Acclaimed songwriter Dallas Green and his alter ego CITY AND COLOUR are back with a new album. The follow-up to 2013’s The Hurry and the Harm goes by the name If I Should Go Before You and is set for a release on October 9 via Dine Alone Records. Green recorded the record together with his touring band which really shaped the sound of the album.

He explains: ‘They inspired me to want to create new music, just to create it with them – I don’t think I wrote these songs for the band, per se, but I certainly wrote them because of the band.’ The CITY AND COLOUR mastermind furthermore adds: ‘Anybody who has seen us play will understand that this is the best representation of what we do live that we have ever recorded. I was so excited about being able to make and record an album with these guys that it just flowed. I felt so confident about their abilities to make all of my ideas come true.’

A first track off the album called Woman is already up for stream below. Don’t forget to read our enjoyable interview with Green back from 2013.

It looks like you can’t trust songwriter Justin Vernon and his recent statements about the comeback of his project BON IVER. First, he announced last weekend’s Eaux Claires Music Festival performance as the start of a new cycle for his band, then he later stated that he’s not really sure if they will actually put out new music in the near future and now comes actually new music.

The performance last weekend marked the first live appearance by BON IVER in three years. And during their set the band actually played two new tracks in the encore, raising up the hope for a potential follow-up to 2011’s Bon Iver, Bon Iver album. As always in such cases, various mobile phones captured the world premiere of these songs. Witness it right here.
