I just found out that our amazing intern, Sharon Van Etten (who you can hear here: http://myspace.com/sharonvanetten ) has been using the waste of cardboard that we get in when we order stamps from the USPS to make her CD covers for her record, which was recorded, by the way, by none other than Ba Da Bing's special and own Greg Weeks. Not only that, but she's been using the bags our lunch bagels come in! Al Gore is on the horn, and he wants to order four Devon Williams CDs for his family.

New Ba Da Bing artist!
Benjamin Wetherill's debut album, Laura, hits the streets July 15th, so keep a watchful eye out for it. Produced by Jeremy Barnes of A Hawk and a Hacksaw, the album combines Benjamin's intimately delicate folk songs with Barnes' Hun Hungar Ensemble of Hungarian musicians, who add light touches and small accents to the songs. As an added bonus, it was recorded in a castle in Budapest! For all you castle fans out there...

New Essie Jain and Devon Williams albums in stores!
Essie Jain's second album is a revelation in it's seeming ease. Sparse, but lush orchestration backs up beautifully arranged ballads, with Essie's honey-with-a-touch-of-dirt voice singing over it all. Listen to "Eavesdrop" - first song, and if you don't feel the sweep of emotion, then maybe you're not alive.
Devon Williams’ debut album has a melodic complexity that belies its immediacy, and descends from a lineage of great music generally and unjustifiably overlooked today. Those yearning for a return to intelligent pop music – songs as gratifying on their 1,963th listen as they are memorable after their first – need look no further.

Devon Williams Leaves For Tour Today!
You know what's awesome? Devon Williams playing live. You know what's awesomer? It's going to be happening a whole lot in the near and far future. You know what's awesomest? He's playing shows with Destroyer and Beirut. Yes, Ba Da Bing has managed in the past couple years to reach the point where bands actually go on tour around their album release, and Devon is celebrating (straight-edge style, most assuredly) the impending release of his album Carefree next week. Tonight, it's Visalia, and he's going to Vancouver, San Diego, San Francisco, Portland....hell, he's going to Edmonton! Will you please give this boy a hand?
