Little Teeth - Child Bearing Man -- September 09, 2008

Child Bearing Man is the kind of debut album you yearn for and recognize instantly once you find it. It's a record of growls, squeaks, complex wordplay, and melodic cascades, tied together with mandolin, banjo, accordion, rock and roll drums, cello, guitar and Dannie Murrays (Vocals, Mandolin, Guitar, Accordion) wildcat snarl. Amazingly, out of a semblance of chaos comes harmony and raw beauty. But what is most mesmerizing about this trio are tracks like Japanese Candy with desperate wails and Between My Ears with lyrical jabs, you could cut your face six different ways but theyd all look the same to me. Together, Little Teeth's Child Bearing Man is commanding, emotionally and musically conflicted, utterly moving and shockingly original.

Azeda Booth - In Flesh Tones -- July 22, 2008

In Flesh Tones, Azeda Booths debut full length, is a benchmark album, a thing of dazzling beauty and fragile inspiration. Its not so much a bomb in the mineshaft as it is an incandescent dove illuminating the way out. The Calgary, Alberta six-piece conjure up the sound of human travel. The arrivals and departures are hazy and blurred, the tone both tense and delicate, the fuel potent and clean, and the direction most definitely UP.

The Dudley Corporation - Year of the Husband -- July 04, 2008

Almost 8 years of age, The Corpo can be classified as quite a large brat by now, and album 3, “Year of the Husband”, has been brewing for almost half their life span. Year of the Husband sees the Corpo moving in more brutal and angular directions than before. Songs shift from frenzied onslaughts (The Lens Begin, Leave a Last Kiss) to melancholic lullabies (We Angled our Shadows, Fool), but this time out every song has been treated like it ought to be a single, and each one deserves to be a hit. Guests include Kenseth Thibideaux (Howard Hello, Pinback), Carol Keogh (The Tycho Brahe, Autamata) and Nigel Farrely (Waiting Room).

THe Gang - Zero Hits -- June 03, 2008

Throughout Zero Hits, The Gang’s Gary Keating’s raspy vocals drip with whisky, cigarettes, late night house parties and rowdy times. There is toughness to this band. They have a sound that could not possibly come from anywhere else then New York - no rules but an explosion of raucous guitars, snarling keyboards driving drums and undeniably catchy anthemic choruses that knock you to the ground, then pull you up just in time to knock you on your ass again.

Sybris - Into the Trees -- May 20, 2008

Into the Trees is propelled forward by singer Angela Mullenhour's sugar coated knife-edge voice, a unique entity in itself, brimming with shattering potential and weighted with its own world-weariness, elegant, bruised but never defeated. Chicagos Sybris is a quartet of powerful grace, the sound of a battalion of Valkyries astride winged horses bound for Valhalla. The sweep of giant white wings in the wind, the creak of the saddle beneath the weight of warrior goddesses in full regalia, the dreamy, gauzy, glittery haze of the ghosts of the warrior dead behind them floating towards eternal glory.

Okay - Huggable Dust -- May 20, 2008

At first, Huggable Dust seems to be a break up record, but it is much much more. It grows and blossoms and touches on so many aspects of the heart; longing, loss, obsession, disagreement, and resilience. Okay's Marty Anderson writes and performs his songs with a uniquely kaleidoscopic approach of mixing repetition and variation. This is the language of pop music, of course, but Marty's songs fold in on each other acrobatically in ways that aren't always apparent on a single listen. Multi-layered and baroque, dense layers of technological and organic sounds fizzle under gentle pop melodies.

Xiu Xiu - Fabulous Muscles LP reissue -- July 08, 2008

Fabulous Muscles, Xiu Xiu's third album from 2004, was an artistic breakthrough and helped expand the bands already devoted following. The LP version (unavailable for the last year or so) was originally released on the Free Porcupine Society label and has already sported two or three different covers. The new cover, as sultry and frightening as the music within, is by Brooklyn-based rising art star J. Morrison. Favorite tracks: I Luv the Valley OH!, Bunny Garner, and the unbelievable title track.

Xiu Xiu - La Foret LP reissue -- July 08, 2008

La Foret, Xiu Xiu's fourth album, released in 2005, saw the band moving in an even darker, more experimental direction (and thats saying something). The LP version of the record was only released as an extremely limited double 10 oressed and sold only by the band. Now on 12 with an incredible cover also by Brooklyn-based artist J. Morrison. Includes Muppet Face, Pox, and Rose of Sharon.
