NEW ARRIVALS for the Week of 10/21/2008 (Exact arrival dependent on shipping delays and mishaps, sorry) ................................................................... Simon Bookish - Everything / Everything (Tomlab) ................................................................... Simon Bookish is the pseudonym of London-based composer Leo Chadburn, who took part in the releases of Leafcutter John, Patrick Wolf, and Saint Etienne. An unpredictable and dramatic "big band song cycle about science and information", Everything is a new departure for Bookish, as it does away with digital synths, in favor of live instruments. Though it's his most pop-oriented release to date, it finds room for moments of racing Philip Glass minimalism, lopsided disco, expressionist cabaret, and even an eerie ambient interlude. The Dears - Missiles (Dangerbird) ................................................................... The Dears have not gone away and come back, but they have been transformed: by experience, by necessity, by life and its manifold curveballs. And with their new album Missiles they have emerged as elder statesmen of the Canadian indie rock renaissance. Recorded quickly, the album is a feast of stripped-down arrangements and raw emotion served up like a rustic meal, its songs polished but still containing traces of the rough soil from which they were born. El Guincho - Alegranza CD/LP (XL) ................................................................... "An exultant one-man carnival of sound" - Uncut. El Guincho is Pablo Diaz-Reixa, born in Spain. This release is a mix of afro-beat percussion, calypso harmonies, psych tropicalia, world music samplers, doo wop, trance repetition, underwater pop, steel drums, and island feeling plus club oriented song structures, uptempo beats, and exotica production. A one-man Animal Collective mixed by MIA? Check it out. Gang Gang Dance - Saint Dymphna CD/LP (Social Registry) ................................................................... Saint Dymphma, named after the patron saint of outsiders, is the band's follow-up to the acclaimed "God's Money". They've taken an even dancier, inclusive direction that continues to emphasize the ritualistic elements of their music while upping the transcendent aspects. The production is pristine cinematic headphone candy with 70s Eno intricacy and 00s Timbaland immediacy that will hold your attention while Gang Gang Dance continue to push things forward. Recommended. Morgan Geist - Double Night Time (Environ) ................................................................... After turning the Dance music world on its head with his Metro Area project (alongside collaborator Darshan Jesrani) and mining rare disco gems with the seminal obscure disco DJ mix Unclassics (2004), Geist decided it was time to turn his attention to a solo album that would indulge his own early influences and guilty pleasures: Techno-Pop, Prog Rock and pure Electronic music. Features vocals from Junior Boys' Jeremy Greenspan. Sebastien Grainger - and the Mountains CD/LP (Saddle Creek) ................................................................... A muscular and smart rock record that will surprise people expecting him to relive his past. Best known as singer and drummer for Canadian dance-punk duo Death From Above 1979, whose decadently catchy anthems took the world by storm, Grainger is soon to be better known as a singer/songwriter of sophisticated distinction with delicately layered folk-rock ruminations rich with energetic arrangements and deep melodic undercurrents. Lake - Oh, The Places We'll Go CD/LP (K) ................................................................... The title track lyrics, with a nod to Dr. Seuss, have a wide-eyed, wondrous feeling which finds itself popping up throughout this record. LAKE craft upbeat, danceable, psychedelic, uniquely sincere, and unaffected pop songs. Shawn Lee & Clutchy Hopkins - Clutch Of The Tiger CD/LP (Ubiquity) ................................................................... This release sounds like a collection of film-noir tracks run through the Clutchy Hopkins and Shawn Lee magical music machine. It's dusty and mysterious junkyard jazz that's powered by sly beats and otherworldly funk. Famous comic book creator Jim Mahood (Spiderman/Marvel, Clerks, Grrl Scouts, Stupid Comics) liked the tunes so much he provided the artwork for the package. RIYL: El Michels Affair, DJ Shadow, Tommy Guerrero, Money Mark. Of Montreal - Skeletal Lamping CD/LP (Polyvinyl) ................................................................... Their breakthrough, "Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer?" catapulted the band to the upper echelon of indie stardom. The record landed on over thirty major year-end lists including Paste, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, and Associated Press, and sold over 100,000 copies. "Skeletal Lamping" also delivers. It's a complicated and dense thrill ride packed with slinky grooves. Unpredictable, unique, and epic. Includes 32-panel fold-out/pop-up art piece by David Barnes and Gemini Tactics. Double LP on 180 gram vinyl includes giant die-cut poster exclusive to the LP. Parts & Labor - Receivers CD/LP (Jagjaguwar) ................................................................... This Brooklyn noise punk outfit has dramatically altered their wall of sound on their fourth album. It focuses on open spaces, longer movements, expansive arrangements, and loftier goals. Though they've maintained their love affair with glitchy oscillations and anthemic vocals, they're now a mature art-rock quartet. This is a heady mix of psych, noise, and pop influenced by the arty minimalism of Wire, the surreal pop of early Eno, and the spaced out psychedelia of "Dark Side"-era Pink Floyd. +/- (Plus/Minus) - Xs On Your Eyes (Absolutely Kosher) ................................................................... On their fourth album, the band cut back on the sound bites, synthesizers, and programmed drum beats, relying instead on their own versatile musicianship - warm horn sections, classical guitar, and pedal steel guitar. "Xs On Your Eyes" is distinctly more calm and confident in tone and is destined to become a favorite of many. The Sea & Cake - Car Alarm CD/LP (Thrill Jockey) ................................................................... The Sea And Cake are one of the most beloved indie bands of the past decade. Their eighth full-length has the breezy, open, crisp sound the band has spent fifteen years crafting, but it also has a palpable edge. That's the edge of people who know each other well enough to push a bit harder, who aren't worried about ruffling feathers or trying something different, difficult, intuitive, trusting. This is the sound of a well-oiled band. A bracing record. Wax Poetics - Issue 31 ................................................................... A revealing look into the mind of MF Doom. Shuggie Otis shines light on dark days. Isaac Hayes RIP. Chin Chin redefines the dance floor. Count Bass D carves out a musical niche. Grant Green Jr. reflects on his father's signature sound. Slick Rick set the standard in rap's glory years. J.Rocc lets his fingers do the rocking. Os Mutantes transformed modern Brazilian pop. The electric Mickey Dread tapped reggae's unique frequencies. The Menahan Street Band's melodies find their way back home. Disco futurist Patrick Adams found his voice in the keys. Guitarist Larry Coryell lit up a genre. Jerry Wexler and Roy Shirley and more! White Hinterland - Luniculaire EP (Dead Oceans) ................................................................... This EP is a highly ambitious recording containing 5 songs all sung in French, and expanding upon the wide palette of ideas heard on White Hinterland's debut, "Phylactery Factory". Features 2 original songs, plus covers of songs made famous by Serge Gainsbourg, Brigitte Fontaine, and Francoise Hardy. It's obvious that the band is exploring a plethora of musical ideas on "Luniculaire", from heavy grooves, funky rhythms, and scorching guitar to layered guitar work, spooky atmospherics, and strange percussive sounds. Hank Williams III - Damn Right, Rebel Proud CD/LP (Curb) ................................................................... Filled with a self-described "Jekyll and Hyde" mix of disturbingly dark stuff and "good ol' country," the straight-talkin' third-generation rebel's new album features the first single -- the mutated trucker's tune "Long Hauls & Close Calls." Double LP includes CD. VA - Eccentric Soul: The Young Disciples (Numero Group) ................................................................... By 1967, East St. Louis had become St Louis' evil twin. Unemployment, drug addiction and vicious gang activity put a dark and heavy lid on a bi-state area that once cooked-up the world-changing talent of Chuck Berry, Josephine Baker and Miles Davis. But both cities still spawned heroes, and Allen Merry was one of them. Already a legend for his early work with Ray Charles and Ike Turner, Merry channeled his talent into teaching - forming the Young Disciples through the South End Community Center to keep the kids off the streets, out of the gangs and into the studio, where young men and women spiraling downward could ride the spiral groove upward on Merry's labels. With nearly 80 youths involved from both sides of the Mississippi, the Young Disciples encompassed solo acts, duos, male and female vocal groups, a massive horn section and more. Every sweat-drenched recording included here emerged from this grass-roots organization that changed, if not saved, lives.
