Largehearted Boy's Interesting CD Releases This Week
KCRW’s Sounds Eclectic: The Next One collects in-studio performances from the station’s Morning Becomes Eclectic program, and offers a diverse range of artists (from Oliver Future to the Shins). Co-produced by Morning Becomes Eclectic host Nic Harcourt (one of the inspirations behind Largehearted Boy), the disc serves as a fundraiser for the station. I cannot recommend KCRW’s Sounds Eclectic: The Next One enough, it is quality music that supports a great cause. The compilation’s track list:
1. ‘Falling Slowly’ – The Swell Season
2. ‘Heart it Races’ – Architecture in Helsinki
3. ‘Australia’ – The Shins
4. ‘Until You Leave’ – Stoney
5. ‘You’re A Wolf’ – Sea Wolf
6. ‘Home’ – Great Northern
7. ‘I Summon You’ – Spoon
8. ‘Fruit Machine’ – Ting Tings
9. ‘What’s a Girl to Do’ – Bat for Lashes
10. ‘Stranger Than the Stranger’ – Oliver Future
11. ‘Time Bomb’ – Goldspot
12. ‘Life is Still Beautiful’ – The Orange Lights
For a holiday weekend in the US, the music release list is pretty hefty. Of the remaining new releases I can recommend Apollo Sunshine’s Shall Noise Upon (out on CD this week), Birdmonster’s sophomore effort From the Mountain to the Sea, Giant Sand’s ProVISIONS, Sonya Kitchell’s This Storm, and TK Webb & the Visions: Ancestor.
I haven’t heard Southside Johny & La Bamba’s Big Band’s, Grapefruit Moon: The Songs Of Tom Waits, but it looks like one of the year’s most promising covers albums.
The highlight of the week’s remasters are five Radiohead import limited edition vinyl reissues: Amnesiac, The Bends, Hail to the Thief, OK Computer, and Pablo Honey.
Dean & Britta’s L’Avventura is also reissued this week with bonus tracks.
