New music today is featuring the sophomore full length from indie rockers Bishop Allen. The band made a name for themselves last year by releasing new music each month and have now released their first full album in 4 years.

 

• This is the first full length album from the band since 2003’s Charm School.
• The album is being released on Dead Oceans Records, a sister label to Jagjaguwar and Secretly Canadian Records.
• The album plays like a greatest hits from their ambitious “EP A Month” project from 2006.

Here are some reviewers quotes about the new album.

• ” The strength of Bishop Allen’s songwriting lies in the band’s ability to imbue their songs with universal appeal.” - Popmatters
  
• “While managing to side-step both preciousness and predictability, The Broken String pulls together the long-anticipated and full-fledged follow-up that fans deserve, at the same time aptly defining where Bishop Allen is now: all over the map.” - Prefix Magazine
• “It really is great, striding confidently from one high point to the next, with expansive yet homemade-sounding folk-rock songs.” - The Onion
