So far its been a very good year for new music, but next week promises so much in the way of interesting new releases, that I’m beginning to worry about some kind of impending apocalypse. To wit:
The Besnard Lakes Are the Roaring Night, The Besnard Lakes
Broken Bells, Broken Bells
The Winter of Mixed Drinks, Frightened Rabbit
Plastic Beach, Gorillaz
Sisterworld, Liars
The Brutalist Bricks, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists
The Monitor, Titus Andronicus
My ears are tired just reading that list. Having listened to three of those records, I can say at this early stage that one of them is fantastic, one is really solid, and one is by Gorillaz. Either way, we’ll be here to cover the whole thing next week.
