This is really good. Kyp from TVOTR is in the band.

Never heard his solo stuff so that may be the best place to start, but eventually check out Green On Red.

Just FYI, Amie Street is a good place to get Hitchcock mp3's. I posted a thread about Amie Street a few months back but I don't think anybody responded. When an album is added to the site is starts as free and goes up in price as more people buy.

With the deal at Yep Roc is probably better to just get the CD's from there for only a little bit more but the two box sets are a good deal...Luminous Groove for $13.50 ($44.99 at Amazon Mp3) and I Wanna Go Backwards for $15.30 ($51.99 at Amazon Mp3).

If you like Hitchcock and Dylan, check out Robyn Sings for $3.00.

The Stereogum link in the first post has been updated to include:

UPDATE: We now have more details, including Corey Rusk's statement:

 

It is with great sadness that we are reporting some major changes here at Touch and Go Records. Many of you may not be aware, but for nearly 2 decades, Touch and Go has provided manufacturing and distribution services for a select yet diverse group of other important independent record labels. Titles from these other labels populate the shelves of our warehouse alongside the titles on our own two labels, Touch and Go Records, and Quarterstick Records.

Unfortunately, as much as we love all of these labels, the current state of the economy has reached the point where we can no longer afford to continue this lesser known, yet important part of Touch and Go's operations. Over the years, these labels have become part of our family, and it pains us to see them go. We wish them all the very best and we will be doing everything we can to help make the transition as easy as possible.

 

Touch and Go will be returning to its roots and focusing solely on being an independent record label. We'll be busy for a few months working closely with the departing labels and scaling our company to an appropriate smaller size after their departure. It is the end of a grand chapter in Touch and Go's history, but we also know that good things can come from new beginnings.

 

 

Additionally, the DailySwarm is reporting that "the entire label staff of 20 has been let go."

^^ Looks like there was a post between everybody and the camera that they all had to look around.

I really like "Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star", probably because it was the first of theirs I heard. It's not mentioned much when people take of their favorite SY records. Am I alone in liking it?
