Bon Iver crunches the numbers on 22, A Million

The signs of the fall have began to surface in the form of red and orange leaves, and brisk evening breezes. Signs of new music have also surfaced, and the first batch of the season does not disappoint.
Wisconsin's Bon Iver is creating a buzz with their latest album 22, A Million [September 30, via Jagjaguwar]. Frontman Justin Vernon wrote all ten tracks on the album, most of which contain various looped recording techniques. On the eerie track "10 Death/Breast" Vernon has a message as he proclaims 'love, don't fight it'. Check them out on tour as they roll through Germany, the U.S., France, and the U.K.
Summer is officially behind us and hooded-sweatshirt weather is upon us. As we shift into fall, it's always good to know the iPod is stacked with fresh cuts. The September Playlist makes a good soundtrack for the first bonfire of the season.

Glass Animals explain How To Be A Human Being

Even though the summer is coming to an end, the good times keep rolling on. Summer brought lots of sunshine, endless parties, and of course a big serving of new music.

English indie-rockers Glass Animals are making some waves with their latest album How To Be A Human Being [August 26th, via Caroline Records]. The eleven tracks maintain a quirky uptempo beat that will keep the interest of all the late night guests. On the slinky "Youth", the band finds itself at its best with their familiar tribal rock sound. Check them out this fall as their tour slides through Canada, the U.S., the U.K., and Germany.

As we look back at all the fun adventures of the summer and get ready for the brisk nights of autumn, it's always nice to know the mp3 is reloaded with fresh tunes. The August Playlist makes a good soundtrack for the last pool party of the season.

August 2016 Playlist

2. Empire Of The Sun - "High And Low"

3. Green Day - "Bang Bang"
