BLACK KEYS Attack & Release CD

CARL CRAIG Sessions 2xCD

DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN Ire Works CD
*** New album!

DOUBTFUL GUEST Acid Sauna CD

FAIRPORT CONVENTION What We Did On Our Holiday CD
*** "Fairport Convention 2nd album, released in 1969, is the first to feature the beautifully haunting vocals of the legendary Sandy Denny. Some of the Fairport Convention's finest moments, many consider this lineup to be the finest in the Fairport's long and varied career."

*** New album!

BARRY LYNN Balancing Lakes 2xLP / CD

VAN MORRISON Keep It Simple CD
*** He's back and he's bald! Of course, that has nothing to do with music (although I suppose it might inform it in a way), this is Van Morrison, so it's great.

KELLEY POLAR I Need You To Hold On CD
*** "A unique, strange and beautiful collection of songs that somehow, by accident or design, remains utterly accessible. In other words: outsider pop. Fantastic rhythms and infectious basslines are not excluded from Polar’s tapestry. Mixed by MORGAN GEIST (Metro Area)."

REM Accelerate CD

OMAR RODRIGUEZ-LOPEZ Apocalypse Inside An Orange 2xLP / CD

VALET Naked Acid CD
*** "Naked Acid is the second solo release from Portland artist Valet, aka Honey Owens Inspired by the Pacific Northwest landscape, semi-conscious dream states and the idea of one's dna code being accessed as eternal memory. Naked Acid is a fever dream of ghostly incantation and smudged psychedelia."

WHY? Alopecia LP / CD
*** Former CLOUDDEAD avant hip-hopper is at his most ::cough:: "indie pop" -- a marvelous and lushly-constructed album.
