Noisey described the EP as, "The record qualifies as an EP, and yet it packs such breadth and length it would be obtuse to not consider it a full record in its own right."

THE LONELY WILD
at 7th Street Entry

first-avenue.com

Los Angeles' The Lonely Wild (not to be confused with the Young Wild) is back in Minneapolis, supporting their new sophomore album Chasing White Light (eOne Music / Fast Plastic).

Frontman Andrew Carroll talked about the so-called "death album" noting, "This album doesn't dwell on the despair of it all. It's about looking at death for what it is - something we all go through at some point. It's that great mystery and no one really knows what happens. You're never going to know until you get there. And you have to come to terms with that. Through writing these songs I've come to accept it and not totally fear it. And I hope our fans can too."

Touring with The Lonely Wild is Young Buffalo, who we previously mentioned the band as from being from Mississippi. The five-piece rock band (singer/guitarist Jim Barrett, guitarist Ben Yarbrough, keyboardist Will Eubanks, bassist Andrew Guinn, and drummer Timothy Burkhead) has a new album called House, an 11-track album produced by Dave Schiffman (Haim, Weezer).

Local Jonathan Seldat to open.

Remaining The Lonely Wild Tour Dates:

11.18 - New Haven, CT @ BAR
11.21 - Rock Island, IL @Rozz Tox
11.23 - Minneapolis, MN @ 7th St. Entry

Starting next week (April 8th), Young Man kicks off a national U.S. tour with Maps & Atlases, a band we previously covered.

CHOIR OF YOUNG BELIEVERS
facebook.com

You may remember hearing me talk about this Denmark band last year, but Choir Of Young Believers is back with a new video called "Paralyze", taken from their sophomore album Rhine Gold (out now on Ghostly International).

Director Anders Malmberg explained his work, "The music serves as the emotional script when you direct promos, and in this case I had the wonderful joy of working with a really strong composed work of music, that indeed challenges the conventional song format, without losing the pathos and pop sensibility that characterize Choir of Young Believers. I listened to the music, and wrote a script. I wanted the film to have a timeless and simple aesthetic, a simple design. So apart from being in love with long dolly shots, I also tried to articulate ideas that are related to different fields within fine art such as sculpture, painting, fashion and photography."

Check out the video on youtube.

YOUNG TURKS facebook.com Portland's Young Turks (not to be confused with the Turkish nationalist movement or the record label that signed xx and Wavves) was recently named Alternative Press' "100 Bands You Need to Know in 2013". The young band just recorded their cover of Bruce Springsteen's "I'm On Fire", which you can hear on bandcamp. All proceeds from the track will benefit the Green Acres Animal Sanctuary in Silverton. Not really sure what being on fire has anything to do with animals… but there you go.

YOUNG GALAXY younggalaxy.com Young Galaxy's Ultramarine is coming out April 23rd, 2013, via Paper Bag Records. This is the band's FOURTH album, recorded in Sweden… their first away from their usual Montreal recording session. You can check out the new single, "New Summer" at Soundcloud.com.
