Japanese Breakfast

Here's another album while we wait for the ACL lineups to come out.  I'll wait until the time slots are announced before getting started unless they take forever and we start running out of time.

This is the moniker of Michelle Zauner who spent some time in bands in Philadelphia before returning home to Eugene, Oregon to care for her mother.  While there she recorded her own music and released an album.  She was signed by Dead Oceans for this her second album.  It's getting great reviews.

I like the 1st half of the album but the 2nd half kind of slows down.  The first song reminds me of War on Drugs.

She's playing Barracuda on Friday September 15th.  Probably won't go on until midnight or later.

Here's the album on Amazon

Hearya, a blog I follow, reviewed the debut album of this Brooklyn band and gave it thumbs up so I gave it a listen.  I like it.  Mellow guitar sounds like old REM, Modern Lovers, and Real Estate. The song attached has a Joy Division sound to it.  Good stuff.

They are on a limited tour and Austin is one of their stops  They'll be at Cheer Up Charlie's this Wednesday.  Lots of music that day.
