| Digital Online Store | 09/2008 | After months of work, Mush Records is pleased to present the newest addition to our website, the digital online store. All Digital Releases are DRM free 320 kbps mp3 files in a self-extracting zipped file. Our releases are available as complete albums only. No individual song downloads are available. We believe this is the best way to experience the music we release. Digital Releases can be downloaded one time only using a link sent to you in your order conformation email. A zipped folder will be downloaded to your computer's default download location (often your desktop). After extracting, you will have a folder named with the release catalog number. Inside of that folder are the mp3s for the downloaded release with all of the metadata and artwork already embedded in the files. Just add the files to whatever program you are using to play mp3s. Full length albums will sell for $7, EPs will sell for $3, and our 7" singles will sell for $2. Check back often in the next few weeks as more titles will be made available. Mush Records is happy to announce a new wrinkle in our digital store. From now on, when you purchase any piece of vinyl from the Mush Records Online Store, you will receive an email containing a link good for a free one-time download of the title you purchased. That's right. No need to buy a USB turntable or cut up tracks anymore. No need to hook your table up to a CD burner. From now on, all vinyl titles will be packaged with free corresponding downloads. |

| Bibio Delivers New LP, Vignetting The Compost, Plus An EP | 03/2008 | Mush Records' Black Country bard, Bibio, has completed work on his third full-length effort, Vignetting The Compost. The album will feel familiar to fans of Bibio's earlier work with its use of intricate layers of guitar work and delicious chunks of analog tape noise. Bibio continues to add vocals to his songs on this album, as he did on previous release Hand Cranked, and the effect is nothing short of stunning. In addition to the new full-length, Bibio has created a new EP entitled Ovals And Emeralds. Taking a different approach from his full-lengths, the overall sound on Ovals And Emeralds has a sonic reminiscence of old carnival and circus instruments. One imagines pump organs, calliopes, and player pianos which are achieved by manipulating his own array of instrumentation including flutes, recorders, pianos, a cavaquinho as well as unrecognizable tape loop collages, all treated in the signature Bibio method, giving them an etherial and often eerie quality. Both releases will be available in the middle of 2008. |

| Major Distribution Changes For Mush Records | 09/2007 | We are thrilled to announce that we've made some major distribution changes at Mush. Effective immediately, we will be exclusively distributed by SC Distribution, which is also home to the labels Secretly Canadian, Jagjaguwar, Dead Oceans, Asthmatic Kitty, K Records, Temporary Residence, and Tomlab, among others. In addition to selling direct to most mom-and-pop stores, SC Distribution utilizes ADA for much of its USA coverage, and a number of distributors outside of the USA. While some distribution outside of the USA will remain the same (for example, Differ-ant in France) the distribution for some territories will change over the next few months (keep checking back for more details). If you are a USA store, please contact your SC Distribution or ADA sales rep for more details. If you are a store outside of the USA and are not sure which distributor to contact in your country, please contact SC Distribution for an answer. Our digital distribution is now being handled by Digital Rights Agency (who have recently merged with The Orchard). This transition should be seamless and you will continue to be able to find our titles on all of the major download services including iTunes and eMusic. We have also taken the opportunity that the distribution switch has afforded us to continue dropping our list prices (for example, CDs are now listed at $11.99). This means that regardless of where you are picking up your Mush releases, they should be some of the most affordable in the store. Thanks to everyone for the continued support and special thanks to Revolver Distribution for being a great home for the last five years. |

Also, since the holidays are upon us, we're launching a special promotion that will run through Jan 1, 2007: BUY ANY COMBINATION OF MERCHANDISE FROM OUR STORE TOTALLING $30 OR MORE, AND RECEIVE A 30% DISCOUNT ON YOUR TOTAL ORDER. That means two CDs will cost you $20 ($10 each), but three will only cost you $21 ($30 with a 30% discount); one t-shirt will cost you $15, but two will only cost you $21 ($30 with a 30% discount). Prices do not include shipping, but since adding additional items only slightly increases the weight, the shipping per unit goes down the more you order (for example, shipping four CDs only costs you $0.15 more than shipping one CD). |
