THAT GODDAMNED JAY BRANNAN

Shortbus alumnus (and hottie!) Jay Brannan announced the release of his debut album 'goddamned', due out July 1st (digital)/July 15 (CD), as well as plans for a summer tour.  Recorded at Los Angeles’ famed Village Recording Studios with producer Will Golden (Meiko), Brannan decided to release the album through his own Great Depression Records, despite being wooed by major labels.

Brannan has operated an enviable online campaign from his studio apartment, premiering bedroom versions of his new songs on MySpace, YouTube and Facebook.  Over 3 million people have watched the clips, shot entirely from his laptop.  Online devotion has translated to a live draw, with worldwide sellouts including Los Angeles, London, Paris, Cape Town, Tel Aviv, Toronto, Vancouver and New York City.   An EP entitled Unmastered has sold over 30,000 tracks through iTunes and a 1,000 piece run of this EP, each with a different Polaroid cover, sold out in a day.
