Tara Jane O'Neil Tours the World
She's huge in Slovenia

According to Quarterstick Records, former Rodan bassist Tara Jane O'Neil will be touring the U.S. and Europe in support of her second solo full-length, In the Sun Lines, which was released on September 10th. O'Neil plays a good number of the instruments on the album, with help from notables such as Rachel Grimes (Rachel's) as well as some lesser-known friends. Trying her best to be unclassifiable, the new album is a mixture of delicate, floating melodies and an ever-present pop sensibility. "Sure," the label claims, "it takes time to sink in, but so does sunscreen." At least sunscreen prevents melanoma.

O'Neil will be joined by ex-Come frontwoman Thalia Zedek on the first leg of the trip and selected European dates, and by Pernice Brothers, Stereo Total, Momus, and K on various dates toward the end of the U.S. tour. Dates:

Atombombpocketknife to Release New LP
Ace news team apparently unaware that it was reviewed yesterday

In a throwback to mid-80s Cold War tension, Southern Records artists Atombombpocketknife are releasing their second full-length album, God Save the ABPK, on October 1st. Despite the title, the new disc isn't a rant against the stagnant British Royal Family, nor is it the narrative of band members Allison Hollihan, Justin Sinkovitch, Che Arthur, and Matt Espy's coming to faith in Jesus Christ. Rather, according to the official Southern website, ABPK "emits an immediately detectable dark and disturbing mood" on this album, which is certainly better than emitting a noxious skunk-like odor. Like their debut, Alpha Sounds, God Save the ABPK was recorded by Greg Norman (Andrew Bird's Bowl of Fire, 90 Day Men, Tren Brothers). Mixing duties were performed by Mike Lust (ex-Lustre King).
