British roots rocker Frank Turner and producer Butch Walker make an album of songs to mend a broken heart.
Frank Turner - Positive Songs For Negative People
In the same vain as Frank Turner, Mac DeMarco creates some breezy, stoner takes for the lovelorn.
A power pop album with added electronics to expand the sound from this British band.
The Phoenix Foundation - Give Up Your Dreams
I'm a sucker for west coast surf sounds, especially when they're dreamy.
Titus Andronicus - The Most Lamentable Tragedy
This cerebral punk band has rocked about the Civil War and other subjects but this is their most ambitious to date. A 2 disc set about mental illness.
Another one of those British singer/songwriters who'll probably not make an impact in the U.S.
Led Zeppelin - In Through The Out Door (Deluxe Addition)
The release of the final 3 Zeppelin reissue albums. I could chose any for this list but since this one was the most popular of the bunch...
Red River Dialect - Tender Gold & Gentle Blue
British folk band who's understated sound feels fragile yet warm.
The Maccabees - Marks To Prove It
Must be a theme. Another British band who've been around awhile and after hearing this new one, possibly their best to date, you wonder why they haven't made an impact in America.
The recording industry has changed the new release date from Tuesdays in the United States and Monday's in the United Kingdom to a world release day of Friday. The decision was made earlier this year and went into affect this month. Here's the story from Billboard, Industry Sets Friday as Global Record Release Day.
With that in mind, here's some highlights from last week's releases.
A consistently good singer/songwriter who's categorized as country but that seems unfair.
The member of Gov't Mule and The Allman Brothers puts out a solo album backed by jam band Railroad Earth with excellent results.
This americana band has been performing live in Los Angeles for some time. Now they've got a debut album with some originals and wonderful covers.
An ex-member of The Pipettes changes up that sound with synths and spacey sounds sung in her native Welsh tongue.
Eleventh Dream Day - Works For Tomorrow
These veteran indie rockers just can't seem to mellow out.
Kool Keith/L'Orange - Time? Astonishing!
Possibly the oddest rapper ever returns with another album to back that up. This time recorded in Nashville?
