A mopetastic autumn for Drag City
I think I take back what I said about not listening to much depressing music anymore. I've had "Your Wedding" from Smog's Julius Caesar in my head for a couple of weeks now. I finally listened to it this morning, and it was a lot like scratching a mosquito bite.
With that in mind, there's good news coming out of Chicago via Drag City. Not one but two of that label's maudlin heavyweights are dropping new platters on November 15th.
Bonnie "Prince" Billy is set to release a double (!) live album called Summer in the Southeast. The label's website describes it as "a crashing, raging collection," which is actually pretty well in keeping with the one live experience I've had with the Bonnie one, when he played Master and Everyone straight through as total rock record. Anyway, angryape has the tracklist, and now so will you:
01. Master & Everyone
02. Pushkin
03. Blokbuster
04. Wolf Among Wolves
05. May It Always Be
06. Break Of Day
07. A Sucker’s Evening
08. Nomadic Revery
09. I See A Darkness
10. O Let It Be
11. Beast For Thee
12. Death To Everyone
13. Even If Love
14. I Send My Love To You
15. Take However Long You Want
16. Madeleine Mary
17. Ease Down The Road
The other bundle of glum that drops on 11/15 is from Edith Frost. All we know so far is that it's called It's a Game, and that it's the first anyone has heard from her in a long time, save for a few shows here and there, and her downloadable demos record remember?).
Also, in case anyone was wondering, Xiu Xiu were great, and the Graham Smith/Wooden Wand/Ali Roberts show was also exemplary. Maybe more on that later, and maybe not.
