I have been steadily making my way through this week’s solid list of new releases. It’s hard to dislike the highly anticipated Monsters of Folk album featuring M. Ward, Jim James & Conor Oberst. It’s got some super catchy songs that warrant repeated listens. Above, get a look into studio through this great video set to “The Right Place.”

Update: Monsters of Folk performed “Say Please” on Conan last night.

What great news to send everybody into the weekend! Monsters of Folk – comprised of Bright Eyes’ Conor Oberst and Mike Mogis, My Morning Jacket’s Jim James and singer/songwriter M.Ward – will be releasing their first collaborative album on September 22nd.

I can remember seeing this collection (sans Mogis) on Austin City Limits years ago. During that performance they demonstrated what their collaborative songwriting would sound like. According the the press release, “The songs – some road-worn fables, some intimate and intricate with electronic elements, some woozy and sun-soaked – are everything one expects from these four musical minds collaborating together. The album exudes a warm, organic spaciousness, filled by brilliant choruses, intoxicating harmonies and effortless melodies, as each member brings his own strengths to the table to create one perfect whole.”

1. Dear God (sincerely M.O.F.)
