Largehearted Boy's Interesting CD Releases This Week

Two of this week's music releases are exceptional enough to possibly end up on my year-end list of favorite albums. Andrew Bird's Armchair Apocrypha is simply amazing - missing him last week was one of my biggest disappointments at SXSW. Low's Drums and Guns is yet another stellar release from the Minnesota group. From what i've heard already, I can definitely recommend the new albums by LCD Soundsystem, Panda Bear, Rose Kemp, the Ponys, the Pierces, and Land of Talk. Modest Mouse and Ted Leo both also have new releases this week.

What can you recommend from this week's music release list?

palomar's new CD is AMAZING. seriously my favorite record by a brooklyn band in the last year or two.

Posted by bryce | March 21, 2007 10:16 PM

The Palomar disc is definitely worthwhile.

Posted by david | March 21, 2007 10:43 PM

I recommend the Ted Leo album.

Posted by Kasasha | March 21, 2007 11:24 PM

The new LCD is probably the best stuff Murphy's ever done.

Posted by MARLOW | March 22, 2007 2:48 AM

i like the new Locust album, the new Chinese Stars album, and the I'm From Barcelona album but that's just me.

and what's not to love about a Cibo Matto "best of" album?

Posted by craig | March 22, 2007 3:21 AM

PANDA BEAR!!!!!! incredible album. also, LCD and Palomar are quite good

I didn't even know Palomar had a new one. I love III, but I hope this next one is different enough.

Am I taking crazy pills or did Devin The Dude drop a new album on Tuesday? Haven't heard a peep about it and he's gotta be one of the best rappers not signed to a major label.

I wonder why The Fork hasn't reviewed the new Andrew Bird album yet.

Posted by Greg | March 22, 2007 10:33 AM

Too much good stuff out this week. I'm pickin up LCD, Panda, Tracey, Modest, El-P, Land of Talk, Low, Ponys, Ted Leo. I'm broke.

New Redman single (it's okay), J Dilla "Rough Draft" is nice, Cibo Matto greatest hits you can't go wrong with, and The Locust's new one is very nice too.

Posted by Brian | March 22, 2007 11:05 AM

Ah, that Ellen Allien curated comp is also HOT. Psyched for her performance on Saturday at Studio B.

Posted by Brian | March 22, 2007 11:06 AM

It's a dj set, right?

Posted by Eduardo | March 22, 2007 11:08 AM

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it is...

Posted by Brian | March 22, 2007 11:35 AM
