Up and Coming Releases for Spring

Spring is nearly upon us, and there is an abundance of new music being released to help us all smoothly transition from the cold, and into the sunshine.

This past week, Minus the Bear announced details on their Dangerbird Records debut, entitled OMNI. The album drops on May 4th, and it was recorded by  Grammy Award winning producer, Joe Chiccarelli (My Morning Jacket, The White Stripes). You can grab the first single off of OMNI called “My Time” for free right here, and pre-order it as well on the same page.

The Black Keys have also just announced their follow-up to their 2008 effort Attack & Release, which is being named Brothers. Brothers is going to be released on May 18th. The band has also just released a few new tour dates for the up and coming months, which will lead up to the release of Brothers. Those can be found here.

Band of Horses will release Infinite Arms, on an as of yet unnamed label, and is also due out on May 18th. Infinite Arms was produced by Phil Ek (Fleet Foxes, The Shins). The band has just announced their Spring touring plans for the next few months, which can all be found here.

So get excited for the warm weather, and all of these excellent releases.
