Ra Ra Riot Announce New Album!



Yeah,,, read the good news from their publicist bellow.

Ra Ra Riot The Orchard
Sophomore Album Out August 24th on Barsuk Records

Syracuse NY's most internationally beloved export Ra Ra Riot will issue its second full length album, The Orchard, on August 24th in the U.S. via Barsuk Records.

 Produced by Ra Ra Riot and Andrew Maury and mixed by Chris Walla (with one assist from Vampire Weekend's Rostam Batmanglij), The Orchard is 10 more stunning offerings of the bittersweet and endearing Ra Ra Riot blend that Entertainment Weekly likened to "Unforgettable Fire-era U2."

 The Orchard follows up Ra Ra Riot's debut album, The Rhumb Line, which was released two years earlier (almost to the day) and immediately hailed as "a blissful chamber-pop breakthrough" in a 4-star Rolling Stone review (who named it the #38 album of 2008). Time Out New York touted it as "classically pretty, but without getting all fussy about it."  The Rhumb Line debuted at #109 on the U.S. album chart and went on to sell in excess of 60,000 copies as the band's live draw grew exponentially.

Ra Ra Riot is vocalist Wes Miles, bassist Mathieu Santos, guitarist Milo Bonacci, violinist Rebecca Zeller and cellist Alexandra Lawn. The Orchard marks the band's first time being joined in the studio by drummer Gabriel Duquette, who has toured with the band since the release of The Rhumb Line.

The Ex_Girlfriends Club

is a mixture of noise with harsh punk rock sounds, kind of if The Jesus and Mary Chain fronted by Iggy Pop. But (IMHO) they're trying a bit too hard... but, but, but nice try thought.

Mike Patton's Masterpiece of Classic Italian Songs Re-imagined, Mondo Cane, Released Today

Mondo Cane (Dig)

 He's the guy from Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Fantomas etc...  doing another madness.
Mike Patton's Mondo Cane, a new entity for the inimitable vocalist that marries his instrument-like voice with a 40-piece orchestra, choir and band, hit stores today with its debut LP.
The LA Weekly calls the eleven-song album, "the true Patton pop record that his acolytes have been waiting for all these years" and The New Yorker described the Italian-language album as "operatic," "buttery" and "soaring."   The album finds the singer paying homage to other songwriters, a first for the front man of bands as original and influential as Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Tomahawk and Fantômas.  Discussing the project, Patton explains, "My purpose in revisiting these pieces is not to relive the past, not for nostalgia, but more to illustrate through modern and adventurous interpretation exactly how vital and important this music still is."  
 The collection includes The Blackmen's "Urlo Negro," a late 60's song about the Civil Rights struggle, to Gino Paoli's "Senza Fine," made famous by Connie Francis, and on to Patton's beloved Morricone who penned "Deep Down" for the film Danger: Diabolik in 1968.
