The Lumineers The Lumineers LP (Vinyl)
& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;Debut Album! Grass-Roots, Heart-On-The-Sleeve Music! Mastered by Bob Ludwig! & lt;br & gt; #31 on Billboard's Overall Album Chart! & lt;br & gt; Features the Hit Single, & quot;Ho Hey & quot;!! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; In 2011, an eponymous, self-recorded EP led to a tour, and before long The Lumineers started attracting devout fans, first across the Western US, then back in their old East Coast stomping grounds. Young, old and in-between, theyre drawn by songs like & lt;b & gt; & lt;/b & gt;Ho Hey & lt;b & gt; & lt;/b & gt; and Stubborn Love & lt;b & gt;, & lt;/b & gt; Americana-inflected barnburners in the vein of the & lt;b & gt;Avett Brothers & lt;/b & gt; and & lt;b & gt; Mumford & amp; Sons & lt;/b & gt;. Theyre drawn by songs like Slow it Down and Dead Sea, slow, sultry ballads that suggest the raw revelations of & lt;b & gt;Jeff Buckley & lt;/b & gt; and & lt;b & gt;Ryan Adams & lt;/b & gt;. Theyre drawn by the live Lumineers experiencea coming-together in musical solidarity against isolation, adversity, and despair. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The roots revival of the last few years has primed listeners for a new generation of rustic, heart-on-the-sleeve musicthe kind that nods to tradition while setting off into uncharted territory. The Lumineers walk that line with an unerring gift for timeless melodies and soul-stirring lyrics. Born out of sorrow, powered by passion, ripened by hard work, The Lumineers have found their sound when the world needs it most. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;Newfound fans are falling in love at first listen with the band's homespun acoustic folk and powerful lyrics. The Lumineers' self-titled debut, released in April, reached No. 3 on the independent chart and No. 31 on Billboard's overall album chart... & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - USA Today & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;The Lumineers' members have a way of embedding fiery emotion into their music that's all their own. Rollicking, incandescent and reflective, it's music built on a foundation of classical training and roots-rock touring. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - NPR & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;'American Bandstand, electric guitar' frontman Wesley Schultz sings over handclaps in 'Big Parade,' which evokes the JFK era; 'Flapper Girl' is a piano ditty that conjures the days of prohibition. But the central concern is present-tense lust and heartache, which this spirited band translates into a fine drunk-clogging soundtrack. But on 'Slow It Down,' which does just that, you hear a deeper, more haunted sound, suggesting there's more here than meets the beer. & quot; & lt;/b & gt;- Will Hermes, Rolling Stone & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;iframe width= & quot;560 & quot; height= & quot;315 & quot; src= & quot;http://www.youtube.com/embed/zvCBSSwgtg4?rel=0 & quot; frameborder= & quot;0 & quot; allowfullscreen & gt; & lt;/iframe & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Wesley Schultz, guitar, lead vocals & lt;br & gt; Jeremiah Fraites, drums, vocals & lt;br & gt; Neyla Pekarek, cello, mandolin, piano, vocals & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; Debut Album & lt;br & gt; Mastered by Bob Ludwig & lt;br & gt; #31 on Billboard's overall album chart & lt;br & gt; VH1 You Oughta Know Artists On The Rise & lt;br & gt; Hit Single, & quot;Ho Hey & quot; & lt;br & gt; Similar in Sound to the Avett Brothers and Mumford & amp; Sons & lt;br & gt; Limited Time Album Download Included & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side I: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Phosphorescent Pride LP (Vinyl)
A set of dark, meditative songs that's all the more spiritual sounding for its restrained tone. These are poems uttered in an empty field, punctuated by shouts and hollers, as if from a singer either abandoned or possessed. The lyrics are Matthew Houck's strongest ever, wrapped in washed out choral etudes that could be channeled from a rural French chapel or a solemn African tribe in prayer. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Features: & lt;br & gt; Vinyl LP Format & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Sufjan Stevens Michigan 2LP (Vinyl)
Sufjan Stevens, Asthmatic Kitty and Sounds Familyre announce Sufjan's third full-length album, a collection of songs for his birth-state, Michigan, The Great Lake State. Composed as a geographical tone poem, Michigan follows a metaphysical expedition through the idiosyncrasies of Middle America. Drawing from personal anecdote, regional history and state heritage, Stevens mixes social and political grievances with songs about snowmobiles, Henry Ford, the Detroit race riots and love. Michigan's songs resonate with a range of sources Vince Guaraldi, Terry Riley and Nick Drake in executing Stevens' peculiar palette that is simultaneously rock and bluegrass, jazz and pop, a style The Village Voice appraises as & quot;Arthur Lee meets the Book of Psalms. & quot; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;LP 1 & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

From one of the first bands signed by Touch And Go come these early recordings include the highly sought after singles & quot;Vengeance & quot; and & quot;In This Town & quot;, along with & quot;Jan's Room & quot;, the & quot;Process Of Elimination & quot; compilation track, & quot;Jan's Room & quot; demos, and live tracks from a 1981 tour. Liner notes by Byron Coley, Henry Rollins, Tesco Vee, and Tim Tonooka. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The Fix was one of the earliest hardcore bands in the Midwest and one of the first to release something on Touch and Go Records. Blazing away along with the Necros and the Meatmen, The Fix is part of the foundation of what would become Touch and Go. The Fix had nothing to prove - just plug in, play hard, and go nuts!

If you couldn't have been there to witness The Fix in 1981, at least you can now be blessed with this collection of 24 tunes. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Features: & lt;br & gt; Includes coupon for free MP3 download of entire album & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Musicians: & lt;br & gt; Steve Miller, vocals & lt;br & gt; Craig Calvert, guitar & lt;br & gt; Mike Achtenberg, bass & lt;br & gt; Jeff Wellman, drums & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Though overlooked by many, there are fans who regard Enjoy Your Rabbit as Sufjan's greatest work. Departing from the singer-songwriter format of his debut Asthmatic Kitty Records album, A Sun Came, Rabbit is a collection of fourteen colorful instrumental compositions combining Sufjan's noted gift for melody with electronic sounds to create an unusually playful and human- not to mention humane- electronic experience. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;This may just be Sufjan Stevens' Magnus Opus.

Weezer Hurley LP & CD (Vinyl)
Weezer return to their indie rock roots on Hurley, their first release on Epitaph and the start of a new chapter in the bands storied career. In many ways, Weezer have always been the unlikeliest of pop bands, earning major radio and video play for leftfield singles like Undone and Buddy Holly, songs that hardly seem calculated to become radio hits. It is exactly this uncalculated quality that the band returns to on their eighth album. Hurley is as warm and embracing as the glowing smile on actor Jorge Garcias face that graces the cover, as ragged and endearing as fan favorite Pinkerton, as bold and hooky and open as Pork and Beans. And as if that wasnt confusing enough, Rivers Cuomo co-writes with Ryan Adams and legendary Elvis Presley writer Mac Davis (In the Ghetto). In other words, Hurley is in the classic tradition of the best Weezer albums, goofy and confessional and geeky and hugely sing-along. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Features: & lt;br & gt; Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; Contains Slipcase CD of entire album & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; LP/CD: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Jackson Browne Standing in the Breach 180g 2LP (Vinyl)
& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;Fourteenth Studio Album on 180g Double Vinyl! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Standing In The Breach, Jackson Browne's fourteenth studio album, is a collection of ten songs, at turns deeply personal and political, exploring love, hope, and defiance in the face of the advancing uncertainties of modern life. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Jackson Browne is an American rock singer-songwriter and musician. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by his friend Bruce Springsteen. Known for popular songs such as & quot;Somebody's Baby & quot; and & quot;The Pretender, & quot; Jackson has a strong political and personal influence reflected in his music. He received the Courage of Conscience Awards from The Peace Abbey in Sherborn, Massachusetts for promoting peace and justice through his music. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;Lyrically, Browne is inspired in a way he hasn't been since 1976's The Pretender, and this recording's production aesthetic adheres closer to that of even earlier records...Standing in the Breach is a back to the basics Browne album, and is all the better for it. He's no longer speaking at anyone, but conversing from the well of his own experience. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; -Thom Jurek, allmusic.com & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 180g Vinyl & lt;br & gt; Double LP & lt;br & gt; Gatefold Jacket & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; LP 1 - Side A: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Eric Clapton Old Sock 180g 2LP (Vinyl)
& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;180 Gram Vinyl! Three-Time Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Inductee Releases 21st Solo Studio Album! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Eric Clapton is a 3-time inductee to the Rock and Roll hall of Fame: once as a solo artist and separately as a member of The Yardbirds and Cream. & amp;nbsp; He's been acclaimed as one of the most important guitarists of all time ranking second in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time and fourth in Gibson's Top 50 Guitarists of All Time. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Old Sock is Clapton's 21st solo studio album and is released on the Bushbranch Records label, a branch of Surfdog. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The new album is a collection of some of Claptons favorite songs spanning from his childhood to present day that highlights his vast appreciation and knowledge of music. From Leadbelly to J.J. Cale; Peter Tosh to George Gershwin; Hank Snow to Gary Moore and Taj Mahal, this record is a celebration of so many who have inspired Claptons rich musical life. Clapton has always had a remarkable ability to recognize great songs and a gift for knowing how to uniquely interpret them, as he does on Old Sock. The album explores romantic standards of the 30's, reggae, soul, rock, and includes a stand out playful collaboration with Paul McCartney, to create an experience that is quintessential Clapton. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Clapton assembled a band for the recordings consisting of longtime collaborators Steve Gadd (drums), Willie Weeks (bass) and Chris Stainton (keyboards) along with some surprise guest additions. JJ Cale joins the song Angel for backing vocals and guitar, Chaka Khan joins as backing vocalist for Get On Over, Steve Winwood on the Hammond B3 Organ on Still Got The Blues, Paul McCartney on bass/vocals on All of Me, Jim Keltner on drums for Our Love is Here To Stay. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;Here, he leaves all those classy trappings behind, picks up his guitar and plays a bunch of songs he likes, maybe even loves. It's not an especially compelling reason to make an album but it's not a bad one, either, and the same can be said about the experience of listening to Old Sock: it's a pleasurable way to while away the time. & quot; & lt;/b & gt;- Stephen Thomas Erlewine, www.allmusic.com, 3.5/5 Stars!! & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;Old Sock will include two new originals 'Every Little' and 'Gotta Get Over' and versions of 10 of the guitarist's favorite songs from throughout his life... The tracklist finds Clapton covering a myriad of styles from rock and blues...reggae... and jazz standards. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - Rolling Stone & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 180 Gram Double LP & lt;br & gt; Limited time download card & lt;br & gt; Heavy Double Gatefold Jacket & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; LP1 - Side One: & lt;br & gt; & lt;/b & gt;1.

With the great John Hicks on piano, saxman Willie Williams, drummer Yoron Israel laying down the foundation and the imaginative bass-ics of Santi Debriano, Larry pours some new wine into the old bottles with innovative takes on classic tunes by Monk, Trane, Miles and, of course, Larry Coryell. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;This recording properly acknowledges Coryell's main influences, swings nicely, delves into his under-appreciated mellow side, and reaffirms his status as an enduring jazz guitarist who still has plenty to say. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; -Michael G.

Bettye Lavette The Scene Of The Crime 180g LP (Vinyl)
& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;Half-Speed Mastered by Stan Ricker! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Her 2005 acclaimed release, & quot;I've Got My Own Hell To Raise & quot;, brought well-deserved recognition to this R & amp;B maverick who's been recording since the early '60s. Now comes the almost autobiographical & quot;Scene Of The Crime & quot;. To make music this raw and direct, Bettye enlisted & quot;dirty south & quot; rockers The Drive By Truckers as her backup band. With swampy guitars, slippery Wurlitzer piano, and a driving backline, this record conjures up the spirit of great loose '70s bands like the Faces while offering Bettye an urgent, vital setting for her razor-sharp vocals. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; With the arrival of her new album Scene of the Crime , the flinty, intense soul stylist Bettye Lavette unleashes a set of aggressive, sublimely crafted songs that are nothing short of mesmerizing. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Recorded in Muscle Shoals, AL, where she recorded & quot;Child Of The Seventies & quot; in 1972 - a masterpiece that was shelved then released 30 years later. Returning to Muscle Shoals was like returning to the scene of a crime; thus the album title, and the intense, personal music within. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Features: & lt;br & gt; 1/2 Speed Mastering by Stan Ricker & lt;br & gt; High Quality 180g Vinyl & lt;br & gt; Includes coupon for free MP3 download of entire album & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

David Byrne & St. Vincent Love This Giant LP (Vinyl)
& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;Former Talking Head's Leader, David Byrne + St. Vincent! Explosive Brass! Brainy, Wild, Passionate! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; David Byrne, former leader of Talking Heads, & amp; St. Vincent, former member of The Polyphonic Spree, have released their album, Love This Giant. Recorded over two years, largely at Water Music in Hoboken, NJ, the album is a collaboration in the truest sense of the word, with Byrne and St. Vincent (aka Annie Clark) co-writing ten of the albums twelve tracks, and each artist penning one song individually. The album centers around an explosive brass band and is propelled by John Congletons drum programming. & lt;b & gt;There was no delineating what the roles were, & lt;/b & gt; explains Clark of the recording. & lt;b & gt;Its a collaboration Im truly proud of. & lt;/b & gt; The record favors idiosyncratic horn arrangements over traditional guitar/drum/bass lineup while maintaining a hook-laden rock sound. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Love This Giant developed like many a New York City-bred friendship. Both parties are kind of hazy about how it began, but after a couple of semi-chance encounters, David Byrne and Annie Clark, who records and performs as St. Vincent, embarked upon a creative dialogue that has flourished over the last three years. Curious, mutually appreciative acquaintances became determined co-conspirators, and the result is an album thats brash and, quite literally, brassy. Byrne and Clark spin their intriguingly enigmatic tales, by turns whimsical and dark, backed by a large brass band in lieu of a traditional rock lineup. There is a magical urbanity to Love This Giant: Its as if theyre dancing in the streets, their voices soaring over the rhythms, the melodies, the barely contained cacophony of the city. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Though Byrne and Clark each have an unmistakable sound and persona that have made them such compelling performers on their own, their voices manage to blend naturally, effortlessly, here. Sometimes they trade verses; at others they sing in unison. Like friends who can finish each others sentences, when one takes the spotlight alone, its often with words that the other provided. The brass lends the songs an appealing theatrical sheen while programmed percussion provides a contemporary feel. Though theres no overarching theme to Love This Giant, surreal images of nature dominate the lyrics, most of which were worked on in tandem by Byrne and Clark. The threat of natural disaster promises an emotional epiphany; urban apocalypse gives way to a garden party. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The album, Byrne feels, might surprise those who assume the pair simply gathered a bunch of tunes they wanted to record together. Love This Giant truly became more than the sum of its parts: & lt;b & gt;Its going to be confusing to some people. They will think, as people do, that the person who is singing the song wrote the song. In most cases, the gestation of the music and the words was very collaborative. The Forest Awakes, for example, was a song that I originally was singing, and I had written the words. But then I thought it might sound less pretentious if Annie sings it. Her vocal quality will put a different spin on it, a little bit of lightness. And most of the tracks are like that, very collaborative. & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;It was incredibly interesting to see how David works and realize how I work as a result of ricocheting my ideas off another person, & lt;/b & gt; Clark admits. & lt;b & gt; Its a fun collaboration, for a lot of reasons. David is always looking to the future of music, and hes not nostalgic about anything. People tend to think of nostalgia as a sweet notion, but I think its a little cynical, as if what happened in the past is better than what can happen in the future. People can end up just doing these genres studies. Im not interested in doing that and neither is David, so we kept pushing each other. & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;It's not surprising that David Byrne and St. Vincent's Annie Clark were drawn to work together. While they're hardly sound-alikes, they are both keen but somewhat detached observers of the human condition who make music that's equally cerebral and passionate...For all the braininess and wildness on display, there's also a sweetness to the album, particularly on 'Outside of Space and Time,' which sings the praises of physics-defying devotion. Given all the things Byrne and Clark pack into Love This Giant, it's a remarkably catchy and concise set of songs featuring some of the most vibrant work that either one of them has produced. & quot; & lt;/b & gt;- Heather Phares, allmusic.com & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;This pair of wonderfully hard-to-define talents, who over a three-year gestation period seem to have found a glorious common ground for songwriting and harmonizing, has succeeded in fashioning an utterly original shard of brass-band-meets-layers-of-drum-programming, all of it overflown by the delicate voice of Annie Clark, aka St. Vincent, and the recognizable keen of the Talking heads' former big-suited frontman, David Byrne... Byrne and Clark each has just the kind of curious, offbeat, artistic sensibility needed to actually make an angular art-rock project like this a crashing, tuneful, uncommonly bright success... Literally every track is a fascinating study in how to provocatively and ingeniously incorporate horns into edgy art-rock tracks... Repeated listens reveal this music to be so intricate that it's actually incredible that it only took three years to create.

Hes a founding member of the seminal band the Velvet Underground, is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and has a 50 plus year career that runs the gamut from classical to rock to experimental to electronic. Shifty Adventures in Nookie Wood is his 16th solo album and his first full length on the Double Six label following the 2011 release of the Extra Playful EP. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Shifty Adventures in Nookie Wood is an album that seems born out of Johns mischievous youth. It is the result of sessions held in his Los Angeles studio. With days spent experimenting with MPCs, pounding fists onto pianos, manipulating glitches and lots of signature viola drone while patiently waiting for songs to reveal themselves. There was also a spontaneous session with Danger Mouse that resulted in the opening track, I Wanna Talk 2 U. As a producer Cale has reached a new plateau on this record. He deftly manages to blend equal measures of chaos and beauty gently challenging the listener to join his adventure. He is an ever evolving artist always stepping into new and uncharted sonic realms. As he sung in Catastrofuk from 2011s Double Six EP Extra Playful, Say hello to the future/ And goodbye to the past/ Hurry up through the present. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;You have to get out of where you are at the moment, and start afresh, in music and everything else, & lt;/b & gt;Cale ventures. & lt;b & gt;Im pretty impatient.

Experiencing particular success in the UK and Europe, the Pixies played sold-out festivals and received a multitude of fan, peer and critical acclaim. The band's influence was far-reaching; U2's Bono referred to the Pixies as & quot;one of America's greatest bands ever; David Bowie called their work & quot;just about the most compelling music of the entire '80s, & quot; and Kurt Cobain, who identified Surfer Rosa as his favorite album of that entire decade, confessed, when writing Smells Like Teen Spirit, that, & quot;Basically, I was ripping off The Pixies. & quot; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The tracks on Wave Of Mutilation: Best Of Pixies runs (almost) chronologically and expands on the previous compilation, Death To The Pixies. The recordings remain fresh and vibrant - a splendid introduction for old fans and new converts alike - inevitably there are half a dozen tracks from Doolittle, the record that NME proclaimed the & quot;second best album ever & quot;, but there's also a couple of B-sides, the live favorite Into The White and, to end the sonic assault on a poignant note, the band's cover of Neil Young's Winterlong. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;...(their) breathtaking mix of noisy, almost surflike guitars, sweet pop melodies and primal-scream-therapy vocals inspired a generation of would-be rock stars: Nirvana adopted the Pixies use of quiet, mumbled verses and loud, crashing choruses, Courtney Love aped their banshee wails, and Beck drew inspiration from their catalog of surrealistic lyrics. & lt;/b & gt; - Rolling Stone & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Double Vinyl LP Set & lt;br & gt; Gatefold Packaging & lt;br & gt; All tracks have been remastered by John Dent at Loud & lt;br & gt; Contains tracks from all five of the Pixies' best-selling albums & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Musicians: & lt;br & gt; Black Francis, vocals, guitar & lt;br & gt; David Lovering, drums & lt;br & gt; Kim Deal, bass, vocals & lt;br & gt; Joey Santiago, lead guitar & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; LP1 - Side 1 & lt;br & gt; & lt;/b & gt; 1.
