About the Release

“Why We Need Night”, the third release on Tricycle from the San Francisco based group The Union Trade, follows their debut EP “Now The Swell” (2007) and 2008 full length, “Everyday Including”, whose lush, cinematic post-rock sound earned the band admiration from  fans around the world. The success of “Everyday Including” was highlighted by The Union Trade’s performances at the 2008 NoisePop Festival, the 2008 and 2009 Bay Area Takeover parties at SXSW, as well as a slew of shows and an official SXSW showcase in 2009. The band has also received positive press and reviews in publications such as The Bay Bridged, West Coast Performer, The Owl Mag, San Francisco Bay Guardian, Heave Media, Just Press Play and Sound+Vision Magazine etc… Since its release, “Everyday Including” has earned heavy rotation from outlets such as SOMA FM’s IndiePop Rocks, BAGle Radio, Insomnia Radio, LastFM and Pandora.

“Why We Need Night”, written and recorded in the summer and fall of 2010, displays both the band’s evolving sound and their continued promise as it strips away some of the epic layers of their last release while adding a wider array of electronic and analogue elements.

Friends of Tricycle Records Compilation Vol. 1 Free Download

As we enter our 5th year as an independent record label, our only regret is not having the resources to work with every talented artist that approaches us. So we decided to release a special compilation of local acts that have made an impression on us this passed year. Friends of Tricycle Records Vol. 1 features unreleased tracks from up and coming Bay Area artists including:  Ash Reiter, Murder of Lilies, Rich Girls, Fake Your Own Death, Kill Moi and Tomihira. In addition we’ll be spotlighting unreleased tracks from our own roster off new 2011 releases from The Union Trade, The Frail and The Northern Key. We also know you Geographer fans are getting antsy waiting for their new record, so we are including a special remix of Verona done by dance music producer Adeptus and our good friend DJ Omar.  Special Thanks to sound engineer Ben Bernardy at Different Fur Studios and Nina Asay for this amazing cover art.
