There are so many records out today that if you don’t find anything you like, I might question your commitment to music.
na: beirut, tinariwen and more
A batch of new titles from today and yesterday after the jump.
Let’s go, let’s go! I’m the Neil Hamburger of this shit!
Some great, charming new Sub Pop records today, and a few other things, including a sweeping, gorgeous new M83 single. A light week, to be frank, but I’m open to anything else you all found that caught your eye. Mister Heavenly, Out of Love – A nice hip-shifting, groovy fluidity to this one, a classic [...]
OK! Another Tuesday, another insane batch of records! Here we go!
new arrivals: washed out & more
Oh man! Chillwave, gettin’ dirty! Here we go! New Arrivals! Let’s do this! Don’t forget to tell us what we missed in the comments.
OK! Here we are! July 5th! America is another year older, and I have eaten 38 more hamburgers than I had last week at this time. Predictably, today’s release schedule is a bit light, but I still found a few interesting asides worth mentioning. Also, I’ve been writing this post for the better part of [...]
All Beyonce, all day on my stereo. Queen B and more, after the jump. Call out what I’m sleeping on in the comments.
download: nonesuch classical
Man, I don’t know where to begin. One of the most best labels ever. Nonesuch is the home to most of my favorite classical recordings of all time, and most of them came in with today’s new haul. The Kronos Quartet, John Adams, Philip Glass, Terry Riley, Arvo Part, Louis Andriessen… we got quite a [...]
(you downloaded this already, right?) Army Navy, The Last Place: The latest entry into our eMusic Selects series, Army Navy deliver power-pop heartbreak writ large. We love this album, obviously, and we think you will, too. Jayson has even more to say: It’s not shocking to learn that the inspiration behind Army Navy’s emotionally devastated [...]
(ricky’s cousin?) A pair of old faves return, plus a whole host of new faves waiting to win your heart. Jay Reatard gets reissued and the Profound Lore label brings us, “pure funeral doom-dirge art.” It’s a crazy morning, so I only have time to all out a few — you tell me what I [...]
na: art brut
Relatively light overall today — let’s get started!
new arrival: emi!
Surprise!! So now you know why things have been so quiet around here lately! Today, new in the U.S., eMusic is happy to welcome the EMI catalog. From rock pioneers like David Bowie, Brian Eno, Roxy Music and the Beach Boys to cutting-edge new artists like LCD Soundsystem, the Knife, Hot Chip — plus offshoot/distributed [...]
na: thee oh sees, the elected
(Today’s Cover Contest Winner) OK! Tons of new stuff today from Thee Oh Sees, The Elected, Killer Mike and more. To quote the great Greg X Volz in the middle of Louie Weaver’s drum solo: “Let’s get into it!”
(album cover of the day) So I’m going to be so bold as to say that the record you need to be mainly concerned about today is the one we’ve been talking up here for a few weeks now, EMA’s Past Life Martyred Saints. We’ll get into that one, plus new albums by Okkervil River [...]
new arrivals: fleet foxes & more
(and America’s least, amirite?) Lots of metal today, which I promise, I had little to do with. Fleet Foxes get harmonic (and Six Degrees-ed), Architecture in Helsinki gets danceable and the Country Formerly Known as Persia gets funky. LET’S DO THIS
New Fleet Foxes, Wave Pictures, Hong Kong in the 60s, Leisure Society, mysterious old darkwave, and more, after the jump — follow us!
na: poly styrene, thao + mirah
(one of the greats) Jesus. First Ari Up, now Poly Styrene. Two legends and inspirations gone way, way too soon. I had to really barrel through this morning’s picks, so I probably missed a few – please fill me in in the comments!
Want a handy guide to this week’s best new records? Follow me: Explosions in The Sky, The Feelies, Talvin Singh, Matthewdavid, and waaaay more after the jump. Music! Let’s do this!
We’ve got a pretty decent haul of stuff today, so let’s get started!
