04.07.10 - Right now MagicalBeautiful.com is being updated more frequently than ihearanewworld.com. We are busy getting ready for tour.

02.04.10 - Magical Beautiful is going on a in April and May. They will be both opening for, and backing up everyone's favorite minimalist Casiotone For The Painfully Alone. That's right: MB will be playing one set of their own tunes, and then one set backing Owen Ashworth playing CFTPA songs. Dates will be announced once they're all booked! "Not Building A Wall, But Making A Brick" (a recently-released full-length cassette by Magical Beautiful) will be released as a free download from the fine folk at Candy Dinner.

08.28.09 - Magical Beautiful just finished tracking basic tracks for "Purest Place" and "Silverado" at the Shape Shoppe in Chicago, and the songs are sounding super ill. There's only one more song to go, and some more editing/overdubs on other songs, and "Here Come The Wild Waves" will finally be ready for release. blahblahblah although the official "release date" will probably be later. There should also be a Night Terrors full-length out by then. Stay tuned.

07.29.09 - Hello. If you're a returning visitor, please explore the newness of ihearanewworld.com. If you're new to our world: welcome. Projects related to I Hear A New World tend to be ongoing, and this website is no exception. Over time, it will grow in content and usability, so periodic visits will be rewarded. We are very busy with several upcoming (and again, ongoing) projects, so website progress will come in fits and starts.

     Most of our releases, ()including the brand new ALANCE MOVELL album), are available for free download. We enjoy both digital and physical copies of music, (although physical products are more greatly cherished) and believe that you should be able to enjoy our music whether you have money or not. If you do have a budget for supporting music/art, please consider puchasing a physical copy or donating to help us offset our costs. We do not expect to make any money from this business, but do greatly appreciate your support, which will be rewarded with guest list spots and other perks.

     As for news, we have also recently launched MagicalBeautiful.com for our most prolific artist, Magical, Beautiful, who are currently hard at work on their second full-length "here come the wild waves", which we hope to have released on vinyl and CD by December, 2009. Alance's record is available now from us directly (ihearanewworld(AT)gmail.com) or by downloading here. There are also forthcoming releases from Night Terror and tours from Magical, Beautiful. Peace!
