This week the in-store version of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' It's Blitz is finally out while Death Cab For Cutie's Open Door EP is being released digitally. Both should provide quite a spark for any fan of their previous works.
Peter, Bjorn & John also hit shelves today as Living Thing marks another chapter in the Swedes' collection of new wave pop recordings. We previously jammed to Writers Block from the trio.
Although not anticipating warm weather since they reign from L.A., The Faraway Places have released a groovy psychedelic album (Out of the Rain, the Thunder & the Lightning) worthy of sunny days and multiple listens.

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Thanks in part to a weekend that didn't end until Monday night, our list for this week lacks as many links and artists being highlighted as we would normally like.
After spending the weekend up in Boston and taking in the sights (see photo above) and sounds (bagpipes) of one of the country's largest parades, we just couldn't pull ourselves to do anything other than relax. Please let us know if any artists from this week jump out to you. Cheers!
