One of my favorite bands,
...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead, is coming out with not only a new album in thine new year, but they are also releasing an EP, Festival Thyme, in October. This is much anticipated for me and for alot of their fans because their last one was... not up to snuff. Even though i liked it, even the band has come to admit they threw it out there because they had to. They needed the paycheck. So needless to say I'm psyched for their nearfuture endeavours and recently the all glory that is pitchfork.com caught up with frontman Conrad Keely to discuss all that shit. Amongst other things, like switching and creating a record label and working with Yeasayer.
((((I am especially excited on his recent delvings into theophany, or holy music, the idea of music in the afterlife or that music has a deeper ramafications and connections than we can understand and whatnot. It's something I know he's been interested in for a while and its dope to see him finally actualize it on an album and in song after touching on it previously (Another Morning Stoner, and alot of the underlying subject matter on Source Tags & Codes))))
