A couple notable nuggets for this week - 1) Landlocked has the first handful of titles from a new vinyl label called Mexican Summer, each of these are very limited and very cool. The first grouping is from Dungen, Nachtmystium, and Headdress - read more below. Future releases from this new label include Black Moth Super Rainbow, Valet, Marissa Nadler, Tallest Man on Earth and much more. We are the only place you can get these in Bloomington! 2) We are taking pre-orders NOW for the next Pavement reissue - Brighten the Corners. Like the first 3 editions, this package treats Pavement's 4th album right, with 2 CDs containing the entire 1997 record, remastered, plus all the B-sides and compilation tracks from that period, and a plethora of unreleased live and studio tracks in an embossed slipcase with a 62-page book containing photos, ephemera, writings and more. Pre-order it this month and you will not only be able to stream the album NOW, but you will also get free bonus tracks, a free poster, AND a bonus live vinyl LP at release (11/18) recorded during the first Brighten tour and scheduled for release as OLE-324 in July 1998. Wowza! Email or stop in and let us know! **The only way to get the live LP is to pre-order the Brighten deluxe version from us! It will not be available for sale seperately.** ................................................................... NEW ARRIVALS for the Week of 10/7/2008 (Exact arrival dependent on shipping delays and mishaps, sorry) ................................................................... Annuals - Such Fun (Canvasback) ................................................................... Raleigh, NC based 6-piece Annuals' sophomore album. Recorded throughout North Carolina, Such Fun is an album so varied and exciting, it certainly belies the years of its young creator and his musical cohorts. Such Fun embraces a vast landscape of musical richness, combining Adam's accomplished songcraft with an instrumental palate that is even more blindingly colorful than their previous work. Straddling the line between epic post-rock, pop-rock guitar crunch, woozy country swings and lovely orchestral ballads, its revelatory in its depth. Antony and the Johnsons - Another World EP (Secretly Canadian) ................................................................... Antony & The Johnsons emerged on the international stage in 2005 with their breakthrough "I Am A Bird Now." His first new material since 2006 is a prelude to the new full-length, "The Crying Light", coming in January 2009. Of the project, Antony said, "I wanted to mark this moment very clearly in my life. I love and feel so anchored by the natural world, which gave birth to me, which supplies and supports my life, this experience of color and light and aching beauty. But the world is changing so fast now. 'Another World' is a song for the present but also a song for the future. What have I lost? And what is to come?" Catfish Haven - Devastator (Secretly Canadian) ................................................................... Catfish Haven is hard to pigeonhole. The band has been paired with future classic rock contenders like My Morning Jacket, Magnolia Electric Co., The Hold Steady, Lucero, and Eli Reed & The True Loves. "Catfish Haven's blues-infused ballads and boozy trots possess equal amounts of backwoods authenticity and cosmopolitan flair. They may harvest most of their mojo from south of the Mason Dixon, but they bleed metropolitan with undeniable garage-grime charm and power-pop arrangements reminiscent of The Strokes" - Spin. Free digi-EP with purchase. Deerhoof - Offend Maggie (Kill Rock Stars) ................................................................... Say what you will about Deerhoof, but they know how to write a beautiful song. And "Offend Maggie" is all the more beautiful for the fact that it seems to come out of nowhere. For all its sparkling musicanship, it sounds casually tossed off like it was nothing at all. It's a new sound for the band as much as it's a new sound for pop music. For those who have been following their remarkable career, "Offend Maggie" represents another Deerhoofian high-water mark, even as it shows another abrupt shift in direction. Department of Eagles - In Ear Park (4AD) ................................................................... Dept Of Eagles is Daniel Rossen (Grizzly Bear) and Fred Nicolaus. In Ear Park is a colorful and expansive album; an intimate collection of songs. Much of the material Daniel brought to this record draws on memories of his father who died in 2007, and to whom In Ear Park is dedicated. Many of Fred's contributions relate to similar themes of nostalgia and mortality, giving the album an elegiac feel at times. Free Bonus 7" while they last! Best New Music at Pitchfork! Dungen - Satt Att Se 12" (Mexican Summer) ................................................................... Dungen presents a brand new 12" that extends the acclaimed Swedish outfit's sound even further. Beats surging forth, stirring orchestration with cinematic undertones and atmospheric changes that highlight their trademark evolutionary sound. This lush pop portrait laced with orange sunshine guitar flash stands as one of the most fully-realized moments of Dungen's career. 1,000 copies in a hand-numbered, vinyl-only limited edition release. F-cked Up - The Chemistry of Common Life (Matador) ................................................................... The second record from Toronto's hardcore wunderkinds is a dense, orchestral effort containing an expansive epic about the mysteries of birth, death, and the origins of life. Merging elements of hardcore songwriting with up to 70 tracks of guitars, organs, winds, and vocals, the songs are iconoclastic and startling, with Pink Eyes' growling vocals front and center. Though Fucked Up remain punks at heart, if quixotically diverse ones, they have created a great, weird, heavy record that stubbornly sticks in your brain and your heart. Grails - Doomsdayer's Holiday (Temporary Residence) ................................................................... Their darkest, heaviest record yet, taking equal pride in smoky psychedelics and mountain-ascending riffs. Grail's avant-metal leanings are evident as always, but "Doomsdayer's Holiday" finds their already-broad palette continually expanding with 70's European film noir and cosmic free jazz explorations. Vinyl version in 2 weeks. Headdress - Turquoise LP (Mexican Summer) ................................................................... A new mysterious duo of Texans who have spent the last two years wandering throughout the American West. Their first EP was written and recorded in the woods along the south fork of the Yuba River in Northern California where they lived in tents during the summer of 2006. After buying a van called Cloud, they headed south and spent time in Big Sur as well as Joshua Tree before finding their way into the Southwest. This album was recorded in a hollow hill in the grasslands of the Sonoran Desert under the Moon of Shedding Ponies (May) while living in a RV called The Golden Horse. Jolie Holland - The Living and the Dead (Anti) ................................................................... With a vocal style hailed by the Village Voice as "sultry and sweet, despairing and lonely", Jolie has experimented in the past with various settings for her unique, jazz-inflected voice. This time working with such collaborators as M. Ward (She & Him, My Morning Jacket) and Marc Ribot (Tom Waits, Elvis Costello), she has embraced both the rocking side of her roots, and the compositional possibilities of the studio, multi-tracking her voice for the first time. The results have intensified the evocative moodiness of her music but also brought out a rollicking looseness. Japanese Motors - s/t (Vice) ................................................................... Japanese Motors are the most exciting band to emerge from Orange County since the heyday of Social Distortion and TSOL. They're known around Southern California for the insane, all night blowouts they put on as much as for the driving, raucous garage pop they set the partying to. The music is as sun-baked and laid-back as their coastal environs and rife with positive imagery. Lambchop - OH (Ohio) (Merge) ................................................................... Change is a subtle thing in Lambchop's world; Kurt Wagner is simply a great believer in the natural pace of life. Lambchop have evolved, adapted, and tested themselves over their long career and "OH (Ohio)" follows this pattern in typically oblique but deeply satisfying ways. We love Lambchop! Highly recommended! Land of Talk - Some Are Lakes (Saddle Creek) ................................................................... These Cannucks have come a long way since they played the old Landlocked locale! This album encompasses a great deal with very little, an aesthetic in stark contrast to orchestral pop and digi-tweaked indie chic. These songs set a perfect bridge from the jangling dissonance and ferocious doubled voicings of the band's debut, to the road-weathered clarity and reflection singer/songwriter Elizabeth Powell has now begun to own so fully. On the road with Broken Social Scene. Margot & the Nuclear So & So's - Animal! / Not Animal (Epic) ................................................................... MATNSS are an 8-piece circle of friends from Indianapolis who, in 2005, quietly released one of the most beloved indescribable records in recent memory, The Dust of Retreat. The band signed to Epic in 2007, and wrote and recorded their major label debut with Brian Deck (Modest Mouse, Iron and Wine). From that recording session was born two separate releases, Animal and Not Animal. Not Animal is the Epic version of the album and is available on CD and LP. Animal! is the band's version, sporting different artwork and tracklisting, and is available only on vinyl! Catch em live at the BCT on 10/18! Bonus autographed booklets with purchase! Mojo Magazine - The Clash (November 2008) ................................................................... The year is 1982. Combat Rock was being recorded and The Clash were playing their biggest ever gigs supporting The Who on their arena tour, but the cracks were starting to show. MOJO talks to the survivors and discovers the internal conflicts that were slowly pulling the band apart. Plus a MOJO interview with Carlos Santana. Also, Jakob Dylan, Peter Green, Seasick Steve, Brian Wilson and a FREE CD of songs of protest and insurrection, including two exclusive Clash tracks. Daniel Martin Moore - Stray Age (Sub Pop) ................................................................... The debut by Kentucky's Moore is a folk record, evoking certain feelings, but there's a gentle approach to its sound and the way Daniel's voice phrases his words. Joe Chiccarelli (The Shins, U2, White Stripes) took on co-production, recording, and mixing duties. It is rich with understated complexities that take you to places Nick Drake and Neil Halstead do. There's a soft swing in the vocals reminiscent of Chet Baker. But what separates Moore from the pack is he's looking forward; he wants to go places and we're finding him right in that moment. Mt Eerie - Lost Wisdom (Southern) ................................................................... Lost Wisdom is comprised of 10 songs recorded quickly and quietly during a surprise visit by Julie Doiron, keeper of the world's greatest and saddest voice, and Fred Squire, hidden guitarist of the floating riff, in a small wooden room in Anacortes, Washington before they returned home to eastern Canada. Songs with the expression of the face of a baby in a burning world, in the swirling dust. They hang on a theme of impermanence and destroying forces. The river is revealed to be going right through the house, the river of inevitable chaos, sorrow and love. Nachtmystium - Worldfall 12" (Mexican Summer) ................................................................... Nachtmystium are an atmospheric black metal band that hails from the US. They are strongly influenced by the low-fi sounds of Darkthrone and Burzum and in recent years gathered additional influences from ambient and psychedelic artists. Here, they bring forth two brand new tracks along with a revamped song from their Demise album. Like they've done in the past, two cover songs are here (Death In June and Goatsnake). Oasis - Dig Out Your Soul (Reprise) ................................................................... Says Noel Gallagher: "I wanted to write music that had a groove. I wanted a sound that was more hypnotic and driving with songs that would draw you in; songs that you would maybe have to connect to - to feel." Already hailed as the band's best work in a decade, Dig Out Your Soul offers a musical oasis for rock fans everywhere. Free bonus CD with Primal Scream remix! The Pretenders - Break Up the Concrete (Shangri-La) ................................................................... Think of this long awaited studio album as if it were the first Pretenders record: musical turf that's defined by attitude, lyrical and melodic mastery, and the unexpected...and Chrissie Hynde's voice as you've always known it. "Break Up The Concrete" is an authentic slice of rock Americana, ranging from blistering punk to the most delicate storytelling as told by the queen of rock royalty herself. Jay Reatard - Matador Singles '08 (Matador) ................................................................... For the six months leading up to this release, Matador has put out a limited edition 7-inch by Memphis boy wonder Reatard. Each generated more attention, but was released in a progressively more limited run, starting with 3,500 copies for the first and ending with 400 copies for the sixth. This package collects all six (excluding the Deerhunter track on #4), plus one extra song. Each tune is a perfect snarling pop-punk gem. The Rosebuds - Life Like (Merge) ................................................................... The fourth full-length from this Raleigh, NC band is a return to more organic territory, barely a year after releasing the synth-heavy dance pop of 2007's "Night Of The Furies". Guest appearances by Portastatic's Matthew McCaughan, Bon Iver's Justin Vernon, and Ashley Stove's Jim Brantley. Spinto Band - Moonwink (Park the Van) ................................................................... The Spinto Band interlace rich, textured guitars, unconventional orchestration, and multiple-part vocal harmonies into exciting new avenues of indie pop. The music is at once outlandish, kinetic, and luminous, while still restrained in a way that pays homage to the classic pop song, bringing to mind a contemporary coagulum of The Beatles, Berlin, and Bowie. Free bonus 7inch with purchase! The Streets - Everything is Borrowed (Vice) ................................................................... The first time people heard The Streets' debut "Original Pirate Material", they couldn't figure out whether the artist was black or white, from London or the Midlands, deadly serious or a total joker. We now know who Mike Skinner is, so for him to have come up with a record that surprises and delights is an even more impressive achievement. "Everything Is Borrowed" finds Mike not only rediscovering his irrepressible buoyancy, but sailing away on that trademark stop-start lyrical flow to waters no one else has visited. These Are Powers - Terrific Season / Taro Tarot (Dead Oceans) ................................................................... These Are Powers utilize a wide sound-driven musical vocabulary in their visceral constructions - songs are born from improvisation, then emerge as fully realized sonic pieces. It's chaos turned to beauty, fractals coming into focus. This is music that relies as much on instinct and intuition as it does composition or melodic structure. Their first full-length takes off with a punk-like ferocity, recalling the halcyon days of Silver Apples and Throbbing Gristle. It's a poly-rhythmic, frantic, unconventional work that finds the band utilizing borderline conventional song structures to harness their abstract sounds. Women - s/t (Jagjaguwar) ................................................................... The debut album by Women was recorded over 4 months on ghetto blasters and old tape machines in Chad VanGaalen's basement, an outdoor culvert and a crawl space. Sometimes light and spacious, at other times eerie and dense with an ominous weight, this self titled album touches upon Velvet Underground, Swell Maps or This Heat while not really having any obvious precursors - a lo-fi masterpiece cloaked in layers of vibrato and guitar wash. "... straddles the 1960s' divide between the Warhol crowd's speed-addled New York cynicism and the echoes of psychedelic San Francisco that bubbled up across the pond in the fey, catchy pop of UK groups like the Zombies." - PFM Rachael Yamagata - Elephants Teeth Sinking Into Heart (WB) ................................................................... Rachael Yamagata has hardly been idle since her acclaimed 2004 full-length debut, Happenstance, and its Adult Top 40 hit 'Worn Me Down.' So for her Warner Bros. premiere, the singer-songwriter-pianist with the sultry voice unveils a double disc set: Elephants...Teeth Sinking Into Heart. Produced largely by Mike Mogis (Bright Eyes, Rilo Kiley, The Faint), and also John Alagia (John Mayer, Dave Matthews Band, Happenstance), Elephants is darker and more vulnerable while the more guitar-driven Teeth Sinking Into Heart is grittier and more defiantly cynical. Together, they reveal the two sides of one of today's most entrancing artists.
