Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. is a Detroit-based band composed of Daniel Zott and John Epstein, which are pictured in an oil painting to the left. This will serve as the album artwork for their debut LP, “It’s a Corporate World”. Here’s what Epstein said about the eclectic album: ‘It’s a Corporate World’ is really about two individuals existing in separate lives, and the ideas that can form or possibilities that can open up when one person starts to rely on another with a genuine sense of trust and mutual respect”.

Starting as a bedroom project between art students Thom Hill and Linda Jarvis, South London’s Echo Lake have barely reached the infancy of their musical careers. While still less than a year old, the band has started to make noise, garnering acclaim from Pitchfork and The Fader as a cross between pre-Sub Pop Beach House and a more raw My Bloody Valentine. Deciding to take some time off from art school, the band recorded their debut EP for label and blog No Pain In Pop, set for release February 14th (in the UK) and February 15th (in the US).

The Canadians, however, have already made the LP’s title track available to download over on Pitchfork. “Too Beautiful To Work” sounds deceivingly simple with Jessie Stein’s soft high-pitched voice but the music and lyrics form a never ending whirlwind of layers that make this title track really interesting.
