Our hearts are all a-flutter about the Korda Records Showcase at 7th Street Entry in Minneapolis on Saturday Jan 12th.

Join us for a festive night filled with performances by all Korda artists: The Ocean Blue, Jim Ruiz Set, The Starfolk, Typsy Panthre--plus a special Transmission after-party to follow live performances by the Current's Jake Rudh.

Korda Records issued three exciting releases in fall 2012: Typsy Panthre - Typsy Panthre, Jim Ruiz Set - Mount Curve Avenue, and Korda Artists - Korda Kompilation. More excitement ahead--first full length in a decade by The Ocean Blue, and debut LP by The Starfolk both coming in early 2013. The Korda Showcase is our chance to celebrate all these good things with you!  

We'll have Jim Ruiz Set CDs hot off the press (--it's their CD release show!), a rare local performance by The Ocean Blue, the first-ever live performance by Typsy Panthre, and download cards from The Starfolk containing a sneak preview of their April 23rd 2013 debut full length.

Korda Records is a Minneapolis based record label cooperative launched in 2012 by Allison LaBonne (The Starfolk, Typsy Panthre, The Owls), David Schelzel (The Ocean Blue), Brian Tighe (The Starfolk, The Hang Ups, The Owls), and the Legendary Jim Ruiz (Jim Ruiz Set). Korda (n. Swedish chord) is comprised of a close knit group of friends who love each others' music, and want to help each others' music reach more people who will love it too.

Korda 002 Jim Ruiz Set’s Mount Curve Avenue is out!

The fourteen year wait is over!  Mount Curve Avenue is now available on bandcamp, with iTunes and Amazon soon to follow.  Great reviews are sailing in from Sweden, France, and Brooklyn.

“Like his classic 1995 LP O Brother Where Art Thou? and Sniff, the new album, produced by The Orange Peels’ Alan Clapp, owes much to ’60s pop and jazz, and ’80s UK acts like Everything But the Girl, The Monochrome Set and The Jazz Butcher (whose Max Eider plays a stellar solo on ‘Neo Acoustic Ambassador’). All of which is filtered through Ruiz’s funny, romantic, world-weary lyrics. It’s a charmer of an album and an extremely welcome return.” -Dominick Mastrangalo

The track “Would You Be There” was featured on The Local Show 89.3 on Sunday.  Get Jim Ruiz Set more spins by requesting here.

We hope you enjoy Korda 002 Mount Curve Avenue; a joint release with Mystery Lawn Music.  Share the news!

Jim Ruiz Set’s new album Mount Curve Avenue available 10/25/12 on Korda Records and Mystery Lawn marks the first release in 14 years by the legendary Jim Ruiz!

Korda Records 002

Now operating under the name Jim Ruiz Set with Emily Ruiz on drums and Charlotte Crabtree on bass; the band has been hard at work on this stellar 14 song opus, recorded during a week-long charmed sojourn in a stately ivy covered mansion on Mount Curve Avenue in Minneapolis.

The album could not have been completed without a little help from a lot of their friends: Allen Clapp, Allison LaBonne, Brian Tighe, Mike Crabtree, Peter Anderson, Peter Robelia, Jim Ouska, David Salmela, David Hamilton, David Schelzel, and Max Eider.   This poignant, witty, devastating and loving collection of jazz infused pop songs will melt your neo-acoustic heart.
