It's good? I really liked the last one, listened to it often for a year or so, then sort of forgot about them. Didn't Alan Moulder do the last one? Does this one have similar production?
Potential late-career re-defining album coming from DBT this Friday -- "American Band." Song about the NRA, Ferguson, the confederate flag, Robin Williams' suicide, and other sunny subjects.
I listened to the NPR stream last week and while it doesn't match the highs of "Decoration Day" and "The Dirty South," it's better than anything they've done since Brighter Than Creation's Dark.

Ok, I feel like I've said this a lot over the last few months, but I mean it this time. This might be the best album I've heard in 2016. A debut album with the maturity of late era Radiohead. Infectious hooks and lush, layered arrangements. The production has no business being this damn good. I couldn't even pick the best song to make a good first impression. I highly recommend this. Granted, I also like kung fu movies.

I've been luke-warm on DBT but this album is really good.
More new stuff from Mike Smith (I've posted about his synthesizer duo album Transcombobulation a few times in this thread), this time in the form of his new The Mike Smith Company band.
The debut album is called Famous Wildlife Movies and is out October 28 on Smith's All-Set! Editions label. It combines aspects of the Transcombobulation stuff with elements of Mike's old band, Muskox, and then adds a few dashes of Caribbean flavor to make a proggy space-jazz tropicalia stew (there's a word salad style for you).
The first three tracks can be currently streamed on Bandcamp:
(By the way, it's hard to properly compose a post in this thread right now because of VinylGuy's enormous Warpaint image.)

This is my fave track:
I've seen them live through the years and I was always impressed. But last year I saw them open for Alabama Shakes and they were really bad. Just all over the place - I was worried they were finished.
