Brad Mehldau is teaming up with former bandmate, Joshua Redman, for a new album due out in september called Nearness If you aren't familiar with Mehldau, he is a virtuosic piano player who has dabbled in solo, trio, and big band jazz compositions. Last year he released an excellent compendium of live solo tracks from the last decade that includes "covers" of bands like the beatles, radiohead, and nirvana with extensive and intricate vamping on the melodies. I highly recommend it. Joshua Redman is a saxophonist who put out my favorite jazz record of last year with the Bad Plus, is a frequent live collaborator with Umphrey's McGee, and has played with a laundry list of jazz, blues, and pop greats. The previously collaborated in 2010 on Highway Rider, a jazz album with chamber orchestra.
the first single of their new collab is a charlie parker song called ornithology

From Stereogum:
"A few months ago, M.C. Taylor revealed that a new Hiss Golden Messenger album was due out in October and played a new track, “Happy Day,” from it. Now, the official details behind the release have been announced: It’s called Heart Like A Levee and is out on 10/7. It also comes packaged with a second album, titled Vestapol, that contains eight previously unreleased songs that were recorded by Taylor “in various motels on the road and at his home in Durham, NC.” Listen to the album’s lead single, “Biloxi,” and read a statement from Taylor about the album’s creation below."
The writing of the songs that became Heart Like a Levee started in a hotel room in Washington, DC, in January of 2015 during a powerful storm that darkened the East Coast. At that time I was feeling—more acutely than I had ever felt before—wrenched apart by my responsibilities to my family and to my music. Forgetting, momentarily, that for me, each exists only with the other. How could I forget? Though maybe my lapse was reasonable: I had just quit my job, the most recent and last, in a series of dead-end gigs stretching back 20 years, with the vow that my children would understand their father as a man in love with his world and the inventor of his own days. They would be rare in that regard. And then—driven by monthly bills and pure fear—I left for another tour, carrying a load of guilt that I could just barely lift. But in that snowy hotel room I found the refrain that became my compass: I was a dreamer, babe, when I set out on the road; but did I say I could find my way home?
In the spirit of telling and not just showing I will tell you I really enjoy this song and look forward to the album's release.

So no one saw fit to mention in here that Dinosaur Jr spliced all the guitar solos from their new album together and posted as a single on Spotify? WTF are you people good for?
New Regina Spektor album releases at the end of September. September is going to be crazy. New Wilco, Local Natives, Phantogram, Regina Spektor, Jenny Hval, Pixies, MIA, The Head and the Heart, etc.
Not only is Blue Mountain (out Sept. 30) his first new album in a decade, but it also represents the first big batch of songwriting he's done in 30 years. It's billed as an emotional look back at time he'd spent in rural Wyoming as a teenager. There are references to cowboys, as well as acoustic guitars and the kind of looseness you might hear around a campfire under a blanket of stars.
The first track to be released from the album was written in collaboration with Josh Ritter. "Only A River" is an emotional reflection on life that references the 19th-century American folk song "Shenandoah."
The instrumentation on Thee Oh Sees' new track Crawl Out From The Fall Out (which is a fucking great song name, by the way) sounds unbelievably like a Yo La Tengo song.

Want.
In a new interview with Spin, Big Boi has said that he and Killer Mike are working on a joint EP. He said it’ll come out after his next solo record–the follow-up to 2012’s Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors, which he says is “halfway done.” He clarified, “We’ve been entertaining the idea for a long time and finally got enough songs to where we just said the other night that we’re gonna do it.”
Vancouver Sleep Clinic released a new song for the first time in like 2 years. It's really good, file next to Volcano Choir/Bon Iver. Seems like he's getting ready to release an album per his Facebook.
Nicolas Jaar Launches Mysterious Radio Network The site features various channels, which the user can access by typing in a number between 0 and 333. Interestingly, the only channels that work are multiples of three. (Channel 0 also works.) When the user types in a number that’s not a multiple of three, it rounds up to the nearest multiple. For example, Channel 61 becomes 63.
Each channel features unique artwork, and some station titles appear to reference his work: “Pomegranates in the sky” ties to last year’s Pomegranates, while “Aesthetic of Resistance or Resistance” alludes to the title of a book about his father’s art and work. Icons at the top of the page trigger new noises, bring up all the station names, and bring up a display indicating time spent on the site. In his statement, Jaar is coy about the platform, writing, “I will let you guys discover what this is on your own.” He does, however, recommend checking out channels 324, 195, 108, 243, 225, and 33, and ending with 333.
