KYLESA Phillip Cope, Laura Pleasants and Carl McGinley II will launch Retro Futurist Records next month with the January 28 release of Canadian prog trio SIERRA's album "Pslip". "The idea behind Retro Futurist Records is to provide an artist-friendly home to bands we like and bands we feel are relevant in aesthetic, sound, concept and/or ethics," explained Pleasants. The first release to come from the Savannah-based label is a vinyl release of SIERRA's debut album, "Pslip". The effort was produced by Cope and recently described by Caught In The Carousel as "so wrought with high-octane power, crunching riffs, catchy melodies, and good old-fashioned rock and roll that you'll want to hear it over and over again." The Kitchener prog trio SIERRA will join KYLESA for a leg of the band's European tour (Jan. 19 to Feb. 2). Retro Futurist is offering music lovers a six-month vinyl subscription series, which includes SIERRA's aforementioned release as well as original albums from JAGGED VISION, DARKENTRIES, WET SOCKS as well as subscriber-only collectibles, including a KYLESA seven-inch single (hand-printed and numbered), a Retro Futurist t-shirt by Santos as well as a mystery seven-inch. More information is available here. Future Retro Futurist releases (available LP/digital): * JAGGED VISION's "Harvest Earth" - February 25, 2014 * DARKENTRIES' "The Make Believe" - March 25, 2014 * WET SOCKS' as-yet-untitled album - April 29, 2014
