CHIMERA MUSIC: A collaborative artist-run label and arts collective of Sean Lennon, Yuka Honda and Charlotte Kemp Muhl.

Release No. 0: Fourteen track album (52 minutes) previewing a half dozen exciting new projects coming out in late 2009 / 2010, with numerous exclusive tracks which won’t be available elsewhere.

IF BY YES - Sublime sounds from Yuka Honda, the brain of Cibo Matto, and the extraordinary vocalist Petra Haden, with Yuko “Migu” Araki & Hirotaka “Shimmy” Shimizu from the Cornelius band. 3 songs are included on the sampler including a remix by Cornelius.

Sean Lennon –Preview of several terrific new songs, plus two instrumental selections from the soundtrack to a low-budget horror movie, Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Undead, composed and recorded on his bedroom laptop. Dramatic & wild – the film score sounds like the son of Ennio Morricone ca. early 70s.

The GOASTT – The Ghost Of A Saber Toothed Tiger pairs Lennon with young vocalist / songwriter Charlotte Kemp Muhl, on mysterious and surreal melodies.

Kemp And Eden – Muhl’s GOASTT work made us rather curious to hear her unrecorded Atlanta teen folk duo, and at our urging the idiosyncratic songwriters have reunited for a tremendous 2009 debut album.

YOKO ONO PLASTIC ONO BAND - The visionary music of this iconic avant-garde pioneer was a precursor and inspiration to both Punk Rock and Krautrock, as well as numerous contemporary greats. Mom now returns to Plastic Ono Band in the prime of her life, ready to kick more ass.

Look for albums by these artists and other surprises in the year to come.
