Label: Choose My Music Records
Choose My Music Records
has been one busy label this year, and now it must put an end to one of its
most successful series. The State Of Music
is a series started up way back in August 2011. With the intention to raise
£1,000 for Camden Calling, CMM wanted to reach the goal of finding one unsigned
or indie label artist from each of the 50 states of America, interview and release
their music on a compilation celebrating the music of their country.
15 Months later and CMM
has released The State Of Music Vol 5, the final volume of the series, and once
again it is a great collection of music. Featuring some melancholic sounds,
it’s as if the series knows it’s coming to a close and is trying to end on a
high note, while still giving the listener the poignant reminder that we won’t
be hearing from it again.
There are some brilliant
tracks included, such as the opening track Snake!
Snake! Snakes! By Outsider (Arizona), Oh My God by Michael Jordan Touchdown Pass (Vermont) and The Rubbish Zoo’s I Don’t Know Where I Go though the rest
of the material also give off a very distinct flavour of their respective
state. It’s a great way to close out what has been a wonderful series of music,
and Choose My Music Records has certainly created something worthy of being put
to rest.
I would also like to
congratulate Dom Paczko, who came up with the idea while doing the most mundane
of household chores. You’ve done something good buddy, and raised so much money
for Camden Calling, well done, you deserve every success you’ve gained.
The State Of Music Vol 5
will be released on Friday 9th November via Choose My Music Records,
and can be purchased physically on their website, or bought digitally through
Amazon, Bandcamp, iTunes, Spotify, and every other good retailer. You can also check out and
donate to the charity Camden Calling here too.
Thank you so much for all your support with this project. I am glad you have enjoyed it.
