Singer-songwriter Julian Koster, who records as The Music Tapes, is back with his first full-length album since 2008's Music Tapes for Clouds and Tornadoes.

The new album is titled Mary's Voice. It will be released on September 4 by Merge Records, who says that the album is "the warmest and most accessible invitation yet into Julian Koster’s world." Check out the track list below.

There's no word on a tour yet but Koster has become known in recent years for his holiday carol tours late in the year. Check out photos of a 2009 stop in Chapel Hill HERE.
