Here are The Wheel’s Still In Spin’s suggested new releases.
Anathallo – Canopy Glow | CD
Download “The River” (mp3)
This 7-piece band has made lush, indie pop album. Horns, strings, pianos, synths, and guitars are layered atop of the tender yet stirring drumming. Amongst all these musical layers, the vocal harmonies are captivating. Magically, somehow, this album seems to evolve as it moves through the varying tracks.
Belle And Sebastian – The BBC Sessions | CD
This collection represents the first phase in Belle & Sebastian’s career. While the band’s albums may not always be cohesive sets, they continually pepper their albums with great songs. These tracks span the years 1996-2001, from the band’s beginnings through the band’s initial lineup changes. The final four tracks on this album, which never made it onto an official Belle & Sebastian release, are the final recordings with Isobel Campbell. Leading up to those closing tracks, there are some of those alluring singles (including “The State I’m In”), alternate arrangements of songs (“Lazy Line Painter Jane”), and early renditions of songs (“The Wrong Girl” as “Wrong Love”). The two-disc version includes a live recording of a Christmas 2001 show.
Graham Lindsey – We Are All Alone In This Together and The Mine EP | CD
Download “If I Ever Make It Home” (mp3)
Download “Mud” (mp3)
This album and accompanying EP are full of old time folk/country songs. These songs are based on acoustic guitar, banjo, and Graham Lindsey’s vocals. These arrangements are mostly unadorned with the added subtleties of fiddle, organ, and pedal steel. It’s Lindsey’s voice on this releases that gives these albums its most endearing aspect. It sounds more weathered and mature than his years, solidifying a realistic old time folk quality to the songs.
After the jump, there is a list of more new releases from this week.
