GIGANTIC: A TRIBUTE TO KIM DEAL
This tribute was a pure labor of love for us and features indie-rockers from all over the globe covering Kim's impressive body of work. Songs Kim’s written for The Breeders and The Amps are covered with utter reverence here. Liner notes by Tanya Donelly, mastered by Sean Glonek (Frank Black, OK Go, Kristin Hersh, Dresden Dolls, Mogwai), limited-edition pressing. Buy your copy today!

"A welcome tribute to one of the true icons of American music.” - PopMatters

“I hope Deal (and her fans) like the final product as much as I do.” - The Big Takeover

“ It's the lack of an all-star roster that makes this tribute a fine testament to how the spirit of rock n’ roll's coolest woman can launch a tiny seed of inspiration that grows into something bigger and better — gigantic, even.” - Venus Zine

THANK YOU NEW YORK!!!
We want to thank all of you who turned-out for the Joe’s Pub event in NYC to celebrate the release of Sing Me To Sleep. It was a fantastic afternoon of music and we had a blast! We’ve posted pictures here.
