Here are The Wheel’s Still In Spin’s suggested new releases for this week.
Beastie Boys – Hot Sauce Committee Part Two | CD
Download “Make Some Noise” (mp3)
The second part of the still unreleased Hot Sauce Committee Pt. 1 shows the Beastie Boys mixing their signature sounds – distorted aggressive punk jams and uniquely sampled hip hop – as only they can.
Fleet Foxes – Helplessness Blues | CD
Download “Helplessness Blues” (mp3)
Fleet Foxes’ second album, three years after their self-titled debut, expands on their neo-folk sound. The sextet layers the mostly acoustic instruments and vocal harmonies on this strong sophomore album.
The Fling – When the Madhouses Appear | CD
Download “Wanderingfoot” (mp3)
On their debut full-length album, The Fling combines folk-rock and psychedelic rock for a fuzzed-out, jangly gift of affable music that sounds both nostalgic and novel.
Here is another song from an album that was close to making the list of recommendations:
Gruff Rhys – “Shark Ridden Waters” (mp3) from Hotel Shampoo
After the jump, there is also a list of more new releases from this week.
