William Tyler invited American Songwriter to The Stone Fox, the bar he runs with his sister, and played them a few songs from his new album Impossible Truth which is in stores now. Read their extended Q&A with him here as well.
Jenks Miller & Heather McEntire sat down with Russ Borris of WFUV in the shade of Hotel San Jose last week in Austin, TX for an acoustic version of “Bright Light,” and a chat. Watch the interview at YouTube, and order Miracle Temple now from the Merge Store or at your local independent record shop.
No, not from Merge. All the test pressings are being given away at our friendly neighborhood record store partners all over the country. If your record store isn’t listed here, we’re very sorry but we can’t afford to make 1,000 test pressings just so you can win. Count yourself lucky; you’re already winning by living in a community with a record store in it!
In any case, William Tyler’s new album, Impossible Truth, is out on Tuesday, March 19. You can find it wherever fine music is sold, but if you’re trying to get yourself an ultra-limited (only 10 made!) test pressing copy you can find one at each of the following record stores. You’ll have to ask them for specific details.

David Kilgour has given us a lovely winter surprise: a new video for “Diamond Mine” from his 2011 album with the Heavy Eights, Left by Soft.
Directed by Bridget Sutherland, the bright colors and pastoral imagery of the video will have you longing for the days of flip-flops and outdoor picnics under the trees!
