Largehearted Boy's Interesting CD Releases This Week

Metric
Metric’s first album in four years, the highly anticipated Fantasies hits store shelves tomorrow.

The week’s release list is filled with quality music, Bill Callahan’s Sometimes I Wish We Were an Eagle and The Handsome Family’s Honey Moon are already among my favorite releases of 2009. From the albums that have already crossed my path, I can also strongly recommend Ida Maria’s Fortress Round My Heart, Papercuts’ You Can Have What You Want, Pomegranates’ Everybody, Come Outside!, and Wooden Shjips’ Dos.

The most interesting music release of the week may be Easy Star All-Stars’ Easy Star’s Lonely Hearts Dub Band, a dub remake of the Beatles’ classic album.

Lights in the Attic follows its critically acclaimed (10.0 at Pitchfork) reissue of Serge Gainsbourg’s Histoire de Melody Nelson with two Monks releases, the remastered Black Monk Time (with bonus tracks) and a reissue of The Early Years: 1964-1965. Other reissues of note include Beck’s remastered One Foot in the Grave and two remastered Dukes of Stratosphear discs, 25 O’Clock and Psonic Psunspot.

What new releases can you recommend? Have I left anything off the list?
