As previously reported, At Mount Zoomer is out July 17th. Rumor has it that the boys are exploring more Sunset Rubdown territory, though I'd have to disagree from what I've heard. Everyone, just please remember that Dan Boeckner is in the band too and not just Spencer Krug!
(Sorry, got into a discussion with someone the other day who had no idea who Dan Boeckner was but listened to every Spencer Krug project.)

The Mezzanine Owls released a new EP back in late February and I forgot to mention it. Sorry guys! Check out "Snowglobe" - it's a lush shoegaze-y confection fitting somewhere between Film School and The Jesus and Mary Chain.

Well, it's been awhile since I checked in with The Morning Benders, but I'm happy to report they have a new album out today! Talking Through Tin Cans captures the boys' good old fashioned yearning, but with drastically better production. On top of that, they are embarking on a tour with The Kooks next week. My hat is off to you, gentlemen...the hard work has paid off!

Headed off to Puerto Vallarta for the weekend! Was re-listening to the new Portishead album that came out this week - I absolutely got chills when the Blade Runner synth comes in near the end of "Machine Gun". Take a listen for yourself, and welcome back Portishead!
