Latvian Radio will celebrate the release of their new album “For Love & Spite” with a gig at Arlene’s Grocery (95 Stanton St) in New York City on November 15th, showtime is 10 pm. With admission you get a copy of the new CD. And a great rock show.

The album is barely out but it’s already being played on Jack Rabid’s excellent Big Takeover’s BreakThruRadio show, and Absolute Powerpop wrote this:

“These New Yorkers return with their latest full-length, another collection of their joyous power pop that will appeal to fans of indie poppers like The Shins as well as traditional power poppers like Brendan Benson. There’s plenty to love here, from the jangle pop of “To Find You There” and “On Display” to more reflective numbers like “North of the Keys” and “Stand Clear of the Closing Doors”. And with the uptempo melodies of the title track and “Oh No”, For Love & Spite is like an instant party you can attend whenever you put on the album. With autumn in full swing, this is a perfect record to listen to while enduring the drudgery of raking leaves.”
