Weathervane Music is a non-profit organization that create community funded projects to support and advance the careers of deserving independent musicians. They just release Volume 2, Episode 5 of their Shaking Through series – their music and video web series that documents “the birth of a song” by an emerging independent artist in a professional, high-end recording studio. The episode features NJ heroes Big Troubles (#26 in our 2010 Best of NYC Emerging Artists Poll). The song, “Phantom,” is the first full band recording since the album, Worry, and marks the first Big Troubles recording to be produced in a professional studio. Big Troubles will release “Phantom” as the B-side to the first single on their fall 2011 album produced by Mitch Easter (Pavement, R.E.M.), which will be licensed and released by Slumberland Records. The band will play the Bell House in Brooklyn, on May 20th and Maxwell’s in Hoboken on May 21st before leaving to tour Europe with Julian Lynch and Ducktails.
