New Releases - 1 July 2008

Holiday weeks seem to bring a short supply of new releases. With the 4th of July hitting on Friday, this holiday week is no exception. Here are The Wheel’s Still In Spin’s suggested new releases.


Off_track_betting_coverNels Andrews – Off Track Betting | Amazon CD MP3
Andrews has a voice that sounds like Bill Deasy from The Gathering Field (a mid-90’s band, if anyone remembers or knew) or Willy Vlautin of Richmond Fontaine – it’s rustic and weathered, but clear and strong. Produced by bassist/composer Todd Sickafoose, Andrews’ second album has a rich palette of backing instruments. The instruments supporting him include pedal steel guitar, harp, banjo, organs, pianos, guitars, and a “wine glass orchestra” and are performed by musicians who have played with Wilco, Norah Jones, Ani DiFranco, and Joan As Police Woman. The result is a solid rootsy album.


Hymn_and_her_coverEarlimart – Hymn And Her | Amazon CD MP3
Download “Song For” (mp3)
This latest album from this mellow indie rock band sees Earlimart condense down to a duo. With the two members remaining, the sound did not shrink from Mentor Tormentor and Tremble & Treble. Aaron Espinoza and Ariana Murray trade off vocals on this lush and lovely sounding indie pop album.


Miles_benjamin_anthony_robinson_covMiles Benjamin Anthony Robinson – Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson | Amazon CD MP3 | Insound CD
Download “Buriedfed” (mp3)
Miles’ voice has the tonal quality of Ben Gibbard. But with the help of Chris Taylor and Christopher Bear of Grizzly Bear (the basic tracks were mixed in that Yellow House), this folk infused album has better energy than those Death Cab For Cutie albums. This album showcases a very strong songwriter backed with powerfully dynamic musical layers.


After the jump, there is a list of more new releases from this week.

Well, now I'll have to check out Nels Andrews because of your Bill Deasy mention! Bill Deasy is more than a memory though -- he's STILL making great music! I'll put his website address as my url, even though it's not mine. :-) Anyway, nice to stumble across this site. Have a great holiday!
