FEBRUARY 19th NEW RELEASES
***********************************************
American Meth DVD
Narrated by Val Kilmer, American Meth is a cross-country journey that focuses on several facets of the methamphetamine epidemic. From the oil fields of Wyoming and New Mexico to the homeless in Portland and the teens of Montana, filmmaker Justin Hunt spins a blue collar tale of tragedy and triumph.
American Music Club-The Golden Age
Latest from Mark Eitzel and his new Club members is a fresh effort to experiment and extend the range of their abilities. From the mariachi horns to the breezy Beach Boys harmonies to the unfolding layers of feedback -- it is full of varied, joyous and generous pop music.
Atlas Sound-Let The Blind Lead Those Who Can See But Cannot Feel (Deerhunter)
Atlas Sound is the solo moniker of Deerhunter frontman/provocateur Bradford Cox. A collage of garage rock and ambient electronics resulting in fourteen songs of melancholy and mania. File under: Deerhunter. "A largely ambient meditation on romantic obsession full of densely layered electronics and guitars that sound as if they were beamed in from some haunted parallel universe." -- The Fader
Balmorhea-Rivers Arms
Mirroring the vast Texas skies, the soulful collection of songs on Rivers Arms is imbued with a visceral weight and endless space.
Bell X1-Flock
One of Ireland's biggest groups, Bell X1 was formed when the band Juniper split after the exit of Damien Rice for a soon-to-be-successful career. The album contains hooks galore, amidst a tapestry of moody, introspective nuances. Limited first pressing includes bonus tracks, concert footage, a music video and more.
Belong-Colorloss Record
New Orleans group channels John Cale via My Bloody Valentine. Each record cover handmade by the artist. Limited to 300 copies worldwide.
The Big Sleep-Sleep Forever
NYC-based psychedelic post-rock trio move beyond mere imitation of their heroes to stake out a wall-blistering identity of their own. "The Big Sleep is as indebted to its influences (Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine, Black Sabbath) as any band is, but on Sleep Forever the members take bold enough steps to shake the influences clear. -- Prefix
Blood On The Wall-Liferz LP
Bon Iver-For Emma, Forever Ago CD/LP
Pronounced "bohn eevair," French for "good winter" and spelled wrong deliberately. Justin Vernon, the primary force behind Bon Iver, moved to a remote cabin in the woods of Northwestern Wisconsin at the onset of winter, alone for three months. This solitary time fed a bold, uninhibited new musical focus. All his personal trouble, lack of perspective, heartache, longing, love, loss and guilt that had been stockpiled over the past six years was suddenly purged into song. Available for audition in one of our listening stations.
Brotzmann/Uuskyla Duo-Born Broke 2CD
Burn To Shine 5-Seattle DVD
Death Cab For Cutie's Benjamin Gibbard brought together fourteen of his favorite bands to create a portrait of one of the world's most thriving music scenes. Performers include Eddie Vedder, Dave Bazan, The Long Winters, Kinski, Tiny Vipers, Minus The Bear -- just to name a handful. Although the shows are usually filmed in a house shortly before it's destroyed, the house at the center of this edition was saved and recycled. The ending sequence is uplifting, energizing, and weird.
Company-Old Baby
The latest record from Company, a songwriting collective and rock band rooted in folk, punk, country, and psychedelic traditions. Weird, defiant and lovely.
Cryptacize-Dig That Treasure CD/LP
Every song on Dig That Treasure is a miniature journey, a dreamy habitat built out of the minimum of material. Sudden rhythmic gestures and frequent key changes will leave you feeling pleasantly disorientated. It is humbly inspired by the larger-than-life emotions of West Side Story, the joyfully percussive guitar gospel of Sister Rosetta Tharpe, The Wizard Of Oz's bittersweet escapism, the other-world sentimentality of Sun Ra's Spaceship Lullaby, and Henry Cowell's ethereal piano string strumming.
Danava-Unonou CD/LP
"Unonou may be only seven tracks long but they are pretty much all epic length -- ranging from metal riffs and stoner rock bass lines on opening track 'Unonou' and 'A High Or A Low' to '80s-style epic synth solos on 'The Emerald Snow Of Sleep' and classic psychedelic '70s rock on the almost sludgy paced 'Spinning Temple Shifting.' The result is a densely layered album with one foot in old school rock and the other foot floating in space." -- roomthirteen.com
Ray Davies-Working Man's Cafe CD/DLX CD/LP
Previously import-only, the latest from the leader of The Kinks is now available stateside with three bonus tracks. Deluxe edition adds a fourth bonus track as well as a DVD with the short film Americana: A Work In Progress. "As good as anything Ray has written in decades." -- Mojo
The Dead Science-The Tomlab Alphabet Singles Series V 7"
Latest volume in Tomlab's collectable seven-inch series includes a fragmentary and impressionistic song about the American film actor Robert Blake.
Mike Doughty-Golden Delicous
Former Soul Coughing leader releases loose-limbed, freewheeling set recorded with his touring band that brings all the aspects of his singular muse together in one smart, humorous and eloquent package. Doughty sticks close to his "dude theory" -- the idea of making a relaxed record that sounds like a bunch of dudes playing music for the pure joy of playing. Initial quantities include Busking, a bonus five-song CDEP.
Envy-Compiled Fragments 1997-2003 CD/LP
An hour-long collection of singles, rarities and unreleased tracks. Originally released in 2003 on the group's own Sonzai Records in Japan, this album has never been available in North America, and has never been released on vinyl -- until now.
The Epochs - The Epochs CD (Rebel Group)_
Pronounced "ee-poks," their eponymous sophomore album is a sprawling record from bombastic electronics to seething orchestration to playful rhythms. It never stops in one place long enough to be pigeonholed. Recommended for fans of Spank Rock, TV On The Radio, Klaxons and The Avalanches.
Roky Erickson & the Explosives
Marianne Faithfull-No Regrets
Flipper-Live DVD
From the archives of San Francisco's famous Target Video comes this monster release featuring the classic early-'80s lineup of Flipper. Capturing extreme and scorching performances from 1980 and 1981, this DVD helps form a picture of the band that slowed down punk rock and made the kids suffer in the "louder faster" days of hardcore.
Flowers Forever-Flowers Forever (Tilly & The Wall)
Flowers Forever is inspired by late-'80s/early-'90s punk, The B-52s, David Hockney, Lou Reed, dumb conversations, bike rides and other normal things.
Four Letter Lie - What A Terrible Thing To Say
Don't let these wholesome looking boys from Minnesota fool you... Four Letter Lie may pack an abundance of pop hooks in their tunes, but they also pack a massive hardcore punch that will floor anyone that crosses their path.
Genghis Tron - Board Up The House CD
The enigmatic trio known as Genghis Tron weave an ocean-sized orchestra from just a few instruments and machines. Giant riffs and frenetic beats make perfect sense next to haunting vocal melodies and moments of subtle beauty. The sound of the future colliding with the present with enough force to tattoo itself forever upon the mind.
Grand Archives-The Grand Archives CD/LP
Debut album from a new quintet led by singer/guitarist Mat Brooke (formerly of Carissa's Wierd and Band Of Horses). The vinyl includes a limited 7" single plus an MP3 coupon.
Growing-Lateral CD/LP
Lateral finds Growing upgrading their otherworldly, dense compositions with newfound rhythmic motifs added to their dreamy sound sculptures. Available for audition in one of our listening stations.
Headlights-Some Racing, Some Stopping CD/LP
Based around acoustic and electric guitars, keyboards, drums, and other instrumentation, Headlights' sophomore record combines the pop sensibilities of previous efforts with a more restrained approach to songcraft that results in a clearer, concise musical vision.
Health-Perfect Skin Curses! Remix 7"
The first installment in a new limited edition, seven-inch remix series on Suicide Squeeze. Limited to 2,000 copies, pressed on solid blue vinyl. "HEALTH mixes the bombastic pound of Boredoms, the skewed structures of Deerhoof, the tribal thump of Liars, and even the synth squirts of Black Dice and Excepter." - Pitchfork
The Heavenly States - Delayer
"This Oakland, California trio delivers equal parts patchouli-soaked violin and Superchunk-worthy melodies." -- Rolling Stone
Juno Soundtrack LP
On limited edition colored vinyl.
Kingdom Of Sorrow - Kingdom Of Sorrow
Punishing new band featuring Jamey Jasta (Hatebreed) and Kirk Windstein (Down/Crowbar). "Kingdom Of Sorrow hits your ear hole like a slug through the tar infected lung of a toxic swampbeast ready to attack." -- Jose Mangin (Sirius Satellite Radio)
Kula Shaker-Strangefolk
Reunion album released domestically.
Kurt Cobain - About A Son DVD
Cobain was deeply suspicious of journalists, but he trusted Rolling Stone's Michael Azerrad enough to give him unprecedented access during the writing of his book Come As You Are: The Story Of Nirvana. Consisting entirely of Cobain's never-before-heard musings and recollections recorded by Azerrad and laid on top of newly shot footage of the places that he lived, this DVD offers an intimate portrait of the rocker's troubled formative years and meteoric rise to stardom. Free poster with purchase.
Jim Lauderdale-Honey Songs
The second in a string of rapid-fire releases from Nashville songwriting guru Jim Lauderdale is a gathering of mythical music proportions. Lauderdale pulled together big name friends and session royalty for this album, including legendary Elvis Presley guitarist James Burton along with Springsteen's E Street Band bassist, Gary Tallent. Flying Burrito Brother Al Perkins lays down pedal and lap steel alongside the piano of superstar sideman Glen D. Hardin (Merle Haggard, Roy Orbison, Elvis Presley, Dean Martin). Holding down the backbeat is drummer Ron Tutt -- who has to be the only man with the distinction of playing with both Elvises -- Presley and Costello. The big names don't end with the instruments -- backing vocalists include Emmylou Harris, Patty Loveless, Buddy Miller and Kelly Hogan.
Gary Louris-Vagabonds
After decades of perfecting the alt-country sound with the seminal Jayhawks, Gary Louris releases this sterling solo debut. Full of swooning heartbreak, death obsession, vaguely psychedelic imagery, and yearning, nostalgic vocals. Produced by Black Crowe Chris Robinson. Initial copies come with a bonus six-track acoustic CD -- only available at independent record stores.
Nick Lowe-Jesus Of Cool CD/LP
Definitive edition of this 1978 masterpiece includes all of the tracks from the original UK Jesus Of Cool and it's US companion Pure Pop For Now People as well as seven bonus cuts. "As guitar pop music comes back into fashion among indie rockers, more and more albums are sounding like awkward and self-aware approximations of the very thing that Jesus Of Cool does so effortlessly. In a sense, Lowe's unpretentious inclusiveness may have stopped Jesus Of Cool just short of becoming a huge record in any one world; the album is far too unabashedly admiring of pop music to be seen as a punk rock classic, but too gritty and ramshackle to be considered a seminal new wave pop record. Thankfully, Jesus Of Cool is a rarer thing still: a timeless and b#llshit-free masterpiece. Rating: 9.3." -- Pitchfork
Megafaun-Bury The Square CD
"Instead of dressing up polished alt-country songs with veils of hum, Megafaun pickles rickety back porch folk reconstructions in a brine of chaotic field recordings and organic, free-form atmospheres. It's an album so ingeniously balanced that it stands a chance of satisfying both folk and experimental music fans." -- The Independent Weekly.
Mojo - March 2008 (#172)
Smiths cover feature plus an article on the 50 greatest UK indie singles of all time. Bonus CD, Beloved, is a collection of classic British indie rock (The Teardrop Explodes, Orange Juice, The House Of Love, etc.)
Monade-Monstre Cosmic LP/CD (Stereolab)
Led by French chanteuse Laetitia Sadier, best known as Stereolab's singer and lyricist, Monade have released their third album. Laetitia Sadier explains how the record came into being: "The original idea behind the writing of the tracks was a river -- to have one long track that would take its course and you would never hear the same part twice, just as one can never swim in the same river because of the elusive flow of the water."
Allison Moorer-Mockingbird
Classic songs from legendary female songwriters -- from Joni Mitchell to Patti Smith to Gillian Welch -- interpreted by Grammy and Academy Award nominee Allison Moorer.
Morcheeba - Dive Deep CD
Features renowned guest vocalists Judie Tzuke, Tomas Dybdahl, Cool Calm Pete and more. "Morcheeba have found the tie that binds '60s spy music, blues-infused hip-hop and fragile balladry." -- Rolling Stone
Bob Mould - District Line LP+MP3
Quality 180-gram vinyl pressing with coupon for MP3 download of the entire album.
Mountain Goats-Heretic Pride LP/CD
Heretic Pride is a suite of songs about mythical creatures, imaginary cults, slasher films and pulp fiction novelists. Here, chief songwriter and lauded lyricist John Darnielle has come up with some of the most anthemic, impassioned and downright catchy songs of his career.
Neptune-Gong Lake CD/LP
Neptune is equal parts musicians, sculptors, scientists, blacksmiths, electricians, and industrial machinists -- all relentlessly inventive. They construct their own instruments, forging guitars and drums out of circular saw blades, gas tanks, oil drums, bike parts, VCR casings and miscellany from the trash. The effect is a bizarre, post-apocalyptic mélange of steel, iron, wire, rust, rivet, knob and cable.
No Kids-Come Into My House CD/LP
Come Into My House achieves an unexpected cohesiveness despite the wide range of musical styles -- golden era Hollywood musicals, Jam & Lewis-inspired production techniques, the icy displacement of contemporary R&B, and the breadth of Arthur Russell's compositions.
Pacific UV-Longplay 2
The droning ambience that once prevailed in their work has countered itself with something more sinister, resulting in an album that balances itself perfectly between noise and melody. "A masterpiece... soothing whispers, quietly droning guitars, and electronic blips." -- Rolling Stone
Paint It Black-New Lexicon
It's gritty, thunderous, and ugly, just the way hardcore punk should be. New Lexicon marks the band's first recording with new drummer Jared Shavelson (Hope Conspiracy, None More Black) and boasts guest vocals from Jeff Pezatti of Naked Raygun.
Panther-14kt God
This is the two-headed alter ego of Charlie Salas-Humara (The Planet The) on vocals, cello, guitar and keys, and Joe Kelley (31 Knots) on drums. Think Ian Curtis' convulsive intensity coupled with James Brown's spastic swagger.
Porcupine Tree-Nil Recurring
Recorded as an offshoot to the Fear Of A Blank Planet sessions, this half-hour mini-album displays the influence of King Crimson -- to the point of recruiting Robert Fripp for lead guitar duties!
The Raveonettes-Lust Lust Lust CD/LP
Highly recommended. The Danish duo returns with an album that perfectly distills their '60s noir-pop songcraft and fuzz-guitar clamor into a melodic, sensuous voyage through the many facets of desire. Sune and Sharin create a compelling combination of sexy pop songs and rock & roll urgency that makes this an excellent companion to Magnetic Fields' Distortion album. Previously available on import, this release includes two North America-only bonus tracks. Vinyl includes a bonus 7" 45 and full digital album download.
R.E.M. - Live 3xLP+DVD Box Set
Sprawling live recording includes a bonus DVD of the entire show, nearly two hours of footage recorded in Dublin, Ireland.
Sian Alice Group-59.59 CD/LP
Features contributions from Douglas Hart (The Jesus And Mary Chain), John Coxon (Spiritualized) and Brian DeGraw (Gang Gang Dance). "Beautiful, lush, dreamy and ethereal, but there's a dark, rainy spookiness at the album's core that sets it apart from so many experimental groups out there." -- Vice
Donita Sparks-Transmiticate
Solo debut from Donita Sparks -- former front person and main songwriter of the seminal rock band L7. Recorded in Los Angeles and produced by Donita with Ethan Allen (Luscious Jackson, Pleasure Club, Gram Rabbit), the album is filled with dance-rock and dark-pop gems that find Donita moving into territories that might surprise her fans.
Screamers (System Of A Down) DVD
Documentary feature examining why genocides keep occurring -- from the Armenian genocide in 1915, to The Holocaust, Bosnia, Rwanda and now Darfur -- through the eyes and music of the rock band System Of A Down (whose members are all grandchildren of genocide survivors). The film targets the problem of genocide denial, with specific reference to the Turkish government's current campaign to stop its citizens from discussing the genocide, as well as hypocritical US foreign policy.
Tad - Busted Circuits And Ringing Amps DVD
This DVD spans the entire career of Tad, the heaviest band ever. Features archival live footage, music videos, lost footage, as well as new footage and interviews with the band members and Krist Novoselic (Nirvana), Mark Arm (Mudhoney), Kim Thayil (Soundgarden), Chad Channing (Nirvana), and many others.
Taken By Trees-Sweet Child 'O Mine 7"
These New Puritans - Navigate, Navigate 12"
"Navigate, Navigate" is a twelve-minute jam the band was commissioned to record for Christian Dior's Autumn 2007 Paris fashion collection, and is backed with a club-ready remix by DFA's Tim Goldsworthy.
Throw Me The Statue-Moonbeams CD/LP
Seattle band's debut is a wondrous concoction of fuzzed-out synths, brass ensembles and epic vocal melodies. At the album's core is a sharp sense of melody, a cutting lyrical honesty, and a bludgeoning beat that brings to mind the whimsy of Magnetic Fields, the lyrical expanse of The Microphones, and the lo-fi bliss of Eric's Trip.
Tiger Lou-The Loyal
This Swedish band has been lighting up venues throughout their homeland and Germany for over three years. Recommended for fans of New Order, Travis, Now It's Overhead and Snow Patrol.
J. Tillman - Minor Works CD (Undertow)_
Existential folk-dread from Seattle.
Vampire Weekend-Vampire Weekend LP
The Weakerthans - Reunion Tour LP+MP3
High quality 180-gram vinyl -- includes MP3 download.
Las Rayas Blancas (The White Stripes) - Conquista 7"
Versión en español de la canción "Conquest" con una versión acústica de mariachi. Queremos ser un poco más emocionados, pero Las Rayas Blancas vendieron sus almas negras a Mejor Compra. Adiós, traidores.
Thom Yorke -And It Rained All Night (Burial)/Skip Divided (Modeselektor)/Analyse (Various) Remixes 12"

Wednesday March 12, 2008-Human Bell-7pm
http://www.myspace.com/humanbell
http://www.thrilljockey.com
Nathan Bell (Arbouretum) and Dave Heumann (Lungfish) first started playing music togther sometime after the start of '99 and definitely before the end of '01. It was soon apparent that they'd hit upon a winning combination - they found an unusual synergy of writing styles that has enabled them, at times, to compose a whole album's worth of songs together in the course of a leisurely afternoon. The style of music that they found themselves playing defies categorization, but has been described by listeners as containing aspects of minimalism, pre-war american blues/folk, and middle eastern and african musics. They are stopping off their way to hook up with the Boredoms. This will be their only show in the area.

This will be there only show in Dallas.
Tuesday March 18, 2008-Silje Nes-5pm
http://www.myspace.com/siljenes
http://fat-cat.co.uk/fatcat/artistInfo.php?artist=Silje+Nes
Silje is a songwriter who likes to experiment and find new ways to use sounds and instruments in her music. She has studied classical piano, played timpani in an Orchestra, played drums in a marching band and played in a traditional indie pop band, - but when she started recording her songs, she worked with her laptop and a lot of instruments she had no previous experience of playing. She plays around with instruments and sounds without conventions, and combined with her good songwriting, the result is stunningly beautiful. She will be opening for The Dodos the next night at Lola's in Ft. Worth.
Tuesday March 18, 2008-The Dodos-6pm
http://www.myspace.com/mericlong
http://www.dodosmusic.net
