Thanks for choosing an independent business!! artist title label		Best Coast Crazy For You (Mexican Summer) CD - $13 LP - $17   Beach blanket lo-fi pop from Bethany Cosentino, (ex-Pocahaunted.) Inspired by Bethany’s longing for Los Angeles while spending her days in NY attending Eugene Lang College, Best Coast sprung forth during her first days back in California. She says we can expect “songs about summer and the sun and the ocean and being a lazy creep,” with “drums, beach boys bass lines, and other amazing things” added by her friend Bobb Bruno.   Boston Spaceships Our Cubehouse Still Rocks (GBV inc) CD - $14 LP - $15   Following three full-length BOSTON SPACESHIPS records in only two years, Our Cubehouse Still Rocks is a breakthrough fourth album from the band featuring ROBERT POLLARD (GUIDED BY VOICES), CHRIS SLUSARENKO (GUIDED BY VOICES) and JOHN MOEN (DECEMBERISTS). The collaboration began as a long-distance recording project, but brilliantly hits its stride on this album as an unshakable, actualized band. For a group that took their name from the over-the-top UFO illustrations on record covers from '70s arena rockers Boston, there's no denying a classic-rock flag flying high overhead. Just below, however, is the bustling churn of art-damaged new wave, echoes of Devo, mid-period Wire and the sour songcraft of the Rough Trade stable. Easily the best collection of songs from the Spaceships, the record is brimming with hooks and Pollard's incredible gift for melodies so catchy they shine through even the weirdest musical surroundings.   Budos Band III (Daptone) CD - $13 LP+download - $14   If the menacing album art, which features a cobra primed for the attack, is any indication of the music itself, we can expect an all out assault of the senses, with a tendency towards the venomous and psychedelic. Budos Band III full-length with a vinyl-only EP that gives the trademark horn-driven and bass-heavy Budos funk another slot in your collection. Includes the previously 7-inch only classic "The Proposition," as well as a free MP3 download card.   Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse Dark Night Of The Soul (Capitol) CD - $16 LP - $20   Dark Night of the Soul is an album by audio auteur Danger Mouse and the already much-missed Sparklehorse. The record sees the pair joined by the following remarkable roll call of guests: The Flaming Lips, Gruff Rhys (Super Furry Animals), Jason Lytle (Grandaddy), Julian Casablancas (The Strokes), Black Francis (The Pixies), Iggy Pop, David Lynch, James Mercer (The Shins/Broken Bells), Nina Persson (The Cardigans), Suzanne Vega and Vic Chesnutt! Rumors of this mysterious collaborative project began to circulate in early 2009 sparking widespread anticipation and excitement - now finally released (for sale) to the masses. While this beautiful, haunting record being made widely available is undoubtedly a cause for celebration, the news is shadowed by sadness following the recent passing of Mark Linkous, who released and performed under the Sparklehorse pseudonym. Dark Night of the Soul will now stand as a de facto tribute to this well loved, stunningly talented yet often-overlooked artist. In addition to featuring on two songs, celebrated film director David Lynch has created a series of original photographs for Dark Night of the Soul adding a spectacular visual dimension incorporated in to the artwork for this already unparalleled project.   Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan Hawk (Vanguard) CD - $16 LP - $25   Since departing the celebrated Scottish indie-pop outfit Belle & Sebastian in 2002, Isobel Campbell has built a singularly impressive body of work, one that contains several solo albums as well as critically acclaimed collaborations with former Screaming Trees frontman Mark Lanegan. Here they return with a gorgeous collection of atmospheric roots tunes.   Jenny & Johnny I'm Having Fun Now (Warner Bros.) CD - $14 LP - $22   Jenny Lewis and Johnathan Rice have been collaborating on and off for years, each contributing to the others' solo records and live shows, but with this record they had a different intention: using their two voices in close harmony and playing practically every instrument themselves. The result is an eleven-song thirty-five minute blast of whip-smart rock & roll.   Jimmy Eat World Invented (DGC) CD - $10 LP - $16   This is a pre-order for the new Jimmy Eat World album out 9/28. Pre-order your copy and get a free 7" featuring the tracks "By Best Theory" and "Stop". The 7" will ship with the CD or LP on 9/28.   Ra Ra Riot Orchard (Barsuk) CD - $13 LP - $17   An incredibly self-assured step for Ra Ra Riot, delivering both hook-laden pop jams like first single "Boy" and the new-but-familiar-to-live-audiences 'Too Dramatic," and ruminative slow-burns like the Anton Chekov/Kate Bush-inspired "The Orchard" and album-closer "Keep It Quiet."   S. Carey All We Grow (Jagjaguwar) CD - $11 LP - $13   As the drummer for Bon Iver, Sean Carey witnessed a flip of his formal training to step firmly into a worldwide-touring rock band. His performance degree in classical percussion and his love for jazz drumming prepared him for a central role in the inspiring force of the Bon Iver live show.   Snake! Snake! Snakes! Self-Titled EP (Modern Art) CD - $6   Debut EP from local up-and-coming hotshots Snake! Snake! Snakes! "Vocals are also one of Snakes! strong suits. Although comparisons to Arcade Fire can’t be avoided, the vocals are both moody and bombastic and treated with reverb. The slightly high-strung singing provides passion and power to the delicate melodies and gives the tunes an emotional appeal that keeps the listener engaged." --adequacy.net   Enter your email address to join our weekly mailing list & receive updates on new releases and special products!
