We are very happy to announce the release of the first Smile from Crystal Shipsss‘ debut album Yay. Crystal Shipsss is a relatively new project from our beloved songwriter Jacob Faurholt, who last year released the beautiful solo album Dark Hours. Faurholt has also played a long line of concerts, among them support slots for CocoRosie, Grizzly Bear and The Black Heart Procession. The single also includes the two non album tracks Scary Mountain and The Black ForestThe single will be released on April 9th in Europe (Raw Onion Records) and May 8th in North America (Three Ring Records) – the album Yay (10″ mint green vinyl) will follow in June / July. Yay has already had a limited cassette release on the Portuguese label Cakes and Tapes.

Tiny Island Teeth was written and recorded in Lizard kisses’s Brooklyn apartment during the summer of 2011. This is one of those minimalistic bedroom recording ventures we love so much. Cakes and Tapes is responsible for the physical release- a limited edition of 50 cassette tapes.

Tiny Island Teeth was recorded with a handful of LK’s artists and friends. Among them are: Charlotte Oleena, Ellen Johansing, Marie Clerel, Jordan Lee, Matt Dallow plus an accompanying cassette was self-released simultaneously with Tiny Island Teeth, titled Tooth Notes. Tooth Notes is a collection of demos for Tiny Island Teeth, recorded with one microphone straight to tape. You can listen to that Here
