Hope you’ve saved some money folks, cause this week’s a definite killer, in terms of new release. We’ve got tons of new music, spearheaded by titan Elvis Costello, closely followed by the British lo-fi rockers Elbow. Another interesting release to pick up is the debut album from The Shadow Puppets, titled The Age Of The Understatement, formed by Alex Turner (Arctic Monkeys) and MIles Kane (The Rascals). And of course I couldn’t have rapped up…
My favorite record for this week is clearly Anthony Gonzales,’ or M83 as he’s better know, fifth LP “Saturdays = Youth.” I’ve always been fascinated by the way he masterfully mixes electronic and shoegazing elements, that gave as result some wonderful eclectic ambient music. Then there’s of course one of our recent favorites Tristan Prettyman, and her latest sophomore release “Hello…x.” Also another album worth picking up this week, is the latest LP from the…
April seems to be packed new music, with this week being flooded by new records from the likes of new and old acts alike. FIrst off there’s Nick Cave and his Bad Seeds, who’ve released their latest “Dig, Lazarus, Dig” LP in the UK, at the beginning of last month and are ready for US soil. Then there’s the indie veterans The Breeders, who’ve released their forth record in their long career, the highly anticipated…
Last week was great, with a lot of great new music to listen to, but this week’s even better. First up are the Athenians from R.E.M. and their highly anticipated new record Accelerate, which from the few samples we were privileged to listen to, sounds great and will undoubtedly erase the bad memories from their previous LP Around The Sun. Electronic music veteran and DJ guru, Moby, is also releasing new material, namely his eight…
What better way to start off the week, then a fresh does of new music? In this week folks is pretty darn impressive to say the least. Firstly we have Jack White’s The Raconteurs who’ve suddenly and out of the blue released their sophomore LP “Consolers Of The Lonely.” Then there’s the pop rock veterans The B-52’s and their eight studio album “Funplex.” Another very interesting release comes from Counting Crows as they unveil their…
This seems like a great week for indie and punk acts, with new records from the likes of Be Your Own Pet, The Kills, The Matches, The Hush Sound or The A.K.A.s. The most interesting release of this week, however, is the self titled record from recently publicized Yael Naim. She gained a lot of recognition and fame when her lead single New Hope got featured on the new Macbook Air Apple ad. Other notable…
This week to grace us with their presence is one of Seattle’s most fun and underrated bands, The Presidents of the United States of America, who are releasing their sixth studio album “These Are The Good Times People.” Also on the rap front, Fat Joe, Rick Ross and Snoop Dogg are all coming back strong with new records; curious to see how Snoop, and his “Ego Trippin’,” will do particularly. Irish soul master, Van Morrison,…
Wow; what a week! There’s so many remarkable artists releasing new records this week, that I don’t really know where to start. This week’s bombshell, without a doubt, is Nine Inch Nails latest record, “Ghosts I-IV,” that was subjected to a free digital download by the band, just last night. The album is a 36 track instrumental collection, that’s been planed from last year’s fall, but its sudden leakage wasn’t expect by anyone; anything familiar?….
One of my favorite electronica group, the duo of Goldfrapp are releasing their forth studio effort, titled “Seventh Tree;” a record that’s somewhat strayed a bit from their more conventional work, but in my opinion, in a better direction. It’s more soulful and alive, qualities that will definitely enlarge their already packed fan base tenfold. Having stayed, almost all of her professional life, in the shadow of his iconic brother, Janet Jackson will also release…
Loads of new and interesting records this week, especially at the indie front with lo-fi duo Mountain Goats leading the pack with their latest LP “Heretic Pride,” which has been getting a great deal of attention and critical claim from the very beginning. Also Deerhunter frontman Brandon Cox, is releasing his first solo album, under the moniker of Atlas Sound, titled “Let The Blind Lead Those Who Can See but Cannot Feel.” Back in the…
