This Week's Interesting Music Releases (July 21st, 2009)
The Fiery Furnaces release I'm Going Away this week, my favorite album among many worthwhile CDs on store shelves tomorrow.
Self-titled albums by the Bad Veins and Blue Roses are especially impressive debuts. Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs Under The Covers: Vol. 2, their second covers compilation.
Three remastered albums from folkie Bert Jansch (L.A. Turnaround, A Rare Conundrum, Santa Barbara Honeymoon) are the reissue highlights this week.
Other albums I have heard and can strongly recommend include Magnolia Electric Co.'s Josephine, Florence & the Machine's Lungs, The Starlight Mints' Change Remains, and Wye Oak's The Knot.
Literary folks might find the Ice-9 Ballads interesting. A collaboration between author Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. and composer Dave Soldier, these two works feature Vonnegut's own narration.
What new music can you recommend this week? What's on your shopping list? Have I left any interesting releases off the list?
