sup y’all? friends of captains dead and all around good blokes the line of best fit has a bunch of cool shit for your reading and listening pleasure. bon iver interview here, monthly mixtape feat. the likes of the silver jews, wye oak, bodies of water, etc here and a southern records sampler here.
put sept 9th on your calendars cause calexico is back with a new record entitled, carried to dust. i got no other info other than the release date and that the album includes sam beam, douglas mccombs, and pieta brown. oh yeah, and here’s the album art, which in typical calexico fashion is pretty damn great. that would make a pretty cool tattoo, me thinks. wanna read the press release as put out by touch and go? read it here.
speaking of touch and go, but not really, quarterstick is putting out a record by oklahoma city inhabitants, the uglysuits(pic’d above) on 8.19. i am definitely diggin the noise they are making. its poppy for sure, but there may be a slight psychedelia vibe going on too. hard to judge by one track but still some pretty cool stuff. check em out!
if you are going to see iron and wine in minneapolis, iowa city, st. louis or columbus these lads will be opening up. they play @ the hideout on the 14th.
there’s nothing hugely exciting about anthem in, but i’ll be damned if i didnt hit repeat over and over again after each listen of ”down.” there’s just something about that song in particular that warrants repeated listens or causes a brief bout with an obsessive compulsive disorder. if ya dig death cab, pinback, the shins or maybe even the likes of beulah, you may find anthem in quite appealing.
their self titled debut is out on 6.24 via quiet/loud records.
