The Magnetic Fields to release "Realism"
The Magneitc Fields will be releasing their new album entitled Realism on January 26th, 2010 via Nonesuch records. This will be the band’s eighth full length release and the follow-up to 2008’s Distortion. Besides the cover art and track listing, not much information is floating around as what to expect in terms of the sound. However, it can be assumed that this album will continue the avoidance of any synthesizers or programmed beats, a conscious decision by Merritt since the release of i. After the sonic expansion of Distortion, maybe we’ll get a stripped down record, who knows? I do know I am excited.
Realism is out 1/26/2010 on Nonesuch records
01 “You Must Be Out of Your Mind”
02 “Interlude”
03 “We Are Having A Hootenanny”

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]Julian Casblancas “11th Dimension”
Remember Julian Casablancas? Of course you do! Well, just in case you weren’t sure, The Strokes frontman is releasing his new solo effort, entitled Phrazes For The Young next week, on November 3rd. This is the first single, “11th Dimension”. After blasting this track in my car on repeat I can definitely say I’m excited to hear the rest of the album. I know one track, good or bad, can never be an accurate marker for predicting how the entire album will sound. However, in this case I’m going to be optimistic and assume the majority of the tracks on Phrazes For The Young will be as good as “11th Dimension”, at least I hope.

Dirty Projectors w/ Givers at Antone's Tonight
The Dirty Projectros play Antone’s tonight with support from Givers. The band is currently on tour in support of their latest release, Bitte Orca. I was able to see them at SXSW earlier this year before the release of Bitte Orca. For that set, they played songs exclusively from Bitte Orca, which was great, but now that I’m familiar with the tracks off of Bitte Orca I’m even more excited for this show . I’m also hoping to hear some of their older material, but either way, this should be a great show. Doors open around 8:00 pm and the show should start around 9:00 pm.
Bitte Orca is out now via Domino.

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]Rose Melberg - “Things That We Do”
Dear Rose Melberg,
I wish I was born a few years earlier, that way, maybe by chance, I could have attended the same university you did. I think we would have had a lot to talk about, we would have talked about our love of The Field Mice and Orange Juice and how we wish that we could move to Glasgow to start a band. Afterwards, we could probably tour Europe. We’d recruit a bass player and a drummer, they’d be cool to hang with, but they wouldn’t be necessary to the band’s success. Yeah, that would be grand. I also wonder who all these sad songs are about? What kind of jerk would leave such a sweet girl? I don’t get it. C’est la vie.
Sincerely,
A Fan.

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]St. Vincent - “Laughing With A Mouth of Blood”
This is probably my favorite track off of Actor, the sophomore effort of St. Vincent. I haven’t listened to this album in its entirety since it was released this May up until a couple of days ago. I’ll say this, the album will probably be getting a lot of plays on the ipod the next few days. It also reminded me just how much Annie Clark has matured as a songwriter from her debut, Marry Me. I believe this album will be making my top albums of 2009 list, yes, definitely.

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]Washed Out - “Feel It All Around”
Washed Out is the work of Ernest Greene. I’ve been in love with his debut EP, Life of Leisure, since the moment I heard the track “New Theory”. The demos had been posted on his myspace page for some time, but the EP was given a proper release this August via Mexican Summer. “Feel It All Around” is probably my favorite track off his debut. Washed out just recently performed their first ever live show at CMJ earlier this week, and while Green had previously stated hat no tour is in the works, maybe his performance at CMJ is a sign that he may be reconsidering.
