John Vanderslice Announces New Album White Wilderness

John Vanderslice is due for a new album, titled White Wilderness, via Dead Oceans on Jan. 11 in the new year. He's collaborated with the Magik*Magik Orchestra with Minna Choi at the helm.

You can preview the new song "Sea Salt" over at NPR's All Songs Considered. It's everything we've grown to love about the music of John Vanderslice, but with a fresh air of spontanaeity, grandiosity and symphony. Not in an orachstral, pretentious way, but in a way that fills out his music with explosions of strings and horns and piano.

Mr. Vanderslice and the Magik*Magik Orchestra recorded the album over a three-day period to give it a fresh, less-toiled-over sound. As a result, it sounds more live and spontaneous.

Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds Will Release A New Album Next Year

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds are planning new material for 2011, with the release of a new full-length album. It will be the follow up to Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! from 2008. Exciting news, but nothing has been done for the album yet.

"I haven't written anything yet, but that's not how I go about things anyway. I have the starting date for the next record and that's when I go into the office and start it. I'm not doing that until I've finished the Grinderman tour, which is amazing. The band is something else," said Nick when talking to Spinner.

He writes his music in an office? That's completely not the vibe I'd imagined for Mr. Nick Cave to operate under.
