	A Storm Of Light And We Wept The Black Ocean Within (Neurot Recordings)
	The debut album by the new Brooklyn, NY band featuring JOSH GRAHAM, NEUROSIS visual director and former member of RED SPAROWES and BATTLE OF MICE. The esteemed guitarist/vocalist is joined on this recording by bassist/vocalist DOMENIC SEITA (ex-TOMBS, ex-ASEA) and drummer PETE ANGEVINE of SATANIZED. Since then, rhythmic pugilist extraordinaire VINNY SIGNORELLI (UNSANE, ex-SWANS) signed on as second drummer. As one would guess by the pedigree, A STORM OF LIGHT is brutally hard-hitting. However, the group's haunting harmonic drone meshes with guitar, vocals, and subtle keyboard layers, giving listeners more a sense of suffocation by drowning than a simple pummeling.


	Abe Vigoda Skeleton (Post Present Medium)
	ABE VIGODA are the new LA punk secret weapon. Coming from a shattered and splattered background of no wave, pop, darkness and hope, Abe Vigoda bring forth a sound that is tempting and beautiful, yet melodic and tropical. The first proper full-length comes in the name Skeleton and is a twisted joy ride through the four boys' private party. Soothing parts that remind you of Captain Beefheart and My Bloody Valentine, or some punk with a haunting reggaeton pulse that makes you move. When the record is done after a little more than thirty minutes, you are left feeling that there is something they are trying to tell you, on second listen it smacks you in the face.


	Adele 19 (XL)
	Debut album from the UK singer/songwriter. She cites influences as diverse as Etta James, Jill Scott, Bjork, Dusty Springfield, Billy Bragg, Billie Holiday, Jeff Buckley, The Cure and Peggy Lee. Limited pressing includes a bonus live acoustic disc.


	Adem Takes (Domino)
	Adem, the toast of the UK nu-folk scene, serves up a carefully crafted album of covers featuring material from the cream of independent and avant artists of the recent past: Bedhead, PJ Harvey, Lisa Germano, Pinback, Aphex Twin, Yo La Tengo, Smashing Pumpkins, Tortoise, Bjork, The Breeders, and Low.


	Allien, Ellen Sool (BPitch)
	Sool is the fourth full-length solo release by the inimitable queen, Ellen Allien. Welcome once again to the Allien world: this one is subtle, mysterious, and minimal. Created in the deepest and darkest of Berlin's winters, 2007-2008, Sool is intended to be a valve, a loophole, a respite from the crazy summers into the introspection and hibernation of winter.


	Anniversary Devil On Our Side: B-Sides & Rarities (Vagrant)
	26 tracks of odds and ends, including demos and compilation tracks.


	Architecture In Helsinki Like It Or Not (Polyvinyl)
	The Australian sextet is back with their third single from their critically lauded album Places Like This. With the Like It or Not EP, the band finally records "One Heavy February" and "Beef in Box," which are two longtime crowd favorites from their live shows, to accompany the single version of "Like It or Not." To top it off there is a "Like It or Not" remix by one of 2008 biggest buzz bands, EL GUINCHO. CD version includes the bonus "Hold Music (MAX TUNDRA Remix)."


	Atmosphere Sad Clown Bad Spring 12 (Rhymesayers)
	Hot off the heels of their critically acclaimed sixth studio album, When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold, Slug and Ant bring you volume twelve of their Sad Clown series. Rounding out the seasonal EPs, this release marks the transition from winter to summer -- a musical and lyrical rebirth.


	Azeda Booth In Flesh Tones (Absolutely Kosher)
	There are no women in AZEDA BOOTH. If you're reading this before you've played their debut album In Flesh Tones, you're probably puzzled. Press play and come back. The band shares the same sublime androgynously-voiced space as Antony and the Johnsons, jazz great Little Jimmy Scott and Philly-soul angels the Stylistics. Musically, there are only sightlines, no touchstones. They twist and flutter, too skittish for space rock, too hot for IDM, too concise and charming for glitch-core. In Flesh Tones, Azeda Booth's debut full length is a benchmark album, a thing of dazzling beauty and fragile inspiration.


	Babayof, Noa From A Window To A Wall (Language Of Stone)
	Much is made about the lack of originality in music. "Everything has been done, and done to death" people decry. Music has always been a continuum. Styles and traditions are passed from one generation to the next to be cherished, replicated, altered or reinvented. Just as one individual looks to another for identity and support, so one song looks to the last for meaning; a place in the grand structure. NOA BABAYOF does what many before her have done. She is a folk musician in the singer-songwriter tradition. She pays homage here, stretches boundaries there, and most often plays within the structures formed by the greats that preceded her.
