Sound Alert 19 October 2011 | 0 Comments

Did we mention we’re excited about this record? I guess we did. It is his first studio album of all new music in seven years!

Here are some more interesting appetizers. An interview in Pitchfork and a preview of one of the new songs:

“It’s weird talking about really funky old neighborhoods that you haven’t been to in a while. There’s this corner of 9th and Hennepin in Minneapolis.
It used to spell trouble; now it spells sandals and yogurt.”
