What else could you possible ask for as an early birthday present? NEW ARRIVALS for February 15th .................................................. AgesAndAges - Alright You Restless (Knitting Factory) .................................................. AgesandAges is not a cult. Sure, the 7-piece Portland group exudes enough electric joy that it feels like a big tent revival. And sure, one finds oneself using church words to describe the band's sound: a powerful, life-affirming and exploratory blend of lessons learned, set ablaze with a buoyant, unbridled optimism. And yeah, there are frequent lyrical references to voluntary seclusion, communal living and existence 'under the radar' littered throughout the band's debut. Bright Eyes - The People's Key (Saddle Creek) .................................................. Since 2006 the once revolving cast of Bright Eyes players has settled around permanent members Conor Oberst, Mike Mogis and Nate Walcott, with additional musicians joining them in the studio and on tour. Fully realized and bursting with charisma, The People's Key is an assured and accomplished album, artfully arranged and filled with the engaging and mesmeric songwriting for which Oberst is renowned. The first pressing of LP version includes the CD. The Dears - Degeneration Street (Dangerbird) .................................................. Degeneration Street, the fifth album from The Dears, reunites the original lineup that brought you "Lost in the Plot" and delivers the passion and soul that has earned the adoration of fans and critics worldwide. From the electrifying nihlist pop anthem Thrones, to the star-scraping heights of Galactic Tides; from the grimy opener Omega Dog, to the Motown sci-fi of Lamentation, Degeneration Street is, definitively, The Dears. Drive By Truckers - Go-Go Boots (ATO) .................................................. Go-Go Boots builds on their roots with the old Muscle Shoals country-and-soul sound. 'We recorded nearly 40 songs last year and into this year and fairly early on divided it into two separate albums' explains DBT co-founder Patterson Hood. 'The Big To-Do, releases first, was the more straightforward 'rock' album. Go-Go Boots is what I sometimes (semi-jokingly) refer to as our country, soul, and murder ballad album. Those elements definitely play into it, but it's a little more open ended than that.' Free bonus EP while supplies last! Check out the documentary DVD that comes out today as well. East River Pipe - We Live In Rented Rooms (Merge) .................................................. East River Pipe's music has been described by the NY Times as "gentle, smart, and unspeakably sad." Rolling Stone characterized him as "one of our generation's great eccentric songwriters." Sometimes harrowing, occasionally scathing, and often heartbreakingly beautiful, his songs have been covered by artists as diverse as David Byrne, Lambchop, Mountain Goats and Okkervil River. ERP's 7th LP continues FM Cornog's journey into America's darklands. PJ Harvey - Let England Shake (Vagrant) .................................................. Recorded in a 19th Century church in Dorset, on a cliff-top overlooking the sea. It was created with a cast of musicians including such long-standing allies as Flood, John Parish, and Mick Harvey. What is remarkable about Let England Shake is bound up with its music, its abiding atmosphere and in particular, its words. If Harvey's past work might seem to draw of direct emotional experience, this album centers on both her home country, and events further afield in which it has embroiled itself. The lyrics return, time and again, to the matter of war, the fate of the people who must do the fighting, and events separated by whole ages, from Afghanistan to Gallipoli. Not many people make records like this. Hawk and a Hacksaw - Cervantine (Lm Dupli-Cation) .................................................. A record that gloriously connects their deep fascination with the folk and gypsy groups of former Yugoslavia, Greece and Romania with their actual home in the desert plains of the American Southwest. The group's natural blend of diverse global musical styles with their indie rock background lends them the kind of cross-audience appeal enjoyed by bands including Beirut and Calexico, while their strong sense of musicality and cultural context draws more left-field listeners to them as well. Recorded live at their studio in Albuquerque between tours, its the vibrant sound of an American band whose geographical and cultural travels bear on their already distinctive music. La Sera - s/t (Hardly Art) .................................................. The debut full length from La Sera, the new project of "Kickball" Katy Goodman (Vivian Girls). La Sera showcases Goodman's signature style, bringing her talent for creating dreamy pop songs to the forefront. Inspired by early pop hits of the 1950s, her new songs contain warm celestial-pop melodies that echo with the dreamlike effect of a church choir and effuse a softer, less aggressive sound than the Vivian Girls. Mogwai - Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will (Sub Pop) .................................................. Mogwai was birthed in the halcyon days of the mid-90s and helped Glasgow become one of the real bright spots in the musical universe again. Not everyone gets Mogwai, but that's what makes them great. Theirs is a majestic, powerful sound where barely a word is spoken yet it is the antithesis of background music. Album and song titles bemuse, confuse and delight in equal measure and live, they are utterly unstoppable. Recorded at Chem 19 studios with producer Paul Savage (who recorded Young Team), Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will is the band's 7th album. Ty Segall - Live in Aisle 5 LP (Southpaw) .................................................. Over the summer Ty Segall played to a sold out crowd in San Francisco at the Southpaw one year anniversary party. Live in Aisle Five captures Ty in an amazing live set and includes ten classic Ty songs, one new song, and two killer cover songs! All recorded by Eric Bauer who was the mastermind behind Ty's latest effort "Melted" and he did a killer job! This release is a one time pressing of 1000. Sonic Youth - Simon Werner A Disparu (SYR) .................................................. Last spring, Sonic Youth gathered at their Echo Canyon West studio in Hoboken, NJ to watch the rushes of a new film, Simon Werner a Disparu, by French director Fabrice Gobert. They spent the following few weeks recording music which was then shaped as needed to fit the various scenes. For this release, rather than present the small clips of music as used in the film, the band went back in the autumn to the original tapes and re-organized the various pieces for this original soundtrack release, sometimes montaging multiple tracks together, other times extending cues into new sonic realms. Telekenisis - 12 Desperate Straight Lines (Merge) .................................................. When Telekinesis mastermind Michael Benjamin Lerner set out to record songs for the follow-up to his debut album he found himself with no band, a case of vertigo, and a wrecked van. The long-distance relationship that inspired his debut album's songs of wanderlust had ended, and Michael was inspired (by the heavy, fuzzy bass in Flin Flon's A-OK) to buy a bass guitar and again record with Chris Walla at Portland's Jackpot! Studios. The result is twelve new songs of heartache, anger, and even a little hopefulness. Twilight Singers - Dynamite Sleeps (Sub Pop) .................................................. "Whenever you're here, you're alive" are the first words sungon Dynamite Steps, the fifth album from Greg Dulli's TwilightSingers collective, and the group's first in five years. Dynamite Steps explores the thin line between life and death, mortality and immortality, resignation and celebration that mythical moment when your life flashes before your eyes, drawn out here over the course of eleven songs. Yuck - s/t (Fat Possum) .................................................. Over this past year, Yuck have emerged as one of the best and brightest new bands, not to mention one of the most mercurial and unpredictable. This is a confident, wildly ambitious record, but also one which brims over with a ragged warmth and tenderness, tipping its hat at alt music heroes past such as East River Pipe, Dinosaur Jr and Sparklehorse while at the same time retaining a unique identity entirely its own. The Vinyl Zone (get into the groove!) .................................................. CEO - White Magic LP (Modular) Girls at Dawn - Back to You 7" (Tic Tac Totally) Kleenex/Liliput - s/t 4LP (Mississippi) Ramma Lamma - Tiger 7" (Certified Pr) Soldiers of Fortune - Ball Strength 12" (Mexican Summer) Sonic Youth - Bad Moon Rising LP (Original) Spacemen 3 - Transparent Radiation EP (Fire) Sparklehorse - Good Morning Spider LP (Plain) Vacant Lots - Confusion 7" (Mexican Summer) Also Released This Week ..................................................

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!
