Largehearted Boy's Interesting CD Releases This Week

Neko CaseIf you have been streaming the new Neko Case album on NPR the past couple of weeks, you know how good Middle Cyclone is. Out tomorrow on CD and digitally, this is by far my favorite music release of the week.

U2’s new album, No Line on the Horizon is available in a variety of options: single CD, CD/Poster/Book/DVD, CD/Poster/Film Download, CD/Magazine/Film Download, MP3, and 2-LP vinyl.

Along with these obvious highlights, the music release week is very strong. From what I have already heard I can recommend Bell X1’s Blue Lights on the Runway, Bosque Brown’s Baby, Marissa Nadler’s Little Hells, Say Hi’s Oohs & Aahs, The Soundtrack Of Our Lives’ Communion, and Wild Light’s Adult Nights.

I haven’t heard hip-hop legend Grandmaster Flash’s new album, The Bridge, but it definitely has me intrigued enough to preorder.

The week’s notable reissues (at least the two I plan to pick up) are both on vinyl, Dungen’s Ta Det Lugnt and M. Ward’s 2001 album, End of Amnesia .

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