New Lou Barlow album slated for October release

Dinosaur Jr. and Sebadoh fellow Lou Barlow is set to release his second solo album proper on Domino later this year. In a bizarre twist - OK, maybe not that bizarre - he'll be supporting Dinosaur Jr. on tour this autumn.

The album, the follow-up to Emoh from four years ago, is called Goodnight Unknown and will be released on October 5. The record features Dale Crover - of Melvins fame - on the drums, and was produced by Andrew Murdock.

Barlow said that the album was:

“A cross between my later work with Folk Implosion and my earlier work with Sebadoh…to my ears, anyway.”

He'll be on tour "with" Dinosaur Jr. throughout the Autumn, playing with his backing band the The Missingmen, who are Tom Watson on guitar and Raul Morales on skins.

Track listing as follows:

1. Sharing
2. Goodnight Unknown
3. Too Much Freedom
4. Faith In Your Heartbeat
5. The One I Call
6. The Right
7. Gravitate
8. I’m Thinking…
9. One Machine, One Long Fight
10. Praise
11. Take Advantage
12. Modesty
13. Don’t Apologize
14. One Note Tone

So, yeah...thats Goodnight Unknown from Lou Barlow, on Domino from October 5.
