Small Black Give First Details of Recording Their New Record

Last year Small Black released their debut self-titled EP that became a web sensation. Particularly the song “Despicable Dogs” became a golden gem in the pantheon of electro-pop, helped by a truly exceptional music video. Small Black toured the world before settling back to their east coast environs to begin the recording of their new album. The band escaped the hustle and bustle of their Brooklyn homes in favor of the sleepy suburbs of Delaware and proceeded to dive deep into the studio. Stereogum reports on the recording sessions today in the latest installment of their ongoing “Progress Report” series. You can get all the details on what Small Black have been up to and a few hints at the details of their first full-length album right HERE. Stay tuned for more news on the new album in the weeks to come.

Black Mountain’s Next Album – New Details Emerge

Happy almost-Memorial-Day-Weekend, JagJagublog readers!  We’re ready for a long weekend of remembering our fallen servicewomen and men, the Indy 500 and relaxin.  Before all that, though, we should think about Canada.

In the coming weeks we will be spilling our guts about the exciting music Black Mountain is unleashing this fall.  Their warm-up tour is in place (see tour dates), and Amber just did an interview with Jessica Suarez over at Stereogum for an official Progress Report.  She gets heavy into what it was like working with two different producers on the record.  Fun stuff for Black Mountain geeks, which we are.

Have a safe and happy weekend, and we’ll see everyone on Tuesday!
