FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

INDIGO GIRLS
=20
Poseidon And The Bitter Bug
March 24, IG Recordings/Vanguard Records
=20
The Indigo Girls launch their own imprint to release their first studio
album in 3 years=20
The release will contain 2 CDs - a full band version and acoustic disc
with a bonus track
=20
It's been two decades since the Indigo Girls launched their career with
their independently released debut album, 1987's Strange Fire. Now,
after entertaining millions of fans with their 10 major-label studio
albums (nine on Epic Records and one, 2006's Despite Our Differences, on
Hollywood Records), Emily Saliers and Amy Ray have come full circle with
the independent release of their new 2-CD album, Poseidon And The Bitter
Bug, on their new label IG Recordings, distributed through Vanguard
Records.
=20
The new album reunites the Grammy-winning duo with veteran producer,
arranger and keyboardist Mitchell Froom (Elvis Costello, Paul McCartney,
Los Lobos and others), who worked on the Indigo Girls' acclaimed 2006
release, Despite Our Differences. Longtime bassist Clare Kenny, drummer
Matt Chamberlin and engineer David Boucher make up the rest of the core
band but the sound is pure Indigo Girls, with uplifting, effortless
harmonies; honest, passionately involved lyrics and infectious melodies.
=20
"Mitchell was able to build a bridge between Emily's songs and my songs
more successfully than anyone we've worked with, says Ray, "he's a
musicians' musician and has a very clear idea of what will work." Adds
Saliers, "He likes Amy's music and he likes my music, which is not the
easiest thing to find because we are so different and our songs are
different."
=20
The album was recorded in Atlanta in a whirlwind three week session -
they wanted to keep a sense of spontaneity and discovery to the process.
And it's the songwriting that shines on Poseidon, with the duo exploring
new approaches to melody, harmonics and rhythm, especially on Saliers'
"Digging For Your Dream," which she says is "as close to R&B as I've
ever gotten," and Ray's "Sugar Tongue," a fevered meditation on
colonialism that finds her experimenting with her higher vocal range to
capture an innocence not commonly displayed by the fiery rocker.
=20
Says Saliers, "For a band like us, it might feel inauthentic if we tried
to branch out in some crazy way musically. That's why Amy makes solo
records, so she can do her own thing outside of what we do together. As
a unit, we do what we do and Mitchell just happens to bring the best out
of it. That's a good thing at this point in our career."
=20
One thing the Girls have done differently on Poseidon is include a
second CD that features acoustic versions of all the songs, plus a bonus
track, "Salty South." It's a chance for listeners to hear stripped
down, organic versions of the songs - just the Girls in a room with a
few mics - before the arrangements changed with the addition of the
band.
=20
With a Grammy, six Grammy nominations and a legacy of releases and tours
behind them, the Indigo Girls have outlasted many of their peers and
forged their own way in the music business. They've always thought
independently, and have always balanced their commitment to music and
performing with an unwavering commitment to social, political and
environmental issues - Ray and Saliers don't just talk the talk; they
walk the walk. In 1991, Ray and Saliers co-founded the non-profit
organization Honor the Earth to raise awareness and financial support
for indigenous environmental justice, and over the years they have
supported groups fighting for women's rights, civil rights for same-sex
couples, and the abolition of the death penalty as well as voter
registration.=20
=20
Now with their own imprint, the Girls have come full circle; they've
weathered the ups and downs of the music industry and come out with
their musical vision and enthusiasm intact.
=20
"I am overwhelmingly excited to be independent because it really is
where the heart of music sits for me," says Ray, "I don't have many
regrets about the major-label life of the band because we certainly got
a lot out of it. We were lucky enough to be on Epic when Pearl Jam and
Rage Against The Machine were our label-mates and the company was
developing bands with the intent of creating catalog artists. That has
all changed, and it's just not worth being on a major. It hasn't felt
worth it for a long time. Beyond that, it never fed my soul the way an
independent career can."=20
=20
"I feel a great sense of freedom in finally being rid of the major-label
world," Ray says. "It's been a burden for a while for me. I felt an
honesty and sincerity making Poseidon, because I fully believe in
independence." Saliers says, "It fees liberating and centering, even in
the midst of change."=20
=20
Poseidon And The Bitter Bug is the work of career artists at the top of
their artistic game, invigorated to be doing what they love best -
writing and performing music. With these two CDs, the Indigo Girls give
listeners an intimate look at their songwriting and how it's affected by
the recording process. Poseidon is a release that affirms their
position not only as musical icons but as artists who continue to live
up to the high standards they've set for themselves.
=20
Look for a spring and summer 2009 tour. Give a shout for more info or to
be serviced with this amazing release!
