Yo La Tengo : 'Stuff Like That There' Streaming Today via NPR First Listen
In advance of the August 28 release date, NPR First Listen is streaming the new Yo La Tengo album, 'Stuff Like That There' in full today. Jason Heller hails YLT's "encyclopedic love of music that transcends genre" ("the album shows, yet again, just how euphorically Yo La Tengo scrawls outside the line"), though it seems his editors cut the line where he compliments Matador Records' restraint in eschewing some super tired "Straight Outta Hoboken" meme for cheap social media laughs.
One the evening of Friday, August 28, Other Music is hosting a release day party for 'Stuff Like That There', with Ira, Georgia and James DJ'ing and signing records. In addition, those who purchase the album will have a chance to win two guest list spots to "Songs Like These Here": an evening of YLT-themed piano karaoke featuring Joe McGinity, Tuesday, September 8, at Sid Gold's Request Room in Manhattan
Preorder 'Stuff Like That There' on LP or CD from The Matador Store, including bundle with tote + cassingle w/ 2 new unreleased tracks)

Majical Cloudz - 'Are You Alone?' Coming October 16, "Silver Car Crash" Premiere
(photo by Sarah O'Driscoll)
In 2013, the Canadian musical-performance art project Majical Cloudz released Impersonator via label Matador, garnering global praise as one of the year's best albums. Since then, principle writer and vocalist Devon Welsh has been fastidiously crafting the band's second studio album, while simultaneously touring the world with producer Matthew Otto. Today, Majical Cloudz announce their anticipated sophomore LP, 'Are You Alone?', arriving in-stores and online around the world on October 16th.
Building off a solidly-laid visual and sonic foundation, the narrative remains - simple yet emotionally forthcoming lyrics showcasing raw vulnerability, backed by sparse instrumentation and minimalist production. Welsh delivers melancholic but melody driven vocals echoing off elemental tones, praising love and friendship, commiserating over heartbreak and sadness. Written and recorded between Montreal and Detroit, it comes as no surprise that Welsh and Otto have created another soulful novella, continuing to contribute to the evolution of sound in pop, indie, and electronic music.
This morning, Majical Cloudz are sharing the first single off of 'Are You Alone?', "Silver Car Crash",
TRACKLISTING:
1. Disappeared
2. Control
3. Are You Alone?
4. So Blue
5. Heavy
6. Silver Car Crash
7. Change
8. If You're Lonely
9. Downtown
10. Easier Said Than Done
11. Game Show
12. Call On Me
Preorder 'Are You Alone?' from The Matador Store, iTunes or Amazon.

Pavement - 'The Secret History Vol. 1' Out Today
(handiwork of Robin Groves)
Just a reminder that the Pavement rarities comp., 'The Secret History Vol. 1' (gloriously depicted here), is out TODAY via Matador in North America and Domino in Europe. Publications including but not limited to Newsweek, New York and Rolling Stone have been awash in coverage for this important title, but I'm pretty sure a confident, iconoclastic person like yourself isn't swayed by that sort of thing and you were gonna order the 2XLP anyway.

Now Streaming At NPR First Listen : Pavement's 'The Secret History, Vol.1'
(photo courtesy The Spiral Stairs Archives)
One week prior to release, 'The Secret History, Vol. 1', the Pavement double LP rarities comp. touted in this space previously, is streaming today via NPR Music. NPR's Jason Heller writes, "these songs have all been floating around for years, either on their original releases, as bonus tracks on reissued albums, or as bootlegs. But bundling them has a purpose, aside from simple commerce: In a recent Pitchfork interview, Malkmus called History "the album that could have been between Slanted And Enchanted and Crooked Rain [the album on which 'Cut Your Hair' appears]." He's right. There's a coherence to the chaos of these 30 misfit songs, each one an off-kilter, self-sabotaging gem. By stringing them together, they speak powerfully to the way Pavement celebrated songcraft while gnawing at its foundations. If the '90s had turned out differently, Pavement could have been as popular as, say, Weezer. Instead, as History proves, they were always destined for something stranger." Also, Weezer are/were terrible! Thanks, Jason!
