KXCI’s 5 – Sept.

Tucson’s community radio station, at 91.3FM and  KXCI.org, spins tracks from the following new albums in September.

Cat Power, Sun (Matador)
Chan Marshall’s first album of original material in six years shows a deeper, darker approach in her songwriting, including an epic song about bullying with guest Iggy Pop.

Bob Dylan, Tempest (Columbia)
Dylan’s 35th studio release is another foray into the blues music that has informed much of his songwriting over the years.

The Avett Brothers, The Carpenter (Universal)
The indie-folk rockers are the latest to get producer Rick Rubin’s treatment, which takes musicians outside their comfort zone to explore new turf – this time, a heavier rock-inspired set of tunes.

Band of Horses, Mirage Rock (Columbia)
Another legendary producer, Glyn Johns, here helps another KXCI favorite flesh out their intentions, this time on a set sure to draw comparisons to classic CSNY.

Tom Tom Club, Downtown Rockers (Nacional)
Their first new release in more than a decade finds them still at the top of their game in terms of the fusion of funk, reggae, and hip hop that they helped pioneer.
