Pre-order the record through Mt. Fuji now for shipping before the release date! The vinyl LP includes a compact disc of the full-length. The CD comes in limited edition packaging. Both the LP and CD packaging were printed and assembled by the band. Digital downloads will be available through all normal online retailers on the release date.

First to note is the newest full-length from Portland, OR’s dream-pop noisemakers, Point Juncture, WA. The band’s third full-length effort entitled “Handsome Orders” is slated for release on May 17th via Mt. Fuji. Handsome Orders was recorded and produced by the band over the winter months in the band’s newly built home studio. The new album is a tour de force of songwriting and production, showcasing an impressive blend of fuzzed out bliss, beautiful boy-girl harmonies, and sublime melody. Handsome orders should more than satiate the fans of their previous, critically acclaimed release “Heart to Elk.” It has been a few years and we’ve missed them too. Falling in love again never felt so good. The new record will be available digitally and on LP and CD with amazing artwork painstakingly handcrafted and assembled by the band.

Next up… from Austin, TX, Mt. Fuji is pleased to announce a single from the label’s newest signing, Follow That Bird. Fresh off their contribution to the Matador Records “Casual Victim Pile” compilation, Follow That Bird makes their Mt. Fuji debut with the “Wooden Bones” single. Wooden Bones, backed with “Antlers” will be available on 7″ vinyl and digitally. Matador Records big wig Gerard Cosloy aptly stated “Follow That Bird has been one of the best bands in the country for years now.” We couldn’t agree more. Follow That Bird mines dark and enchanting territory, with loud guitars, propulsive rhythm and earth shaking vocals from Lauren Green. Expect a full-length from Follow That Bird on Mt. Fuji later this year.

Last order of business comes from the newly christened Seattle 4-piece, Hounds of the Wild Hunt and their eponymous debut EP (digital only). Hounds of the Wild Hunt formerly recorded and perfromed as The Whoremoans. While their new name signifies a change in sound and direction, their punk spirit and anthemic song-writing chops have remained firmly intact. Mt. Fuji will be giving away their debut 4 song EP for free throughout the entire month of April through www.mtfujirecords.com, after that it will be available through all the normal online retailers starting May 17th. Hounds of the Wild Hunt are currently working on their debut full-length record which should be out later this year.

Stay tuned to www.mtfujirecords.com for more information regarding the upcoming releases and accompanying tour dates.

2011 is shaping up to be MUCH busier for us, and we couldn’t be happier about it. First on the list, we’re very thrilled to announce our newest signing from Austin, TX – Follow That Bird. The band is currently prepping a single that Mt. Fuji will release in early spring of 2011 and also booking tour dates along the western half of the US for February and March. Stay tuned here for all tour dates and information on their full-length record expected out later in 2011.

Next up comes news from 4 Seattle rock n’ roll troublemakers, Hounds of the Wild Hunt. You may remember these dapper gentlemen from their former outfit, The Whoremoans. The boys have laid their old moniker to rest and are continuing on, in no less of rock n’ roll fashion, as the Hounds. The band has culled together 4 songs from their transitional phase and Mt. Fuji will be releasing it in the form of a digital EP. But wait… there’s more. These 4 songs are slated to be given away for the cost of FREE throughout the month of February via the Mt. Fuji website. That’s right, for the cost of ZERO dollars, you’ll be able to download the band’s first effort, and let me tell you… it is worth at least 10 times as much. You’ll need to break your February hibernation love-making sleep, because come March 2011 we’ll be selling the EP through all of the normal digital channels. Stay tuned as Hounds of the Wild Hunt work on their first full-length album to follow later in the year.

Next up… Who loves a certain band from Portland, OR so much they want to marry them and release their records FOREVER? Mt. Fuji Records, that’s who!!! Team Fuji has had the pleasure of working with Portland’s very own Point Juncture, WA for a couple years now and we are thrilled to announce that PJWA is nearly finished with a brand new long player slated for a release in spring of 2011 on Mt. Fuji. FUCK YES! Victor has been sharing the band’s demos and mixes along the way, and we are nothing less than crap-your-pants ecstatic about it. The band is wrapping up their recording sessions and brainstorming on ideas for the coolest packaging ever. The tentative release date is scheduled for May of 2011 and we can’t wait! We’ll keep you posted here as release plans come together.

Last and certainly not least… a few of you have heard of a little band from Seattle called The Maldives, right? Mt. Fuji was fortunate enough to release their latest effort, Listen to the Thunder a little over a year ago. This larger than life rock n’ roll band is currently in the studio recording their follow up release which should see the light of day on Mt. Fuji Records in the warmer months of 2011. We are stoked! If you’ve been lucky enough to see the band live lately (Showbox in Seattle anyone?), you’ve been lucky enough to hear a few of the new songs from the upcoming album. The boys are meticulously working on the new recording and will not be playing shows for several months as they work towards completion of their next effort. It should be nothing short of amazing.

Thank you to everyone for your continued support of the label and all of our tremendous artists! Wishing all of you a happy and peaceful holiday season. Take care and see you next year!

Mt. Fuji Records
