Title:	Pathetic Magic
Label:	THRILL JOCKEY
Format:	12"
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	THR 012.35EP

"Thank You finally return after a year of touring both here (with the astonishing Mi Ami) and abroad behind their 2008 full-length Thrill Jockey debut Terrible Two. The new EP features two new tracks, 'Pathetic Magic' and 'Strange All,' and is the first recording to feature Emmanuel Nicolaidis behind the drum kit. The B side of the EP features three exclusive remixes from several Baltimore friends. Dan Deacon took time out from his hectic touring schedule to remix a track, Asa Osborne of Lungfish fame lent his minimalist aesthetic to a mix of 'Pathetic Magic' and 'Strange All' woven together, and Joe Williams (of White Williams) and Jason Urick (of WZT Hearts) collaborated together on a remix of 'Pathetic Magic.'" Numbered edition of 300 copies with two glossy inserts.

Title:	Terrible Two
Label:	THRILL JOCKEY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.50
Catalog #:	THR 198CD

"Thank You is an athletic rhythm/action unit, made up of Jeffrey McGrath, Michael Bouyoucas, and Elke Wardlaw. They are three free individuals, subsumed into a collective form that spits out dank, skittering tracks filled with light and dark. Musical ideas are introduced and have conversations with one another, each track filled with new articulation and insight. The basics of drums, organ, and guitar build the foundation, but are augmented by whistles, cowbell, hobo harmonica, snappy loops, car horns, and whatever else might be at hand."

Title:	Golden Worry
Label:	THRILL JOCKEY
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	THR 243CD

"Thank You could only come from one city, at one moment in time. Like Pere Ubu's Cleveland and Joy Division's Manchester, post-industrial Baltimore serves as simultaneous playground, obstacle course, and muse to this show-stealing art-rock trio. Jeffrey McGrath (everything), Michael Bouyoucas (everything), and Emmanuel Nicolaidis (everything) are veterans of a cold era when the Baltimore music scene barely exceeded the carrying capacity of a warehouse elevator. Things change, and the band's urgent collision of rhythm, melody, and noise has placed them at the creative center of today's Baltimore renaissance. Here we have guitars, drums, and vocals -- but also '60s Vox organs, harmonica, mini-moog, jaw harp, sampler, and Fender Twin Reverb amps -- all in the service of six hypnotic tracks of Baltimore-built avant-rock. From the first-jangling, then-jagged guitars of album-opener '1-2-3 Bad' to the triumphant swirls and squeals of 'Continental Divide' and the dexterously deconstructed instrumental bridge of galvanizing closer 'Can't/Can,' these songs are intricate yet immediate stunners. Attacked with the ecstatic, fierce energy of a Thank You live set -- and then perfected in the studio with ears attuned to dub, Eno, 20th Century classical, and Konono No. 1 -- Golden Worry is a new world in which we listeners can lose ourselves: the sound of Baltimore at the vanguard as we enter the Two-Thousand Teens."
