About Suicide Squeeze Singles Series: In 1996, Suicide Squeeze began releasing 7-inch records as lifesblood, singles, mostly from Pacific NW bands appeared, documenting some of the most influential music of that time: Modest Mouse, Elliott Smith, 764-Hero, and Pedro the Lion: each played an important role. The label broadened its reach over the years (as well as its series of singles), continually releasing music by a diverse, yet select group of musicians, including Memoryhouse, JEFF the Brotherhood, Dirty Beaches, Bleached, The Melvins, of Montreal, HEALTH, Black Mountain, School of Seven Bells, and many more.

The Coathangers have premiered the “spunky” new song, “Smother” — from their forthcoming 7” split single with Davila 666 — via SPIN.com (see “First Spin” February 3). The limited edition single (500 black, 250 gold) will be available worldwide on April 17 via Suicide Squeeze. The single features “Smother” as the A-side and Davila 666’s “No Crees Que Ya Cansa” as the AA-side, along with artwork from Westin Glass of the Thermals.
The Coathangers have also scheduled a month long tour, which begins March 12 in New Orleans, LA at Siberia, and currently wraps up on April 7 in Nashville, TN at The End, and includes appearances at SXSW. For the March 21-April 7 dates, the band will co-headline with White Mystery. Full tour dates below.

Suicide Squeeze Records act This Will Destroy You are thrilled to announce the premiere of their new video for “Black Dunes” with SPIN.com (see video premiere Jan. 25). The clip was directed by Malcolm Elijah (Pure X “Surface”, “Easy”). SPIN says of the video, “Don’t watch this one alone. The deeply atmospheric video for This Will Destroy You’s creeping, explosive “Black Dunes,” from the instrumental post-rock quartet’s Tunnel Blanket, available now, is disturbing as all get out. The clip shows a young woman wandering through a forlorn empty house, ghostly apparitions, and eerie visual abstractions that seriously give us the creeps.”
This Will Destroy You will kick-off their late winter tour this Saturday, January 28 in Denton, TX at Dan’s Silverleaf and currently wraps up on February 18 in Houston, TX at Warehouse Live. The tour includes the February 9th appearance at Ecstatic Music Fest, held at the Merkin Concert Hall at Kaufman Center. The tour will also feature support from Mountains and Amen Dunes. The band This Will Destroy You will have more dates to announce shortly — current tour schedule below.
Recently, This Will Destroy You released the “Black Dunes” 7” for Suicide Squeeze ongoing singles series. The single featured the “Black Dunes (edit)” on the A-side and “Black Dunes (Holy Other’s Woman In The Dunes” mix on the B-side. The Fader premiered “Black Dunes (Holy Other’s Woman In The Dunes mix)”(October 6), and had this to say: “Maybe Holy Other felt that his remix of This Will Destroy You’s “Black Dunes” was so divorced from the original, that he needed to semi-retitle it. Or maybe he just went on a Hiroshi Teshigahara bender (c/o Criterion Collection)? Either way, we are with him on this one. He takes all the clashing bleakness of TWDY’s original, and inserts some feminine sensuality (in the form of a woman’s looping vocal ooh ooh ooh) into an equally brooding landscape.”
In other news, This Will Destroy You’s “The Mighty Rio Grande” (from the band’s self-titled second album) is prominently featured in the film and trailer for the Oscar nominated film Moneyball.

BLEACHED “SEARCHING THROUGH THE PAST” VIDEO // DIRECTED BY: MOLLY SCHIOT
Read Jennifer’s account below!
“We had to wake up at 4 a.m. to get to Santa Clarita by 5 a.m. for sunrise and got to see the eclipse on the way up. Originally we had wanted horses in the video so that’s why this spot was chosen. There was a graveyard there I had known about, but didn’t know if we would be able to get in it. We did by crossing a barbed wire fence and climbing a huge hill. When we got up there the gates swung open on their own. By the last shot my heel had completely broken off so I was balancing on one heel trying to make it look normal. My sister and I agreed that climbing over mountains in four-inch heels is the hardest workout we’ve ever had.”
