This fall, Ben Folds fans have two things at least to look forward to: a round of concerts and new album that features rare cuts from the songwriter/singer’s entire career.

Currently Folds is in the middle of a tour of Australia. He will next be in the US in Las Vegas on October 29 at the Vegoose festival. Then he will embark on a headlining trek that will kick off in Houston on November 1. Nine headlining dates have been confirmed. According to the website for Folds, additional shows will be added later.

Folds will be releasing on October 24 “supersunnyspeedgraphic, the lp.” It’s a comprehensive collection of Folds original songs drawn off of film soundtrack appearances, covers, b sides and rare EPs. According to a recent press release, Folds along with drummer Lindsay Jamieson and bassist Jared Reynolds, remastered the album and tweaked tracks at Folds’ Nashville, TN studio. The complete track list is available on Folds’ website.

“Supersunnyspeedgraphic” is a follow up to “Songs for Silverman, his set from April 2005 and first full length studio album since “Rockin’ the Suburbs from 2001. In 2005 Folds also released “iTunes Originals- Ben Folds,” which included an in-depth Folds interview as well as new collection of songs available through the Apple iTunes Music Store exclusively. He also released “Ben Folds and WASO Live in Perth,” which is a concert DVD capturing the March 2005 performance of Folds when he played alongside the Western Australia Symphony Orchestra.
