Tonight's WTF Preshow features the new EP from Charlotte Martin, entitled "Veins". Charlotte is a jack-of-all-trades in the music industry, writing, singing, producing, and playing instruments on all of her songs. She's also extremely loyal to her fans, having passed on large record contracts because she had already promised EPs to her fans; EPs that would have to be cancelled to work on the contract. She now has a lucrative deal with RCA that allows her to put out full-scale commercial releases, as well as smaller productions just for her fans. "Veins" is her most recent EP.

Re: The Tree of musicians:
Ken Andrews toured with her, and helped produce this EP!  (and it's available through CDBaby!)

Charlotte co-produced the EP with the respected Ken Andrews (Pete Yorn, Year of the Rabbit). Luring background vocals by Beth Katte compliment the layered elements of "Veins." Cellist Emily Wright (Ben Harper, Abandoned Pools) appears on "Days of the Week," bassist Justin Meldal-Johnsen (Beck, Macy Gray) joins Charlotte on "Under the Gravel Skies" and drummer Joey Waronker (REM, The Eels) emerges on "Root."

For those that don't know Ken Andrews, check out the link. Anyone who hasn't heard Failure's Fantastic Planet, or anything else by Failure (his old rock band), should. Period. Maybe I should re-state that... anyone who is a sci-fi fan or a concept record fan, that hasn't heard Fantastic Planet, or own Fantastic Planet, should.

In another good category, Abandoned Pools is very good too... Humanistic is a great record...

RCA, as a label, is known to be very flexible with their artists. For more on that, check out a band called Hum. They were able to release short vinyl runs through their own record label (Martians Go Home), of the same album RCA released (Downward is Heavenward), at the same time. No other major record label would have allowed that without stiff punishment, I could almost guarantee it.
