![]() | Passover by The Black Angels
Buy used from: $8.98 Black Rebel Motorcycle Club + The Dandy Warhols x Clinic = The Black Angels. It also adds up to an awesome cd.
|
![]() | Gulag Orkestar by Beirut
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $8.67 Good lord! A teenager is responsible for this? It's not fair!
|
![]() | Future Women by The M's
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $0.78 A ridiculously good cd. One catchy song after the other. I really hope you check it out.
|
![]() | The Loon
Buy used from: $0.01 Another one of those hyped MP3 blog/Pitchfork approved indie rock bands. And they actually deserve the hype! They're like the Pixies meets Wolf Parade.
|
![]() | Robbers & Cowards by Cold War Kids
Buy used from: $4.75 If you like Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Wolf Parade, Tapes 'n Tapes, etc ... then you're going to like this. A solid live act too!
|
![]() | Be He Me by Annuals
Buy new: $15.98 / Used from: $0.77 A very, very impressive debut from this indie-pop-folk-rock (whatever you want to call it) band from North Carolina.
|
![]() | You in Reverse by Built to Spill
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $2.99 Why the five year wait between releases? I don't know but this has probably been my most anticipated cd for the past two years and it doesn't disappoint.
|
![]() | Post-War by M. Ward
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $8.99 More arrangements and production this time around without losing the appeal of his low-key earlier albums which are all fantastic.
|
![]() | What the Toll Tells by Two Gallants
Buy new: $12.98 / Used from: $3.12 An eclectic mix of songs. One seems punk. Another folk. Another blues. And they take their name from a James Joyce short story. Check 'em out.
|
![]() | Declare a New State! by The Submarines
Buy new: $10.97 / Used from: $6.20 I can't articulate this very well but a record that gets you from the very first song and then all of a sudden you've finished listening to the entire thing only to press play and start over again.
|
![]() | Till the Sun Turns Black by Ray LaMontagne
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $5.25 Comparisons to Nick Drake are inevitable but this is almost 180 degrees from his first album "Trouble" but in the very good way.
|
![]() | How We Operate by Gomez
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $4.05 A very underrated band. They're hard to categorize because each release is generally different from the one before it. But you really must check them out, especially live.
|
![]() | Curse Your Little Heart by DeVotchKa
Buy new: $11.98 / Used from: $4.03 You really have to get their amazing 2004 album "How It Ends" but this release along with the "Little Miss Sunshine" soundtrack should be a nice introduction to this incredible band.
|
![]() | Tell Me by Catfish Haven
Buy new: $14.98 / Used from: $0.74 The review called this a "break-up cd" which I suppose is true once you listen to the lyrics. But musically, it's so fun to listen to.
|
![]() | Every Waking Moment by Citizen Cope
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $3.69 Musically he's so diverse. Think of a "funkier" Ray LaMontagne.
|
![]() | Ways Not to Lose by The Wood Brothers
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $4.69 I'm a fan of Medeski Martin & Wood so I was looking forward to this cd when I heard about it. The songs are very simple and very good. It's a great cd to listen to on a summer evening.
|
![]() | All This Time by Heartless Bastards
Buy new: $15.98 / Used from: $7.99 Awful band name! Awesome cd!
|
![]() | Things Go Better with RJ and Al by Soul Position
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $0.97 RJD2 is the best producer in hip-hop (sorry Kanye) and Blueprint is one of the most underrated MC's. Together, they're Soul Position and this is good, good stuff.
|
![]() | Nux Vomica by The Veils
Buy used from: $3.96 Very nice follow up to the awesome debut album from essentially a solo artist because he has a whole new band on this record.
|
![]() | Show Your Bones by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $5.91 I had kind of written them off as just another one of those New York garage bands but a friend lent me this and it's such a strong release compared to their first full length, which is a good sign.
|
![]() | Be Your Own Pet by Be Your Own Pet
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $0.65 Sure, compare it to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and The Gossip but it's just a cd with good old fashioned two and a half minute garage rock songs.
|
![]() | Magic Potion by The Black Keys
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $6.99 I have loved every release by this two piece (this is their fourth full length) and still don't know why they aren't more popular?
|
![]() | Eingya by Helios
Buy new: $16.98 / Used from: $9.50 A very cool album. Easy listening, indie-style. It could be the score for a movie.
|
![]() | Last Secrets by The Like Young
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $0.14 A solid release from this married two-piece band. If you enjoy short, catchy songs then this should be for you.
|
![]() | Standing in the Way of Control by Gossip
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $6.94 Man, can this girl ever sing. And it rocks too. Check out tracks 2, 6 & 7 and tell me otherwise.
|
![]() | With Love and Squalor by We Are Scientists
Buy new: $8.94 / Used from: $2.34 Sure, there's nothing really groundbreaking here but it's still quite a catchy cd and there's potential for a lot more from them in the future.
|
![]() | It's Never Been Like That by Phoenix
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $7.98 I loved their last cd. This one moves in a little different direction but in a good way.
|
![]() | Nuclear Daydream by Joseph Arthur
Buy new: $14.98 / Used from: $2.50 Very underrated and I don't know why. Please check him out.
|
![]() | Gravity Won't Get You High by The Grates
Buy new: $38.99 / Used from: $2.78 This has been a good year for indie bands fronted by women. Add this to the mix.
|
![]() | Professor Murder Rides the Subway by Professor Murder
Buy new: $8.98 / Used from: $2.67 One of the most promising EP's I've heard. They're like LCD Soundsystem meets TV on the Radio.
|
![]() | Black Holes and Revelations by Muse
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $9.97 A lot of people seem to love these guys and at the same time a lot of people hate them. I never understood the comparisons to Radiohead but they continually put out good cd's. This is no different.
|
![]() | Classics by Ratatat
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $11.31 In the same vein as Helios in the sense that it's a pretty cool indie instrumental record.
|
![]() | Skeleton by Figurines
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $1.68 Pretty much the Danish version of Modest Mouse.
|
![]() | Sing Song by The Little Ones
Buy used from: $0.60 A promising EP from this band, especially the song "Cha Cha Cha". I'm looking forward to their full length.
|
![]() | Derdang Derdang by Archie Bronson Outfit
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $3.54 They're like a British version of The Black Keys.
|
![]() | Under the Skin by Lindsey Buckingham
Buy new: $16.99 / Used from: $0.95 Very nice. And unexpected too since I didn't even know he was working on a new album. Awesome guitar player.
|
![]() | Wolfmother by Wolfmother
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $2.33 Their hype seems to have died down but this is still a good old fashioned rock cd.
|
![]() | The Audience's Listening by Cut Chemist
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $3.10 It's too bad he left Jurassic 5 because their new album was less than impressive. This solo album from him, however, is very impressive.
|
![]() | Drowaton by The Starlight Mints
Buy new: $15.98 / Used from: $2.43 I had never heard of these guys before. It's a very fun cd to listen to. It was described perfectly with the phrase "bubblegum psych".
|
![]() | A Hundred Miles Off by The Walkmen
Buy new: $15.98 / Used from: $0.75 Very comparable to The Strokes. Especially in the sense that following a very, very good second album, the third release is at times hit or miss. Still, that half of the cd is good enough to warrant repeat listenings.
