New instore performance: FREE - This Saturday May 3rd at 5PM we will be featuring the classic power pop sounds of 1-800-BAND! This four-piece outfit from modern-day NYC draws a sound that hearkens back to the late 70s. Not the gritty punk of The Heartbreakers, Ramones or Richard Hell. Moreso bands that flirted with the outskirts of the punk scene without denying their poppier influences, bands like Blondie, Joe Jackson, and most definitely The Cars. Frontman Al Huckabee embraces vocals that are a slick combination of Ric Ocasek and Generation X-era Billy Idol. Check out their video for Diver Blue and we'll see you Saturday May 3rd at 5PM at Landlocked! Our next Uel Zing + Hopscotch Coffee Event is this Sunday, May 4th. Featuring a tasty, fresh-roasted pour over coffee bar, plus full A-side spins of the new long-players by: Wye Oak, Chad Van Gaalen, Pattern is Movement, Pink Mountaintops, The Horrors, Tune-Yards, and more! Sunday from 1-4pm. Smells and sounds are free, souvenirs at a nominal cost. Join us in celebrating the Bloomington area tourism industry by rewarding the very best of the best!

Mike Adams at his Honest Weight - Best of Boiler Room Classics (Joyful Noise / Flannelgraph) Best of Boiler Room Classics has the subtle, earnest warmth of an album like the Clientele's Strange Geometry but with the arena-ready grandeur of ELO's Out Of The Blue. While there is an unforgettable instant catchiness to these songs, there is a depth, both lyrically and musically, that makes repeated listens a delight. What if The Wonders songs in That Thing You Do were actually performed by The Pernice Brothers? What if Dee Dee Ramone wrote "Late For The Sky" instead of Jackson Browne? What if Todd Rundgren engineered a Cass McCombs record? Only one way to find out - and get a FREE shirt while supplies last! William Tyler - Lost Colony 12" (Merge) This limited-edition 12" features the new song "Whole New Dude," a full-band reworking of "We Can't Go Home Again" from Impossible Truth, and "Karussell," a cover of a Michael Rother (Neu!) song. Including a pedal steel guitar-infused cover of "Karussell" explores Tyler's enthusiasm for seventies German psychedelic music. He said, "I am trying to explore the territory between country rock and 'Krautrock.' It's something I would like to go into more when approaching my next album." Chad VanGaalen - Shrink Dust (Sub Pop) Shrink Dust is the 5th album by Calgary, Alberta's Chad VanGaalen. The album is, in Chad's view, a country record. It is also a score to Chad's upcoming animated, sci-fi feature, Translated Log of Inhabitants ("It's like Bob & Doug McKenzie in space"). The album is infused with pedal-steel guitar; themes of death, transformation, fear, benign evil, and the eccentricity of love; and the influences of The Flying Burrito Brothers, and the sci-fi mysticism of the graphic novel The Incal by Alejandro Jodorowsky and Moebius. Wye Oak - Shriek (Merge) Jenn Wasner and Andy Stack have spent most of their lives in Baltimore. But after 2 years of constant touring, they landed on opposite sides of the country with an unknown future. The two embraced their physical distance, passing ideas back and forth, allowing work to evolve in their respective solitudes. Shriek is Wye Oak's 4th full-length and the culmination of their intent to express the emotional and intuitive self by acting out animalistic exclamations through cathartic release. VA - Farewell Transmission: The Music of Jason Molina (Rock the Cause) Jason Molina died last year at 39. Most contributors here either emulate Molina's earthy rock or refract it into smaller pieces. Catherine Irwin locates "Steve Albini's Blues" in the mist of Appalachia. Wooden Wand strips the blues-rocker "Don't This Look Like the Dark" to an acoustic reading that mines its pathos. Sarah Jaffe entirely inhabits "Alone With the Owl," her understated but cutting vocals hitting deep under the skin. Diehards will bliss out to the unhurried stroll through the corridors of a haunted mind. Also includes tracks from My Morning Jacket, Black Swans, Murder by Death, Will Johnson, Water Liars, Bottomless Pit, and 2 tracks from Memorial Electric Co. Damon Albarn - Everyday Robots (XL) Albarn is first to admit he's a restless soul when it comes to music. What's certain is that all of the projects of his musical career thus far - from Blur to Gorillaz, The Good, The Bad & The Queen, Mali Music, Monkey: Journey To The West or Dr Dee - help form this singular artist's musical DNA. Ghosts of Albarn's boyhood walk hand-in-hand with reflections on life and love, on nature versus technology. He visits more recent habitats as well as pondering the trappings of modern existence such as computer games and mobile phones. Pink Mountaintops - Get Back (Jagjaguwar) The record's beginnings were reasonably straightforward: McBean had moved to LA, taken a long hiatus from Black Mountain and an even longer one from Pink Mountaintops when he met producer Joe Cardamone, lead singer of Icarus Line, in Burbank, CA. The two bonded quickly over Flying Nun bands, Television Personalities, Roxy Music, Johnny Thunders, and Born Against. Joe was excited to meet someone he actually liked. Stephen was excited to work with someone who said "Sing it like you would've sung it when you were 21." Pixies - Indie Cindy (PIAS) The legends release their first studio album since 1991's 'Trompe Le Monde'. Its the sound of a band firing on all cylinders, eager to pick up where they left off. Featuring the classic recipe of softer/louder dynamics, surf twang and rock crunch, Black Francis' darkly comical lyrics, and an array of singles 'Bagboy', 'Blue Eyed Hexe' and 'Greens and Blues', these 12 tracks try hard to win over die-hard fans and newcomers alike. Free poster with purchase! Broken Twin - May (Anti) Danish artist Broken Twin: the performing moniker of a young and exciting musician, Majke Voss Romme. Her 2012 self-released EP "Hold On To Nothing" and deeply moving live performances have already begun to cause a stir in the music press. NME declared that "Broken Twin is the most arrestingly beautiful songwriter we've heard in aeons," while Pitchfork selected her for Best New Tracks and stated that "there's something about the unaffected clarity of Broken Twin that rings true straight away." Fennesz - Becs (Mego) The last time Fennesz released an album on Austrian label Mego it was 2001 and the name of that release was Endless Summer. Eschewing the more drone-oriented works of Black Sea, Becs returns to the more florid pop mechanisms as deployed on Endless Summer. Becs is not just an album or a series of songs, it's a world to inhabit, a landscape ripe with sounds, songs and that esteemed Fennesz signature. A singular work by a singular artist. Ray LaMontagne - Supernova (RCA) Supernova was produced by Dan Auerbach (Black Keys) and recorded in Nashville, TN. Ray's most recent album, critically acclaimed Grammy award winning album God Willin' & the Creek Don't Rise debuted at #3 on the Billboard Top 200. God Willin' & the Creek Don't Rise garnered 3 Grammy Award nominations including the coveted Song of The Year category for "Beg Steal or Borrow" and won the Grammy for Best Contemporary Folk Album. Rodrigo y Gabriela - 9 Dead Alive (ATO) 9 Dead Alive sees Rodrigo y Gabriela playing face to face, guitar versus guitar, bursting with melodic energy and rhythmic invention. Recorded at their Pacific Coast hideaway in late summer, the album captures the warmth and spontaneity of two great musicians locked in together; perfectly distilled into nine new songs teeming with desire, elegance and gusto. Old 97s - Most Messed Up (ATO) Most Messed Up finds the Old 97's at their raucous best, all swagger and heart, and just a little bit tipsy. Titles like 'Wasted,' 'Intervention,' and 'Wheels Off,' hint at the kind of narrators Rhett Miller likes to inhabit, men who possess an appetite for indulgence and won't let a few bad decisions get in the way of a good story. Eli "Paperboy" Reed - Nights Like This (WB) Eli is an emerging talent who already has two albums under his belt, including Roll With You and Come & Get It, which earned the soul singer an especially loyal fan following in Europe so much so that he was nominated as "Breakthrough Artist of the Year" by MOJO Magazine. For the singer's Warner Bros. debut, Eli took his affinity for classic Chicago soul and blended it with a new found respect for modern pop music. The result is a collection of songs that extend far beyond his neo-Motown roots. Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger - Midnight Sun (Chimera) With an infectious sense of adventure and several years of touring under their belt, Sean Lennon and Charlotte Kemp Muhl have taken their creative and savvy approach to psychedelia to new extremes. Midnight Sun celebrates the unusual and the grandiose but fundamentally it just rocks hard and feels good. GOASTT give a guided tour of bold, shape-shifting sonic murals and evocative lyrical panoramas. Ramona Lisa (Chairlift) - Arcadia (Terrible) Caroline Polachek took a break last year from her synth-pop band Chairlift to work on her solo project, Ramona Lisa, and record an album. Arcadia was crafted solely on a laptop by Polachek, manipulating MIDI samples and singing directly into the laptop's mic. Though the recording may have been cloistered and intimate, the result is a pastoral, loose, and sunny collection of songs. Chris Robinson Brotherhood - Phosphorescent Harvest (Silver Arrow) A treasure trove of 10 songs - including several the band road-tested over the last few years - that advances the band's kaleidoscopic sound, which is deely soulful, rootsy and spacey all at once. There's strong songcraft here, with a free-flowing delivery; it is music that is in no hurry to reach its destination but firmly knows where it's going. Free mood ring with purchase! Strange Talk - Cast Away (Wind-Up) The press has been quick to take notice with Rolling Stone (Australia) giving Cast Away a 4 out of 5 star review calling it "Equal parts Cut Copy and Daft Punk with pinches of 80s pop, Strange Talk's album is a fizzy cocktail of synths, breathy vocals and tinny drums." Billboard said, "Stateside fans of stylish alt-pop acts like Empire of the Sun, Cut Copy and Royksopp will be getting very familiar with Strange Talk." String Cheese Incident - Song in My Head (Loud & Proud) Song In My Head is perhaps the band's tightest and most skillful album yet. After years of feeling more like live players than studio musicians, the band members finally tapped into the skill that two decades worth of performing brings. There's also an overarching sense of joy and renewed passion throughout. Free bonus CD + poster with purchase! Tape & Vinyl & Print Zone ..................................................
