Looking through the new music that’s released each week, I’ve noticed that a lot of times, the music seems to trend to one genre or another. This week, for example, there is a lot of angry sounding music, with albums being released with titles such as Neo-Satanic Supremacy (Troll), Starve for the Devil (Arsis), and Draw Down the Moon (Icarus Witch).
We don’t swing that way (if you couldn’t tell), so if you’re interested in the new Troll album, we’ll let you track it down on your own. Other than that, we’ll tell you that we’re going to look into the Massive Attack, Hot Chip and Yeasayer albums. It’s good that it’s a lighter week, because we’re still catching up from the past couple weeks.
As always, there’s a couple of tracks after the list to get you in the right headspace, and have an excellent week.
Dave Matthews Band – Live in Las Vegas
Fear Factory – Mechanize
Gui Boratto – Renaissance: Mix Collection [Import]
HIM – Screamworks: Love in Theory & Practice
Hot Chip – One Life Stand
Jaheim – Another Round
Jimi Hendrix – Valleys of Neptune [Vinyl 45]
Massive Attack – Heligoland
Phantogram – Eyelid Movies
The Pretenders – Live In London
Sade – Soldier of Love
Yeasayer – Odd Blood
Yeasayer – Ambling Alp (mp3) from the forthcoming Odd Blood
Hot Chip – Over and Over (mp3) from The Warning
Sign me up for Hot Chip & Yeasayer…both vinyl if I can help it. I haven't bought a Massive Attack album after Mezzanine, I am completely out of touch with them at this point. All the other trip hop acts seem to have moved to other territory by now (and completely awesome territory in the case of Portishead). I'll have to find a way to listen to the new one to see what Massive Attack are up to.
Ambling Alp is good stuff. Hopefully their upcoming album has songs that are equally as awesome.
FYI: The Hot Chip comes with a free 7″ at lake shore (while supplies last of course)…woohoo!
