Monsters Of Folk update

Monsters Of Folk have revealed the cover artwork for their self-titled debut due September 22. It's better than the previous reported artwork but still looks pretty ... shabby to me. Be your own judge, stream 2 tracks from the album at Pitchfork, and get if from your favourite recordstore.

Monsters Of Folk - Monsters Of Folk LP

Update: stream the entire album over at 3voor12 Can't wait to see these guys live, as they'll be playing for 2,5 hours and besides the MOF tracks will also be playing their own material!

I don't even want to know where your head's been these last few years if you have no idea what Monsters Of Folk are all about. For those of you who do, the pre-orders are up for the debut LP by Monsters Of Folk, the allstar collaboration between Conor Oberst, Jim James, M. Ward, and producer Mike Mogis. European buyers can pre-order it ridiculously cheap at http://www.roughtrade.com/, US citizens are as usual best of at http://www.insound.com/

Monsters Of Folk have announced tourdates for both the US and Europe beginning early October. All European dates are in November, I got my tickets already, how about you?

HISTORY OF HEX

Born and raised in the 80s, my first music purchase ever was Metallica's "Kill Em All". After that, Guns N Roses and Maiden followed, to become submerged in the booming hardcore scene and into the likes of Kindred, Biohazard, Congress, Snapcase, Boy Sets Fire, Liar, Culture, Morning Again, etcetera. In the late 90s my attention shifted more towards bands such as Botch, Converge, Coalesce, Cable, Rorschach, Deadguy, Starkweather, Reversal Of Man, Charles Bronson and the likes, as well as all the emobands coming out like Mineral, Elliott, Texas Is The Reason, Cursive, Waxwing, Joshua, etc. Then I got older. Nowadays, my tastes range from Appleseed Cast to Animal Collective, from Black Mountain to Burzum, from Cat Power to Converge, from Damien Jurado to Down, from Earth (hence the name of this blog) to Elliott, from Forensics to Fugazi, from Girls Vs Boys to Grizzly Bear, from Harkonen to Hey Mercedes, from Isis to I Am Kloot, from Jesu to Jucifer, from Karate to Koop, from Liars to Leviathan, from Mineral to Mastodon, from Neurosis to No Warning, from Om to Owls, from Pelican to Phosphorescent, from Q and not U to Quetzal, from Radiohead to Racebannon, from Samothrace to Sunn0)), from These Arms Are Snakes to Two Gallants, from Ulver to Unbroken, from Venetian Snares to Vampire Weekend, from Wolf Parade to Waxwing, from Xiu Xiu to Xasthur, from Yob to Young Widows, from Zombi to Zoroaster. Yeah, that was fun, thanks for asking.
