Sweet.

I am *so* glad I didn't hang myself in the bathroom this morning.

Great news, as always Moshe!

The first thing I read since joining is news about a new Jim O'Rourke album. I'd also read somewhere that he quit music to concentrate on film so this really excites me. Eureka is one of my favorite albums.

New Jim O'Rourke Album, Visitor, Releases August 31 on Drag City

July 14, 2009 6:47 p.m. by Jenna Humphrey

A disco ball melting into a kitchen chair seems appropriate enough cover art for the eclectic Jim O’Rourke’s new album, set to release on August 31. He is also a guitarist, mixer, experimentalist and producer, but this Drag City release will spotlight his songwriting. It is his first release on the label since 2001, when he released I’m Happy, And I’m Singing, And a 1,2,3,4. The new album is entitled Visitor, and is more of the instrumental vein according to the label. It consists of a single track.

O’Rourke was a bassist and guitarist for Sonic Youth, and he also helped with Wilco’s legendary Yankee Foxtrot Hotel. He has worked with Thurston Moore, Joanna Newsom, Smog, Beth Orton, Merzbow and Fennesz. He recorded Visitor from Tokyo, where he lives.

Chris Lawrence · 07.18.2009, 04:25 PM

so is the claim via his label in the initial post that it's more 'song-oriented' somewhat undermined by the comment that it's a single instrumental track?

toxic johnny · 07.18.2009, 05:48 PM

Whether it is song orientated or instrumental I'm very excited....

SonicBebs · 07.19.2009, 09:28 AM

maybe they mean more organic insrtuments (not that laptop's and programmers aren't valid organic istruments, but some people still define things like that...?)

hiland · 08.25.2009, 01:40 PM

preview online online at drag city....
fuckkkkkkkkkkkkk.

BrianCotts · 08.26.2009, 11:58 PM

Glad he's back but I find the "Photo by Kahimi Karie" part weird. Is this the avant j-pop Kahimi Karie who hung out and recorded with Momus in the late 1990s/eary 2000s?

BrianCotts · 08.27.2009, 12:00 AM

I guess it is. I should have just read the above interview.

Newfoundland · 08.27.2009, 01:19 PM

There is a short clip on the Drag City site.. Sounds really nice.

hiland · 08.27.2009, 01:43 PM

beck appeared on one of Kahimi Karie's records.. and jim's been known to play around with her....

Got it yesterday. Confirmation, not the record. Can't wait. Stop.

greedrex · 08.29.2009, 03:48 PM

it has leaked...
will get this asap though, can't wait.
artwork has got the same kind of artwork as all other jimo' pop albums (back cover art is pretty similar to front)

barry swedgin · 08.29.2009, 03:55 PM

Leaked, huh?? I'm gonna get it, guilt-free. I ordered the LP!
