Should be an interesting offering that might require a few extra spins to fully appreciate. Oh and you can get it on iTunes now.
P.S. An exciting development is that legendary recluse Scott Walker will provide vocals on the eery new track The Big Sleep. Have a sneaky listen here.
The long-awaited follow-up to Grizzly Bear's remarkable Yellow House, is finally coming. The title, (pronounced VECKahTIMMest), is after a small, uninhabited island off the coast of Massachusetts. Cool.
For those who have yet to experience the lush, cavernous echoes of Grizzly Bear, you are in for a sweet surprise. The new album, out on the boundary pushing Warp label, promises to be a lush, haunting forest for you to get lost amongst.
Unfortunately some dickhead has already leaked the CD onto the net. But ignore that! In fact, why not pre-order the vinyl edition here.
Iggy Pop
New Album: Preliminaires
Release date: May 18
And now to something different. Iggy Pop will be releasing a jazz album entitled Preliminaires, as a tribute to Michel Houellebecq's novel A Possibility of an Island.
Mr Pop has recorded a fairly lengthy video (which includes his dog Lucky and some serious vacuuming in the background) about the background of his new project. He explains he's created an album which consists of music he "feels in his soul" when he reads the above mentioned novel.
A surprising, mammoth concept that will hopefully not turn into a Rod Stewart jazz offering.
