New music video from Strange Famous Records’ own Sage Francis. The song is called “Best of Times” and is off his recently released album, Li(f)e. Check out the video above, and go buy this release!!!
“Best of Times” is the second single from the new Sage Francis album, LI(F)E. Co-written by Sage and French composer Yann Tiersen, who is best known for the Amelie soundtrack, with Brian Deck, who has worked with Iron & Wine and Modest Mouse, tackling production duties. Check out the brand new video directed by Kyle Harbaugh (“Earthmovers”)!
New Sage Francis album drops May 11th, 2010! He is also going on tour, so catch him in your area if you get a chance.
THE MUSIC
Musically Li(f)e is refreshingly unique. Francis’ biting and sardonic wordplay now further empowered by talented musicians including producer Brian Deck (Modest Mouse, Iron and Wine) and Jim Becker and Tim Rutili of acclaimed Chicago outfit Califone.
Francis has also enlisted a roster of uniquely talented songwriters including ex Grandaddy frontman Jason Lytle, Chris Walla of Death Cab for Cutie, Tim Fite, members of Calexico, DeVotchKa, and Mark Linkous of Sparklehorse – each of whose compositions were then interpreted by Francis and the band. The result is a challenging and defiantly honest new album from an ever evolving artist.
THE TOUR
Sage Francis will be performing songs from Li(f)e at the upcoming South By Southwest Festival on Tuesday March 18 at The Independent, 501 Studios, 501 Brushy Street at 12:30 am.
Francis will then be embarking on a North American tour beginning with B. Dolan and Free Moral Agents starting this May.
Catch Sage Francis in Calgary @ The Distillery on Saturday, May 29th!!!
Howdy! Its Mr. Kyle Oborne here bringing you my first of many posts of the dope we like to call Hip Hop here at the Hideout.
March 2, 2010 B. Dolan from Strange Famous Records (Sage Francis, Buck 65, Alias,etc.) released his brand new Lp ” Fallen House, Sunken City” produced completely by Alias. I’ve got two songs for y’ all. First is the single “Earthmovers”.
While cleaning out the 2009 SFR vault we came across this 1,000 bar marathon between Mac Lethal & B. Dolan called “Free Floating Hostility.” This is a whimsical, blackberry-freestyle type track that isn’t attached to any project so we figured we should kick off the new year by releasing it as a free download right now. B. Dolan is currently touring the North West with Sleep of Oldominion & Cecil Otter of Doomtree. His Fallen House, Sunken City album with Alias will be released on March 2nd, 2010. Oh yeah, and we can thank Drake for the term “blackberry-freestyle. -SFR”
WOW! Mac goes in hard on this one. B. Dolan does his thing aswell. This track is straight fire!! Don’t sleep on it, check it out below.
This track is from last year but, considering the time and considering my mood, I feel it is right to post it today. Sorry about the lack of updates over the weekend, just haven’t had much motivation lately.
