New releases now available:

* The Sales Department, Account EP (TQA007) - MD Matheson formed The Sales Department in 2006 after successfully leading Beef Terminal through a decade of analogue samples and guitar based core values. The main idea behind this project is portability. Making music with a computer and found sounds, without real instruments, wherever he may be. TSD could be found at home in Toronto or mixing on a plane during on his travels throughout Thailand & China! The results: Music made by computers operated by a human, reminescent of a comeback of Warp Records' IDM ambient artists such as Autechre, Plaid & Boards of Canada, with the transposed essence of Beef Terminal's soul.

* Apillow, Leaves Winter Alone EP (TQA008) - Apillow is Patrick Lacharité, the guitarist and sound engineer behind Below The Sea. After 3 critically acclaimed full-length albums on Where Are My Records, Patrick Lacharité finally releases a disc of his very own solo work. Apillow tinkers on an old lonely piano, scratches on his effected guitar and mixes it all up with computer-generated percussions to create imaginative and complex build-ups within the minimalism realm. This could be your perfect soundtrack for the current automnal season that you'd wish it never ends. "Leaves Winter Alone" is 4 tracks, also packaged in brown cardboard Arigato Pak, with drawings by Kit Malo, hand-printed by Patrick Lacharité in 5-color silkscreen process - all done with extra care & love.

As usual, both releases are limited to 200 physical copies.

Grab both of them at a special price (12$ shipped anywhere) for a limited time only. Order them together here!

* Thisquietarmy's Echotone EP will be released July 17th, on Chat Blanc Records. Two local Montreal CD launches are planned for the release. PART 1 will be July 15th at L'Absynthe, with Ghettonuns and Goldsword. PART 2 will be July 25th at Zoobizarre with CASPIAN & JUNIUS, both hailing from Boston.

* TQA Records website now features a small DISTRO section, mostly of CDs and projects that are related to the TQA Records family - available now is Millimetrik (Pascal Asselin from Le Chat Blanc Orchestra) and Ixe-13 (Mathieu Grisé from Le Chat Blanc Orchestra), and of course, the new Thisquietarmy EP on Chat Blanc Records. We also got a few 12" vinyl EP by Destroyalldreamers if anyone is interested, though it is a real pain to ship. Scroll to the right to check out the store!

19.06.2007

* You can now order the new release TQA006 by Electroluminescent, last release of the summer. 3 brand new tracks of wondeful psychedelic ambient running over half an hour, plus 2 remixes of classic Electroluminescent tracks by Elika & Millimetrik. Listen to the sample MP3. Read the release sheet for more info. To Order, go HERE, or HERE for Canadians.

* We are pleased to announce that the next release, TQA007 will be by The Sales Department. The Sales Department is MD Matheson. Yes, this is the same person behind Beef Terminal (Noise Factory). Mr. Matheson has hanged up his guitar indefinitely and has started to make music solely with computers - or as he puts it, "electronic music made by computers operated by humans". The early mixes on his myspace suggests that TSD is heading toward something pretty Boards of Canada-ish (which is very good in our books!) but the final result will only be heard this fall of 2007.
