New in 2017

Arbouretum, "Song of the Rose" (just out March 24)

I wonder what Summer will hold for new releases. So far, 2017 has been a killer year for Music :)

Happy Listening!

Saw a press release today that Dean Wareham's Luna has a new album of cover songs and an EP of instrumentals coming out in September. First release since 2004. Luna is great if you aren't familiar with them. Kind of a Velvet Underground hip dreampop New York vibe.

Here is the first single from the Dream Syndicates’ first album since 1988 called "How Did I find myself Here". Clocking in at 11 minutes, it probably won’t get radio airplay. However, if you like the paisley underground vibe, the new material will be a pleasant reminder of the past.
I also saw today that Steve Winwood has a 4 LP/2 CD package of live recordings from his personal archives coming out in Sept. It includes works from Spencer Davis Group, Blind Faith, Traffic, and Winwood’s solo career. Depending on the recording quality, this should be a good one.

Here is another new release worth noting from Strand of Oaks called "Hard Love". I think that they are from Seattle and remind me of My Morning Jacket, electric Neil Young with a bit of Screaming Trees grunge thrown in. They opened for MMJ this Spring and will open for the Drive-By-Truckers this Fall. This is "Rest Of It". Good one to turn up a bit.
