Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks, Mirror Traffic (out 8/23)
Yeah, the Jicks still count as a Portland band even with Malkmus moving to Germany. And this disc has been a long time coming.
Blind Pilot, We Are the Tide (out 9/13)
The much-anticipated sophomore record from these PDX folk-pop folks is a bigger, broader affair with lots of radio potential.
Blitzen Trapper, American Goldwing (out 9/13)
Blitzen Trapper’s Dylan-esque ballads have proven quite popular on the national scale, but they still fit a couple psychedelic freak-outs on the new record.
Richmond Fontaine, The High Country (out 9/20)
It has been two years since Richmond Fontaine’s incredible last record, We Used to Think the Freeway Sounded Like a River. This new one is a big fat narrative epic—and real good.
Nurses, Dracula (out 9/20)
Quite simply one of the coolest-sounding records to ever come out of Portland. Nurses are back!
