The Kora Records

Happy monday to you!  …and a lovely monday morning it is in the increasingly green corner of Brooklyn we call home (well half of us). All kinds of things are sprouting up… not the least of which are records!  The new Ramona Fall double LP Prophet is up in the store for pre order today.  We have been a fan of Brent from his band Menomena and solo debut as Ramona Falls and we could not be happier to bring you Prophet.  The record will be a nice gatefold double lp cut on to colored vinyl at 45 RPMs… cause well… we could and it sounds amazing!  The LPs will ship out in just over a month… when it reaches your door and record player I really hope you are as in love with it as we are.

In the mean time… that new Tone album Priorities is still hot off the press!  They will be doing more shows as the days warm up.  They should be hitting New York this summer so keep your eyes peeled.

There are 2 new vinyl releases in the kora shop, Prophet by Ramona Falls and Priorities by Tone. It marks our fist time working with both amazing bands, excited to have both of these artists working with us!

Fredrik heads to the Golden State of California next week to celebrate the release of their new remix EP, Ornament. The EP is out now via your favorite digital store.

Tour Dates:
Feb 12 | Bootleg Theater | Los Angeles
Feb 13 | Hotel Cafe | Los Angeles
Feb 15 | Subterranean Art House | Berkeley
Feb 16 | Hemlock Tavern | San Francisco

Ornament is a collection of remixes from Fredrik’s 2011 album FLORA along with the new instrumental track ‘Fever and Foam‘ that was originally intended to close side A of the FLORA vinyl a spot ultimately filled by the jumpier “North Greatern”. The EP features remixes by Portland-based ambient producer Eluvium,  Gregor Samsa (MAB III), and Swedish electronica composer Tobias Lilja. With its nods to the great horror movie soundtracks of the 70′s, the EP makes a dramatic and colorful addition to the Fredrik catalogue.

A quick pre-holiday hello from TKR HQ. We’re excited to be working with DC stalwarts and long-time friends, Tone, on their new album, “Priorities”, a vinyl release due out in early 2012. A couple of other projects are in the works for next year including a pretty rad collaboration that we’ll have details on in a couple of weeks. And those on the west coast, look for Fredrik to come your way for the very first time in just a few months.
