New Hope Sandoval Sept. 15

The indie-rock it girl of the ’90s whom I can still picture singing on stage with The Jesus and Mary Chain at The Trocadero in Philadelphia is returning September 15 with a new record, according to a news release from Nettwerk:

Now on Through The Devil Softly, the definitive star of the Paisley Underground scene reignites her trademark sound in an epic journey across the 11-song album. The project continues the laid-back, slowcore sound they are renowned for and places Sandoval’s sensuous, hypnotic voice in the forefront. Recorded in both Northern California and the Wicklow Mountains of Ireland, the spare, subtle arrangements reinforce Sandoval’s gentle vocal style.

An extensive North American tour is planned for Fall 09, with dates in the UK and Europe to follow.

The record is Hope and her band the Warm Inventions’ sophomore full-length eight years in the making.
