THIS WILL DESTROY YOU : SELF-TITLED CD IN STORES TODAY



"Since their first appearance, This Will Destroy You has continued to set itself apart by getting so right what so many other post-rock bands get so wrong. Their music, then and now, exhibits compassion, emotional complexity, stylistic innovation, and above all, sheer talent. While many groups think they can get by with just some expensive effects and simplistic melodies, these guys invest what seems like their entire souls into creating truly captivating instrumental passages. If there is any group today who can lead the post-rock genre to new heights, it is undoubtedly This Will Destroy You."
- Sonic Frontiers Magazine

"Chris King, Raymond Brown, Jeremy Galindo and Andrew Miller create floating sound areas and sound-panoramas that do not seem to come of this world."
- sweetjanemusic.com

"...we may already have been given the best post-rock album of 2008. While I don't have the time to go into every track on the album, there is genuinely not a single one that could be considered filler or a throwaway. This Will Destroy You has made the kind of album that deserves to be admired for years to come in their self-titled."
- For The Sound Webzine

"ALBUM OF THE MONTH"
- Rock Sound Magazine

You get the picture. Without a doubt, one of the biggest and most-publicly-anticipated albums we've ever released on Magic Bullet is now officially available in stores worldwide. Recorded by John Congleton (BLACK MOUNTAIN, EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY, MODEST MOUSE), THIS WILL DESTROY YOU's self-titled second album catches the band at a defining moment where they truly step out of every shadow and every comparison ever made of them and deliver 7 songs of genre-redefining brilliance. We're EXTREMELY proud of Chris, Jeremy, Ray, and Andrew for making this album and hope that you enjoy it just as well. You can pick it up in your local record store, online via our webstore, or digitally via iTunes.

All of our January new releases are now available via iTunes or whomever your preferred digital download supplier might be (eMusic, etc.). Please give them a visit to download the latest from THIS WILL DESTROY YOU, AUSTIN LUCAS, THE WAYWARD, NITRO TOKYO, and RATTLER.

On February 3 at Super Bowl XLII, Amazon and Pepsi are teaming up to launch a year-long campaign where the will be giving out a billion (yes, billion) "free" downloads. Presumably, the downloads will be doled out under caps of your favorite sugar-water. If you're a soft-drinker and receive any of these codes in 2008, we definitely encourage you to redeem them toward any and all Magic Bullet Records titles. While they're "free" to you, both the bands and the label will be receiving licensing royalties for every song -everybody wins.

Happy new year to you all.
