Upcoming Album of the Week (Ending September 23)

Ezra Keonig of Vampire Weekend has dropped some new stuff! No, it's not a new album (at least, not yet), but his own animé series, New Yokio, on Netflix. I'm actually watching it as I write. While it's cool to see Koenig expanding his creative output, I am eager for new music from Vampire Weekend.

Supposedly, they are working on a new album now. Once we get an announcement, check it out on my Upcoming Releases page!

This week, we got the announcement of Christopher Owens' newest band, Curls, and their debut EP, Vante.

Owens was the frontman for the Girls and released two incredible albums with them in 2009 and 2011. The band split up in 2012 and Owens continued on as a solo artist, releasing two solo records.

Owens teams up with Cody Rhodes and Luke Bacé for the new band (not sure if the rhyming is intentional), which was announced on Monday. He also released a new song, "Emotion".

Vante is set to be released on November 7.
