Deep Elm is one of my favorite indie labels going right now. I’m sure you have heard me rant about their albums and seen these obscure albums from Deep Elm in my year-end lists for the last couple of years. Deep Elm has just secured distribution through the infamous Southern Records group with the company of Touch & Go, Dischord and many others. This should prove to you the caliber of music we are dealing with here. With bands on their roster as diverse as Red Animal War, The Appleseed Cast (who have just signed with Tiger Style records out of New York), Slowride, David Singer, Brandtson, Logh, Desert City Soundtrack, and This Beautiful Mess, all who have provided songs for this sampler. There are many others included. In fact, this 19-track sampler is a great overview of what Deep Elm has been up to lately. MusicEmissions was giving away their last Sampler and received many comments on the quality of bands on the disc. This is the next installment and there are so many great songs on here. Pick it up to introduce yourself to a fantastic label that really defines indie music right now.
