Largehearted Boy's Interesting CD Releases This Week
DOWNLOAD: God Help the Girl – Come Monday Night (MP3)
Regina Spektor’s new album Far pushes the singer-songwriter even closer to pop superstardom without sacrificing any of the melodic or lyrical wit that is so endearing.
Drive-By Trucker Patterson Hood’s second solo album, Murdering Oscar (and Other Love Songs), is in stores tomorrow. He is currently on a tour with two NYC shows this week.
God Help The Girl “is a story set to music by Stuart Murdoch of Belle and Sebastian, and features the vocal talents of Catherine Ireton, Alex Klobouk and Celia Garcia.” MP3 above. Video below.
Other albums I have heard and can recommend include Foreign Born’s Person To Person, A Hawk and a Hacksaw’s Delivrance, Tift Merritt’s live album Buckingham Solo, and Sunset Rubdown’s Dragonslayer.
A remastered edition of R.E.M.s Reckoning (complete with bonus disc) is the reissue highlight of the week, along with a vinyl remaster of the band’s Murmur album.
The Pavement Brighten The Corners: Nicene Creedence Ed. 4-LP box set is tempting (if a little pricey). The CD version was incredibly well put together, so I’m anxious to see what’s in the vinyl edition.
