Landlocked Music is pleased to announce an exclusive TUNE-YARDS instore performance - her only show in Bloomington - on Monday April 19th at 6:30pm at Landlocked Music. tUnE-yArDs is the singular musical project of New England native Merrill Garbus. Possessing an expansive sound that marries a coarse folk ingenuity with the bold pop sensibility of an R&B siren, BiRd-BrAiNs was assembled with a staunch DIY aesthetic. .................................................. NEW ARRIVALS for the Week of 4/13/2009 .................................................. Dosh - Tommy (Anticon) .................................................. New release from frequent Andrew Bird collaborator Martin Dosh. For his 5th album, he had 2 goals. First: Get loose. 2008's Wolves and Wishes took a step in this direction by way of its guests- freewheelers like Bonnie "Prince" Billy and Odd Nosdam- but Dosh records are well-known for their impeccable arrangements. Dosh's 2nd goal seemed to directly conflict with the first: Explore thicker terrain for his already seething soundscapes. More drums. More vocals. And new to the Dosh catalog, lots of low end. But instead of clutter, this unique brand of maximalist, rhythm-driven post-rock sweeps lilting beauty, serious beats and even airy moments into its comely whirlwind. Freelance Whales - Weathervanes (Frenchkiss) .................................................. Calling them multi-instrumentalists might be overdone. Freelance Whales are really just collectors, at heart. They don t really fancy buffalo nickels or Victorian furniture, but over the past two years, they ve been collecting instruments, ghost stories, and dream-logs. Somehow, from this strange compost heap of strange sounds and quiet thoughts, songs started to rise up like steam from the ground. Swirling with organic and synthetic textures, interlocking rhythmic patterns, and light harmonic vocals, the record works to tell a simple, pre-adolescent love story: a young male falls in love with a spectral young femme who haunts his childhood home. The Fresh & Onlys - August On My Mind 12" (Captured Tracks) .................................................. New EP from this up-and-coming San Francisco group who also have releases on Woodsist, Trouble in Mind and Castle Face. Also on tour w/ King Khan & the Shrines. They kick up an excellent, hazy dust storm with the standout opener Diamond In The Dark. Kaki King - Junior (Rounder) .................................................. Singer & guitarist extraordinaire, Kaki has spent the past decade gathering critical acclaim and fan admiration for her unparalleled guitar skills. Not only is she the first ever female named a "Guitar God" by Rolling Stone, but she also received a Golden Globe nomination for her contribution to the musical score of Sean Penn's 2007 film, Into the Wild. That same year, King appeared in August Rush as the protagonists guitar double, performed on the Foo Fighters' Grammy winning album, Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, as well as opened for them during their Australia tour. MGMT - Congratulations (Columbia) .................................................. Congratulations unlocks a new musical world whirling in its own space/time grid infused with hints of music from the past 5 decades. Produced by MGMT and Sonic Boom (Spacemen 3), Congratulations features MGMT's core duo, performing with Matt Asti (bass), Will Berman (drums), and James Richardson (guitar), the band's live line-up. Congratulations is the successor to MGMT's Oracular Spectacular, the 2008 debut album. Soulful and complex, Congratulations is a surprising and delightful quantum step forward in MGMT's ongoing pop revolution. Sightings - City of Straw (Jagjaguwar) .................................................. Sightings will insist that at their core they are a rock band working within the context of pop song-craft. As bassist Richard Hoffman says, "I think everyone in the band tries to remember the value of minimalism. Ultimately I think we try to write pop music, where there's no chaff and everything has a place." With a deep reach beyond the spirit of their influence from greats like Birthday Party, The Dead C and Jesus Lizard, City of Straw finds Sightings working at the peak of their creative powers and is the perfect re-introduction to one of NY's most accomplished bands. Mark Sultan - $ (Last Gang) .................................................. Mark Sultan is back. The longtime fixture in the garage-rock scene since fronting infamous Montreal punk band, The Spacesh!ts, returns with his latest and greatest work yet. Further projects like Les Sexareenos, BBQ, Mind Controls, The King Khan & BBQ Show and The Almighty Defenders cemented his reputation as the man who spearheaded the modern garage-rock and doo-wop movement. Drawing from his usual influences, Mark has forged an inventive and captivatingly original record. Doo-wop, R&B, punk, soul, garage-rock, psyche, country and even noise are blended into a seamless new sound that finds a place on the base of your spine and crawls its way up, slowly. Tallest Man on Earth - The Wild Hunt (Dead Oceans) .................................................. With unbridled excitement, we bring you The Tallest Man on Earth's second LP, The Wild Hunt. It is all here: The words. The voice. The melodies. Ten perfect songs. The Wild Hunt picks up where 2008's Shallow Grave left off, with Matsson doing what he does best. It is unmistakably The Tallest Man on Earth, from the urgent strums of "You're Going Back" and the sweet melodies of "Love is All," to the playful lyricism of live favorite "King of Spain" and the subtle hook on "Burden of Tomorrow."

ATO Records is pleased to announce the release of The Drive-By Truckers' label debut, The Big To-Do. The album, which will be the band's 10th in their 13-year career, is scheduled to be released March 16, 2010. The Big To-Do features 13 new tracks from the Drive-By Truckers and was produced by their long time producer, David Barbe (Sugar, Bettye LaVette). "It's very much a rock album," says Patterson Hood of the Trucker's upcoming release. "Very melodic and more rocking than anything we've done since disc 2 of Southern Rock Opera." The Whigs - In The Dark (ATO) .................................................. With their stunning third album, In The Dark, the Whigs have gone widescreen. Bursting with energy, emotion, and unpredictable experimentation, the Athens, GA-based trio tear open the artistic envelope, bringing both nuance and eclectics strength to songs like "Hundred/Million" and the raucous first single, "Kill Me Carolyne." In The Dark is both atmospheric and ambitious, without losing the pedal-to-the-metal power that earned them universal praise as one of America's finest young rock-n' roll bands. She and Him - Volume Two (Merge) .................................................. She & Him are here to stay. Zooey Deschanel and Matt Ward are a comfortable and complementary musical pair; hearing them again on Volume Two feels like getting together with two old friends. This time, the harmonies have grown more angelically layered, the string arrangements more dramatic, the songwriting even sharper and more confident. All songs (except  4 and 7) were written by Zooey Deschanel and produced by M. Ward. Autechre - Oversteps (Warp) .................................................. Oversteps shows an oft-overlooked playfulness and a rarely mentioned musicality that comes to the fore-front, in what could be described as their most accessible work to date. Between the layers of cold digital pings and fuzzed out tones, there are true chord changes and warm soundscapes being built from the ground up. Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings - I Learned the Hard Way (Daptone) .................................................. Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings are already well known as one of the most exciting acts in the nation for both their explosive live shows and their prolific output of gritty studio recordings. Their breakout release, 100 Days, 100 Nights, sold over 150,000 copies worldwide. This spring the band will release I Learned the Hard Way, their fourth full-length on Brooklyn's independent Daptone Records. The record marks a bold step forward for a band who almost single handedly stewarded today's return of soul music to its more traditional sound. -------------------------------------------------- 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!
