Emerging on Merge Records in two weeks will be Oakley Hall's fourth full length album, I'll Follow You. Their tour in support of the new album begins next week on September 4th at Maxwell's in New Jersey.

This album is their debut with Merge and the label tells us to "Ditch your stereotypes about the urban and the rural, the traditional and the modern - none apply to the Hall." Imagine me now throwing said stereotypes out a metaphorical window.

The band consists of Greg Anderson (drums), Jesse Barnes (bass, vocals), Rachel Cox (vocals, guitars), Claudia Mogel (fiddle, vocals), Patrick Sullivan (vocals, guitar, organ) and Fred Wallace (guitar, lap steel).

It's sun-soaked music if I ever did hear it, with an intricacy that really can't be described. I mean at times it has the smoothness of jazz and at other times it boasts a certain alt. country twang.
