Well, it would appear that TV
On The Radio have readied a new full length that's titled Dear Science,.
It's suppose to be out in late September, so I'm kind of surprised that a
first single hasn't been pushed out to the eagerly awaiting masses.
Let me know if you come across any tunes that leak from it! Alright,
today I have the latest number from Conor Oberst's upcoming self titled solo
full length. To be honest, if I had known about this around the time
of I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning I would have been ecstatic, but after
the uninspired set that was Cassadaga I'm really more hesitant than
anything. Still, the song below is a good one, and I am curious as to
hear how Conor utilizes the Mystic Valley Band. Merge will be
releasing the album on on August 5. Enjoy.

Oberst - Danny Callahan:
Oddly enough, the sound here is what I was expecting from
Conor after the brilliant but sometimes heavy-handed I'm
Wide Awake, It's Morning. The overall feel that is
actually casual and worthy of relaxed foot tapping and
repeat listens that don't require alcohol or slight
depression. I mean, this works whenever and wherever
you want it to, and I think that's a rather nice
development. Good stuff.
There really
isn't much to this video as far visuals go (it's just Conor
and the guys playing around inside and outside the studio),
but I would recommend turning it on and listening to the
wide range of sounds that will probably make up the new
disc.
