KXCI’s 5 – October
Tucson’s community radio station, at 91.3FM and KXCI.org, spins tracks from the following new albums in October.
Iris is back with her first album of new songs in 16 years. This Americana collection runs the gamut from heart wrenching gospel to dark country songs about family.
A.C. Newman, Shut Down The Streets (Matador)
The New Pornographers front man is back with another solo release, which allows more space for intimate, personal lyrics. Recorded in Woodstock, several cuts include longtime collaborator Neko Case.
Van Morrison, Born to Sing: No Plan B (Blue Note)
Morrison’s 35th album sounds like his most political – but he claims to merely be observing the world we live in, not judging it.
Ben Gibbard, Former Lives (Barsuk)
The Death Cab for Cutie front man is out with his first proper solo release; the title suggests that he’s closing the door on past loves, lost loves, and mistakes on the road of life.
Rupa and the April Fishes, Build (self-released)
Their third album (and first primarily in English) finds the international collective of musicians embracing a call to battle social demoralization and work together for a better planet.
