The whole Dromedary family extends its most sincere condolences to the friends and family of Josh Silverman of Shirk Circus.

Josh created beautiful, emotional music with both Shirk Circus and The Dark Brothers. The two Shirk Circus records on the Bar/None label stand out as two of the greatest documents of 1990s indie rock, and the band’s reunion performance in October was a shining example of how great indie rock can be. He was a brilliant songwriter and a monster guitar player that could play tastefully in the background or knock you out with a blistering solo.

We are honored to have had the opportunity to know him, and wish him well on his journey.

We’ll miss you, Josh.

Over the past two years, the Scottish post-rock quartet Penguins Kill Polar Bears have taken their home country by storm, releasing a critically-hailed EP and developing a reputation as a devastating live act, touring the UK supporting the likes of The Twilight Sad, British Sea Power, and more. The Scottish music blog “Sound Surrounds”:http://soundsurrounds.blogspot.com/2010/12/end-of-year-awards-thingbest-live.html named them one of 2010’s best live bands, and the band’s debut EP, _Dawn_, was the #2 seller of 2010 at the Scottish indie music store Avalanche Records.

Now, we’re thrilled to add the band to the Dromedary family, making them our first international signing. We’re looking forward to introducing the band to North American indie rock fans by releasing their forthcoming EP, _Vessels & Veins_, this coming March. Available on CD and digital download, the North American version of the EP will contain six fantastic songs – four newly recorded masterpieces, plus two remixed and remastered tracks from the band’s 2010 debut.

We absolutely flipped when we heard this band, and we hope you’ll do the same.

To get a taste of _Vessels & Veins_, simply “click here to join our email list”:http://dromedaryrecords.fanbridge.com/ – we’ll give you a *FREE* download of the EP’s lead track, “Lungs.”
