Band of Horses new album Infinite Arms to be released in May

Band of Horses new album Infinite Arms to be released in MayBand of Horses will release their third full length LP, Infinite Arms,on May 18th through Brown Records/Fat Possum Records/Columbia Records. The album was produced by Band of Horses with additional production from Phil Ek, mixed by Dave Sardy, and recorded over a 16-month period.

Everything All The Time was a vibrant work that provided many hours of enjoyment, while their last album, Cease to Begin, felt like dulled down rehash. I’m holding out higher hope for Infinite Arms.

Freelance Whales:: Generator 2nd Floor from Weathervanes

Freelance Whales:: Generator 2nd Floor from WeathervanesWith song, harmonies, and a momentous certainty of sound, Freelance Whales release their album Weathervanes on April 13th via Frenchkiss/Mom + Pop Records. The album moves from the fragrant realms of acoustic and afterglow found on “Broken Horse,” to other natures including “Starring,” striking thoughts of The Postal Service’s craftsmanship without thoughts of Owl City. Check out the expansive first single, “Generator 2nd Floor,” and the video if you choose.

Introducing Oregon’s Black Prairie featuring members of The Decemberists

Introducing Oregons Black Prairie featuring members of The DecemberistsGrowing up in the middle of nowhere, I know a bit about front porches and their delight. Oregon-based Black Prairie feauture three-fifths of The Decemberists and was produced by Tucker Martine (The Decemberists, Death Cab for Cutie). Decemberists guitarist Funk and bassist Nate Query came up with the idea to start a primarily instrumental string band while on the road. Funk began to spend time playing the square-necked Dobro guitar, and the pair recruited fellow Decemberist Jenny Conlee to play accordion. Portland musicians Annalisa Tornfelt and Jon Neufeld then joined on violin and guitar. “All my weird songs have finally found a home in this group,” laughs guitarist Neufeld. Sugar Hill Records will release Feast of the Hunters’ Moon on April 6, 2010. Check out the acoustic tenders of “Red Rocking Chair,” featured on the band’s myspace.
