The New Music

In case you didn’t get to hear Band of Horses play songs off their new album last night at their free show in Toronto, you can now stream Infinite Arms in its entirety here at MuchMusic.com. Click here and enjoy.

Sub Pop is feeling generous these days. After giving away a sampler of new-ish stuff yesterday, they’ve tweeted a giveaway of two Dum Dum Girls songs, one of which can only be found on their recent split 7″ with Male Bonding. Grab it here.

Bootlegging is the old school method of leaking. Titus Andronicus fans are following in the footsteps of Deadheads and Phishheads by putting together “an unofficial, fan-made collection of demos, b-sides, and live tracks during the Airing of Grievances era of Titus Andronicus (pre-2010).” You can also find a bunch of live shows to d/l as well. Get ‘em all by clicking here. And if you haven’t already fallen hard for their new album, The Monitor, like I have, pick it up pronto!

Wow, lots of freebies today. Here’s another. Jarvis Cocker has made an album of “tranquil sounds recorded at various locations run by the Trust. Sounds include waves lapping on the shore, clocks ticking and ducks flapping in water.” About the album, Jarvo says, “I hope this album is a ‘holiday for the ears.’ It’s not really meant to be listened to intently, like a piece of music, but more as something to have on in the background to aid relaxation or contemplation.” So, no wonder it’s free.

Finally, Interpol isn’t giving anything away, but they’ve announced a bunch of tour dates to prove that losing bassist Carlos D isn’t gonna slow them down. Most of them are as the opener for U2’s next leg of the 360° tour, but there are two Canadian shows: Toronto’s Rogers Centre on July 3rd and Montreal’s Hippodrome on July 16th and 17th. Interpol will also play some U2-less, “across-the-border” cities like Rochester and Buffalo on June 21st and 22nd, respectively.
