Aquarelle will soon be embarking on a two week tour with Hometapes recording artists All Tiny Creatures which features members of Collections of Colonies of Bees and Volcano Choir.  Ryan Potts, the sole member of Aquarelle, will also be contributing to All Tiny Creatures' live set to round out the quintent.  All dates are listed on the poster above and available here.

Rest + Noise is proud to announce its fourth release: 'Repetition for a Motion' by Oriel.  The album features a wide array of sounds, textures, and songs where folk-based music moves into intricate and layered experimental territory.  The release show, replete with a headlining Zoo Animal set, will take place on August 21st at the 501 Club in Minneapolis, MN, with the album formally available August 24th. Hear the opening track and more here.

Zoo Animal now has screen printed shirts available in three different colors as well as their spectacular debut album, 'Young Blood,' on sale at their website.

Fat Man Touring, operating out of Washington, DC, has now aligned with Aquarelle and will be booking his forthcoming tours.  Visit the page at the Fat Man site for more information.

Rest + Noise is proud to announce the label’s distribution to different parts of the world:
Experimedia (US) 
Norman (UK / Europe, with both albums receiving a 4 out of 5 rating)
P*Dis (Japan)
  
Both the Zoo Animal and Aquarelle releases are either available now or will be very shortly at all three. 

Conversely, Northern Howl’s debut album is on the verge of selling out its run of 500 and will only be diminished by the band’s month long tour that begins July 1st.  All shows are fully updated and be sure to grab the release here before they are gone. 

Zoo Animal continues their run of great live shows at a variety of venues with their show in Northfield, Minnesota, at The Contented Cow.  Again, check out the events page for all upcoming shows.

Zoo Animal's sophomore album is now available to purchase and will ship immediately.  'Zoo Animal' is now on iTunes as well.  The trio debuted their new album by playing it in its entirety last friday at the 7th Street Entry in Minneapolis, Minnesota, to glorious effect.  Earlier in the day the band was featured on Minnesota Public Radio's All Things Considered which can be heard/read here.   

Chris Roberts, the story's writer, cited the band's minimalist, refined style in correctly proclaiming that, "It doesn't take long for Zoo Animal songs to achieve a kind of spiritual catharsis."

Zoo Animal's website has also been redesigned and redirected to a page that looks very similar to the one you're currently on.  View it here.
