Largehearted Boy's Interesting CD Releases This Week

DOWNLOAD: Sally Shapiro – He Keeps Me Alive (MP3)

editor’s note: My favorite release this week is Sally Shapiro. Also, I guess it comes out this week in the U.S. – not two weeks ago (that was Canada). Largehearted Boy….

Im Not There SoundtrackOf all the week’s releases I have heard so far, the soundtrack to the Bob Dylan biopic I’m Not There has held the most appeal. Featuring indie artists from Sonic Youth to Yo La Tengo to Jeff Tweedy, this could be my favorite compilation of the year.

The soundtrack to the Joy Division biopic Control is also out tomorrow, along with US releases of three of the band’s remastered albums with bonus material, Closer, Still, and Unknown Pleasures.

Other notable reissues include two Tegan and Sara discs, If It Was You and So Jealous.

Of the remaining discs, I can strongly recommend Nicole Atkins‘ debut album, Neptune City and Who Goes There by Ian Ball (of Gomez).

Have I left anything noteworthy off the list? What new music releases can you recommend this week? What should I avoid? What are you picking up?
