Thanks for choosing an independent business!! artist title label		Band Of Horses Acoustic At The Ryman (Brown Records) CD - $11 LP - $18   A 10-song virtual "greatest hits" set of acoustic renditions of songs from across the Band Of Horses catalog, recorded at Nashville's legendary Ryman Auditorium over two nights in April 2013. Available on CD and on HQ-180gm vinyl.   Beck Morning Phase (Capitol) CD - $14 LP - $29   Morning Phase is true to its title: the beginning of yet another amazing chapter in Beck's peerless career and catalogue. Featuring musicians who have backed him on many of his most acclaimed albums, as well as the current live shows widely hailed as the best of his career (Justin Meldal-Johnsen, Joey Waronker, Smokey Hormel, Roger Joseph Manning Jr., and Jason Falkner), Morning Phase harkens back to the stunning harmonies, song craft and staggering emotional impact of Beck's most classic ballads, all the while surging forward with undeniable optimism. "A tenderly stunning song cycle of languid, prairie-dusted psychedelia that recalls reflective 2002 classic, Sea Change." -- Rolling Stone   Broken Bells After The Disco (Columbia) CD- $12 LP - $28   Sophomore album from the musical partnership comprised of Brian Burton (Danger Mouse) and James Mercer (The Shins). Features the first single. "Holding On To Life. Vinyl pressed on HQ-180gm with download.   Cheatahs Self-Titled (Wichita Recordings) CD - $10 LP+CD - $19   Cheatahs’ long-awaited 2nd album is first and foremost an exploration of the possibilities of modern guitar music. A blend of ecstatic noise, ambient drone and visceral, ear-splitting alt-rock, combined with lyrics that touch on the complexities of relationships, nature, the city, memory, dislocation and self-identity, Cheatahs displays a giant creative leap from the lo-fi fuzz of the band’s first two EPs.   Death Vessel Island Intervals (Sub Pop) CD - $13 LP - $17   Island Intervals is Joel Thibodeau's third record as Death Vessel and his second for Sub Pop. An inveterate and intuitive wanderer, Joel traveled to Reykjavík on an invitation from Sigur Rós singer Jónsi and producer Alex Somers, where they spent three months together conjuring an album that's both a song cycle and a window into a mysterious and singular landscape. Pete Donnelly (The Figgs, NRBQ), Samuli Kosminen (Múm), Thorvaldur "Doddi" Thorvaldsson and Jónsi contribute.   Gardens & Villa Dunes (Secretly Canadian) CD - $13 LP - $15   Gardens & Villa found themselves in the unlikely locale of Benton Harbor, MI in the middle of winter to record their second full-length, Dunes. With the aid of Sly Stone's custom Flickinger recording console, acclaimed producer Tim Goldsworthy (Cut Copy, DFA Records, LCD Soundsystem, Hercules & The Love Affair) guided Gardens & Villa until they ultimately emerged with a record beaming with dystopian energy, subconscious lyrics, and uncompromising sincerity. Taking the album name from an inspired trip amidst the frozen sand dunes along Lake Michigan's icy shore, Dunes shares a clear and evocative vision of where Gardens & Villa's members have traveled, what they've learned and what lies ahead.   Hospitality Trouble (Merge) CD - $13 LP - $20   “On its self-titled debut, the charming Brooklyn pop-rock band Hospitality burst out of the gate like a batch of 4.0 GPA indie-rock students, not unlike their forerunning New York City bros in Vampire Weekend. With songs that crushed out on coworkers and wrapped heartache in cheap dresses, frontwoman Amber Papini managed a balancing act of post-collegiate insouciance and soul, channeling The Velvet Undergound's prettier moments with knowing, Belle & Sebastian-style naiveté. More than one observer described Hospitality by invoking a cardigan. By comparison, the band's second album is more of a leather jacket.” – NPR   Olsen, Angel Burn Your Fire For No Witness (Jagjaguwar) CD - $13 LP - $15   On her 2014 LP, Burn Your Fire for No Witness, Angel Olsen sings with full-throated exultation, admonition, and bold, expressive melody. With the help of producer John Congleton, her music now crackles with a churning, rumbling low end and a brighter energy. After extensive touring, Olsen eventually settled for a time in Chicago’s Logan Square neighborhood, where she created "a collection of songs grown in a year of heartbreak, travel, and transformation," that would become Burn Your Fire For No Witness. Many of them remain essentially unchanged from their bare beginnings. In leaving them so intact, a more self-assured Olsen allows us to be in the room with her at the very genesis of these songs. Our reward for entering this room is many a head-turning moment and the powerful, unsettling recognition of ourselves in the weave of her songs.   Real Estate Atlas (Domino) CD - $14 LP - $20   Real Estate's third long-player, Atlas, starts 2014 off on the right note. Recorded at Wilco's studio, in Chicago, IL, Atlas expands upon the pastoral lushness of 2011's breakout album Days. Atlas continues hitting with the same catchy confidence that made Days such an enduring listen.   Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings Give The People What They Want (Daptone) CD - $13 LP - $18   Give The People What They Want is certainly an appropriate title for Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings' release. After more than a decade of nearly constant touring, recording, and as one of the most formidable and consequential live acts performing today, they know what their audience wants from them. They know, because it's what they want, too. This, shall we say, je ne sais quoi -- that makes everyone from Prince to Beck to John Legend to Michael Bublé to countless fans return again and again to the Dap sound -- is found both on stage and in the recording booth. After two years of touring behind 2010's lauded I Learned The Hard Way, the band reconvened in Bushwick's Daptone House Of Soul Studios and Daptone West in Riverside, CA, to begin work on their fifth album.   St Vincent Self-Titled (Republic) CD - $14 LP - $24   St. Vincent was recorded with Actor/Strange Mercy/Love This Giant producer John Congleton and features percussion from Homer Steinweiss (Dap-Kings) and McKenzie Smith (Midlake). “I knew the groove needed to be paramount,” Annie Clark says in the press release.” I wanted to make a party record you could play at a funeral.”   Sun Kil Moon Benji (Caldo Verde) CD - $15   Features guest musicians Steve Shelley, Jen Wood, Will Oldham, and Owen Ashworth. Double-CD version includes five track bonus disc and a lyric poster. “There are 11 songs on Sun Kil Moon’s astonishing sixth LP Benji, and in nearly all of them, somebody dies. Mark Kozelek wants us to know that they all lived, loved, fought, fucked up, and often did the best they could. While Benji is consumed with death, sadness, and tragedy, there's gratitude within this melancholy, and it’s Kozelek’s most life-affirming record.” BNM [9.2] – Pitchfork   T SHIRTS 2014 Design (stinkweeds) all sizes $10   Shirts come in grey with blue ink and maroon with blue ink. Mens sizes: small, med, large, XL. Women's sizes: med, large. Please specify size and color.   Tinariwen Emaar (Anti) CD - $14 LP - $23   For Saharan blues band Tinariwen, the desert is home; their hypnotic and electrifying guitar rock reflects the melding of their Tuareg musical heritage with modern urban blues. Their 2011 album Tassili, recorded in the Algerian desert, won a Grammy Award for Best World Music album. Now their new record Emmaar returns to their roots, delivering stripped-down dirges and effervescent electric anthems.   Enter your email address to join our weekly mailing list & receive updates on new releases and special products!
