NEW ARRIVALS for the Week of 11/3/2009 ................................................................... David Bazan - Happy Xmas 7" (Suicide Squeeze) ................................................................... This is the 6th installment of Bazan's Christmas Singles Series. Two new examples of this master songwriter's ruminative, and, ultimately, hopeful approach to traditional melody and arrangement. The adaptations of John Lennon & Yoko Ono's "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" and Wayne Coyne's "Say It Isn't Greensleeves (A Change At Christmas)" continue Bazan's Yuletide tradition in a style totally his own. Julian Casablancas - Phrazes for the Young (RCA) ................................................................... Debut solo album from the Strokes vocalist. The primary inspiration for the album and it's title came from the Oscar Wilde essay 'Phrases And Philosophies For The Use Of The Young'. Julian explains; "The Oscar Wilde thing makes fun of how superficial humans are - I was writing more about arrogance and shortsightedness" Helping Casablancas achieve his vision was veteran engineer Jason Lader and Bright Eyes multi-instrumentalist Mike Mogis. Cold Cave - Love Comes Close (Matador) ................................................................... Debut full-length from Cold Cave. Following on singles on Hospital Productions, Whats Your Rupture?, and Dais, as well as a comp of early material, Matador is now reissuing the instantly sold-out self-released album. The warm, rich synth pop sounds are laced with equal measures of romance and nihilism. Somewhere in these realms of negative hiss and out-of-body bliss, there is a peak awaiting all who enter. Recommended! Arrington De Dionyso - Malaikat Dan Singa (K) ................................................................... Some artists push the envelope. Old Time Relijun's Arrington de Dionyso eats the envelope and spits out an origami of sound. A collection of throbbing, hallucinogenic, trance-inducing trans-utopian cosmic post-punk sounds. Never one to compromise in pursuit of his twisted visions of the future of music, he not only rattles listeners with heavy grooves but he also sings every song on this album in Indonesian, with some of the lyrics being lifted from the poems of William Blake and passages from The Zohar. Girls in Trouble - s/t (J Dub) ................................................................... The songwriting debut of Alicia Jo Rabins. She marries her classical training and folk-punk sensitivity to her penchant for Jewish literature, mysticism and history. The result: pop hooks grounded in experimentation, subtle musicianship and a taste for ruminative lyrics. It projects an upbeat, care free feel which carries each track from beginning to end. Lushly produced with the help of Scott Solter (Spoon, Mountain Goats, Okkervil River). Artwork by Arriginton de Dionyso! Guided by Voices - Suitcase 3 (GBV) ................................................................... The 3rd installment in the series of unreleased Pollard / GBV tracks excavated from a suitcase of cassettes in his closet. Like the previous two volumes, Suitcase 3 includes 100 songs on 4 CDs in a box. Disc 4 is an acoustic jam session by Pollard, Tobin Sprout, and Greg Demos in 1994-95 (the period between Bee Thousand & Alien Lanes). Jookabox - Dead Zone Boys (Asthmatic Kitty) ................................................................... Dead Zone Boys, the third album from Jookabox (Indy-born David "Moose" Adamson), is love story meets psychedelic zombie-musical. The zombie part came easy: Moose grew up on the east side of Indianapolis in the 90s, an area plagued by constant recession, pandemic homicide, and racial tension. It was this frantic energy and violence that infused itself into the Jookabox experience while musically nodding to early Ween, Black Sabbath, and the King of Pop. King Khan & BBQ - Invisible Girl (In the Red) ................................................................... Their third full-length album. Invisible Girl will not disappoint the band's admirers or their devoted cult following. The album marks a return to the trademark Doo-Wop-laced, anthemic garage rock that earned the band their fame and their infamy. The record exhibits their effortless fluency in rock 'n' roll's tenets and traditions, but as Mark Sultan (otherwise known as BBQ) notes, it also includes a song so vile that it cannot even be mentioned. Molina & Johnson - s/t (Secretly Canadian) ................................................................... In this collaboration between Jason Molina (Magnolia Electric Co / Songs: Ohia) and Will Johnson (Centro-Matic / South San Gabriel / Monsters of Folk), each seem to hold the other's talents to the fire and elevate both performance and creativity. In the friendly sharing of ideas, Molina and Johnson become two poets' poets in a workshop to craft a singular, searing elegy. Nirvana - Bleach [deluxe reissue] (Sub Pop) ................................................................... This 20th Anniversary Edition has been remastered and includes an unreleased live recording of a complete February 9th, 1990 show at the Pine Street Theatre in Portland, Oregon. CD and LP versions available. Nirvana - Live At Reading CD/DVD (Geffen) ................................................................... Ranked #1 in Kerrang Magazine's "100 Gigs That Shook The World" and voted as "Nirvana's #1 Greatest Moment" by fans in an NME poll, Nirvana's historic 1992 headlining appearance at the UK's Reading Festival is one of the most bootlegged concerts in the annals of rock n roll. Now, fans will have an opportunity to own a pristine copy of that entire performance - color-corrected video from the original film with audio sourced from the original multi-track masters. Issued in a limited edition CD+DVD as well as DVD-only and CD-only configurations. On Fillmore - Extended Vacation (Dead Oceans) ................................................................... Once dubbed "the rhythm section's revenge" by Jim O'Rourke, On Fillmore is back with their most elaborate work. The duo is formed by bassist Darin Gray (Brise-Glace, Dazzling Killmen, Grand Ulena) and percussionist Glenn Kotche (Wilco, Loose Fur, Minus 5), who were originally hand-picked by O'Rourke as the rhythm section for his album Eureka and joined him on several tours and his next two albums. They make use of upright bass, unusual percussion, field recordings, vibraphone and various small instruments, exploring both repetition and spaciousness in the recordings. Joined by guest Dede Sampaio on bird sounds, Extended Vacation takes the listener on a strange, dreamlike journey. Slayer - World Painted Blood (Sony) ................................................................... The premier thrash metal band on the planet. Produced by Greg Fidelman and Executive Produced by Rick Rubin (the same team responsible for Metallica's Death Magnetic) the songs are intense and performed at a level only reachable by the masters of their craft. There is nothing backward-looking about World Painted Blood; it's the sound of a band effortlessly earning their relevance in 2010. Swimmers - People Are Soft (Mad Dragon) ................................................................... Philly based act is reminiscent of 60s British pop - hinting at influences such as the Kinks and the Velvet Underground while drawing comparisons to contemporaries Arcade Fire, Interpol, Joy Division and New Pornographers. The Swimmers debut release, Fighting Trees, garnered rave reviews from The Philadelphia Inquirer, Magnet, NY Times, Tripwire and Time Out Chicago making their Artist to Watch and Top Ten Year End Polls in 2008. Themselves - CrownsDown (Anticon) ................................................................... Doseone and Jel are back! A careful and vicious exhibition of mastered rap tactics and sampling ethics. Themselves' third album proper has been gestating in the gut of this seminal group for some time. It's both a return to form and a honing of what's come before (Subtle, cLOUDDEAD, Deep Puddle) - both the opus that these lionhearted two were always meant to make, and the album that their hip-hop-obsessed teenaged selves always hoped to hear. Vitalic - Flashmob (Fontana) ................................................................... Sophomore release from French DJ/producer Pascal Arbez-Nicolas. Flashmob contains 13 new tracks from the Dijon-based producer. "Terminateur Benelux" is a vicious, deliciously dirty aural assault, "Poison Lips" is a soaring disco tune buoyed by cooing female vocals and the title track is his most epic, dance floor igniting track yet! Weezer - Raditude (Geffen) ................................................................... Weezer's seventh album, the dictionary-defying Raditude, finds Weezer showing off their comic chops with goofy songs like "I'm Your Daddy" and "The Girl Got Hot." Produced by Jacknife Lee (Bloc Party, the Hives) and Butch Walker. Free bonus colored 7inch with purchase! Yeasayer - Ambling Alp 12" (Secretly Canadian) ................................................................... After 3 white winter months in upstate New York at the Marotta cabin, Yeasayer wrote and layered songs for their second album. The tracks were then transported to Great City in NYC for mixing and microscope. Out of these sessions came "Ambling Alp," which we elected as the first single for Yeasayer #2. The 12" single contains remixes by friends Memeory Tapes and DJ/rupture and is Yeasayer's first release on Secretly Canadian. VA - Light: On The South Side (Numero Group) ................................................................... Light: On The South Side gathers for the first time over 100 of Michael Abramson's photos taken on Chicago's south side in the late 70s. The 132-page hard back book features photos, an ephemera section, and an essay by Nick Hornby. Housed in a gorgeous slipcase with the 12X12 book is Pepper's Jukebox, a seventeen track compilation of the kind of funky Chicago blues heard from the stage and the Wurlitizer. The deluxe 2LP set is packaged in a sharp gatefold jacket with two inner sleeves crammed to the gills with label scans and stories from the bar stool. Amazing!
