I finally got a promo of this the other day and have been listening to it a lot. Pitchfork likes it too… and they actually made me lol irl for the first time in a long time with this line from the review: “…the gorgeous “Put Me to Sleep”, which seems tailor-made to soundtrack a scene where Carey Mulligan is sad in some major metropolitan city.” Nice job P4K!
Head over to The Wall Street Journal (??) to listen to “California”, a song from the upcoming Delta Spirit album produced by Chris Coady this past July and August. Listen here.
Been excited about this ever since I saw Porcelain Raft play one song ( I got there late!) at the Secretly Canadian / Dead Oceans / Jagjaguwar showcase at CMJ. Our Chris Coady mixed it and you can now listen to the whole dang thing over here at Secretly Canadian. Enjoy!
Not a bad showing this year! Congratulations to Chris Coady and Eric Broucek for their work with Gang Gang Dance, Cold Cave, Eleanor Friedberger, Holy Ghost! and Smith Westerns. Pitchfork and NPR like you guys, they really, really like you guys.

Chris Coady spent a good chunk of last December mixing “Mountaintops” at Sountracks here in NYC. Pitchfork gave it a solid 7.1 today, calling it a “return to form”. Check out the full review here.
The current issue of i-D features an interview by our Chris Coady. Click the photo for an enlarged version.
It took P4k a while to review this one. Generally that’s not a good sign, but “Cult of Youth” ended up getting a solid review. Chris recorded this way back in June and July of 2010 at the Magic Shop here in NYC. Check out the review here.
