Bring your kids, bring your granny, buy some records, shake your fanny! THIS INSTORE PERFORMANCE HAS BEEN MOVED TO SATURDAY AFTERNOON 4/27!

He also has a brand new solo album on Merge Records entitled Impossible Truth. And he will be stopping by Landlocked Music to play an instore performance on Sunday, April 28th at 1PM. Watch a video teaser and come hang out! POW WOW - Jangly, upbeat 60s-style pop/rock from members of The Perennials and The Midwest Beat. Straight outta Milwaukee, WI. Live and FREE at Landlocked Music on Saturday April 27th, starting at 4pm. Come on out & have a real good time! New Arrivals for April 23rd .................................................. Appleseed Cast - Illumination Ritual (Graveface) .................................................. A lot has changed for Lawrence, KS, post-rock outfit The Appleseed Cast over the 14 years since their founding. With "Illumination Ritual", they've embraced not only a new line-up, but also hopscotching time signatures and a tumultuous anthemic energy that rivals anything else in their consistently impressive catalog. Musical interplay between band members is something Appleseed Cast is known for, but the level of counterpoint and intricate yet chaotic energy is unmatched to anything they've done to date. The songs are energetic, sweeping, full of atmosphere, melancholy yet hopeful, driving, determined, and unabashed. Goodhands Team - Austerity Measures (Red Frost Industries) .................................................. "Austerity Measures" is the third release for the new Bloomington label Red Frost Industries and the first to be released on vinyl. Limited to 100 copies, housed in a two color metallic screenprint w/ graph paper insert and mini photo... comes with a download code for the 'director's cut' of the LP, which contains an additional 30 minutes of material and a photo gallery. Musically the album should appeal to fans of such labels as Kompakt, Warp or Mille Plateaux. Specific points of reference may include Kraftwerk's "Man Machine", Matmos' "Supreme Balloon", or Kid 606's "PS I Love You & PS You Love Me". Featuring members of Dust From 1000 Years, Early Day Miners and more. Tom Jones - Spirit in the Room (Rounder) .................................................. Knighted for his service to music, with numerous gold and platinum records and Top 40 Hits, Sir Tom Jones is one of the all time great vocalists to emerge from the British Invasion. Following in the spirited and undaunted footsteps of the critically lauded Praise & Blame (2010), and Pop icon though he is, Jones has delivered a landmark album that has a unique kind of magic and is different from anything he has ever done. It features all new repertoire made up of gospel, blues and Americana, and includes songs by Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, Odetta, Paul McCartney, Tom Waits and Leonard Cohen. Spirit in the Room marks a new, adventurous path, one that is rootsy, bluesy, bold, and raw. Luke Winslow King - The Coming Tide (Bloodshot) .................................................. Debut from the guitarist, singer and songwriter best known for his slide guitar work, and interest in prewar Blues and traditional Jazz. His work consists of an eclectic mix, taking in Delta Folk music, classical composition, Ragtime, and Rock 'n' Roll; juxtaposing original songs with those from a bygone era. LWK, originally from Cadillac, Michigan, moved to New Orleans by chance in 2001. During a decade in New Orleans, he has collaborated with a revered list of local musicians, including: John Boutte, Washboard Chaz Leary, and Paul Sanchez. Performing years of weekly gigs on Frenchmen Street, he has honed his sound and earned respect as leader among the young traditionalists. k-os - BLack on BLonde (Nettwerk) .................................................. BLack on BLonde is Canadian hip hop's first double album and the only thing large enough to contain k-os' enormous musical ideas. Recorded at Hayden Christensen's deserted Laurel Canyon mansion, written while k-os was falling in love; BLack on BLonde is comprised of two essential records: an album of rock tracks on which k-os sings and plays drums, guitar and bass, and an album of hip hop jams. Featured guests on the album include Black Thought of The Roots, Sam Roberts, Travie McCoy, Emily Haines, and Cory Hart. Lilacs & Champagne - Danish & Blue (Mexican Summer) .................................................. The project of Grails' Emil Amos and Alex Hall, is built on warped samples and scorched guitar solos, creating a playful, psychedelic take on damaged funk and pop. The duo's debut suggested a template for a new kind of psychotic mood music, and the follow up manages to be both darker and more ambitious. Made up of sounds sourced from Scandinavian porn and hyper-obscure b-movies from the late 60s, Danish & Blue pulls from records other DJs wouldn't touch by strategy. "We want to twist the knife as far as it can go into sample-based methodology, by taking pieces of loner music history and empowering them to shed light on both the pathetic side of human life and its improbable beauty." Steve Martin & Edie Brickell - Love Has Come For You (Rounder) .................................................. Steve is currently in the 5th decade of a varied and accomplished career as a comedian, actor, author and playwright, and as a Grammy-winning, boundary-pushing bluegrass banjoist and songwriter. His fellow Texas native Edie Brickell initially burst onto the national scene in the late 80s fronting the New Bohemians, and has since carved out an iconoclastic solo career that's solidified her reputation as compelling singer and a songwriter of rare insight. Their inaugural effort is a substantial departure, as a well as a creative milestone, for both artists. 13 eloquently rootsy compositions that combine inventive, expressive 5-string banjo work with the heart-tugging vocals and vivid, detail-rich lyrics. Produced by legendary musician and producer, Peter Asher, and features Esperanza Spalding, Waddy Wachtel, Nickel Creek alumni Sara Watkins and Sean Watkins, as well as the Steep Canyon Rangers, it is playful, spacious, and irresistibly accessible. The Neighborhood - I Love You (Columbia) .................................................. On their debut album, The Neighbourhood reach into the stratosphere and craft 11 moody, atmospheric rock tracks. The LA newcomers adore soaring textures and add them liberally to such tracks as "How," "Everybody's Watching Me (Uh Oh)" and "Let It Go" - along with doses of mechanical drums, opaque tones and cloudy vocals from frontman Jesse Rutherford. "Alleyways" kicks into another gear with head-bobbing kicks and a streamlined clarity that brings Rutherford's voice to the forefront. "Afraid" coasts on frustrated emotions that bubble to the surface, and closing track "Float" skates by with skippy percussion. - Rolling Stone No Joy - Wait to Pleasure (Mexican Summer) .................................................. No Joy still sounds like a shoegaze band, but on Wait To Pleasure you can hear what's happening under the surface, a work that subverts the expectations of where a latter-day approach to that genre might be able to take the listener. "We get a lot of the obvious comparisons," Laura says about the band's music, favorably likened to the stormier side of the pond, where bands like Lush and Swervedriver used to reside, as well as the templates for that sound in groups like Husker Du. Phoenix - Bankrupt (Glassnote) .................................................. The fifth album from the French quartet. The album is the long awaited follow-up to their hit 2009 album Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. Bankrupt is a slight departure from their more recent Pop-oriented releases and focuses on their more experimental side while still remaining melodic and refreshing. Features the single 'Entertainment'. Regular and deluxe CD available, as well as LP. Free poster with purchase while they last! Snoop Lion - Reincarnated (RCA) .................................................. Reincarnated is the reggae and dancehall influenced album executive produced by Diplo and the Major Lazer production team. "Major Lazer and I had a special opportunity to focus on recording Reincarnated from top-to-bottom with no interruptions in Jamaica. From my time spent with the people and in the streets, these songs are based on peace, love, and the struggle." said Snoop Lion. "Here Comes The King is a taste of what's to come off that Reincarnated album and movie. It's going to be an exciting 2013. Bless up." Technicolor Teeth - Teenage Pagans LP (Houseplant) .................................................. Truly expansive and more than a touch psychedelic, Technicolor Teeth's take on the Appleton sound is relatively 'pop'. A nasty squeal of fretwork heralds the opening of Teenage Pagans, before the bog-standard grunge power chords of 'Magick Sunlamp' morph into a shoegazey mulch of misheard lyrics and reverb. It's as good an intro as any. Most arresting, though, is the breakdown halfway through: the music is interrupted by a sound that could be heavy machinery or a dentist's drill on teeth. Normal service is soon resumed, but the interlude introduces the strong vein of psychedelia running through Teenage Pagans. Tape & Vinyl Zone .................................................. Bill Fay - Time of the Last Persecution LP (4 Men With Beards) Little Wings - [cassettes] () Microphones - Don't Wake Me LP (P.W. Elverum) Also Released This Week ..................................................
