MATT POND PA
mattpondpa.com
Look, I don't know about the 'state' of the "PA" in
Matt Pond PA's name. I thought he officially dropped it last year, but the 'PA' is back in his name. Personally, I'm not a fan of the PA, but I guess for legal reason(s), Matt Pond has to use the name Matt Pond PA.
Matt Pond PA's new album
The State Of Gold is out now on the newly relaunched, Doghouse Records, the label known for introducing such artists as The Get Up Kids, Hot Water Music and Say Anything. A limited edition gold translucent double LP is available to order in the Doghouse Records online store.
As usual he will be out on tour in support of the album - but oddly enough he has put together a series of small house shows. Addresses are not listed, you just have to be in the know to see him at these house parties.

BRITISH SEA POWER
britishseapower.co.uk
We haven't seen
British Sea Power since 2008... but I'm happy to report that their upcoming studio album
Sea Of Brass will be coming out October 30th, 2015, via Golden Chariot Records. The record will be available on double vinyl and CD. What is unique about the vinyl is that it will come with six bonus tracks.
If you didn't know, Golden Chariot Records is BSP's own label. Golden Chariot was the imprint for the band's first release, the
Fear Of Drowning CD, released in 2001.
The
Sea Of Brass project stems from a commission from Arts Council England, PRS Foundation and Derby Council and led to selections from the British Sea Power catalogue being reworked for brass orchestra by arranger Peter Wraight.
Track listing:
1. Heavenly Waters
2. Once More Now
3. Albert’s Eyes
4. Atom
5. A Light Above Ascending
6. Machineries Of Joy
7. When A Warm Wind Blows Through The Gates
8. The Great Suka
LP ONLY:
9. Waving Flags
10. No Need To Cry
11. The Smallest Church In Sussex
12. Lights Out For Darker Skies

Friday’s show proved among other things that it’s quite hip to be square, or at least sporting square-shaped eyewear. In roughly an hour and a half, Ben Sollee, Daniel Martin Moore, and their band

DANIEL MARTIN MOORE
danielmartinmoore.com
Golden Age is the new album from
Daniel Martin Moore. The Jim James* produced album will come out October 9th via Sofaburn Records.
We last saw DMM at the Cedar Cultural Center
in 2010 on his
Dear Companion tour with
Ben Sollee.
Regarding the album, Moore said “We wanted a bigger sound—full band treatments, strings, outer-space, and less guitar. It was Jim's suggestion that we start each song from the perspective of the drums & bass, finding the right foundation, and then seeing how the rest of the instrumentation would fit into that. In the past, it had very much been the other way around—everything was based around what my guitar was up to. We turned that on its head for this record.”
Tour dates:
Sep 19 - Nashville, TN - Americanafest
Oct 06 - St. Louis, MO - College Of Pharmacy
Oct 10 - Cincinnati, OH - River Grill Fest
Oct 11 - Louisville, KY - Brown Theatre
Dec 8 - Chicago, IL - Schubas
Dec 9 - Bloomington, IN - Bishop
(more dates to be announced soon)
