Cult faves Galaxie 500 have gone and announced a new album of outtakes, B-sides, rarities, and previously unreleased tracks for the uber fans out there amongst you. The album is called ‘Uncollected Noise New York ’88-’90’ and will be available in September on vinyl, CD, tape and digital of course.

“I can see why we left some of these songs in the vaults,” Galaxie 500 singer and guitarist Dean Wareham said in a statement, “but there is pleasure in hearing them today; they sound very alive, like Galaxie 500 playing in the brick-walled room that was Noise New York.”

Bassist Naomi Yang added, “There is a sweetness in hearing the progression of us finding our own sound, our own collective voice. The Proustian power of music. Listening to these early recordings I can hear myself figuring out how I wanted to play bass—finding my way up the neck to where the notes would cut through, where there could be a counter-melody to the singing. Making the bass my singing voice.”

Proustian! How about that? Anyway, have a listen to this if you’re a Galaxie 500 fan.
