John Vanderslice, "Too Much Time" 7"

Dead Oceans will be releasing the "Too Much Time" 7" on October 6th. "Moon Rocks" will be on the flip side. Pre-order now and you will receive an instant download for both songs.

One of the great things about John Vanderslice is the different variations of his songs that he freely makes available. Just take a look at the music section on his official site. In that same spirit, here is a gorgeous demo take for "Too Much Time":

John recently visited KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic. If you missed it (or only heard the audio), here you are:



Romanian Names is out right now.

John Vanderslice, Romanian Names

The always excellent (and super likable) John Vanderslice has made the switch from his longtime home at Barsuk to Dead Oceans for his upcoming new album Romanian Names. You can listen to two new songs from the album below.

"Fetal Horses"

"Too Much Time"

Romanian Names is out on May 19th, but if you pre-order now you'll get an instant download of the album PLUS a limited edition custom made wallet with a snippet of the unused master tape (if you are one of the first 100). It's not every day you get something like that with a pre-order.


He'll also be launching a North American tour around the same time the new album is released. Check out the dates over on his official site.
