New music from The Love Language

Libraries - out July 13 on MergeThe Love Language's self-titled debut was one of my top-5 albums of 2009.  The lo-fi garage soul sound is right in my wheelhouse, and the super-catchy melodies came along just at the right time to drag me out of winter's dreariness.  The album is still in regular rotation and Providence, Lalita, Sparxx, etc still get my toes tapping and head bobbing uncontrollably.  So, it is with great pleasure and excitement that I post NEW MUSIC from The Love Language!

Heart to Tell is the first single off The Love Language's upcoming Merge debut, Libraries.  This picks up right where the last album left off - the mop-top melodies are still there, as is the driving percussion.  The production is slightly cleaner than the last record, though it still has the rough-around-the edges sound that gave the last record so much of its charm.

In other news, a Love Language / Let's Wrestle split 7" will be available on Record Store Day!

Check out this behind-the-scenes video of the making of Libraries.  Surprised to see that, like the debut record, Stuart McLamb again plays everything himself (though this with the benefit of a producer and studio).  Can't effing wait to hear this record:
