Is there a Conor Oberst/M. Ward/Jim James mystery project in the making?


So what exactly does Conor Oberst, M. Ward, and My Morning Jacket frontman Jim James have up their sleeves. Wouldn't we like to know? Unfortunately not much is know at this time. Pitchfork broke the news that in a recent Rolling Stones article on My Morning Jacket the famed magazine mentions that the trio are all collaborating on a LP together. Conor and M. Ward have worked together in the past so throwing James in the mix should always had to something really special. More on this as word comes through on the project.

'The Photo Atlas' to record new album in July


For those out there who have never heard of TThe Photo Atlas, let me fill you in with a quick breakdown. Formed in 2006 the Denver native band released their first full length record in 2007. Imagine if was still around and was still creating organized chaos, then throw in a dab of Fugazi, and you will have a better idea of the direction The Photo Atlas is headed in. I found thier album No, No, Never to be one of the best records of 2007 and feel they really have something going for them. As of right now, the band are writing a handful of new tunes and plan on playing a few in their next few upcoming live shows before heading back to the studio to lay down some tracks at the end of July. They have even leaked out a new cut in the last month or so entitled 'Class of 99' which can be heard here.

Wondering where the hell the new 'International Noise Conspiracy' record is? Yeah, me too.

The International Noise Conspiracy has been pretty quiet these days. Their last record, Armed Love, was released way back in 2004 and was a bit of a step back for many. Not that it was a bad album, it is just the simple fact that the previous efforts were just so damn great. Talk of a new record date back to 2006 and recording was done sometime in 2007. Coined , the new record was awaiting final word from producer Rick Rubin and his label American Recordings. Flash to half way through 2008 and still no word on when the record will hit the shelves.

For now fans may want to savor on TINC's lead singer, Dennis Lyxzen's long running side project, which has gone through a bit of a change as of late. Newly named and linguistically changed, the band was originally known as The Lost Patrol, then The Lost Patrol Band, and now Invasionen (which translates to The Invasion). They also now sing in Lyxyen's native language, Swedish. After a bit of a lawsuit problem with an American band of the same name, the former Refused vocalist decided to go in an entirely different direction with his newly redesigned. Three demo tracks from Invasionen can now be found here for your sensory pleasures. In my opinion, the Swedish lyrics and the more rockin' sound gives the band a whole new feel.
