"Sun Kil Moon/Red House Painters mainman Mark Kozelek has signed Portland, Ore.-based singer/songwriter Corinna Repp as the first artist to his Caldo Verde imprint. Her next album, 'The Absent and the Distant,' will arrive Sept. 19.

Repp has released two previous albums on Hush Records and was recently featured on the Kill Rock Stars compilation 'The Sound the Hare Heard.' Says Kozelek, 'Signing an artist is something that hasn't interested me in the past, but I immediately jumped at this opportunity. She may be the only artist I'll ever sign.'

As for Kozelek, he has three dates on his performance schedule next month: July 9 in Montreal, July 11 in Ottawa, Ontario, and July 13 in Toronto."
