Jukebox the Ghost Releasing New Album on Yep Roc Sept. 7

Jukebox the Ghost recently announced that they’ll be releasing Everything Under the Sun, their long-awaited follow-up to Let Live and Let Ghosts, on Yep Roc. Their scheduled release date is Sept. 7. Yep Roc is also home to fellow Philly transplants Drink Up Buttercup. (It looks like someone else besides Matador is giving Philly a little love.) Jukebox the Ghost attempted a musical tour of NYC’s five boroughs yesterday to promote their upcoming release. They had planned to perform a single song from the album in each borough at pianos stationed throughout the city as part of the public art installation “Play Me I’m Yours”. However, they had to cancel their final stop to Staten Islands Children’s Museum due to Tommy Siegel completely losing his voice. (It’s Staten Island. No one really wants to go there anyways.) The band kept their followers/stalkers updated on their location via Twitter throughout the day. They’ll also be making the rounds at a few of the festivals this summer which includes a stop at Lollapalooza so expect many tweets about that. – H.M. Kauffman
