Just about one week after the issuing of 'Dublin', No Monster Club officially announces new album

This was a fact known since this winter : after the issuing of Dublin, that got reviewed here during the previous week and that was issued on March, 23, another No Monster Club album is on its way. The band told about this fact on various social network earlier this year, saying that after 'Dublin' in March, another No Monster Club full length would be issued during April.

Now things are getting a little more official, since late at night, or early in this morning, the band told on its official Twitter that the new record would be issued next month, would be a solo, old style record with just Bobby singing and playing the guitar, would feature 40 tracks and would be available on 90-minutes audio cassettes.

Since we, the nice folk(s) at Underketing, are in touch with the nice people from Already Dead Tapes, the excellent record label that released earlier pure marvels as Chris Brokaw's album or Fred Thomas/Radiator Hospital's split album, we can say that the label itself would have said that the next No Monster Club release would be available trough them. But beware, in the world of underground music, such things are likely to evolve quickly and secretly, so then this is an information that is only partially trustable - I don't know, maybe the band changed its mind and the cassette will be issued trough other means.

The newest No Monster Club release, "Dublin", already gathered very enthusiastic reviews all over the world. Most notably, their single was the most rated in the previous week's edition of The Irish Times.

(offtopic : and, I have to add, I am fond of the mind-openness of the Irish music media, with a major paper magazine such as the Irish Times reviewing a single from an album that is self-released by the band, self-produced. Such a thing would not be likely to happen in France, where the paper magazines are bound with the mainstream music industry at a very close level, and would never review a self-released recording)

That was a week - Mar, 24 to Mar, 30 2012

Here's the hottest things currently under the spotlights that got featured here :

Matmix released a new video in which he plays the drums with a pianist nammed Tom.

No Monster Club's "Dublin" was reviewed
