br /><br />Anyways, let's get to tha point.<br />Hiawata! has been given the honour of closing the CD with their anthem "Dylan MacKay" which also can be found on their debut mini album <span style="font-style: italic;">They Could Have Been Bigger Than Hiawata!</span> (which was released by US, your favourite sellouts).<br /><br />You can listen to some tracks from the compilation and read about it <a href="http://www.myspace.com/poposlo">here</a>.the SellOut!

They finished up the recording and mixing in February and it was mastered yesterday. It sounds amazing. Hits all over the place and lots of guest appearances by Kenneth on backing vocals and lead guitar. Kenneth does a mean j.mascis impersonation here!<br /><br />So when will this 5-track wonder be out, and when can you hear some tracks? Well, we'll upload some tracks to our myspace when we've got the cover art, and we're aiming for a May release. There'll probably be some shows around that time as well.<br /><br />If you're wondering what Hiawata! looks like when they play live you can check out this lovely photo from a show they played in Bergen last week or so.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.sellout-music.net/uploaded_images/Hiawata1-712802.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://www.sellout-music.net/uploaded_images/Hiawata1-712708.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>the SellOut!

And do you know what that means? Well, more frequent updates! Gotta love that!<br /><br />We've also added a blog, but for now it's a Norwegian blog. I hope that's ok.<br /><br />Anyways.<br />The website isn't entirely finished. There's still a couple of sections that are under construction, but we're getting closer and closer and closer and closer and....you know. Closer.<br /><br />More news on actual label activities soon!the SellOut! Music Crewnoreply@blogger.com
