Thanks for choosing an independent business!! artist title label		Black Kids Partie Traumatic (Almost Gold) CD - $13   Contagiously catchy album from the internet-buzzing indie dance group includes the alterna-hit "I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You." Black Kids are also featured on the soundtrack to American Teen.   Death Vessel Nothing Is Precious Enough For Us (Sub Pop) CD - $14 LP - $14   Recorded with longtime producer/collaborator Pete Donnelly (The Figgs), this is Death Vessel's (Joel Thibodeau's) Sub Pop debut. The music is haunting and spiritual, mysterious and kind, ageless and contemporary, soulful and psychedelic.   Fiery Furnaces Remember (Thrill Jockey) 2CD - $16 3LP - $23   Hot off the heels of their critically acclaimed Thrill Jockey release Widow City, MATTHEW and ELEANOR FRIEDBERGER, the sibling duo that makes up the core of THE FIERY FURNACES, have put together a double CD / triple LP live album entitled Remember. The Fiery Furnaces are one of the most unique experiences in live music. Remember captures the high energy, intricate complexity, amazing vocal acrobatics of Eleanor and the technical musicianship that defines a Fiery Furnaces performance. Collecting songs from their entire catalogue and performances across the globe starting in 2005, Remember is a unique document. The Fiery Furnaces reconstruct and rearrange their songs for each tour. Features fifty-one tracks, the double CD comes in a deluxe 6-panel digipack and includes a coupon to download a bonus song. The triple LP vinyl version comes in a custom made old-style tip-on gatefold jacket with a pasted in flap to hold the third LP. Also included is a coupon to download the album in MP3.   Halstead, Neil Oh! Mighty Engine (Brushfire) CD - $14   CD now, vinyl soon. File under: Mojave 3. "One night while in the studio with Neil Halstead a friend questioned him as to what kind of music he played. Neil's extremely thick beard turned into a smile as he said 'Nylon Rock' before laughing and turning back to his beer. I don't think that description offered any clarity to the asker, but to me it seemed perfect: a self-effacing term to help him deal with the fact that he, a former shoegazer (ex-Slowdive), was making a solo record and his main weapon was simply a nylon string guitar and a couple of shakers." -- Emmett Malloy/Brushfire Records   Ida My Fair, My Dark EP (Polyvinyl) CDEP - $10 12" - $12   This seven song mini album features guest appearances by Levon Helm, Michael Hurley, and Tara Jane O'Neil, and includes covers of songs by John Martyn, Dolly Parton, and Annie Briggs.   Oberst, Conor Self Titled (Merge) CD - $14 LP - $17   This recording was made in Tepoztlán, Morelos, México during the months of January and February 2008. In Tepoztlán, a place known for Aztec Magic and Extra-Terrestrial Sightings, a temporary studio was created in a mountain villa called Valle Místico at the outskirts of town. It was produced by CONOR OBERST with much help from engineer and long time associate, ANDY LEMASTER. A special band was assembled for the recording, known amongst themselves and to friends as THE MYSTIC VALLEY BAND. It was there at Valle Místico that Conor and the band lived and worked for that time in near perfect harmony, often unaware of the hour or the day. The result is his first solo album in thirteen years. In that time he has recorded and performed in many bands and musical projects including COMMANDER VENUS, PARK AVE., DESAPARECIDOS, and most notably BRIGHT EYES, his main musical vehicle for the past decade.   Rodriguez Cold Fact (Light In The Attic) CD - $16   It's one of the lost classics of the '60s, a psychedelic masterpiece drenched in colour and inspired by life, love, poverty, rebellion, and, of course, "jumpers, coke, sweet mary jane". The album is Cold Fact, and what's more intriguing is that its maker, a shadowy figure known as Rodriguez was, for many years, lost too. A decade ago, he was rediscovered working on a Detroit building site, unaware that his defining album had become not only a cult classic, but for the people of South Africa, a beacon of revolution. Sixto Diaz Rodriguez was born in 1942 to Mexican immigrant parents in Detroit, Michigan. He recorded Cold Fact, his debut album in 1969, and released it in March 1970. It's crushingly good stuff, filled with tales of bad drugs, lost love, and itchy-footed songs about life in late '60s inner-city America. Now, Light In The Attic is set to commit Cold Fact to CD for audiences in North America, UK, Europe, and Asia, who can finally find out why halfway across the world Rodriguez is spoken of in the same reverent tones as The Doors, Love and Jimi Hendrix.   Stereolab Chemical Chords (4AD) CD - $14 LP - $22   Their eleventh album is a collection of purposefully short, dense, fast pop songs brimming with Motown-like drums, baroque-pop brass and string arrangements, and mellifluous vocal performances. It is, nonetheless, classic Stereolab; like all their best work, a perfect balance between an implausibly cool past and a shamelessly exotic future.   Walkmen You & Me (Gigantic Music) CD - $12   With some romance and drama, You & Me harnesses the immediacy of a live-band into meticulously constructed, unique-sounding rock songs. You & Me would definitely not be mistaken for old, but has an almost immediate ability to evoke a wistful sense of nostalgia in any listener. CD now, SUPER LIMITED vinyl soon!   Watson Twins Fire Songs (Vanguard) CD - $15   You probably know them from their work with Jenny Lewis. Identical Kentucky-born twins Chandra and Leigh Watson can't be easily put in a musical pigeonhole, but they'll cop to folk, gospel, blues and country as early influences. The album was produced by Russell Pollard and J. Soda (members from various incarnations of Sebadoh, Earlimart, Everest, and Folk Implosion). Also includes an outstanding version of the Cure's "Just Like Heaven".   Enter your email address to join our weekly mailing list & receive updates on new releases and special products!
