Here are The Wheel’s Still In Spin’s suggested new releases.
Ryan Adams & The Cardinals – Cardinology | CD
It’s been a while since Ryan Adams released an album as strong as his first two solo efforts, Heartbreaker or Gold, or the Whiskeytown records. While this album is not as enduring, at least the first four songs get close to that earlier magic. The Cardinals, his backing band, poignantly accompany these songs. And Adams has focused the 12 songs as 3-minute pop rock pieces.
Deerhunter – Microcastle | CD
This release moves past the art-punk and droned sounds of the earlier Deerhunter albums. Microcastle is an indie rock album that balances jangly and ambient tones to create a noisy and catchy album. For a man that keeps reinventing himself (on Deerhunter and Atlas Sound releases), Bradford Cox has made one of his most cohesive albums to date.
It’s A Musical – The Music Makes Me Sick | CD
Download “Bad Day” (mp3)
As a two-piece indie pop band with organ, drums, and two sets of vocals, the connection to Mates Of State is natural. But on their debut album It’s A Musical creates a more accessible pop sound than the past two Mates Of State albums. Despite the title of the downloadable song, “Bad Day,” this music is upbeat and blithe.
O’Death – Broken Hymns, Limbs And Skin | CD
Download “Lowtide” (mp3)
O’Death plays a blend of folk and punk that borders on an Americana version of the gypsy punk genre. For this, the band’s third album, the band captured a raucous energy. Sticking with their lineup of guitar, banjo, fiddle, bass, and drums, O’ Death mixes multiple influences (country, punk, folk, even metal) into their own brand of music.
After the jump, there is a list of more new releases from this week.
