ALONG WITH HER NEW COOKBOOK, "THE TERRIBLE HOSTESS: RECIPES FOR DISASTER VOL. II
There's MUCH to announce from Riot Act Media World HQ---the first thing I'm psyched to tell you about, however, is that Mint Records(home to the New Pornographers, Andrew WK, Lou Barlow, The Handsome Family and more) chanteuse Carolyn Mark (who is burning down the great Canadian highway right now, probably on her way to a festival somewhere!) just put the finishing touches on her new full-length, "Let's Just Stay Here". It's out on October 13th, along with her second cookbook, "The Terrible Hostess: Recipes For Disaster, Vol. II".
Carolyn doesn't like to hog the spotlight, so "Let's Just Stay Here" finds her teaming up with Toronto's Juno-nominated N.Q. Arbuckle for six Carolyn-penned numbers, three N.Q. songs and and handful of covers. Neko Case (Carolyn's counterpart in her other band, a superduo called Corn Sisters), asserts to Exclaim! that "she's the finest hostess ever", which we wholeheartedly believe. We are asserting to you that this is "her most rock-centric record ever".
A collection of slow burning torchlight country heartbreakers, roadhouse-style Johnny & June anthems & odes to the touring lifestyle, "Let's Just Stay Here" covers a lot of miles on the musical road map of touring excess.
Carolyn and N.Q. Arbuckle set their minds on creating this rock record together after a summer of touring Southern Alberta--not like AC/DC rock, more like Lucinda Williams/Wilco/Tom Petty rock. Carolyn lovingly calls it her "Rumours". We think you'll love it too, and want to note that Carolyn is perhaps one of the most hilarious, vivacious women you'll ever meet.
