New Release/Tour Dates: Lou Barlow – Goodnight Unknown (10/6, Merge)

Lou Barlow has been reaping the benefits of the band reunion trend as of late via Dinosaur Jr. and Sebadoh. But that doesn’t mean he hasn’t been busy at home working on new tunes of his own. Merge will release Goodnight Unknown on Oct. 6, a collection of songs that he describes as “a cross between my later work with Folk Implosion and my earlier work with Sebadoh…to my ears, anyway.”

The tracklist:

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
