Largehearted Boy's Interesting CD Releases This Week

DOWNLOAD Jens Lekman – The Opposite of Hallelujah (MP3)

Night Falls over KortedalaJens Lekman‘s Night Falls Over Kortedala hit #1 on the Swedish pop album charts, and finally gets a US release tomorrow. AOL is streaming it for free right now.

Indie music fans have plenty of worthy choices among the week’s releases. I can strongly recommend the Fiery Furnaces new disc Widow City, Enon’s Grass Geysers…Carbon Clouds, Doveman‘s With My Left Hand I Raise the Dead, Beirut‘s The Flying Club Cup, Band of HorsesCease to Begin, and Scout Niblett‘s This Fool Can Die Now.

A must-have reissue for Viva Voce fans this week is the double CD release of Lovers, Lead the Way/The Heat Can Melt Your Brain, completely remastered with bonus tracks. Other notable reissues include three discs by Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci, two by the Sun City Girls, and Enon’s Believo!

For your winter holiday mix CD needs, the Smithereens follow their full album cover of the Beatle’s Meet the Beatles with Christmas With the Smithereens.
