The first week of March is Landlocked Music's FIVE YEAR ANNIVERSARY! We are so excited that we're throwing our own party and doing it early, too. On Monday February 21st at The Bishop, Paul Collins / Half Rats / Charlie & the Skunks are playing. The first 100 people to come into Landlocked can pick up a FREE TICKET to the show!

You might know The Nerves from the original version of "Hanging on the Telephone", later made famous by Blondie. Bring your stamped ticket stub back to Landlocked and redeem it for $1 off any new or used CD or LP. Undeniable pop hooks for an unbelievably great night of music - you will not want to miss this! Music at 9PM and you have to be 18+ to enter The Bishop. Tickets $5 at the door. NEW ARRIVALS for February 8th .................................................. Akron/Family - The Cosmic Birth and Journey of Shinju TNT (Dead Oceans) .................................................. Finally, after over a month of unanswered emails and text messages, blown deadlines, and pleas to finish and turn in their new album, last week, a large brown cardboard box showed up at the Dead Oceans doorstep. Upon miraculous resuscitation of the original AKAK hard drive, the album layers thousands of minute imperceptible samples of their first recordings with fuzzed-out representations of their present beings to induce pleasant emotional feeling states and many momentary transcendent inspirations. This album is titled S/T II: The Cosmic Birth and Journey of Shinju TNT. And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead - Tao of the Dead (Superball) .................................................. ...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead have consistently specialized in soundtracking the breaking of the seventh seal. For those of you less schooled in scripture, that means they make music fit for the end of the world, whether it is an interior existence troubled by nightmares and doubt or an exterior reality continually plagued by environmental disaster, neocolonialism and unending Wars on Whatever. The band recorded the album with Beach House/Yeah Yeah Yeahs producer Chris Coady. Cut Copy - Zonoscope (Modular) .................................................. The third album from the Australian Synthpopsters. This is Cut Copy boiled down to their purest form: a suite of futuristic visions built upon primal rhythm tracks. It is at once their most immediate work to date but also their most sonically exquisite. Zonoscope was dreamt in the comedown of In Ghost Colours, the album which cemented Cut Copy as a global sensation. Recorded over a six month period and mixed in Atlanta by Ben H. Allen (Animal Collective, Gnarls Barkley, Deerhunter), Zonoscope paints a mesmerizing picture, conjured by a band at the height of their powers. Esben and the Witch - Violet Cries (Matador) .................................................. Violet Cries is the haunting, powerful debut from Brighton, England's ESBEN AND THE WITCH, playing an assortment of guitars, effects, keyboards and a single monumental tom-tom. Esben paint a thick palette of sound, with echoes of late Scott Walker and Nick Cave in the instrumentation, Flowers of Romance-era PiL and Gang Gang Dance in its tribal excursions, and female vocalists from Lisa Gerrard to PJ Harvey in Davies's powerful tremelo voice. Jessica Lea Mayfield - Tell Me (Nonesuch) .................................................. New release from the singer best known for her duet with The Black Keys on their "Things Ain't Like They Used To Be". Tell Me is a stunningly forthright set that addresses late-night longing, serial heartbreak, and intoxicatingly dangerous liaisons conducted in dimly lit barrooms or roadside motels. By the end, the only heart intact is Mayfield's own. It's as if she'd stripped the sentimentality and ruefulness from a bunch of classic Country songs, leaving only stark emotion. The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach, who produced and engineered Tell Me at his Easy Eye Sound System studio in Akron, Ohio, matches Mayfield's candor with eerily minimal, brilliantly constructed tracks that keep her mesmerizing, unadorned voice front and centre. Nobunny - Raw Romance (Burger) .................................................. FINALLY! It's Nobunny's Raw Romance on LP and CD! Originally released on cassette, this new LP is re-mastered and features new album art! For those who dunno: Raw Romance is a collection of unreleased songs, demos, live stuff and a smorgasbord of other Nobunny-goodness! Over the Rhine - The Long Surrender (Great Speckled Dog) .................................................. Produced by Grammy-award winning songwriter and producer, Joe Henry, with a world-class and of eight stellar musicians, The Long Surrender is a cinematic, soulful journey full of rewards and unexpected twists including a heart-rending, gorgeous duet with Lucinda Williams.

Each album has a review and enables you to listen to the entire album before you buy it. Give 'er a spin! Abigail Washburn - City of Refuge (Rounder) .................................................. In her relatively short musical career, Abigail Washburn has bounced between China and Appalachia, influencing her musical output and a body of work that goes far beyond the usual claw hammer banjo repertoire. City of Refuge is a sublime marriage of old-time and indie-pop. The album features My Morning Jacket's Carl Broemel, The Decemberists' Chris Funk, Turtle Island Quartet's Jeremy Kittell, Bill Frisell, Kenny Malone, Old Crow Medicine Show's Ketch Secor and Morgan Jahnig, Wu Fei, master of the guzheng, and the Mongolian stringband Hanggai. City of Refuge offers an expansive palette of supple and modern textures resulting in a remarkably harmonious piece of art. The Decemberists - The King is Dead (Capitol) .................................................. A set of 10 concise, country-based songs--marks a deliberate turn towards simplicity after the band's wildly ambitious and widely acclaimed 2009 song-cycle The Hazards of Love. Produced once again by Tucker Martine, The King Is Dead features special guest appearances by Americana luminary Gillian Welch on 7 tracks and legendary R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck on 3 tracks. Available as CD, CD+DVD, CD+DVD+Book or LP! Seth Glier - The Next Right Thing (Mpress) .................................................. Seth Glier is a 22-year-old singer/songwriter/musician from Massachusetts who's established himself nationally performing over 200 shows a year. His sophomore album from MPress Records, The Next Right Thing, is reminiscent of Billy Joel and Elton John. Glier's sophisticated, contemporary edge will appeal to fans of David Gray, Gavin DeGraw and Brandon Flowers. Produced by Seth Glier & Ryan Hommel; Mixed by Grammy (C) Winner Kevin Killen (Elvis Costello, Prince) and John Shyloski (Stephen Kellogg). Iron & Wine - Kiss Each Other Clean (Warner Bros) .................................................. It's been 3+ years since Iron & Wine's last studio effort, The Shepherd's Dog, which was widely praised by fans and critics alike. While Beam's early albums were sparse, intimate solo affairs, Shepherd's introduced layered textures and poly-rhythmic sounds that allowed his lyrics to spring to life. It's only natural then, that Beam took this sonic collage and built upon it for his new album, Kiss Each Other Clean. The result is a brighter, more focused record that retains the idiosyncratic elements that make Iron & Wine such an engaging band. Wanda Jackson - The Party Ain't Over (Nonesuch) .................................................. The Queen of Rockabilly presents her debut disc for Third Man/Nonesuch Records. The Party Ain't Over is a collection of vintage and contemporary covers produced by fan and new-found friend Jack White at his Nashville studio recorded with a late-night honky-tonk feel by members of My Morning Jacket, the Raconteurs, and Dead Weather, among others. The White-curated lineup of tunes showcases all the various types of music that Wanda has done through the years. -------------------------------------------------- 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://www.facebook.com/pages/Landlocked-Music/24299970219 or http://twitter.com/landlockedmusic We are looking to buy/trade all your old unwanted CDs & LPs!
