Superchunk - Here's Where the Strings Come In
AMG Review:
--- Quote ---Without changing their tensely wound, post-Hüsker Dü punk-pop style at all, Superchunk sound completely weary on Here's Where the Strings Come In. No longer do their nervous, amateurish songs sound energetic -- they sound tired and broken. This actually results in some really interesting music, as Mac McCaughan tries to reconcile his broken spirits with his passion for punk. These songs tend to have more resonance than by-the-books rave-ups like "Hyper Enough," no matter how well those are written, and they suggest that Superchunk may be better off if they decide to revamp their signature sound completely

This City - Random Songs I Found of Theirs on the Internet
These guys are gettin pretty big over in Brighton and Manchester and have been described as, "like The Travelling Wilburys if it was made of members of Bloc Party and At The Drive In." I dunno by who, but that's pretty accurate. Their album is comin out in about a week and i just thought i'd give you guys a little taste before then.

OK this isn't a legitimate release or anything but something some may enjoy, I posted this to a blog of mine but the description works here too.
I put this together for a friend of mine recently, and figured some others may enjoy it as well. The Clipse, if you don't know, are the brother Pusha T (Gene Thornton) and Malice (Terrance Thornton) and as far as quality over quantity Clipse are batting nearly 100. They've had two legitimate studio albums (Lord Willin' 2002, Hell Hath No Fury 2006) and the usually great 'We Got It 4 Cheap' Mixtape series'. With a new album scheduled to be released this spring they dropped the free mix tape promoting their new clothing line. Everything on this is taken from one of those releases (other than the Flashing Lights remix) and for the most part is in "order" (earliest to latest) and takes some of the strongest tracks from both Clipse and The Re Up Gang (Clipse + mediocre 'gangsters' Ab-Liva and Sandman) releases.

LemonOfPink:
It's been a while, but how would you feel about some wonders from transgender harpist, Baby Dee?
I first saw her (him?) opening for Bonnie Prince Billy and Matt Sweeny. The microphones were very quiet and so the audience was, to an extent, rather rude, but she nonetheless gave an AMAZING performance. Sort of a cross dressing Joanna Newsom, I suppose.
The first album is a studio album with songs performed on piano, and the second is a limited edition live LP from a gallery concert with cellist John Contreras. Beautiful, touching music. Rather strange vocals, but I hope you can get around that.
If you have to pick one, pick the live LP. Both highly recommended, of course.

I just registered to say you guys are all awesome and I've found a lot of music that I now love from this thread, so keep up the great work! Also I wanted to post this album by Akufen, whose music is really hard to find for some reason. He does some awesome IDM type stuff that is a lot of fun to listen to or I suppose dance to if you are into that sort of thing.
From allmusic:
--- Quote ---One could say that Marc LeClair is to tech-house what Todd Edwards is to garage, since they both apply cut-up techniques to their hook-heavy productions. And, rather frequently, those cut-ups are the hooks. However, LeClair does away with scissors and wields a gleaming exacto knife instead, splicing seconds of the radio babble he has recorded -- from songs, commercials, DJs, who knows what else -- and proficiently places them all for the sake of the tune. Bored with hearing rhythms, choruses, and complete songs transferred from one artist to another, LeClair is motivated to render his randomly captured samples unrecognizable and sculpt them into something that is much greater than their sum. With all the talk of LeClair's methodologies and aims (his own declarations in the liners taken into consideration), it's easy to get lost on the fact that My Way is a terrifically delightful, upbeat record, tipsy with buoyant basslines, swooning textures, and unorthodox hooks. The 4/4 beat on the opening "Even White Horizons" takes four minutes to kick in, prefaced by a cluster of fragmented acoustic guitar flicks that dart in and out between the left and right channels. Following that, the baleful haze of "Installation" and the blissed-out daze of "Skidoos" offer thumping vapo dub, only setting the table for what's to come. "Deck the House" is the obvious centerpiece, a seemingly painstaking but joyously frantic bricolage of LeClair's recordings (blurts of harmonica, snips of radio jingles and pop tunes, more acoustic quarter-licks, unidentifiable sources reduced to squiggles and blips) married to a jumpy house rhythm. That's where the album crests, but the remaining six songs keep the magic flowing, ending with the title track -- a smooth vocal number that seals off one whale of a record.

There's also an Akufen Fabric live album that I can post, but I'm not sure if it's already been posted or not.
meanwhile:
The Samuel Jackson Five - Goodbye Melody Mountain (2008)
Great instrumental rock, which isn't a genre I normally enjoy very much, but I can't argue with this. Been listening to this non-stop for the past few days.
