Bloc Party – Two More Years
:: While not a drastic departure from Silent Alarm, this is only required for fans that otherwise cannot stand another day without owning the complete Bloc Party collection.
Edith Frost – It’s A Game
:: I’ve been in love with Edith Frost ever since I heard “Cars And Parties” (like a month ago) from her record entitled “Wonder Wonder” released in 2001 on Drag City and I have the feeling that “It’s A Game” is a grower.
Ennio Morricone – Crime And Dissonance
:: It can’t get any stranger than this, but I found myself listening to this one completely through from start to finish just to see what was next.
Amanda Rogers – Something Borrowed, Something Blue
:: No need to pigeon-hole people who do it to themselves, but for an EP centered around female vocals and a piano, a little change up couldn’t hurt though the last couple of tracks seem to standout from the rest.
Bearsuit – Team Ping Pong
:: This must be the week of incredibly scattered songs on records where not a single track seems to representative of an overall sound and while not a negative comment at all it makes it difficult to remember where one album stops and another one starts.
The Light Footwork – One State Two State
:: If I was still in 7th grade and loved emo rock-y tunes I would hope to one day sing in a band like this, but no.
Film School – Film School
:: Unbalanced record that lacks a cohesive thread to connect the dots, but maybe that’s part of the schtick that I don’t seem to get.
Explosions In The Sky – The Rescue
:: This started off very interesting, got really boring and then got really interesting again.
Death From Above 1979 – Romance Bloody Romance
:: I didn’t get their last record and I don’t get this one either.
Burt Bacharach – At This Time
:: No you’re not watching Ford slash Carter era porno on an equally old motel style RCA color television that progressively gets more “diverse” as the night grows longer.
