There is no shortage of exciting indie releases this September and the stack is already growing high for October.
Among the most talked about, and triumphant indie releases this September is Austin’s indie sensations Okkervil River’s
Rock critic Will Sheff called The Stand Ins and its 2007 counterpart The Stage Names “essentially a fat-free double album. They’re also striking in-progress documents of a band that continues to sharpen its bookish but brutally honest indie rock with every disc.”
Other artists and bands releasing new work this month include The Broken West, Kings of Leon, Woodlands, I Heart Hiroshama, Broadfield Marchers and Mason Proper, among many others. (Check back as this page will be updated as new music arrives).
“Auctioneer” by Broken West from the forthcoming album Now or Heaven, released on September 9, 2008 via Merge Records.
MP3: “I Wasn’t Made For Fighting” by Woodlands from their album Heart Attack on Paper Bag Records. This is a great song for those of you who enjoy trip-hop trance mixed with rock-like interludes and vocals.
