Quick Hits: Bonnaroo, Miracle Fortress, Interpol, The Album Leaf

A bevy of noteworthy information surfaced in the music world today regarding 2010. None long enough to really write a full post about independently, but I know I’d regret not providing the information in case you haven’t heard it. So, here goes:

– Bonnaroo is slated for June 10-13 and ticket holiday pre-sales begin Friday, November 27 at 12 pm (ET). The official lineup will be announced sometime in late January / early February.

– Miracle Fortress, whom I briefly discussed here, is releasing a new record in 2010 on Secret City, according to Bumpershine‘s Twitter.

– Sam Fogarino, Interpol‘s drummer, tells Paste that Interpol’s newest album, which they recorded earlier this year, will be released on Capitol Records in early 2010. As Fogarino says, “The new record falls back towards the first. In trying to move forward, there was an unspoken realization that you can’t let go of your sonic-defining tag. There was an effort in Daniel’s guitar tone; he rediscovered it playing in his loft space for a year without anybody. The quality of that tone, played in a big room, is just beautiful. It creates an atmosphere.” [via P4k]

– The Album Leaf, according to The Music Slut, announced a brief U.S. tour and because Jimmy LaValle is one of my favorite musicians he’s obviously not heading to the East Coast.
