Largehearted Boy's Interesting CD Releases This Week
DOWNLOAD: Elliott Smith - Some Song (MP3)
DOWNLOAD: Elliott Smith - Between The Bars (MP3)
I just wanted to take this opportunity to say that I don't like the Lavendar Diamond album, that I'm totally psyched to see that the new Keren Ann is out this week (still haven't heard it), that tickets are still on sale for Keren Ann at Bowery Ballroom, that the Clientele album is streaming at Merge, that I very much want to check out that Boggs album, and that you shouldn't forget that Brakes = Brakes Brakes Brakes (in the U.S.), and that Brakes Brakes Brakes are playing two nights at Mercury Lounge with Pela. And now, Largehearted Boy....

Bjork's Volta is the most hyped music release in a week filled with quality releases.
Fans of the late Elliott Smith will enjoy his latest posthumous album New Moon, and I can also strongly recommend Keren Ann's self-titled release, Electrelane's No Shouts, No Calls, the Clientele's God Save The Clientele, Maximo Park's Our Earthly Pleasures, and Great Lake Swimmers' Ongiara (plus about half of the below list).

Queens of the Stone Age are releasing their first single off the new album ("Sick, Sick, Sick"). Here's hoping Era Vulgaris is light years better than that last stinker they released.
Interested to hear the debut(?) from Cloak/Dagger. Have no idea if it'll be any good.
I think Cinematic Orchestra has a new single out as well.

Other than Bjork, I am most looking forward to the release of "Everything Last Winter" by Fields. They just played Coachella, they are opening for Blonde Redhead tomorrow night and they are headlining a Mercury Lounge show on 5/19.
I was under the belief that Fields' very excellent, shoegaze, anthemic cd would be released tomorrow. Did the release get pushed back or did it just not make the Largehearted Boy cut?
Anyway, the Fields' cd is available for streaming through the NME.com media player.

Field's "Everything Last Winter" was released in early April (i think the 2nd).

It came out last week, but the new album by the Animal Liberation Orchestra called "Roses and Clover" is great! They are playing at the Bowery Ballroom on Thursday May 10th, if anyone wants to come check them out.

DJ Jazzy Jeff (!) is releasing his second full length record tomorrow. I don't think Will guests on it, but Big Daddy Kane does. Hilarious.

From a friend of a friend of a friend.....etc.etc.etc..., I heard about a new release on Tuesday from a band called We Tigers (yea, like the animal collective song)...
went to their myspace page (http://www.myspace.com/wetigersmusic) and the songs are actually pretty interesting...
it's like some lo-fi john cale drones with syd barrett and david bowie overtones.
might pick it up.

you should give the lavender diamonds album a few more listens...it's a grower.

Regarding Fields, I think the April release was in the UK only. Whether the cd is released domestically last week or this week, I did not see it on the Largehearted Boy list.
Just spreadin' the news...
Posted by Dan | May 7, 2007 12:49 PM
no anon @ 12:47, it's just a bad album from a pretty tepid band
Posted by Anonymous | May 7, 2007 12:49 PM
The new Shannon Wright disc comes out this week too, and it's excellent!
Posted by Jeff | May 7, 2007 12:56 PM

selling for face ($35 + TM fees)

"Regarding Fields, I think the April release was in the UK only."
Yeah, at Coachella, they said it'd be released here in May and it looks like it'll be out tomorrow. I'm quite looking forward to it; the best songs they played that day were from the upcoming album.

Hey anon 1:23.
I watched the Fields stream from Coachella. They sounded decent though the female singer was often off-key.
I love the song they opened with, "If you fail we all fail." Great stuff.

Thanks so much for bringing this to my attention, Dan. I am listening to it now, and am seeing Fields w/the wife at Union Hall 5/18. Have loved this band since KEXP started playing them last year...

Dan, dunno about the CD's release, i was referring to digital format - available in April.
Posted by kde | May 7, 2007 2:43 PM
I think a new CD is coming out tomorrow from Travis, too.
Posted by Gwin | May 7, 2007 2:44 PM
DAN DEACON. Spiderman of the Rings. My favorite record of the year so far. Hooray.
Posted by J | May 7, 2007 6:24 PM
I'm a huge Maximo Park fan and, upon initial listen, I didn't much like the new record. However, after 20 listens, I have to say that it's wonderful.
