New Music Releases – September 22 2009

Posted on 21. Sep, 2009 by refe in NEWS

Summer is coming to an end and the big releases are cranking up. This week brings us several highly anticipated releases, as well as one or two that I am personally excited about.

As far as big name acts go, Pearl Jam’s Backspacer drops this week, the band’s first album since cutting ties with Sony Records. And it doesn’t get much bigger than U2′s I’ll Go Crazy If I Don’t Go Crazy Tonight which hits this week as well.

Indie-folk ‘supergroup’ Monsters of Folk unveil their first self-titled collaborative effort. The band consists of Jim James from My Morning Jacket, Conor Oberst and Mike Mogis from Bright Eyes and M. Ward.

One new release that I am particularly excited about is the new one from the Icelandic group Müm, called Sing Along to Songs You Don’t Know. I’ve been a big fan of Müm since Yesterday Was Dramatic – Today Is OK way back in 2000. Make sure to give Sing Along a listen.

Also coming this week is Castanet’s spaced-out folk epic Texas Rose, The Thaw and the Beasts. Check out the full review I posted last week.

The complete list is below with affiliate links to purchase straight from iTunes or Amazon (depending on availability at the time of posting.) You’ll notice that this list only includes major label acts – this is simply because I don’t have the time to track down each and every new independent release. If you are an independent artist or record label and would like your upcoming releases included on this weekly list please contact me.
