Select New Arrivals for the Week of 07/10/2007 ------------------------------------------------------------------ (Exact arrival dependent on shipping delays and mishaps, sorry) Against Me! - New Wave CD/LP (Sire) ................................................................... Back with their fourth full length and major label debut, Gainesville's Against Me! delivers their aggressive folk-punk, anarchist protest music to the masses once again. New Wave is the first Against Me! album to not feature any acoustic tracks. Produced by Butch Vig (Nirvana - Nevermind, Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream, Sonic Youth - Dirty). Special edition comes w/ live DVD. Arcade Fire - Intervention / Ocean of Noise 7" (Merge) ................................................................... From the first giant blast of the church organ, it's clear that "Intervention" is one of the grandest songs Arcade Fire has written. How do you get any grander than that? By inviting Calexico to contribute horn parts on "Ocean Of Noise", a song they liked so much they recorded their own version, which appears on the b-side here. So yea, I guess its kind of a split w/ Calexico, eh? Nick Drake - Family Tree (Tsunami) ................................................................... You'd think there wouldn't be much more to present by a man who recorded 3 albums and died in 1974. But, his estate has brought forth an hour of music that predates his first album. This set illuminates Drake's musical background, with his mother and sister appearing, and even Drake himself on clarinet for a Mozart trio. He covers traditional numbers as well as songs by Dylan, Blind Boy Fuller, and Jackson C. Frank. There are a couple early versions that appeared on his debut. Recorded in casual circumstances, with bits of chatter and laughter between songs, painting a picture of a happy, loving home scene. Gogol Bordello - Super Taranta (Side One Dummy) ................................................................... Gogol Bordello have been breaking down musical barriers since 1999 with a supercharged music based on a brutal gypsy 2-step rhythm that sounds like an Eastern European cousin of ska, augmented by punk, metal, rap, flamenco, roots reggae, Italian spaghetti western twang, dub, and other sounds generated by gypsies and rebels from across the globe. This is intense transglobal rebel rock, not light headed world fusion pop. It's about believing that music and art can transform negative energy to positive and inspire individual intelligence. The Gourds - Noble Creatures (Yep Roc) ................................................................... As relevant and irreverent as ever, these kaleidoscopic country-rockers continue defining their own unique musical genre. On Noble Creatures they continue their quirky ramble down the mountain, past dusty delta back porches and through the hanging moss of southwest Louisiana. In classic Gourds fashion the Mussel Shoals rekindling of "How Will You Shine" rides shotgun with the honky-soul of "Moon Gone Down," but on Noble Creatures it's the ballads that mark the album as an epaulet on the shoulder of an already mighty career. "Promenade" soars with a from-the-gut tale of squandered happiness and courses with Danko-like emotion. A desolate yet hopeful bandy of banjo and guitar trickles along a delicate dream-song, cut by the acid of Russell's sharp yet tuneful holler. Interpol - Our Love to Admire CD/LP (Capitol) ................................................................... Moving up to a major label has hardly lifted Interpol's spirits. This is a good thing. Even with the twisted Wild Kingdom album cover and bassist Carlos Dengler's unexpected Wild West makeover, on its 3rd studio album the black-clad NY quartet still sounds inflexibly menacing, grasping tighter than ever to its doomy post-punk influences and delving further into frontman Paul Banks's emotional unrest. Everything sounds a little bigger and brighter, sure, but at their core, the songs are heroically sinister, goaded on by prickly riffs and slow-bleeding rhythms. Free limited edition 7" w/ purchase! Justice - + (Cross) CD/LP (Vice) ................................................................... Justice's monster beats, massive hooks, thunderous drums, and near-religious determination to demolish dance floors cast them in a light no contemporary can catch. The french group's US debut single, "Waters Of Nazareth" arrived in 2006 and solidified their sound: huge slabs of beats, brutal strings, and cathartic release. That record sets the stage for this, their debut full-length, boasting the already ubiquitous disco pop anthem "D.A.N.C.E." Ulrich Schnauss - Goodbye (Domino) ................................................................... Ulrich's third album marks his first new release in four years. An altogether lusher, more slouched, musical approach. The results have strong echoes of My Bloody Valentine or a turbo-charged Brian Eno. A triumph of simplicity over pretension, of melody and harmony over pops and clicks and of the humane over the elusive. Reverb-smeared vocals, feedback-oscillated synthesizers, and raging guitars of destruction crush through on tracks like "Medusa." But there are also moments of sublime beauty and the kind of haunting melodies that have made Schnauss a favorite for chill-out soundtracks of the imagination. Smashing Pumpkins - Zeitgeist (Reprise) ................................................................... After a seven-year hiatus, the Pumpkins "reunite" (featuring only guitarist/singer Billy Corgan and drummer Jimmy Chamberlin) to release their 6th official album, Zeitgeist, German for "spirit of the age". Features global warming artwork by Shepard "Obey Giant" Fairey. Spoon - Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga CD/LP (Merge) ................................................................... It's worth pointing out that this album is comprised of 10 songs, the perfect number of songs for an album (see Back In Black, The Queen Is Dead, Nebraska, Nashville Skyline, Heroes, Seventeen Seconds, Unknown Pleasures, The Violent Femmes, Sticky Fingers, etc). They've also got it on good authority that 36 minutes is the ideal album length. CD includes a limited edition bonus disc with a 22-minute EP of extra music. LP version includes a digital download, with the bonus EP. Limited edition 7" w/ purchase makes this a must. St Vincent - Marry Me (Beggars Banquet) ................................................................... St Vincent is the moniker of Annie Clark and this is her debut full-length. She writes cinematic pop epics that feel at times like Paris in the 20s before all the fun ended. Or, conversely, an orchestra of pure modernity - a new American music, informed by jazz, gospel blues, Southern folk music, and classical composition but, in the end, an animal original unto itself. She's been compared to everyone from Bjork to Kate Bush to Jeff Buckley, and her beautiful voice melds perfectly with her intricate guitar work. They Might Be Giants - The Else (Zoe) ................................................................... Twenty years after their debut album introduced a well-read duo with a peculiar wit and a gift for contagious melodies, They Might Be Giants- aka John Linnell and John Flansburgh- still come across as exhilarating and spanking fresh as the theme song to Comedy Central's Daily Show. (Oh yeah, that's them, too.) Fresh off the Giants' 2nd children's record, the NY twosome began a production alliance with LA's Dust Brothers (Beck, Beastie Boys) that resulted in The Else, another collection that ranks with any in their memorable discography. The Tuss - Rushup Edge (Rephlex) ................................................................... Apparently touted by Planet Mu, XL and Ninja Tune all at the same time, they eventually decided to sign with Rephlex for reasons of principle. The Tuss offers little biographical info, preferring to concentrate on their musical merits, which they describe as braindance. This album features a unique blend of head music and dance vibes, everything from classic techno to modern funk, gabba, ambient and classical influences. RIYL Aphex Twin's recent Analord series. M. Ward - Duet for 2 Guitars [CD reissue] (Merge) ................................................................... This is M. Ward's first record, originally released by Co-Dependent Records in 1999, then re-released in 2000 by M's friend Howe Gelb (Giant Sand) on his Ow-Om label. It has been out of print ever since. Now Merge is offering this re-mastered version with three bonus tracks.

(Columbus) - http://myspace.com/robedot OS creates sounds that correspond to the nature of being and embody the ideals of nothingness. Live sets are best viewed blindfolded at the epicenter of the sound waves, or with eyes securely fastened in the upright position while allowing drool to pool at your feet. Waves of guitar and electronics roll through the ears creating patterns that are comparable to LSD trips through black holes. GET SUCKED IN! Lush, shimmering guitar ambience and hypnotic, propulsive instrumental heaviness wind through the dusty highways and burnt twilight skies of the 2nd album from Richmond, Virginia's Souvenir's Young America. Intensely beautiful melodies that drift on lonesome harmonica strains and sparkling, celestial electronics, shot through with mystic, western slide guitar, passages of crushing angular riffage, rolling tribal drumming, and transcendent blues. The sound draws from the collected DNA of forebears like Popul Vuh, Earth, Labradford, and Neurosis, yet they form a powerfully evocative instrumental language all of their own. Robe. are a 3 piece ghost sludge / drone band that create frozen guitar walls, epic fog laden trombone melodies, and heavy waves of deep bass and distorted feedbacks. Originally started as a sort of Twin Peaks tribute they've grown into much more. In the vein of bands such as Sunn O))), Boris, Black Boned Angel, and Wolf Eyes with a touch of a horror film soundtrack thrown in for good measure. Releases on Black Horizons and Cavernous Records.

Pterodactyl are a hyper-rhythmic, skull-cracking hard post-punk trio, playing with laser-guided precision, telegraphing impossible changes, it's as if someone plugged these guys into the nearest available wall socket and flipped the on switch. Lightning Bolt is somewhat of an apt comparison, though they don't waste time with jamming. Les Savy Fav or Oneida might be too. But this is a different beast, on their way to forming an original and completely engrossing sound on their own. It's heavy and brilliant too, if that helps.

He belongs to a line of innovators that includes Richard Pryor, Lenny Bruce and Andy Kaufman. A one of a kind performer that will leave you either scratching your head or bursting at the seams in laughter. Faced with an entire generation of young people being raised on nothing but over-produced radio rock and emasculated thrift-store hipster whining, Tremendous Fucking lives to grab an audience by the throat, smash their emo glasses, and go home with their girlfriends. Their sound - the Jesus Lizard molesting the Pixies while McLusky takes pictures - and explosive stage presence leave a trail of damaged eardrums, broken psyches & rocked asses in their wake.
