Happy New Year! We missed you. We re-opened this past friday to fulfill your fix from holiday neglect. Come in tonight and grab the new Animal Collective 2LP - which some publications are already saying is the best album of 2009?!?! Or trade in your unwanted gift certificate for music from Landlocked! Stop in and ask us about that. Our year in review is coming in a seperate email later this afternoon, we know you are eager to read all about our music-geekiness eh? ................................................................... NEW ARRIVALS for the Week of 1/6/2009 ................................................................... Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion 2LP (Domino) ................................................................... Their ninth full-length. The whoops and hollers that previously held together the sublime, chaotic urgency of their earlier work now signal the calm sense of euphoria and wonder that ripples through this wide eyed record. Come to the release party tuesday night from 6-8pm for give-aways, camaraderie, pre-orders of the CD, remixes, posters, surprizes and more? Ariel Pink w/ Haunted Graffiti - Can't Hear My Eyes 7" (Mexican Summer) ................................................................... What better way to ring in the holidays than with 2 new cuts from Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti. This new material constitutes the first studio recordings with the full band. This 7" is limited to 500 copies, so act quick! The band features keyboardist Kenny Gilmore (Lilys), bassist Tim Koh (White Magic, All Night Radio), drummer Aaron Sperske (Beachwood Sparks, Lilys), and guitarist Cole M. Greif-Neill (The Samps). Glasvegas - s/t (Columbia) ................................................................... Glasvegas are a four piece from the tough East End of Glasgow, who fuse a wall of sound noise that is equal parts Jesus & Mary Chain, Elvis and Phil Spector combined with a Pop sensibility inspired by 60s Girl Pop and Doo Wop. This, their, highly anticipated self-titled debut album includes the singles 'Geraldine' and 'Daddy's Gone'. US edition includes two bonus tracks. The Gourds - Haymaker! (Yep Roc) ................................................................... The unclassifiable Austin sons are back! On Haymaker the band circles back, digs beneath and climbs over their gin soaked music roots with an album of grass-fed cosmic country. Rattling flourishes of soul, swamp rock and gospel rhythms spill out all over the place. Psychic songwriting apparatus Jimmy Smith, Kevin Shinyribs Russell and Max Johnston continue their chronicling of askew Texas characters who populate the subterranean Lone Star State, a world of 'Fossil Contender's', 'Luddite's', 'Valentines' and women with skin like chocolate milk, so beautiful they make married men feel no guilt. Marissa Nadler - Ballads of Living and Dying + 7" (Mexican Summer) ................................................................... When the opportunity presented itself to put out Marissa's first album (originally released on Eclipse Records in 2006) on vinyl for the first time, Mexican Summer couldn't pass it up. It contains some of her most beautiful and haunting tracks including "Mayflower May" and the Poe inspired/written "Anabelle Lee." This LP comes out a few months before her new album "Little Hells" is released, and she'll actually be playing a few dates in the coming months getting ready to take the world by storm 2009. Comes with bonus 7"! Tallest Man on Earth - Shallow Grave LP + 7" (Mexican Summer) ................................................................... Whether it's The Tallest Man on Earth's lo-fi tape recording technique or penetrating vocal stylings, Shallow Grave authentically represents a tradition of Americana folk rock that was popularized during the 50s and 60s. "The Tallest Man on Earth, like Dylan before him, grounds his songs in Son House- and Blind Willie McTell-inspired guitar work, lofting tempestuous vocals overhead and garninshing liberally with"babe"s and "honey"s" (Paste).ÊThis release follows his critially acclaimed 2007 5-song EP and a well deserved 8.3 album rating for Shallow Grave (Pitchfork). Bonus 7" EP included. RIYL Bon Iver. VA - The Art Of Field Recording Volume II 4xCD (Dust To Digital) ................................................................... This is volume 2 of Dust-to-Digital's robust and highly-acclaimed Art of Field Recording series, assembled by esteemed archivist Art Rosenbaum. This impressive 4CD set includes ballads, blues, spirituals, work songs and slave songs, religious singing and other traditional folk music from Georgia, Arkansas, Texas, Florida and elsewhere. Housed in a 10"x10"x10" color cardboard box containing a 96-page perfect-bound book with over 100 illustrations and photographs, and four CDs with a total of 107 tracks. Volume 1 also available! VA - Live At Rob's House 7"+DVD (Rob's House) ................................................................... After 3 years of regular house shows and 4 live 7"s, the satuday afternoon showcases hosted at Rob's House have become somewhat of an Atlanta staple. Rob's House hosted the last of its house shows in july 2008 and this 7" features one track from each of the 4 bands that played that day (Black Lips, Carbonas, Gentleman Jesse and Predator). Its the end of an era for Rob and they cut no corners to make this release a celebration of time at the house. The 7" features 2 unreleased tracks, comes housed in a hand-numbered gatefold sleeve and includes a professionally shot DVD of the entire show.
