Conversations's forthcoming album, Journey to Edge of the Galaxy, is scheduled to arrive on September 27. As a precursor, the band recently shared a new single, “Dead Batteries”. Its narrator embraces what lies ahead as it reflects on a former relationship in an energetic, hook-fueled fashion. You can catch the band’s free record release show at The Barbary on Friday, September 27, with support from The Towering Pine and South On Sunday.

Conversations may have dropped the discussions with their "enemies" and directed their energy towards the much-needed after-school music program, Rock to the Future. However, husband and wife combo, Josh and Jessica Craft, still enjoy churning out feel-good, indie-pop ditties, like the ones found on their latest project's debut release Totally Redeem Yourself, which was recorded with Joe Reinhart at Headroom Studios. They'll be opening for Atlanta folk outfit Little Tybee this evening at Bourbon & Branch. Also helping to bring a bit of sunshine on this cloudy day will be whimsical folk-pop trio The Extraordinaires. Bourbon & Branch, 705 N. 2nd St., 8pm, $10, 21+ - H.M. Kauffman

Earlier this year, Coversations with Enemies revealed that they'd be changing their band name by shortening it to Conversations, which made sense to us with all their lineup changes over the years. The quartet just shared their latest romantic little ditty yesterday called "Airplanes." It was recorded at Headroom Studios with Joe Reinhart, and mastered at Spice House studios.
