JAPANESE BREAKFAST

Japanese Breakfast has a few dates on the horizon, including a show in Hawaii on Friday and the somewhat controversial Amazon Web Services-presented Intersect Festival in Las Vegas in December. She’s also announced a couple Northeast shows in the spring, including Ithaca, NY and Providence, RI. All dates are here.

HORSE JUMPER OF LOVE

Boston’s dreamy, somnambulistic Horse Jumper of Love released So Divine earlier this year and spent some time on the road supporting Duster. Now they’re set for a short headlining tour in December, including stops in Philly, DC, Columbus, and Brooklyn (Alphaville on 12/14). Head here for all dates and stream So Divine below:

J.R. BOHANNON

J.R. Bohannon, who has played as part of Torres, Gold Dime and records as Ancient Ocean, will release Dusk, his first album under his own name this Friday via Shahzad Ismaily’s figureight records. Most of the record is delicate guitar instrumentals, but “The Sorcerer’s Hand,” which features drummer Greg Fox (Ben Frost, Colin Stetson) and bassist Luke Stewart, gets into doom folk territory. JR will be on tour with Health&Beauty starting next week, including shows in DC, Philly, Chapel Hill, Winston Salem, Athens (GA), Asheville, Nashville, Louisville, Columbus, CHicago and Bloomington, IL. Head here for all dates.
