Here are The Wheel’s Still In Spin’s suggested new releases for this week. As always, feel free to leave a comment with your suggestions.
Dominant Legs – Young at Love and Life [EP] | CD
Download “About My Girls” (mp3)
Dominant Legs is comprised of Ryan Lynch, of the band Girls, and Hannah Hunt. They combine to create a sound that mixes 60s pop and modern indie rock. Imagine Belle & Sebastian as a duo.
Jenny and Johnny – I’m Having Fun Now | CD
Download “Scissor Runner” (mp3)
Download “Animal” (mp3)
Jenny and Johnny is the band name for the dating duo of Rilo Kiley’s Jenny Lewis and singer-songwriter Johnathan Rice. You can hear fragments of their other respective projects in these songs, but the two seasoned musicians combine on each track, resulting in a rock album with a delectably pop quality.
Sonny & The Sunsets – Tomorrow is Alright | CD
Download “Too Young to Burn” (mp3)
This San Francisco band merges the best of the west cost’s pop history into a fresh indie sound. There are pieces of vintage R&B, surf rock, sunshine pop, and twee pop peppered throughout these ten songs.
After the jump, there is a list of more new releases from this week.

Now that I've listened to Junky Star by Ryan Bingham & the Dead Horses, I've got to add it to the recommended albums for this week.
