Longstanding post-punks The Fall will release their 29th studio album on November 14th via Cherry Red. Titled Ersatz G.B., the new album “retains many of their most distinctive elements whilst offering a fresh take on Mark E Smith’s familiar style and subject matter,” according to a press release. Most importantly, the album features the same line-up behind last year’s excellent Your Future Our Clutter and 2008′s Imperial Wax Solvent. So, for the most part, one of the more stable line-ups in The Fall’s notorious revolving door-happy history. (Via Slicing Up Eyeballs)

New Jersey jangle guitar noodlers Real Estate have announced a North American tour to coincide with their second album. Following the release of Days on October 18th, the band will return from Europe to kick off the tour on Halloween with a gig in Chicago. For this leg, there is unfortunately only one Canadian date: Vancouver’s Biltmore on November 8th with fellow jangle pop enthusiasts Big Troubles. (Via One Thirty BPM)
