The Real Tuesday Weld - At The End Of The World is new indie/jazz mixed with samples and some great vocals by Stephen Coats. I would find this album and listen to it as quick as possible. It's some amaizing stuff, I can't really do it justice. I first heard them yesterday listening to them play live on Morning Becomes Eclectic. being aw-struck I got it and have been listening to them ever since. The album is live but don't let that fool you the audio is top notch and the full sound comes through. http://www.tuesdayweld.com/
no suprise, the new Martha Wainwright album, I Know You're Married But I've Got Feelings Too is amaizing. is sounds like the best tori album mixed with the best of Aimee Mann - while keeping her own special vocal attitude and texture. the songs are full and are well written, beautiful. http://www.marthawainwright.com/
Speaking of Aimee Mann, she has a new album out now too, and I'm so sure about it. I have not given it a full listen but it might grow on me. who knows. http://www.aimeemann.com/
Just stay away from Dan Deacon. I took a listen to his latest split / 7" and i just don't get it. http://www.myspace.com/dandeacon you might not want to click on that link it's his annoying music
The Great Northwest have an album out called The Widespread Reign of the Great Northwest It's getting alot of hype right now as an independent release and that's a good thing.
here is a great review that really puts teh album in perspective.
"from theseanshow.net/?p=1082
The Great Northwest is the baby of Brian Coates, who traveled from Portland to DC by way of New York to eventually build The Widespread Reign of the Great Northwest. Words like “psychedelic” and “shoegaze” will no doubt be tossed around to describe this record, and they’re not far off.
I played a couple songs for a couple good friends who wished to remain nameless. One of them said The Widespread Reign of… was “Neil Young fronting Mazzy Star, with lots of ketamine.” The other called it the long lost, best ever Lemonheads album. It’s not hard to imagine smoking a ton of pot driving cross country while listening to this record.
I’d like to see how these dreamy, meandering songs translate in a live show."
