Nicole Atkins announces sophomore LP and 7″ release dates

For those patiently awaiting the sophomore record by Nicole Atkins & The Black Sea, the wait is, well, not quite over. On Thursday’s Beyond Beyond is Beyond radio show, the pop-noir artist revealed that her much anticipated Neptune City follow-up, titled Mondo Amore, is finished but slated for a Jan. 25 release date through New York City based Razor & Tie. For those who want new Nicole Atkins sooner, a 7″ of slide-guitar heavy singalong “Vultures,” re-worked since its live performances in 2008, and “Vitamin C,” a cover of German experimental group Can, will be released in “two weeks,” according to Atkins.

And if you want new Nicole Atkins right now – like me – there’s an archive of her in-studio performances of “Baby Don’t Lie” and epic “The Tower,” as well as the debut of “Vitamin C” available. You can also see the colorful lineup of The Black Keys with Atkins’s Black Sea later this month or in October.
