There's some hot new music coming out this fall that I'm excited about. I've fallen into a music funk lately, mostly due to being away from iTunes for the summer, and secondarily as an attempt to spent less frivolously, and thus not buying much new music.
However, come fall, it's on.
I'm a big proponent of albums to mark the transition into a new season. It just seems fitting to find a new soundtrack to complete the change. And fortunately, this year, there's a lot to look forward to. Here's my short list:
The New Pornographers have something new out today, in fact. Here's a glimpse. They're in Boston 10/23.
The Go! Team has something new coming out in either September or October, and will be in Boston on 10/25. They're aways a good party.
Beiruit also has some new EP coming out that sounds really good. It's called Lawn Gisland. Appropriately, they'll (really he'll) be in NYC 9/24-25.
Dreamy, Jens Lekman is also having something new coming out. Did I mention he's dreamy? He's going to be in Boston 10/29. There's a glimpse at Stereoscope, a favorite music blog, which you can find here. It's discotastic. And dreamy.
Other new things (Boston concert dates in parentheses): Stars (10/19), Spoon (10/17), Junior Senior (missed them in august; the new CD starts with handclaps), and MIA is getting great reviews.
Looks like the second half of October is going to be a busy concert season. Conveniently timed with Fall midterms and Fall1 finals. Music will probably win out.
