Here are The Wheel’s Still In Spin’s suggested new releases.
The Decemberists – Always The Bridesmaid, Volume I | Vinyl, Volumes I-III Vinyl, or at indie record stores
This is the first of three 7” vinyl singles released by The Decemberists. The band describes the tracks on the “Always The Bridesmaid” series are “songs that the Decemberists really loved but presciently felt they would not fit on the band’s forthcoming LP.” This first installment includes the tracks “Valerie Plame” and “O New England,” which highlight the bands descriptive folk rock.
The High Dials – Moon Country | CD
Download “Killer Of Dragons” (mp3)
This album is released in Canada this week, but it is worth hunting down here in the States. The Quebec band is touring the US right now, but does not have an official American release date set. This is psychedelic rock. The band utilizes tones similar to Luna, but with less of a drone.
Lotus – Hammerstrike | CD
Upon first listening, this album sounds familiar. The melodies and guitar riffs have a recognizable quality to them. With layers of sounds, including melodic bass, synths, and even cowbell, these guitar driven songs have a modern rock sound that is heavily drenched in the essence of the 70’s.
The Mighty Underdogs – Droppin’ Science Fiction | CD
Download “War Walk” (mp3)
This is full-length debut from the hip hop supergroup comprised of Lateef the Truth Speaker (Latryx), Gift of Gab (Blackalicious), and producer Headnodic. Overtop of the tight and diverse beats, the MCs lay down some of the most creative and intelligent raps.
Frank Turner – Love Ire & Song | CD
Frank Turner used to be the singer for the hardcore punk band Million Dead. Now he’s singing folk music. He still has his punk attitude with his singer-songwriter style songs. The best part of this album, however, is the passion he gives to each track. It’s folk rock music, but sung with the conviction of an anarchist.
Frank Turner – “Long Live The Queen” from Love Ire & Song:
