Duluth Minnesota's Retribution Gospel Choir is about as real as it gets in the world of pop-rock. They have enough energy and vibrancy to power Vegas for at least a few minutes. RGC has been riding off the success of their self-titled debut album recently (touring with Wilco, Meat Puppets, & more), but as always, their progression is never ending. Their sophomore release, 2 , will be out January 26th on Sub Pop , and it features the stunning single "Hide It Away". This track is damn solid. It's an echoing [...]

Retribution Gospel Choir , the outfit featuring Low's Alan Sparhawk and Steve Garrington and drummer Eric Pollard, is looking to hit 2010 hard, with both a new album and tour planned for the early months of the year. The band's second album, appropriately titled 2 , will be released on January 26th through Sub Pop Records . The followup to the 2008 self-titled debut was tracked in their hometown of Duluth, Minnesota and mixed by Matt Beckley , who, ironically enough, has previously worked with the likes of Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. How's that [...]

New from Low's Alan Sparks comes his other project Retribution Gospel Choir , sort of his "I wanna rock out trio". The first track "Hide It Away" has all the sweeping, shimmering noise of Low, albeit louder. The sophomore release simply titled 2 will be out Jan. 26, 2010 on SubPop. via RCRD LBL Retribution Gospel Choir - "Hide It Away" -mp3
I know I said there would be no more Friday Freebies this year, well to get round this I have gone with Festive Freebies as to be honest there are far too many cracking tracks out there that I had to share them. Kid Canaveral Having stalked the Canaverals for over a year now, it would be fair to say that I am just ever so slightly excited about their forthcoming album. After listening to their new song 'Good Morning', which they are giving away as a wee taster of what's to come, I [...]
Retribution Gospel Choir - Hide It Away A bit of a belter from Sparhawk. Retribution Gospel Choir is the 'other' band by Low's singer (as well as their bassist) and this track is from 2 , their second album. It's poppy yet visceral, and you can download the track for free here . MySpace Pre-order Photo by Kim Valmer , licensed under Creative Commons

It looks like it's going to be a white Christmas in our neck of the woods and holiday cheer is in full effect over at Citizen Dick Headquarters. We got your stocking stuffed (or at least John's, he's a good dude, he believes in sharing, though I can't quite make out what's going on in his stocking's picture, Santa seems a tad creepy at second glance) with a brand new song from Quail Lungs and recent tunes from Retribution Gospel Choir , Reading Rainbow , and Beach Fossils . Some tunes that have been around the block [...]

Andy Willsher Okay, most inconvenient tour ever is probably a bit of an overstatement. From a logistical/routing point of view, The Clientele's upcoming jaunt across the pond in support of Bonfires On The Heath makes perfect sense - fly into New York, head south, west through Texas to California, up the west coast and back east along the 49th, cross the border for a couple Canadian dates, back down to New York and then home. But for me - and really, isn't [...]

I just spent the past three days traveling to and from New York, so I'm catching up on some e-mail, the most intriguing of which is one from Sub Pop offering an mp3 from Retribution Gospel Choir's forthcoming sophomore album 2 , due for release on Jan. 26 (the same date for new Spoon ... 2010 is gonna be good). Led by Low frontman Alan Sparhawk , Retribution Gospel Choir also includes bassist Steve Garrington from Low and drummer Eric Pollard. But RGC is hardly the second coming of the slowcore stylings [...]

Last year we debuted " Somebody's Someone " from Retribution Gospel Choir's self-titled debut, a dark, heavy collection released on Mark Kozelek's Caldo Verde. Lest you forget: The Minnesota trio features Low guitarist/vocalist Alan Sparhawk, Low bassist Steve Garrington, and drummer/vocalist Eric Pollard. Their sound's stripped down, but plenty muscular -- at times they open into a crackling sort of stoner rock. Their second album and Sub Pop debut, simply titled 2 , opens with "Hide It Away," a song that finds the guys in more anthemic territory. They committed the sounds to tape in Duluth and had them [...]

Retribution Gospel Choir's forthcoming album, 2 , was recorded in their hometown of Duluth, Minnesota and mixed by Matt Beckley. Enjoy "Hide It Away," from 2, out January 26th via Sub Pop. sound: Hide It Away http://www.retributiongospelch oir.com/ [...]
