Coheed and Cambria: Year of the Black Rainbow 4/13

COHEED AND CAMBRIA SET TO RELEASE YEAR OF THE BLAK RAINBOW APRIL 13

Coheed and Cambria

Coheed and Cambria have confirmed April 13 as the release date for Year of the Black Rainbow, their heavily anticipated fifth studio album. The eagerly awaited prequel to The Amory Wars tetralogy, Year of the Black Rainbow will be released by Columbia Records in both a standard format and a deluxe edition including a 352-page Year of the Black Rainbow novel, penned by the band’s Claudio Sanchez and New York Times Bestselling author Peter David.

Presale orders for the deluxe edition of Year of the Black Rainbow can be placed here.

In addition to the CD and novel, the deluxe edition will include a “Making Of” DVD featuring studio and interview footage as well as a Coheed and Cambria Black Card, which will allow fans early entrance to shows, discounts on band merchandise and exclusive downloads and offers. Sneak peeks at the new album’s artwork and other exclusive visuals can be seen here.

Year of the Black Rainbow is produced by Atticus Ross (Nine Inch Nails, Jane’s Addiction) and Joe Baressi (Queens of the Stone Age, Tool). According to Sanchez, “They have helped us evolve our sound to be more powerful and dynamic than ever and we think it’s definitely our best work to date.”

The new record also features the studio debut of Coheed and Cambria drummer Chris Pennie, who has been playing alongside Sanchez, guitarist Travis Stever and bassist Michael Robert Todd since 2007, and was featured on Neverender: Children of the Fence Edition, the CD/DVD box set documentation of the fall/winter 2008 four-night stands during which the band played its catalogue in its entirety, one album per night, in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and London.

Year Of The Black Rainbow‘s release will be preceded by a series of eight intimate club gigs on the Northeastern U.S., four of which are already sold out. Earl Greyhound supports.

Lou Barlow: Album & Tour

Lou Barlow Readies His Solo Release And Preps For Tour


Lou Barlow

On October 6, Merge Records will release Lou Barlow‘s new album, Goodnight Unknown. In the four years since his career-redefining, mostly acoustic record Emoh, Lou Barlow has reunited with Dinosaur Jr. and reissued three of Sebadoh‘s classic albums. But as the brilliant new Goodnight Unknown illustrates, he’s hardly living in the past. Borrowing the live-band energy of Dinosaur Jr. and the stylistic reach of Sebadoh, Barlow has built on Emoh‘s full production and written a set of immediate, melodic pop songs that Lou describes as, “a cross between my later work with Folk Implosion and my earlier work with Sebadoh… to my ears, anyway.”

From the surging opening track “Sharing” to the surprisingly soulful performances on “The Right,” Goodnight Unknown benefits from Barlow’s tunefulness and his decision to record the record relatively quickly, with old friends and new. The MelvinsDale Crover adds inspired drum work throughout, and Goodnight Unknown‘s urgent sound owes just as much to frequent Barlow collaborator Imaad Wasif (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Alaska!). The record’s considerable power also stems from the new talents on board, including producer Andrew Murdock and Lisa Germano.

Lou Barlow + The Missingmen will be on tour throughout the fall opening for Dinosaur Jr. The Missingmen are guitarist Tom Watson and drummer Raul Morales. Lou “stole” them from Mike Watt for this tour, and is excited to be bringing you the full band experience of Goodnight Unknown.

Goodnight Unknown Track Listing:

1. Sharing

2. Goodnight Unknown

3. Too Much Freedom

4. Faith In Your Heartbeat

5. The One I Call

6. The Right

7. Gravitate

8. I’m ThinkingÂ…

9. One Machine, One Long Fight

10. Praise

11. Take Advantage

12. Modesty

13. Don’t Apologize
