Get Him Eat Him: New songs & forthcoming album
Get Him Eat Him's new album "Arms Down" comes out next week, and we at ICTH can't be more excited. I was really diggin' "Geography Cones", their first full-length...and the two new songs they've released so far have been downright d-lightful. They've invited a few guests to join them on this release like Zach Condon (Beirut), Charlie Bissell (The Wrens), and Chris Brown (Broken Social Scene). Exciting!

More new songs from Minus Story! It must be new song day!!
Minus Story's newest album "My Ion Truss" will grace our collective ears on June 19th, until then they've been gracious enough to post a few tracks from it. After hearing these tidbits, it's been nothing but bliss covering this here hillside. My only gripe is that there is no Atlanta/Athens tour date. And they're playing with Shearwater?! This is one of my dream shows!! Please, please play somewhere even remotely close to Atlanta. Please.

New song from The New Pornographers!
Those crazy Canadians, The New Pornographers, have put up a brand-spankin' new song from their forthcoming album "Challengers". It's about half way in between a slow number & a full-on rocker, slowly building layers through the whole song. A.C. & Neko sing on this one, perfectly harmonized as always. Ah, I really love this band...I can't wait for the full length in August.
Don't forget to pick up one those limited edition screenprints at their webstore: it includes a copy of the new album + other surprise goodies all for the price of the poster!!
