Take Your TimeAfter releasing two critically acclaimed full-lengths (Nine Times That Same Song, A HundredThings Keep Me Up at Night) and several EPs on New York-based What’s Your Rupture?,Love Is All returned home to Gothenburg, Sweden after their spring 2009 tour with no recorddeal in place (and accordingly, no demands) to produce a new album. And so, the band membersdecided to take their time writing and recording and — gasp! — actually have a goodtime collaborating on the songs that would eventually comprise their third record:Two Thousand And Ten Injuries.The result is an eclectic collection of pop melodies, anchored by New Wave and punk rockrhythms, that are as refined as they are unpredictable. All told, Two Thousand And Ten Injuriessuccessfully manages to be Love Is All’s most adventurous, and dare we say, accessible,album yet.PRESS MENTIONSLove Is All’s boisterous clamor is the real draw here. The band skips over cerebral tricks andhep posturing, instead going straight for adrenalized kicks, and it’s a rush that lasts long afterthe record ends. ~ The Village VoiceLove Is All are a Swedish outfit and it was their last single, “Make Out Fall Out Make Up” thatfirst caught my ear… An exciting, three-minute dead, slab of pure pop noise, dominated byJosephine Olausson’s enthusiastic vocal and a wall of vibratoless sax, the best kind.~ David BowieFORHÅND 22.

The New SituationMOSE ALLISONTHE WAY OF THE WORLDAntiEPIT 705928714092705928MOSE ALLISON’s new album and ANTI- debut The Way of the World arrives March23rd, 2010, marking his return to the recording studio after a 12 year absence. Workingwith maverick producer JOE HENRY, ALLISON has found his most sympathetic settingin years, surrounded by young, vibrant players, who add surprising slide guitar andsome sinewy saxophone to the classic MOSE sound; The Way of the World also featuresMOSE’s first-ever duet with his daughter, singer AMY ALLISON. Yet this album is all MOSE,from the solo song Modest Proposal, a sly scalpel taken to organized religion, to themodernist, Monkish changes he takes the band through on the lone instrumental, Crush.ALLISON occupies a hallowed place in blues songwriting, sitting alongside DIXON and PERCYMAYFIELD in bringing a witty, urbane sensibility to the modern blues. Also well documentedis his sway over a generation of British rockers – most rock fans know THE WHO’s blisteringrun-through of Young Man’s Blues on Live at Leeds, but are less aware of MOSE’s influence onJOHN MAYALL, VAN MORRISON, RAY DAVIES, and THE YARDBIRDS, all the way throughto THE CLASH, who covered Look Here on Sandinista. Then there is that subtle, indefinablefact of MOSE’s voice, that laconic, laid-back singing style without which we would have noNORAH JONES, DIANA KRALL, BELLE AND SEBASTIAN, and SCHOOLHOUSE ROC. Notto mention ALLISON the respected pianist, with his nods to MONK and GARNER, and a slewof five-star Downbeat reviews in his piano bench. The Way of the World finds MOSE playingand writing with a new looseness, a playfulness and verve that belies his years, while behindthe offhand swing lies the weight of those years, in the slowburn vitriol of MOSE’s mind in fullgear. That canny blend of easy swing and lyrical incision makes The Way of the World aninstant classic, in MOSE’s or anyone else’s repertoire.Tuba Records AS - Karl Johansgt. 6 - 0154 Oslo - NorwayTlf: +47 2201 0000 Fax: +47 2201 0001 tuba@tubarec.com www.tubarec.comIX
