Business Wire
Today, The Orchard (NASDAQ: ORCD), a global leader in music and
video distribution and comprehensive digital strategy, announced
that it has signed legendary British rock bands Jethro Tull and
Cornershop, as well as England’s one-and-only Boy George. These
acts were signed to major record labels prior to partnering with
The Orchard for distribution and digital marketing.
Jethro Tull’s lead singer and flutist Ian Anderson commented on
the group’s endeavor, “In this exciting age of digital music
distribution, The Orchard's new thinking and ability to seek
out and take advantage of new opportunities as they are
presented, means the difference between stagnation of the
music industry as we know it and the growth of a new musical
prosperity. Digital distribution is fast becoming the main
outlet for the interests of our children's generation;
those children who will inherit the great historical depth
of repertoire of Rock, Pop, and Classical music, as well
as their own generational peer artists.”
On February 8th, The Orchard released albums from Ian Anderson
and Jethro Tull, including “Aqualung Live,” which are now available
at digital outlets worldwide.
On March 22nd, the androgynous Boy George will release the new
single “Amazing Grace” from his upcoming Orchard album. The single
will be released digitally worldwide, as a CD single, and as a
limited edition vinyl picture disc in the UK. The release features
club re-mixes by Sharp Boys, Filo & Peri, Mac & Taylor, and
an acoustic version that features Jamiroquai’s Rob Harris on
guitar.
Cornershop, who the Telegraph describes as “one of the most
vital inventive force at work in British pop,” is set release “Judy
Sucks a Lemon For Breakfast” via The Orchard, on February 22 in UK
and Europe and in April in the US. A North American tour will
accompany the release of the album.
Scott Cohen, Founder and Vice President of The Orchard,
commented, “Unlike the traditional label model, acts who choose to
keep the rights to their music by signing with The Orchard,
including progressive rock bands like Jethro Tull and Cornershop,
and artists like Boy George, can maintain creative control and
artistic direction of their album campaigns.”
