JBM, Not Even In July

Shortly after discovering new artist JBM, I discovered that he would be touring with Grocerystowe favorite, AA Bondy. Shortly after that i discovered the two would playing here in Austin on August 13th. I already bought my ticket.

JBM shares a label in the US with Mountain Man (see previous entry). I'm afraid to admit i was not very familiar with Partisan Records until just recently. They're a small label but have a very solid stable of artists including Deer Tick, Dolorean, and the criminally overlooked group the Standard, as well as those previously mentioned. The album, Not Even in July (official release date in July, but you get an immediate download code by pre-ordering it from partisan) is full of slow burners and features warm but disaffected vocals, with some sublimely recorded, rich guitar sounds.
