A.M. Breakups Returns with Out of Four Came Many Soldiers Companion Album SOLDIER Featuring billy woods, k-the-i???, Vordul Mega & More (Reservoir Sound)



A.M. Breakups is a New Orleans/Utica/Brooklyn-based multi-media artists, Polaroid photographer, beat-twisting producer, and Chief Production Engineer at Reservoir Sound, who, also, frequently goes by Marris Mielnick, Palmer Eldritch, and sometimes, Rust Martin. A.M. has affiliations with Backwoodz Studioz, we are the karma kids, Uncommon Records, and notoriously reclusive emcee Despot. Since about 2006, A.M. Breakups has released a variety of self-produced projects on Reservoir Sound & Backwoodz Studioz, plus, as part of 11:00A.M. with MC Eleven and CULT FAVORITE with Armand Hammer & Nostrum Grocers emcee E L U C I D. Although, his last proper "studio" album was 2011's The Cant Resurrection on Backwoodz Studioz, Rust Martin has quietly been self-releasing a slew of collections on his personal Bandcamp page. Most recently and most notably, in our world, at least, A.M. Breakups has painstakingly compiled and re-released a collection of previously released beats, now heard for the first time in stripped down instrumental form for his ever-evolving Architecture compilation series. Architecture 1-3 feature A.M. Breakups beats and remix instrumentals previously produced for everyone from Backwoodz Studioz's billy woods to Wrecking Crew/ShrapKnel's PremRock.


Last year, between the releases of Architecture 2 | Icarus and Architecture 3 | Hubris, A.M. Breakups let loose his latest full-length containing 100% original previously unreleased material entitled Out of Four Came Many Soldiers. Just last night, we received a Bandcamp Notification email personally penned by A.M. Breakups himself announcing yet another collection of original material simply entitled Soldier, which seems to piggy-back off of Out of Four Came Many Soldiers. It appears as though Soldier features some of the same instrumentals from Out of Four Came Many Soldiers, as well as a handful of newly-composed beats, which have now been graced by a crew of A.M. Breakups' dexterous rhyming friends and affiliates; Soldiers boasts vocal assists from the likes of SKECH185, Vordul Mega (Cannibal Ox,) billy woods, MC Eleven, Shortrock, k-the-i???, Junclassic, DJ Zesto!, LoDeck, E L U C I D, TMFSE, Teddy Faley, Buddy Leroy & DistantStarr AKA SKXLXTOR, and MC K~Swift. Now, if that list of names doesn't convince you, I would strongly suggest heading over to A.M. Breakups' Bandcamp page and checking out Soldier. Below, you can read A.M. Breakups' full Bandcamp Notification email/SOLDIER "origin story" and stream Soldier on Bandcamp, Spotify, and other like-minded digital streaming platforms—complete with alternative artwork!—while you're at it.


"Hi, guys. So, I stay pretty secretive most of the time, but once in a while, I have to tell you what's going on. At midnight, I'm releasing a new album. It's beats I created for my instrumental album, Out of Four Came Many Soldiers (thank all of you for your support!) with some new instrumentals, and a lot of new rap...

Cannibal Ox has blessed my living room/recording studio. billy woods has blessed me. SKECH185 has blessed me. MC K~Swift. Junclassic from Monster Island Czars. Masai Bey, the original WeatherMan. k-the-i??? of the original Cambridge alternative scene. Komadose/NMS/TFD. TMFSE from SlangCorp/Smokers Cough. Teddy Faley. LoDeck, the trickster from Johnny23 came through. I could not be more thankful to have my favorite artists take the time to be a part of this collaborative operation.

I started off on this musical journey alone and eventually, I realized there were others equally dedicated to their specific crafts. I am so thankful that I've had the privilege to work with so many of my heroes on this project. SOLDIER drops at midnight on Bandcamp with an exclusive BONUS TRACK and will be available on all digital outlets within the week, featuring alternative artwork. Out of Four Came Many Soldiers.

All my love from The Big Easy,"

[W]reckless, Topless American Youth: Lana del Rey - "Born 2 Die" (Britney Spears Birthday 30)

Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra

3 Feet High & Rising: Band of Bearded Brothers Cellar Door Moon Crow Unleash Rollicking Single "Whistler" from Upcoming Blues Rock EP (Bandcamp, self-released)

Whistler by Cellar Door Moon Crow British Rock 2-piece band Cellar Door Moon Crow mysteriously found and Followed The Witzard (@SharpCheddar856) on Twitter a few months ago. Their Facebook About section simply lists a brief, yet fitting, mission statement: "Band ~ Beards ~ Brothers Goodwin brothers Phil & Tommy . Sheffield, UK " and their accompanying Biography section contains a similar refrain: "Band ^ Beards ^ Brothers," as well as their Bandcamp page. There really isn't much else to be known about twin brothers Phil & Tom Goodwin , aside from the fact that they make infectious, down and dirty Rock "N" Roll —all entirely written, recorded, produced, and mixed in-house by Cellar Door Moon Crow (CDMC) themselves. CDMC 's Bandcamp page often tags their musical output as " British Rock , Rock, Blues Rock , two-piece band, Sheffield " and I would best liken their sound to a stylistic mix between The Black Keys , Thir

"Let Me Shine for You:" Lindsay Lohan for Playboy (Winter 2011-12 Leak)

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age. This gradual rise-downfall was captured on film; Between 1998-2010, she portrayed a wide array of roles across the silver screen in movies including: Mean Girls, Bobby , Herbie Fully Loaded , Georgia Rule, Machete , and Freaky Friday . Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005). Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of
