I just wanted to spotlight this new album from what is quickly becoming one of my favorite working indie bands. 
 
While their debut album, Album, was a bit rough around the edges, it showcased a new band with a original voice and a solid grasp of evocative pop songwriting. Their follow-up Broken Dreams Club EP provided a glimpse of a band truly refining their sound, as the songwriting got tighter and Christopher Owens really coming into his own as a lyricist. 
 
The new record shows them much more polished and mature as a band. In the internet age of over-saturated media, especially in music, it's refreshing to see a band carve out their own unique voice -- even as their sound is a throwback to classic rock and blues. It's a seductive mix of familiarity and freshness. 
 
The album leaked on the internet, but is officially released Sept. 13th. 
 
Here's the first single, "Vomit", from the new record:

So, this album officially comes out tomorrow. 
 
Pitchfork posted their review today, in which they gave it a 9.3: http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/15811-father-son-holy-ghost/
 
Give this a shot if you're looking for some new music. This will go down as one of the year's best indie rock releases.

I have to admit to not caring for the first album, thanks for the heads up on this one, will give it a listen.

And who cares about P4K?

Not saying Pitchfork is the final word on anything, but they were the first professional review I saw posted so i linked it. Don't be elitist. You don't have to agree with everything they say, but they do have fairly decent coverage.

I've had this album for about a week and found it pretty enjoyable on the whole.  Their debut sounded a little too similar all-round, but this one is better.  You should also check out holy s*** (and thus ariel pink's haunted graffiti) if you like them.

Pitchfork paired with a genrename that includes "indie" is a formula for disaster. I don't realy find this album interesting, but then again, I don't find the whole indie thing interesting.

I agree with Radio-head, after listening to it a few times I really enjoyed it overall.
