An Album Of The Year?

It's horribly grey outside, so what better to brighten the day than discovering news of an up-coming album from Tim Kasher's side-project-gone-doolally The Good Life. According to Pitchfork the fourth album Help Wanted Nights is pencilled in for a September release. Tim has apparently upped sticks and moved to LA with a screenplay, also entitled Help Wanted Nights. As if the man doesn't have enough to do already. No word yet on what the album will sound like, although Kasher says the play, about a guy's car breaking down in a strange town and spending a week in a local bar (the guy not the car), helped inspire the music. At least the poor guy hasn't gone through another sticky breakup, although it has to be said, Black Out and Album Of The Year are some of the most up-beat songs about love gone sour I have ever heard.

On that note...

::mp3:: Early Out The Gate

I wonder if Tim will grow that lovely beard back again? Here's hoping... ::sigh::
