The Sharp Things

DOWNLOAD: The Sharp Things - An Ocean Part Deux (MP3)

Ryan Adams releases his ninth album, Easy Tiger, this week. Other discs I can strongly recommend include Swervedriver frontman Adam Franklin's solo album Bolts of Melody, Frank Black's solo greatest hits collection Best of Frank Black '93-'03, Hem's Home Again, Home Again, Metric's Grow Up and Blow Away, the Sharp Things' A Moveable Feast, and Slaraffenland's Private Cinema. Pearl Jam releases a box set of live recordings tomorrow, Live at the Gorge 05/06.

Other interesting releases this week include Roxy Music frontman Bryan Ferry's Dylanesque (a collection of Dylan covers), and two new installments in the Rockabye Baby Lullaby series: Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions of The Pixies and Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions of the Rolling Stones.

Have I left anything noteworthy off the list? What new music releases can you recommend this week?
