((((( NEW ARRIVALS: CDs ))))) The Fall, The Week That Was, Wild Beasts

THE FALL Imperial Wax Solvent CD
*** Import-only 2008 album by The Fall finally in-stock -- one of the best-received Fall albums in years.

THE WEEK THAT WAS The Week That Was CD
*** "The Week That Was emerged from an imagined crime thriller dreamt up by FIELD MUSIC's Brewis and inspired by Paul Auster's labyrinthine storytelling. Musically the record is an expansive tribute, paying direct (and indirect) homage to the wildly ambitious Linn Drum and Fairlight experiments of Gabriel, and Tin Drum-era Japan."

WILD BEASTS Limbo, Panto CD
*** "The debut from Leeds-based Wild Beasts is a collection of ten beautiful, eccentric, very British tales. An incredibly confident record showcasing the band's pop sensibility as well as their humorous side. Delightful, romantic, magical, and timeless."
