StudioCanal Acquires Hoyts Distribution Down Under European production and distribution giant StudioCanal has expanded its footprint to Australia and New Zealand, acquiring Hoyts Distribution, which releases the Twilight franchise Down Under. Hoyts Corp, which owns the second-biggest circuit in Australasia, had been looking to unload its distribution unit before The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 opens here in November. No price was disclosed for the 11-year-old distribution company, which has a library of more than 120 titles, but industry executives estimated it would have fetched $A20 million-$A30 million. The existing team led by CEO Robert Slaviero remains in place. StudioCanal, whose current production slate includes the Coen brothers’ Inside Llewyn Davis, Susanne Bier’s Serena and Dan Mazer’s I Give It A Year, said it will look for new opportunities for international productions in Australia, capitalizing on the tax incentives and talent base.

It's no mystery—you don't name your new album _La Grande_ unless you plan on expanding your sonic palette. Nor do you enlist a virtual who's who of veteran overdub buddies (The Dodos, Calexico's Joey Burns, two Decemberists). On her first handful of releases, Oregon-based folkie Laura Gibson has made a career out of barely playing, with a lonesome country-jazz voice that floats softly, like a ghost through a windowpane.

An unlikely pair, Laura Gibson and Ethan Rose came together after a conversation about music. She is a folk singer, he, an electronic composer. And yet, despite their differences, together they created an interesting and beautiful album, Bridge Carols, that melds richly textured soundscapes with stream-of-consciousness improvised vocals. Now, the duo is hitting the road to bring the songs from Carols to life on stage....

With powder-soft instrumentation draped amidst lilting, hopeful vocals, Musee Mecanique’s 2008 debut Hold This Ghost is music made for days when reality feels something like a mirage. Frontmen and longtime friends Micah Rabwin and Sean Ogilvie formed the group in 2006 after relocating from California to a cozy neighborhood in southeast Portland, Ore.—there, they began to collaborate with their now-bandmates (drummer Matt Berger, keyboardist Brian Perez and bassist Jeff Boyd) signing to Frog Stand Records a few years later. Musee Mecanique and its mix of yard-sale instruments—glockenspiel, accordion, singing saw, synthesizer—shared the stage with Portland neighbor Laura Gibson on tour this summer. Paste caught Rabwin and Ogilvie during the band's stop in Washington, D.C., where they talked homesickness, new music and their namesake museum.

Portland, Ore.-based singer/songwriter Laura Gibson wrote her new album, Beasts of Seasons, underneath a cemetery. Her basement apartment was built into the hill of a graveyard, which sloped up from her solitary window and disappeared into a skyline of trees and headstones. At night, Gibson would look up from her bed and see moonlight glinting off the marble markers.

Half of Portland seasons local folkie’s third album
Portlander Laura Gibson sings slow-moving and softly muted folk songs about the trials of life—the different burdens we all carry and the same end we all meet. On Beasts of Seasons, her third album and second for local label Hush, the music shimmers and sparkles, fades and builds, thanks to producer Tucker Martine and a Who’s Who of the local scene. Horns and a singing saw weep tenderly on “Funeral Song” and Eyvind Kang’s viola flies like a kite in a strong wind during “Where Have All Your Good Words Gone?” Her backing band, however, work only to spotlight Gibson’s studied lyrics, lovely finger-picked guitar and curious vocals, which sound by turns brittle and bold. There’s a slight crack in her voice that imbues these songs with subtle resignation, but especially on openers “Shadows on Parade” and “Come by Storm,...
