Boniver452_1

From Pitchfork...

...on June 21, Bon Iver will finally return when Jagjaguwar releases their self-titled sophomore album.

Vernon and brother Nate recorded and mixed the album over a three-year period at a former veterinarian's clinic in Wisconsin. Regular Vernon collaborators Sean Carey, Mike Noyce, and Matt McCaughan play, sing, and contributed production to the album. Volcano Choir members Jim Schoenecker and Tom Wincek helped out with processing, and Rob Moose, who has worked with the National and Antony and the Johnsons, helped arrange strings. The LP also features pedal steel player Greg Leisz and a horn section that includes Mike Lewis, C.J. Camerieri, and free-jazz monster Colin Stetson. The lush cover art, from Minnesota artist Gregory Euclide, is above.

The Gettys | New Song at TGC11

Keith and Kristyn Getty's band played a new song (that hasn't been recorded as far as I know) at The Gospel Coalition. It's "a hymn about money" that's "set to the story of the rich young man." My buddy took the video and sent it to me so I could share it with my Music Monday friends. Enjoy!

And when I cling to what I have
Please wrest it quickly from my grasp
I'd rather lose the things of earth
To gain the things of heaven

Manchester Orchestra | "Simple Math"

New Manchester Orchestra album, Simple Math, comes out on May 10th. Here's their first song and title track, "Simple Math." I LOVED their last album, Mean Everything to Nothing. The first video is really pretty cool. The second, I may even like better with lyrics. Interview with Andy Hull, including some thoughts on his pastor-family and a little on how God influenced the album.

What if I was wrong, and no one cared to mention.
What if it was true, and all we thought was right was wrong.
Simple math, the truth cannot be fractioned.

    Daytrotter | Barnstormer IV

    20054642-3732296

    Last year I fell in love with Delta Spirit (& other bands) for one reason alone: Daytrotter's Barnstormer tour. This year there are 5 stops on the Daytrotter Barnstormer IV Tour from April 26-30. Two are in Illinois, with other stops in Minnesota, Michigan, & Iowa. Bands include Sondre Lerche, Guards, The Romany Rye, Keegan Dewitt, and Hellogoodbye, though the line-up isn't exactly the same at each location.

    Every stop has at least four bands and each stop is only $15. Can't recommend this enough. Unique concerts for up and coming bands.
