Bop Tart Records lets out a big yawn. We had a very good nap. A very long nap. Like a hibernating bear, we awaken from our powerfully long slumber ready for action.

We’re still stretching our long dormant muscles and rubbing the sleep from our eyes, but not for long. We have some things in the works. We have a new album to release. We have a new website to launch. Watch this space for further details.

According to our web stats for April people found boptart.com by searching the following things “tart ass, mermaid on mermaid, malt liquor, hayabusa wrestling, david bowie love poems, one night stand in boise”

Now they will find us even more by searching for these things, the old bait and switch.

We’ve got a big announcement this weekend regarding neat little contest we have coming up for the Kanda CD!

Here are some reviews thus far for “all the good meetings are taken”:

”...[Kanda’s] catchy twinkle and shimmer invoke images of robots tucking in little kids at night underneath glow-in-the-dark stars tacked to the ceiling.” – Sable Yong, soundthesirens.com

“When it comes to laptop-sugar-pop, nobody does it sweeter than
Kanda….”List” (is) one of the best love songs I’ve ever heard.” Adam Barraclough, crowndozen.com

“On their second effort, All the Good Meetings are Taken, Kanda comes out pushing the nursery rhyme candor of the Moldy Peaches, if the Peaches had ever made it past the 5th grade.” – Bree Kutz, kaffeinebuzz.com

“if you like to feel… sunburst warmth from your headphones, you’ll fall in love with Kanda.” – Megan Selling, The Stranger (Seattle)

We got a nice little write-up in the Stranger about this weekends show at the Vera Project. Check it:

When a record opens with a line like, “You melt the arctic every time you dance” being gently sung over warm and fuzzy synth sounds, it’s impossible not to feel like you’re off on the right foot. You know, if you like your music with a high cuddly quotient, anyways. And New York duo Kanda are hoping you do, because that’s exactly how their upcoming record, All the Good Meetings Are Taken, starts. The remaining 10 tracks on the album, which won’t be released until May 5, radiate just as much adorable sentiment. In fact things only get cuter. Some might be over the sweet electro-pop thing. But if you like to feel sappy, sunburst warmth from your headphones, you’ll fall in love with Kanda. MEGAN SELING .
