New mp3 from The Broken West, album release info

Merge Records just keeps bringing us great music and now they're gearing up to release The Broken West's sophomore album, Now or Heaven?, on September 9.

After the gritty pop of their debut album, I Can't Go On, I'll Go On, it would seem that the band have filtered out the grit on their new album. Listen to their new song "Perfect Games" (mp3) from Now or Heaven? to see what I mean. I'm not saying the polished sound is a bad thing because "Perfect Games" sounds amazing and is a great song. If this is an indicator for the rest of the album, it's going to be a good one.

Here's the tracklist for Now or Heaven?
1. Gwen, Now and Then
2. Auctioneer
3. Elm City
4. Ambuscade
5. Perfect Games (mp3)
6. House of Lies
7. The Smartest Man Alive
8. Got It Bad
9. Terror for Two
10. Embassy Row
