El Perro Del Mar's second album "From The Valley To The Stars" is a 16-song opus, chock full of non-traditional folk songs that explore the world at large. She's joined at times on the record by members of the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra and the Gothenburg Symphonic Choir.
Anna Ternheim, one of the most appreciated and accomplished Swedish solo female artists, just released her US album debut "Halfway to Fivepoints" on Decca Records. Both artists play the Triple Door along with Lykke Li later that night.

MATES OF STATE
free live in-store

Ballard Store
add to calendar
Mates Of State's new album "re-arrange us" will be out May 20. On it they move beyond these boundaries (their traditional organ sound is a distant memory, replaced with organic piano and synth sounds) with additional instrumentation — not to mention a quantum leap in songcraft apparent on instantly indelible gems like now, jigsaw and get better. Throughout re-arrange us, Kori's piano and the emergence of both Mates' lead vocals from their trademark harmonizing signal the next stage of Mates of State's evolution.
Boom Across The World

For years, we here at Sonic Boom Records have been referring to ourselves as a "world renowned record shop." Now we want to prove it and only you, the faithful consumer, can help us do it. That's why we are asking you to send in pictures of yourselves or your music-loving friends sporting our fashionable t-shirts in exotic locales. The pyramids! Atlantis! The Great Wall of China! Disney World! The polar ice caps! If you are somewhere exciting and wearing your Sonic Boom gear then we want to see it! The best pictures will be featured on our website in new "Boom Across the World" section along with hot pictures of famous rockers flying the Sonic Boom flag. Internet-fame is only a photograph away!
