With so many new releases this week, here's a few of my favorites:
Born Ruffians – Red, Yellow And Blue | buy it at amazon
Download “Hummingbird” (mp3)
This full-length album by this band from Toronto is a magnificent piece of indie pop. Lush for a trio, the album is full of hard-panned drums and percussion and melodic guitars. The band just completed a tour with Tokyo Police Club and is currently on the road with Cadence Weapon.
Hotpipes – Future Bolt | buy at myspace.com/hotpipes
Download “Future Bolt”(mp3)
Nashville, TN, band Hotpipes dedicated their latest release to the city of Dayton, OH, where most of the songs were written. The band has released four albums before Future Bolt, but claim to have focused more intensely on this album. Having not heard their previous releases, I’ll take their word for it. This album shows the four-piece band playing incredible, accessible indie rock. It’s straightforward and catchy.
Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks – Real Emotional Trash | buy it at amazon
Download “Cold Son” (mp3)
Download “Baltimore” (mp3)
Between his literate and idiosyncratic lyrics and the blearing guitar riffs, a Malkmus release would stand to be an important album for this Pavement devotee. Now add Janet Weiss (of Sleater-Kinney) as the newest member of The Jicks and this album becomes the strongest Malkmus solo album. Honestly, this album is no Slanted And Enchanted or Woods (but those are two of the best albums of the past 20 years, 5 stars, 10.0 ratings, whatever), but this album is closest that Malkmus has come since tackling a post-Pavement career.
There is a list of more new releases after the jump.
