Just only a few weeks after Sufjan Stevens released “Run Rabbit Run,” a re-worked string instrument based version of his 2001 electronic album “Enjoy Your Rabbit,” the talented singer/songwriter is at it again this week with yet another release, in the form of “The BQE” - a mixed-medium artistic exploration of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway. The [...]
Looks like it’s that time of the year when various holiday albums and compilations start to pop-out, much to the contempt of last minute present shoppers, retailers and record labels. This week alone, we’ve got new Christmas albums from Bob Dylan, David Archuleta and Connie Talbot coming out.
One of the most interesting releases of the [...]
“Black Gives Way to Blue,” Alice in Chains‘ first record in 14 years, as well as the first following Layne Staley’s tragic death is out this week, making a lot of waves. Surprisingly or not, the record sounds very much like the Alice most of us came to know and love in the early ’90s, [...]
Pearl Jam’s highly anticipated ninth studio release, “Backspacer,” is finally officially out this week, and it’s just pure goodness, folks! Don’t believe me? Check out Al’s review for a glimpse. Islands‘ new record “Vapours“, their 3rd, still follows the winning formula of the band’s previous albums, but this time first time listeners might find themselves [...]
Hate it or love it, the new Muse album, with its new bigger than life sound, is out this week, much to my personal delight. A lot of good, and bad things alike, have been said about “The Resistance,” but the truth lies somewhere in between I guess. It’s just a matter of taste and [...]
If the last few weeks have been a bit stale when new, worthwhile music was concerned, consider this late August period as a small sign that things are finally beginning to shape up as we’re being treated to numerous valuable releases.
I’ve been following the Sheffield quartet’s career since their debut from a few year back, [...]
As the summer gets hotter the stream of new releases seem to get ever thinner, but that’s only normal - it’s always been like this, and one can only wait for autumn’s sweet cold touch that always revigorates our playlist with new music. Of course, this doesn’t mean there’s nothing worth while coming up…
Patrick Wolf’s [...]
Quite remarkable how the brother/sister duo The Fiery Furnaces has managed to put out, almost effortlessly, a lot interesting releases, to say the least, in such a short time span (a good album a year is something to admire these days). “I’m Going Away” is the band’s latest, eighth full length studio release, and gets [...]
It’s been a pretty long time since I’ve last written a New Music Monday post, and I’m really sorry about that. The massive exams period is over anyway, and now it’s time to catch up with some quality music.
“Horehound” by alt Nashville super group The Dead Weather finally gets out this week, after months and [...]
Few, but solid. That’s how this last week of May could be described, since we don’t really have that many records out this week, but, nevertheless, their value compensates more or less. Honestly, I’ve been waiting for this particular week to come for a pretty long time, since what’s maybe my most anticipated personal release [...]
