NEW ARRIVALS for the Week of 2/9/2009 .................................................. The Besnard Lakes - Albatross 12" (Jagjaguwar) .................................................. A standout track and the first single from Montreal's The Besnard Lakes' upcoming longplayer, The Besnard Lakes Are The Roaring Night, "Albatross" has all the swagger of a Stevie Nicks-led Fleetwood Mac classic or Roy Orbison reimagined as a rollicking, snakeskin-booted Mazzy Star -- dousing it all in gas and throwing the match as we hear its tale of Vancouver's skid row and its inhabitants. Buzzcocks - CD reissues (Mute) .................................................. Buzzcocks and Mute will release the original Buzzcocks' albums, Another Music in a Different Kitchen, Love Bites, and A Different Kind of Tension. The reissues will also feature previously unreleased tracks, John Peel sessions, associated singles, demos, backing tracks, and live versions. Very cool. Galactic - Ya-Ka-May (Anti) .................................................. Galactic have made what may be the definitive New Orleans tribute by recognizing this fundamental truth; that all of the town's seemingly disparate styles - jazz, brass bands and funk as well as the newer bounce/hip hop are intrinsically linked. Featuring Rebirth Brass Band, Irma Thomas, Allen Toussaint, Big Chief Bo Dollis, Big Freedia, Katey Red, Sissy Nobby, Trombone Shorty, Corey Henry, John Boutte, Sheeky Blakk, Josh Cohen, Scully, Glen David Andrews, Walter Wolfman Washington. Jimi Hendrix - Valleys of Neptune 7" (Sony) .................................................. Two previously unreleased Jimi Hendrix studio recordings. A-side features "Valleys Of Neptune," one of the most sought after of all of Hendrix's commercially unavailable recordings. "Valleys Of Neptune" is the title track of the forthcoming Jimi Hendrix album Valleys Of Neptune, featuring 12 previously unreleased studio recordings - over 60 minutes of unheard Jimi Hendrix! B-side features "Cat Talking To Me," a previously unreleased 1967 recording with the Jimi Hendrix Experience. "Cat Talking To Me" is a non-album bonus track available exclusively on this single. Mixed by Eddie Kramer, the engineer for all of Hendrix's albums throughout the guitarist's lifetime. Hot Chip - One Life Stand (Astralwerks) .................................................. One of the most exuberantly inventive and acclaimed bands around today. Hot Chip have built a devoted fanbase with their soulfully eclectic records and incendiary live shows. Hotly-anticipated by fans and media alike, One Life Stand is the band's most boldly accomplished record yet, at once offbeat and anthemic, cerebral and danceable. Features the single 'One Life Stand'. Massive Attack - Heligoland (Virgin) .................................................. The much anticipated 5th album from legendary trip-hop duo Massive Attack. Featuring an all-star cast of guest vocals from Damon Albarn (Blur), Hope Sandovol (Mazzy Star), Martina Topley-Bird (Tricky), Guy Garvey (Elbow) and Tunde Adebimpe (TV on the Radio). Long time cohort Horace Andy makes a return as well as Portishead's Adrian Utley playing guitar. The band also collaborated with DFA's Tim Goldsworthy on selected tracks. Pantha Du Prince - Black Noise (Rough Trade) .................................................. Pantha Du Prince fuses house, techno, shoegazy electronica and psychedelic electro-acoustic soundscapes into music that is at once both beautiful and bewitching. His previous album This Bliss, was a bittersweet take on techno, which appealed to both dancefloors and living rooms alike and was hugely successful. As a result he has become an in-demand remixer and has done tracks for Depeche Mode, Animal Collective, Bloc Party, and many others. Phantogram - Eyelid Movies (Barsuk) .................................................. Electronic loops, hip hop beats, shoegaze, soul and pop each finds its way into their songs. Despite the cultural influence of their local Skidmore College and a relatively small scene of adventurous musicians and listeners, Saratoga isn't exactly teeming with fans of J Dilla, My Bloody Valentine, or Serge Gainsbourg. But the pair who make up Phantogram have flourished in Saratoga. In fact, the town itself isn't rural enough for their taste they drive another 45 minutes into upstate farmland to a barn they call Harmony Lodge to write and record. Sade - Soldier of Love (Sony) .................................................. Known for their one of a kind timeless sound, Sade has enjoyed phenomenal success both internationally and stateside throughout the span of their twenty-five year career. The highly anticipated new body of work Soldier of Love features 10 new songs including the latest single, "Soldier Of Love". Recommended. Gil Scott-Heron - I'm New Here (XL) .................................................. Gil Scott-Heron is one of the most influential and important songwriters to have come out of America in the second half of the last century. Much can be said about why this Gil's lyrics are so original and powerful but, it is important not to overlook his utterly singular voice which is so distinctive and rough and tender. It is a voice of experience. A new record from Gil Scott-Heron, 40 years after his first solo album, is a cause for major celebration and something that the world needs now more than ever. HIGHLY Recommended! Watson Twins - Talking to You, Talking to Me (Vanguard) .................................................. The Watson Twins' new album is undoubtedly their most ambitious to date. It finds them taking a soulful turn a la Carole King, but with a distinct pop edge reminiscent of Feist. A heartfelt nod to their roots, retaining the ethereal harmonies that have become their signature while incorporating a myriad of influences and inspirations. The twins, Chandra and Leigh Watson, along with a band of friends including members of Everest and My Morning Jacket captured the essence of The Watson Twins' extraordinary talents on a record that is at once driving, poignant and beautiful. Yeasayer - Odd Blood (Secretly Canadian) .................................................. Since the release of their critically acclaimed debut All Hour Cymbals, Yeasayer has been around the world and back again. While their first record was conceived in total artistic isolation, constant touring forced Yeasayer to finally engage with their contemporaries. If All Hour Cymbals was Yeasayer's attempt at global and ambient cultural mash-up then their new album takes place in an off-world colony sometime after the Singularity. Glimmering reverb haze is eschewed and replaced by a cavalcade of disorienting pitch effects and flickering ectoplasmic wisps. VA - If It Ain't Cheap, It Ain't Punk: D. un I. t Y. DVD (Plan-it X) .................................................. Over the last 15 years, Plan-it X Records helped foster a huge cultural revolution - uniting geographically divided DIY punk communities under one umbrella. With a united ethic and common goals, this scene has grown to a critical mass while some bands flirted with mainstream success and others choose to remain firmly rooted in the basement punk scene. This original documentary climaxes in the 2006 Festival where punks from all over the world met up in Bloomington for a week of music and skillsharing. Original footage of This Bike is a Pipe Bomb, Japanther, Defiance Ohio, Ghost Mice, One Reason, Operation: Cliff Clavin, Soophie Nun Squad, and more!

Each album has a review and enables you to listen to the entire album before you buy it. Give 'er a spin! Spoon - Transference (Merge) .................................................. Transference, Spoon's seventh album and first full length offering of new material since 2007's Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga, is already inspiring the likes of NPR to declare that it "may be Spoon's best record yet." Preceded by the infectious single "Written In Reverse" and featuring instant classics "The Mystery Zone," "Who Makes Your Money," "Is Love Forever?" and more, Transference is yet another essential release from the most critically acclaimed band of the last decade. Strong Arm Steady - In Search of Stoney Jackson (Stones Throw) .................................................. In Search of Stoney Jackson was produced entirely by Madlib. The album's conception owes a great deal to World Famous Beat Junkie, J.Rocc, who provided the trio with close to 200 of the prolific beatsmith's tracks to choose from. It's a hip-hop jam session, with the group acting as the rhythm section for an all-star cast of guest vocalists such as Talib Kweli, Planet Asia, Guilty Simpson, Evidence, Chase Infinite, and Phonte of Little Brother. Los Campesinos! - Romance Is Boring (Arts & Crafts) .................................................. Romance Is Boring is an ambitious record that's bigger, deeper, more complex and direct than anything Los Campesinos! have recorded. Produced by John Goodmanson (Sleater-Kinney, Bikini Kill, Wu-Tang Clan), it's filled - with added brass, strings, drum machines and electronics, plus guesting from Jamie Stewart of Xiu Xiu, Zac Pennington of Parenthetical Girls and Jherek Bischoff of the Dead Science. Romance Is Boring feels like a band that's not so much grown up, but "fully realized." Mayer Hawthorne - A Strange Arrangement (Stones Throw) .................................................. Mayer Hawthorne's debut of retro-soul gems is earning him fans like Justin Timberlake, Mark Ronson and John Mayer, who tweeted, "Record of the Year goes to Mayer Hawthorne". Hawthorne's self-produced tunes are an eerily accurate homage to the Motown hit machine - think Funk Brothers-style grooves, luxuriant harmonies, Holland-Dozier-Holland song-writing chops and sweetly naive vocals that recall Smokey Robinson and the Chi-Lites. - Rolling Stone Midlake - The Courage of Others (Bella Union) .................................................. The Courage of Others is the lusted after follow-up to Midlake's 2006 cult classic The Trials of Van Occupanther. Existing outside the plane of trends and time, Midlake has conjured a novel world, but one that seems to have existed forever. Looms of intricately textured keyboards, flute, guitars and voice are woven into broad cloaks of sound, all riding the wave of songwriter Tim Smith's sweeping vocals. They blend early Brit folk influences with thick-throated guitars propelling new sounds and emotions. The Courage of Others is positioned to be the latest installment in the important and ever-evolving discography of one of modern music's most unique torchbearers. -------------------------------------------------- More information about shows and more on the horizon is available for the technologically inclined at http://www.landlockedmusic.com/ or http://myspace.com/landlockedbton or http://indiana.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2385198570 or http://twitter.com/landlockedmusic We are looking to buy/trade all your old unwanted CDs & LPs!
