It’s kind of an understated week for new music – beyond the Lil Wayne album, obviously. But once you get past that, there are a bunch of solid releases to look into: my personal picks are the albums from Midlake and The Soft Pack, but I’m pretty certain that there is something for everyone this week – even if you like Nick Jonas.
As ever, there are a couple of tracks after the list to get you in the spirit, and have yourselves a wonderful week everyone.
Album Leaf – A Chorus of Storytellers
BT – These Hopeful Machines
Fela Kuti – Live with Ginger Baker
FM Belfast – How to Make Friends
Glossary – Feral Fire
Hadouken! – For the Masses
Lil Wayne – Rebirth
Midlake – Courage of Others
Rob Zombie – Hellbilly Deluxe 2
The Soft Pack – The Soft Pack
Toro Y Moi – Causers of This
Wakey!Wakey! – Almost Everything I Wish I’d Said the Last Time I Saw You
The Soft Pack – C’mon (mp3) from The Soft Pack
Wakey!Wakey! – Twenty Two (mp3) from Almost Everything I Wish I’d Said the Last Time I Saw You
I'll definitely be getting the Tori Y Moi on Tuesday. I'm keeping an eye on the Midlake, not ready to commit to that yet…
