tooth ache.’s new video for Skin is crazy awesome. Don’t even know where to start. Think 90s Debbie Gibson mashed with cable access and a killer song over it. Just check it out for yourself. Our friends at Altered Zones & Chocolatebobka co-premiered it earlier this week. We still have tooth ache. 7″s available — the single is limited to 400, pressed on clear vinyl and comes with a digital download and Father/Daughter button set. Grab your copy from our online store!

If it weren’t for people like you, we wouldn’t be here. GROUP HUG!
Florida’s Levek aka David Levesque is releasing his debut 7″ with Father/Daughter Records and we couldn’t be more excited.

Every record order comes with a digital download bundle including both songs off the 7″ and three additional/bonus tracks and a handmade button set. Pre-order the new jams on our online store HERE.
While you’re here, why not download the A-side, “Look on the Bright Side” and check out the cover art, designed by Señor Levesque himself…

We couldn’t be more excited to announce that Father/Daughter will be releasing a limited run 7″ for Florida’s Levek this winter. Levek is David Levesque, a bus driver during the day and a smooth croon on his off hours. You may have caught his a cappella cover of Grizzly Bear’s “Shift” buzzing around the internets but let us just say, you haven’t heard anything yet. More info to come in the meantime, stay tuned to Levek’s Myspace and the F/D site for more info as it comes in.
“Levek floats us through a warm and foggy paradise- you can almost feel the mist on your face.” — I Guess I’m Floating
“What Levek offers are beautifully intricate songs that live somewhere between Paul Simon and Bon Iver—patchwork pieces stitched from swampy tribal beats, looped vocals, accidental environmental sounds, and quiet ukelele.” — Break Thru Radio
“This dude seriously rocks, I highly recommend you check him out.” — The Tape
