Lots to talk about this week, so let’s get right to it. This week’s flagship album may just be Tokyo Police Club's Elephant Shell. Their album is absolutely top-notch and we give our highest recommendation.
A few surprises before we get into some of the more talked about groups. A Great Big Pile Of Leaves is offering their mellow, yet pulsating album The Firey Works free on their website. After one listen through, I already have a few favorites. If you’re looking for some wonderful shoegaze, we recommend Christopher Bissonnette’s In Between Words; truly beautiful music.
Some groups to pick out of this long list are the legendary Billy Bragg with his album Mr. Love & Justice. The Cinematic Orchestra, whose experimental intrumental music has made a name for themselves, has released their live album, Live at the Royal Albert Hall. The Bees are featured in on a Split Ep with The Mother Hips. Even Blind Melon is somehow back this week with For My Friends introducing their new lead singer Travis Warren.
Cloud Cult is already becoming an indie favorite on the blogsphere garnering lots of attention from many critics, particularly Pitchfork who calls their latest Feel Good Ghosts "Insane genius…”. On the other end of the spectrum is the much-anticipated pop-punk album from Story of the Year, The Black Swan.
We’re not done yet! Make sure to check out Sleepercar’s album West Texas, a must-have for this year. And lastly, don’t forget that one of MUF’s favorite band’s from 2007 released their Impossible EP today. That’s right, we’re talking about the Shout Out Louds! Enjoy all of the new music this week!
