Still Waitin’ for The New Year

As Pete’s taking the day off to recover from the Dallas Observer Music Awards — and back in my day, we got an hour, tops — thought I’d sneak this musical note by the goalkeeper. Because — surprise, surprise — it’s a New Year notice, yet another in advance of the third album due from Matt and Bubba Kadane and the fellers on September 9 from Touch and Go. This is the second of three teasers — this one, a soothing balm on a scorching morn. A better version’s available here; so too are fall tour dates, including the September 18 kick-off at the Granada Theater. –Robert Wilonsky
