Jherek Bischoff's collaboration with David Byrne, 'Eyes', was originally released as a limited 7" for Record Store Day (we have a few left in our shop). A new video featuring the Talking Heads frontman has just been released via Pitchfork.tv, and you can also find some behind-the-scenes stills on Jherek's website.
To celebrate, we're making CD copies of Scores (Jherek's instrumental album) available for free with purchases of his Composed album on CD and vinyl, for a limited time. Click here for our shop.
In other news, Jherek has rejoined Amanda Palmer's band The Grand Theft Orchestra for her rescheduled European tour. The Seattle-based composer/arranger will be performing a solo set in support every night too. Jherek is also playing a couple of high profile New York shows this summer, including one premiering a piece he wrote for The Kronos Quartet. See all of the shows on our live page.

Sebastian Rochford's Polar Bear have spent the first part of the summer recording their new album which will see the light of day early next year. Those who have caught the group live in the last year will have some idea what to expect, although Seb is currently tight-lipped...
