Here are The Wheel’s Still In Spin’s suggested new releases.
Mos Def – The Ecstatic | CD
Download “Life in Marvelous Times” (mp3) from RCRD LBL
Download “Quiet Dog” (mp3) from RCRD LBL
Download “Casa Bey” (mp3) from RCRD LBL
This album is an example of what a good hip-hop/rap album should be. There are a few guest spots, but they’re logical (Talib Kweli) and worthy (Slick Rick). The lyrics are political and poetic. It has a conscience, message, and deliberate purpose. The production is original and unrepetitive. The tracks are supported by uniquely appealing beats.
Sonic Youth – The Eternal | CD
Download “Scared Trickster” (mp3)
This album is full of a combination of what makes Sonic Youth great. There are succinct tracks of alternative rock anthems. There are some brash punk songs. There are also some longer songs that delve into the experimental noise.
Kathryn Williams and Neill MacColl – Two | CD
Download “Come with Me” (mp3)
This folk-based album is both intimate and smoothly surreal. There is minimal production or instrumentation added to the songs. The duo relies on the miraculous pairing of their voices, the deceptive simple musical performances, and traditional folk melodies.
After the jump, there is a list of more new releases from this week.
