Camera Obscura - Lets Get Out Of The Country

Indie pop rock if it were made in the seventies. Feel good but pumped with a sense of longing.

DeVotchKa - How It Ends

More fuel for my gypsy music inspired needs. Beautiful, dark, and just so happens to use accordion and tuba. Think Calexico, Beirut.

Polyphonic Spree - Wait (EP)

Two new tracks, three covers - including a Nirvana song. Masters of joyous, cultish, epic songs with a tinge of sorrow.

The Mall - Emergency at the Everyday

Dirty, fuzzed out, frantic, yelping, intense, fist pumping rock. Not an every day listen but damn great for what it is.

Get Him, Eat Him - Challenges You To A Game Of Basketball

The power of fun and innovative packaging. An actual playable game. Music is just okay but still bought it.

Mogwai - Ten Rapid

Despite the fact that every Mogwai album is vaguely the same thing, each one is a pleasure to hear.

Q And Not U - No Kill, No Beep Beep

This may be threatening my indie cred but I do not find this to be mindblowing. About the same level as Power.

RATATAT - Classics

Artwork sealed the deal on this one. Leaps and bounds superior to the first record. More variety with a similar base.

Cursive - Happy Hollow

Where are the abundance of angular guitars? Veiled yet poignant lyrics? Dis-harmony as harmony? Good but not Cursive good.

Snowden - ANTI-ANTI

Love the artwork. Music combines elements of shoe gaze, dark Euro dance rock (ala Joy Division), and a dash of post rock.

Chad VanGaalen - Skelliconnection

As with the first album this falls just the tiniest bit short of expectations. Great instrumentation but not enough umph overall.

Muse - Black Holes and Revelations

Teetering heavily on the side of far too ridiculous. As always, the upbeat is good, the slow jams are painful.

Amy Millan - Honey From The Tombs

I miss the dynamic of Stars but this shows that going solo can have fine results. Country twinged mixed with some rock.
